When i entered my 5-digit PIN that I used on my 2023 Tax Return, it was rejected on the 2024 Tax Return. But, the TurboTax 1040 only allows me to enter a 5-digit PIN, and the IRS PIN is 6 digits. When I entered the first 5 digits of the 6-digit PIN, my return was rejected. So, how do I enter the 6 digit IRS PIN?
You tried to enter it in the wrong place. The 6-digit IP PIN is entered in a completely different section of TurboTax. Here's the navigation:
If using Online TurboTax, go to the left column menu.
Federal tab (or the PERSONAL tab in Home and Business desktop)
Then select subtab Other Tax Situations
Then on next screen scroll down to Other Return Info
Expand that topic and choose Identity Protection PIN.
When efiling you will still need to enter a different kind of PIN in the FILE process--a 5-digit PIN on the Signature page to "sign" your return. It's on a signature screen with today's date and your birth date. Like it says there, those 5 digits can be any 5 digits of your choosing (except can't be all zeros.)
