I keep getting an rejection because my pin is not entered. I checked and my pin is in there from last year. it still rejected 3 times. SO I went and got a new pin from the IRS but it is a 6 digit number and the field on the form allows only 5. What do I do?

    The Pin you received from the IRS is an IP PIN and is different from the 5 digit pin you used last as your electronic signature.

     

    To enter your IP Pin number in TurboTax follow these steps:

    1. Open up your return, and go to Federal.
    2. Select Other Tax Situations.
    3. Scroll down to Other return Info and select show more.
    4. Follow the screen prompts to enter your IP Pin number.
