    The 5-digit code in TurboTax is a self-select PIN which you can use to verify your identity. It is not the IRS PIN.

     

    See this TurboTax Help article.

     

    To enter your IRS IP PIN, follow these steps:

     

    1. In TurboTax Online, open your return
    2. Click on Search (magnifying glass icon) at the top right of your screen
    3. In the Search box, enter IP PIN and click Enter
    4. In the search result box, click on Go to IP PIN
    5. TurboTax will take you directly to the section where you can enter your IRS IP PIN.
