Keep getting rejected on my return, error code IND-181-01, first taxpayer. I retrieved my IP pin for this year,(never got a letter), entered it, submitted and got rejected. Had my dependent retrieve his IP pin as he was issued one 2yrs ago, ( used the one issued for this year), entered that and still got rejected. Any ideas?

I am currently having an issue with our IP PIN. Turbo Tax only allows 5 digits for a pin, but the PIN is 6 digits. How do we get around this?

Please follow the instructions below to add your IP PIN in the right place.

How do I add or remove my 6-digit IP PIN?
