IP Pin

[skip143]

The IRS gave me a 6 digit IP Pin but when I enter it into the Turbo Tax Federal Information Worksheet, the program only lets me enter 5 of the 6 digits.

In the File section of the program it is asking for a 5 digit PIN for e-filing the tax return.  You can choose any 5 digits.

To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN

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