Your E-file pin is different from your IP PIN. You will want to leave your E-file pin alone, and you will enter your IP PIN by going to:

Click on the Federal tab (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Other Tax Situations
Scroll down to Other Return Info
On Identity Protection PIN, click the Start button
