2023 e-filing pin

[kare2k13]

Good afternoon,  I have finally completed our information!!!! but now on the Sign Your Return page it is asking for "Signature - 2023 e-filing PIN"  but it won't take our IRS PIN!!  I get an error message telling me there are too many digits!  Please advise.  Thank you!!

In the File section of the program you enter any 5 digit PIN you select.  This is for e-filing your tax return and is NOT where you enter the 6 digit IP PIN you received from the IRS.

To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN

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

The signature e-filing PIN is a random 5 digit number you make up.

To enter your IP PIN select the following

1. Federal
2. Other Tax Situations
3. Identity protection PIN

You just make up a 5 digit pin on that screen.   The IRS pin is 6 digits and gets entered elsewhere on your return.   Where do I enter my IRS IP PIN?
