I'm filing an amendment for 2023 tax return. On 1040x, should I put PIN I got from last year or the new PIN I got this year?

If you're Amending your 2023 Return, use your new 2024 IP PIN.

The annual IP Pin must be used when filing personal federal tax return(s) during the year, including prior-year tax returns and amended returns filed.

In the FILE section, TurboTax may ask you for a 5-digit PIN (or your AGI), which may already be filled in for you from your original return, so you don't need to change it.

I just had my 2023 amended return rejected because of an incorrect IP PIN. I used TurboTax on-line last year and this, and I had entered my new 2024 IP PIN (and this year's return was accepted). However, TurboTax apparently did not use the new IP PIN when it e-filed the amended return.

Now, when I look at my account, it says I need to download the desktop version of TurboTax in order to amend my return, and the link to "Learn More" indicates I will have to purchase the desktop version.

Is there really no way to re-try the e-file with the new IP PIN?
