This does not work. I followed this advice and entered my 6 digit PIN. But when I get to the File Return section and am asked for Sign Your 2020 Return, it defaults to 5 numbers and I can not enter more than 5 numbers. My PIN is 6 numbers. This is a problem with Turbotax software that has not been solved. Unacceptable.
The 6 digit Identity Protection PIN and the 5 digit self-selected PIN for e-filing are totally separate PIN's. You only need to enter the IP PIN and the 2019 AGI to e-file the 2020 tax return. You can enter the 5 digit self-selected PIN number with any number you wish.
To enter a 6 digit IP PIN
- Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
- Click on Other Tax Situations
- Scroll down to Other Return Info
- On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button
Or enter ip pin in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ip pin
