You must mean the identity protection pin (6-digits and not the filing pin self-selected 5 digits)  which changes every year. You should have gotten a notification from the IRS but you can find it here. IP PIN     

I was able to import, but Turbo Tax 2025 does not ask if it is mine or Spouse' 1099B.  I tried to correct it through Edit, but there's no option to change it either.  Only way to change it seems to be updating it directly on Capital Asset Sales Worksheet selecting under the Forms.

TurboTax does not allow pennies in estimates. Why fool around with pennies in the first place?  However, after printing, you can cross out what was printed and enter anything you want.  You also have the option of signing up for Direct Pay, where you can have the IRS automatically deduct from your bank account or charge a credit card (fees mnay apply for CC) for the amount specified on the date you specify. 

If it's your adjusted gross income that is the issue, did you file after 10/15/2024? - then try zero. if you amended the IRS requires the AGI from the original return.  This is a public forum, so for a different issue we would need the reject code or message. Some versions of TurboTax online do not include support. You would have to pay.     TurboTax support 5am-5pm Pacific Time (8-8 Eastern) Monday - Friday https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact 800-446-8848

Check your IRS transcript. You'll create a nightmare for yourself using that $500 per since it seems wrong or may include FICA taxes, which are not the same as Federal/ State withholding taxes. There shouldn't have been any withholding if you were an independent contractor, while if you were an employee, you should have received a W-2, which should have included the commissions. You could have been a special category - statutory employee. They get a W-2  The IRS statutory employee definition is limited to the following categories: Drivers who are an agent of the employer or paid on commission to distribute beverages other than milk, or meat, vegetables, fruit or bakery products. This category also includes drivers who pick up and deliver laundry or dry cleaning. Full-time life insurance sales agents who work primarily for one life insurance company selling life insurance or annuity contracts. Individuals who work from home on materials or goods supplied by the employer that must be returned to the employer or a person named by the employer. The employer also provides specifications for the work to be done. Full-time traveling or city sales people whose principal business activity is working on one employer’s behalf turning in orders from wholesalers, retailers, contractors, or operators of hotels, restaurants and other similar establishments. The goods sold must be merchandise for resale or supplies for use in the buyer’s business operation.   For such an employee, FICA taxes are withheld, but generally not income taxes Consider seeking professional help. As an employee, your employee expenses are not deductible. As an Independent contractor or statutory employee, your business expenses are deductible. Also, if your company did not file a W-2 or 1099 with the government, then the IRS will likely deny you credit for any withholding taxes you claim.   You'll need to create an account to access your IRS transcripts and other records. https://www.irs.gov/ 

Thank you analogue, this was a helpful set of steps. I found with your recommendation a step I had missed and now the worksheet is calculating correctly and it is included in the PDF file you get when printing for records right before executing the efile process. Thank you for sharing this workflow detail!
