I am trying to e-file a joint return where the taxpayer has a 5-digit self-select PIN and the spouse has a 6-digit IP PIN. This IP PIN was entered correctly under "Other Tax Situations"/ "Other Return Information"/"Identity Protection PIN".
When I go to e-file the return I get an error message from TurboTax indicating that I need to provide a 5-digit self-select PIN for the souse in order to move forward. Since the leading digit of the IP PIN was "0", I used the remaining five numbers in the Self-Select Pin Box so that I could get past the TurboTax error. This allowed me to move forward in TurboTax, but when I e-filed the return, it was rejected because it had the incorrect PIN.
I need some guidance on how I can e-file this return leaving the Self-Select PIN blank while still being able to move forward to e-filing the return with the correct IP PIN.
