I received the IP PIN number but do not see where I should enter it?...

[mivankiv59]

when I started applying there was a question "If I have IP PIN", at that time I didn't have it. I just received my PIN and would like tp enter it. How can I do it now?

I got the IP PIN but when I enter it it allows me to enter only 5 digits but my IP PIN has 6 digits

I went to the forms, and it takes 6 digits I went back to step-by-step, and its showed only 5 digits

I went to file e-file got rejected .

You have to be using the 2024 TurboTax online editions and entering some information for the links on the left side of the online program screen to be displayed.

Under the Federal link is the Other Tax Situations link - 

[daviswhit]

It's located in the 3rd box over called PERSONAL and the 3rd box over called other tax situations.

@daviswhit It would have been helpful if you mentioned that you are using the TurboTax desktop editions so the correct answer could be given.

Here are two ways to navigate to the section to enter the 6 digit IP PIN: 

1. Log in and open your return ("Take me to my return") 
2. Once the return is open, then go to the Federal Taxes tab. 
3. Subtab Other Tax Situations 
4. Scroll down to Other Return Info. 
5. Choose Identity Protection PIN and Start (or Revisit.) 
6. Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?" 

Or another way: 

1. Open your return if not already open.  ("Take me to my return.") 
2. Once the return is open, click at the top on MY ACCOUNT, then choose TOOLS. 
3. In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH. 
4. Enter IP PIN without quotes. 
5. In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO. 
6. Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
