Entering the IRS Filing Pin

I forgot that I set up Identity Protection last year.   I filed and my returns were rejected.  Good to know that works. I have retrieved my PIN but cannot get back to where TurboTax askes the question, "Was anyone on this return assigned an Identity Protection PIN?"  Where can I answer yes?  Running the fix and refile options doesn't get me there.

    on the left hand menu under Federal click on Other Tax Situations then you may get some questions but eventually a button to list other categories, under Other Return Info you can input the IP PIN

    Under Other Tax Situations, look for the section Other Tax Forms and select Show More.
    Find Identity Protection PIN and click Start or Revisit.
    On the screen asking, "Did you or anyone on this return get an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS?" select Yes and enter the 6-digit PIN.
