There are 2 pins. The 5-digit self-selected pin can be left blank. There is also the Identity Protection pin (IP-Pin) 6-digit that must be entered if issued.  There's a new one every year.     https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-identity-protection-personal-identification-number-ip-pin 

You're right.   It is too late 🙂   I already wrote the direct navigation steps, so here are 2 methods that may help someone in Online TurboTax.  However, these are actually for ONLINE TurboTax, and I just noticed you are using desktop TurboTax.   Well, I'll follow up with the desktop method for good measure in another comment.  🙂   I realize you no longer need it, since you used Forms Mode instead.     I guess I should go to bed, too!   ********************************** For Online TurboTax I can tell you where a state "applied overpayment" from 2023 is entered in the program (or autopopulates if you transferred from last year) so you can confirm it is correct.   Surprisingly, even for state applied overpayment, it's done on the Federal side.   See if you can use this shortcut:   Open your return interview, and in the top right corner click the Search icon (magnifying glass.) In the search box enter applied overpayment without quotes.   When entering disregard any of the dropdown suggestions.   Instead click the adjacent magnifying glass that's inside the search box. You should get a blue link Jump to applied overpayment.  Click that. Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid. Scroll way down that list almost to the last category and find 2023 Refund Applied to 2024.  Click the little arrowhead to expand and see the subtopics.  Then choose the type of applied overpayment to report, such as, 2023 refund applied to 2024 state taxes, if that's your situation, and click Start or Revisit. Then continue answering the screens about your applied overpayment. If you can't get to it using that "jump to" method, here's an alternate navigation:   Go to the left menu column and click on Tax Tools, then subtab Tools. In the Tools center click on blue button Topic Search. In the search line enter applied overpayment without quotes, make the selection in the list for same term, and click GO. Continue with the last 4 bullet points in the first method I gave above.

Took me a bit to figure this out too, but when you open the tax file from a prior tax year - it'll be hard to find the "Amend" option. TurboTax CD / Desktop versions consider Amendments as "New Returns", so the way to see that option is to first go to the top left hand menu / horizontal navigation bar and Select File > New Tax Return > then on that start page, if you look on the screen the "Amend" return option will appear as one of the options.   Hope this helps!

ah hah, I found the answer.   I went to the forms format and found a form that has the Prior Year PIN.  This form is completely hidden from all the steps that we have to go through during the question/answer session with Turbo Tax.   Apparently, if I have not been able to e-file, the prior year PIN will be empty (or shown as all zeroes) when I try to transmit my returns.   The silliest thing is that now I can pass Turbo Tax road blocker of e-pin, but I don't know if the IRS will accept my submission, because I mailed in both 2022 or 2023, so I definitely do not have the e-pin for 2023.  Maybe IRS will use my 2021 as the last time I  successfully submitted e-file.   Hopefully this will help someone!

there is no reciprocity between the two states. assuming you both were full-year Illinois residents, the MO wages are taxable in IL. to avoid )complete) double taxation what IL allows is a credit for some or all of the MO taxes paid.   For this to work properly in Turbotax the non-resident state must be done first. 

Thank you thank you. Got it imported.   Now I have a different issue. I forgot to save it & it asked me to do that. But I had changed screen resolution so I could read the text better. & now to answer the security question its off the bottom of the page.

Please delete this post or ignore it. I looked further and found that I had overpaid last year and applied the overage to this year taxes. Not sure that  TT's use of "estimated tax" is the best term or where to place it, especially since the Franchise Tax Board shows it as "Other Payment/Credit."  Maybe it is listed as a credit somewhere in the program and I haven't found it yet.

I have this issue also. I filed 2023 TT Deluxe Fed & State downloaded version. Last year I was not happy when it would not import H&R Block I had had to use previous year since Mac was too old. Last year new mac. So this year expected I should be able to easily import last year. But it doesn't show up. & when I opened 2023 I demanded i update.  I' have been scared of that since a # of years ago I updated & it lost a return or something.   When I open 2023 it does not show any returns! But I had done them & filed.
