Finally accepted:
I had to log into both my and my wife's IRS accounts (with ID.me verification) after going to get new IP-ID pins:
https://sa.www4.irs.gov/icce-core/loac/ippin/pages/ippin.xhtml
where I was immediately provided with new 6-digit IP-PINs
I went ahead and changed the 5-digit PINs just in case the IRS rejected me using the same 5-digit PINs.
One issue I had was using the search tool within Desktop TurboTax when I typed in "IP-PIN" it did not give me the direct link to change my IP-PIN like it did so many times before. I had to switch over to "Forms" mode and select "Info Wks" then go to Part VII and enter our IP-PINs manually.
