For InputBox(), you can use the default value to determine if the user clicked Cancel or if they clicked OK or hit Enter to continue without entering a value:

Sub Get_TIN()
   TIN = Trim(InputBox("Enter the provider TIN:", "Provider TIN", "ex. 123456789"))

   If TIN = "" Then    'When CANCEL is clicked because "TIN" will be empty.
      MsgBox "You pressed Cancel. Program will now end.", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Macro End"
      Exit Sub
   End If

   If IsEmpty(TIN) = False Then     'When OK is clicked or Enter pressed because default text will be stored. Next, set TIN to "".
      TIN = ""
   End If
End Sub
