IRS IP PIN

Today I filed my 2023 federal and state taxes and both were rejected because my IP PIN is incorrect.

I signed into my IRS account and retrieved my IP PIN. 

the problem is, IRS has assigned a 6 digits pin,  but Turbotax only allows 5 digits.

 

So who is correct? IRS or Turbotax?

 

thanks

Nader

    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

     

    Or enter ip pin in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ip pin

    The question was not how to enter my PIN in turbotax, and was why IRS assigned 6 digits and turbotax allows only 5 digits to be entered.

    The e-filing code is any self-selected 5 digit number.  The 6 digit IP PIN is a separate entry.
