If you have a six digit IP from the IRS then you have been trying to enter in the wrong place.

 

 

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.

So to enter your IP Pin you need to go to Federal > Other Tax Situations > Other Return Info > Identity Protection Pin > Start > Yes at least one of us got an IP PIN > Enter Your 6 Digit IP Pin Here and continue to file your return. Hope this helps
