I found the IRS PIN site with was incorrectly listed on the Turbo Tax page. IRS gave me a six digit PIN. Turbo tax says it will only accept 5 digits.
(Note: Turbo Tax says I can select my own 5 digit PIN, so I entered my own 5 digit, as it is required)
In the File section of the program you only need to enter a 5 digit number that you select. The 5 digit PIN is only used for e-filing a tax return and can be any 5 digits you select.
If you had an identity theft or other issue and requested from the IRS an Identity Protection PIN, the IRS would have sent you the 6 digit IP PIN in the mail, usually in December or January.
These two PIN's are totally separate and are entered separately in two different locations in the TurboTax program.
