the 5-digit number is your e-filing PIN. the 6-digit number issued by the IRS (not by TurboTax) is your Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN). The 5-digit number remains the same year to year. The 6-digit number changes every year, and the IRS will mail you the new 6-digit number each year.

These are two different pins. One is an IP PIN. The IP PIN is a six digit number. Your e-file PIN is 5 digits in length. To obtain your 5 digit pin and enter it:

1. Click on the Federal Taxes tab.

2. Click on Other Tax Situations.

3. Scroll down to the section "Other Return Info".

4. Click Start, Update, or Revisit button for Identity Protection Pin.

That is not an IP PIN. If you meant to type CP01A, that is the type of IRS letter, which may have provided your IP PIN. Read the whole letter.

An IP PIN is a 6-digit PIN provided by the IRS to certain victims of ID theft. It consists only of numeric digits. Did you get a CP01A letter from the IRS containing a 6-digit IP PIN?

If so, here's a way to enter the 6-digit IP PIN into your return:

Log in and open your return ("Take me to my return.")
In the left menu column, click Federal.
Then at the top Other Tax Situations
Scroll down to Other Return Info.
Choose Identity Protection PIN and Start (or Revisit.)
Next screen asks: "Did you get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
If you choose "yes", it will have you enter it.

@saenz31cruz The IRS has discontinued the e-filing PIN option. To verify your identity for e-filing, you’ll need to use last year's adjusted gross income (AGI). What happened to the e-filing PIN?

Please see the link below for instructions on how to get last year's AIG:

How do I find last year’s AGI?

Only the IRS provides the 6 digit Identity Protection PIN because you reported an identity theft to the IRS in a prior year.

Go to this IRS website for IP PIN information - https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin

After putting the 6 digit IP Pin in as stated, you can enter any 5 digit pin when you go thru the final steps for filing. Remember the new 5 digit pin for future tax returns.

I received an ip pin number from the IRS for 2020 tax year. I can not enter it on TurboTax, so the IRS will not let me e-file my return, and the state will also not accept it. The way that is shown here to enter it does not work as any of my three computers as there is not a ( Federal Taxes tab ), or the other tabs that follow it. Turbo tax only asked for the 5 number code and gives one no choice to enter the 6 number code, or change between them. I have used turbo tax app. 15 years, but will have to change to another tax service if they do not correct this.

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

Found the ip pin entre. THANK YOU A BUNCH. The problem is I do not need to use the ( Other Tax Situations ) in doing my taxes. The other thing it was said to go to the Federal tax tab, but there isn't any Fed tax tab. There is instead three sections labeled Personal Info, Business, and Personal and under it is located

Other Tax Situations. This section is for entering ones tax information for both Fed. and State taxes.

Any way I got TT to accept the ip pin number.

I filed electronically and was rejected by the because EITHER the AGI and/or the PIN was not correct. The five digit PIN was populated with information from 2019's return. I logged into IRS and obtained a 6 digit PIN and tried to replace the 2019 PIN. The AGI's matched so I "knew" it must be a PIN problem. (I now know the IRS PIN <> TurboTax PIN.) Bottom line, I have become one with IRS rejection notification. I will mail my returns in. :(

@GrandpaKeys The five-digit e-file pin and six-digit identity protection pin are two different things.

If you received a IP Pin from the IRS you have to enter that separately into TurboTax in Other Tax Situations.

Type ip pin in Search in the upper right
Select Jump to ip pin

Once you get an IP PIN you will have to use an IP PIN to file every year. The IRS will mail you a new PIN every year.

Thanks for adding this info. That is EXACTLY what I was wondering - after getting my 6-digit pin in there, what to do about the 5-digit pin.

For identification purposes, you need to enter either last year’s Self-Select PIN (5 digit pin you used to e-file last year) or adjusted gross income (AGI). The Self-Select pin you used last year is not saved anywhere in TurboTax. You would have needed to write it down and save it. But you only need last year's PIN or last year's AGI, not both.

The Self-Select PIN is a random five-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return.

The IP PIN is a six-digit number that the IRS assigns to victims of tax-related identity theft.

What is the difference between the five-digit Self-Select PIN I created last year and my Self-Select PIN this year? @Fan333

For the purpose of signing your electronic return, they’re the same. You can reuse your Self-Select PIN from last year or create a new one to use. It doesn’t matter which option you choose.
