Burke Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 My client received a letter stating he has been assigned a PIN for Virginia filing purposes. The letter says "You must provide your Virginia PIN and SSN on your tax return." And "if using tax software to prepare your return, you will be prompted to enter your Virginia PIN with your tax return data." I am neither prompted for this info, nor is there a field in which to put it. Anyone else had this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 You probably won't be "prompted" to enter the pin - the return will just reject when you efile it if you don't have the identity protection pin number on the return. I use ProSeries, and the entry is made on the state information sheet. It shows up on page two of the state return at the bottom of the additional filing information section on a line labeled Office use only. Maybe you can work backwards to find the entry point. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmy2h Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 In Drake it's on the Demographic Info screen. I haven't had one yet so I don't know if it would be accepted without it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helps. I checked all over the VA data input screen and there is no field there. Will contact ATX to see if update is pending. I also tried to override the "office use" section on Page 2 of the 760, but it will not let me do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on the VA EF Information document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Curious why would the state assign him a pin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
