Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You have to go to the IRS Web site and take steps to create a 6 number pin. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes to do so and you received the pin online from the IRS. Write down the pin as it is difficult to retrieve once you leave the site. Once I did that and entered the 6 number pin, my return was accepted. However, it is not the 5 number pin assigned by TurboTax at the end of your return. After receiving your 6 number pin from the IRS. You need to return to TurboTax, and return to the Federal Taxes Tab, then go to "Other Tax Situations" and about 1/2 way down the page under Other Return Info, there is Identity Protection Pin. Hit the Update button and it will ask if you received a 6 number pin. Answer Yes, enter pin and then the IRS should accept your return. At least that worked for me.
