I understand that but I mainly am wondering why turbo tax did not have the option to put in an ip pin if I did know it or have it? If I'd known I would've had the pin before I'd file it. Instead of trying to get help when no one at all is available.

TurboTax does have that option,

Only the IRS and you know if you need a IP PIN. TurboTax has no way of knowing.

If you know and have a IP PIN then there is a screen to enter it. If you forgot to enter it then the reject message should remind you and you can go back and enter it.

Because 99% of filers do not have or need a IP PIN then that questions is not asked of everyone, and if you did not know that you needed it then you could not have provided it anyway.
