Question

IRS PIN

Forum|Forum|3 years ago

I have the desktop version of TurboTax and it only allows me to input a 5-digit PIN.

The IRS assigned me a 6-digit PIN, my 2023 tax return was just rejected for this reason.

Is there any fix to the desktop version PIN input box?

Thanks,

the 5 digit PIN is for filing, where you enter the AGI and near where you enter the AGI from last year. The 6 digit IP PIN is in other Tax Situations, I did not get prompted for it in my desktop version but I found it on my own.

The 6-digit PIN from the IRS is an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN), not an e-filing PIN. To enter your IP PIN, type "ip pin" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to ip pin."
