This is bunk. I have the 2019 Turbo Tax Premier and there is only room for a 5 digit pin. The Feds have issued my husband and I a six digit pin because of a previous identity theft (thank you Turbo Tax), and now I cannot enter the federally issued PIN?

Did you READ and TRY the answer posted above. It is ONLY for a 6 digit IP PIN issued by the IRS.

This is not one of the questions/categories in the process of completing your 2020 tax filing. There is driver license information, but not Identity Protection question. This was cause for my initial filing to be rejected.

There needs to at least be a question for those of us who receive yearly filing identification IP Pin numbers.

May I get some clarification?

Are you getting a specific error message? Or, are you saying there is not a section to enter your IP PIN? Please respond here for further assistance.

It's simple. The number of digits in the Federal assigned PIN number is six. Last year your product required five digits. I no longer use your product because of this problem. I'm not sure if this year's product uses six or five, but last year I had to file paper because of your product using five digits. Not a good year to file paper. This year, the FEDS have assigned another six digit pin number.

Why it took a year to address this matter is another reason I no longer use your product.
