Are you using the separate Business program or the personal Desktop program.  I don’t know if or how to enter it into Business.   But for a personal tax return, if the search doesn’t give you a Jump To link you can get to it here,

The 6-digit Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is different from the 5-digit e-filing PIN, and is entered in a different place. Here's how to enter your IP PIN in TurboTax if you are e-filing.

• Click the Federal Taxes tab or Personal (Home & Business)
• Click "Other Tax Situations."
• Scroll down to the section "Other Return Info."
• Click the Start, Update, or Revisit button for "Identity protection PIN."

For security, TurboTax does not show the IP PIN on the printed copy of your return.
