It seems like the e-file PIN box on the Inuit application has a five digit limit while the IRS PIN is a six digit number. I keep getting rejected as well. I think Intuit needs to respond to this immediately.
The IRS-issued IP PIN and your five-digit signature PIN are two separate numbers. Your PIN is one you create which acts as an electronic signature on your return; the IRS IP PIN is used for identity verification.
Here are two ways to navigate to the section to enter the 6 digit IP PIN:
Or another way:
The e-file PIN is a self-selected 5 digit PIN that is used to e-file the tax return along with the 2021 AGI.
If you received a 6 digit Identity Protection PIN from the IRS because you reported some type of identity theft to the IRS then you also have to enter the IP PIN.
