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.

Here is the problem with my pin number. We didn't have the pin number from last year and I searched for it. So I was delighted when Turbo had filled them in. The day before my husband and I applied for numbers from the IRS because we thought we need them. Of course they were 6 digits. I erased my supplied number and didn't write it down before I discovered that my 6 digits wouldn't fit. I remember the first 2 numbers as 21. All I need is Turbo to fill my number back in. I didn't touch my husbands number. Can you do that or give me the number.
TurboTax does not have your 6 digit PIN that was issued to you by the IRS. The IRS does not share your information with TurboTax.
A 6-digit PIN supplied to you by the IRS is not the same---and is not entered in the same place--as a 5-digit self-select PIN.
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.
