FEDERAL PIN box too small

baljitgrewal3 — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:32:40 GMT

I electronically filed my 2025 taxes with TurboTax today and was rejected. The reason is that the PIN assigned by the IRS is 6 digits long, and the entry box in TurboTax allows only 5-digit entry. Of course, you can't call anyone because there is no telephone number

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.

Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.
