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.

I think you may be confusing your Self-selected PIN with the identity protection pin (IP PIN) the IRS sent you. The self-selected PIN is a number you chose when you first e-filed your return and it is a five digit number. The IP PIN the IRS sends you each year is six digit PIN. Make sure you enter the correct PIN number requested.
