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 put the six-digit IP PIN Number in and it was still rejected.  So, It says the identity protection pin for the first taxpayer (myself) on the return is required for the Taxpayer Go to the "Federal Tax' tab, select Other Tax Situations;, and choose PIN Selection. enter the correct IP Pin information and resubmit. I did go to the IRS website and entered the pin but it was six digits and Turbo tax only includes 5 not unless I am on the wrong page to submit. CAN YOU HELP?
