Sorry, my email responses apparently don't reach you.
Both efile attempts were rejected for lack of IP PIN, code IND-181-01. If I had an IP PIN before those two attempts I was not aware of it.
Of course I meant irs.gov and that was how I got my IP PIN that I was finally able to enter on TurboTax. I also entered the first 5 digits as my signature PIN (not that it makes any difference). With the IP PIN entered my third efile attempt was actually accepted.
As an aside, I have been using TurboTax for many years and have never had so much trouble as I have had this year (2024) with the PIN confusion and with the RMD reporting (where I took distribution from one IRA to cover RMD for another IRA).
Maybe I am getting too old for filing my own taxes but hopefully TurboTax will "correct" those two situations next year.
Thanks for your attention and responses.
