This is a known issue that has developed in the last few hours in the desktop software and has been happening to several people who try to enter or correct the IP PIN. Here's a workaround:
If you are using desktop software, you can also enter the 6-digit IP PIN in Forms Mode on the Federal Information Worksheet, Part VII. Go to Forms Mode, and in the left column forms list choose "Info Wks". That should be the Federal Information Worksheet. Scroll down to Part VII, and the IP PIN should be the first item in that part of the worksheet. If it's a Spouse IP PIN, be sure you use the Spouse line.
Please report back if that worked for you.
