the confusion might be that there are 2 sets of pins. One is the 6-digit IRS pin.
The other one is the 5-digit Turbo Tax pin. If you are filing online, TT asks that you create a 5-digit Turbo Tax pin shortly before you press the final button to transmit. Only 5 digits fit in that space. I don't know where the IRS pin goes, maybe hand-written on the hard copy.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
