Issue with filing my return

user17714426512 · ‎February 18, 2026

My return is being rejected. The instructions in Turbo Tax say I should enter a 5 digit identity PIN. The pin I received from the IRS is 6 digits. When I enter the number I received from the IRS into Turbo Tax during filing it gets truncated. How do I get past this?

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.

Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.
