I'm not sure what you mean by "client," but TurboTax is not licensed for professional preparers.

In Online TurboTax, here are 3 ways to get to the right place to enter the IP PIN.  You only need to use one method.   You can choose which method works for you the best.

• Open the interview back up and click in the top right on the SEARCH icon.
• Enter the term IP PIN without quotes.  When entering, ignore the dropdown menu, and instead click the small magnifying glass on that same line.
• Then click on Jump to IP PIN.

Or here's a second way:

• With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
• In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.
• Enter the term IP PIN without quotes.
• In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.

Or here's a third navigation method:

• With your return open, in the left menu column, click Federal.
• Then at the top of the screen choose  Other Tax Situation
• If this is your first time in that section, answer the preliminary questions, and it may ask you if you have an IP PIN.  If so, indicate "yes", and keep following the screens as it guides you to enter it.
• If it doesn't, such as if you've previously been in that section, click on "See all uncommon tax situations" to see all the topics in that section.
  
• In the "Uncommon tax situations" list, scroll down to Other Return Info, and expand to see the subtopics, one of which is Identity Protection PIN.

My e-file was rejected because of the IPPIN.  I located the IPPIN, but it is 6 numbers, and the 2022 E-filing PIN only takes 5 numbers.  What should I do?

The IP PIN is not entered in the space for the 5 digit self-select PIN for e-filing a tax return.

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

Or enter ip pin in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ip pin
