@Tkumashiro1 When you are completing your tax return to file you are asked to enter a 5 digit PIN. This can be any self-selected 5 numbers. This 5 digit PIN is only used when e-filing a tax return.
The 6 digit IP PIN is only provided by the IRS. It is used to prove that you are you on the tax return because you requested an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS due to some typo of identity theft in the past.
The 6 digit IP PIN is entered separately from the 5 digit e-file PIN. It is only entered in the TurboTax program.
if you are using the TurboTax online web-based editions you enter the IP PIN using this procedure -
Click on Federal on the left side of the online program screen
Click on Other Tax Situations
Under Other Return Info
On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button
