Where do i enter my ip pin that was provided to me by the irs?

Is it in Other Tax Situations?  I was not a victim of identity theft but opted inn to get an ip pin for security reasons

To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Other Tax Situations
• Scroll down to Other Return Info
• On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

Your answer does not indicate where one "clicks on Federal Taxes".  Is on the Electronic return, on the Turbo Tax site, or IRS.com site?

I cannot find where the Deluxe software allows me to enter this information.  Is it because after the 2022 return data is transferred to the 2023 return, the opportunity to respond to "other tax situations" does not appear?

The final step to filing the electronic return asks to enter one's IP Pin; however, it only accepts five digits, and it tells you so in the error notes, like "enter five digits" and "invalid character or too many characters" when I attempt to enter my IRS-provided six-digit Pin.  I have received two rejection errors, IND996 and IND151-01 and the solutions provided to get the six-digit pins that I have done, but the Turbo tax program does not allow me to enter six-digits.  What I don't understand is why everyone else doesn't have this issue!  Please enlighten me if you can, otherwise I will have to mail it in like I had to do last year with the same problem.

In the TurboTax software that you are using to prepare your 2023 return

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.

@Tkumashiro1 When you are completing your tax return to file you are asked to enter a 5 digit PIN.  This can be any self-selected 5 numbers.  This 5 digit PIN is only used when e-filing a tax return.

The 6 digit IP PIN is only provided by the IRS.  It is used to prove that you are you on the tax return because you requested an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS due to some typo of identity theft in the past.

The 6 digit IP PIN is entered separately from the 5 digit e-file PIN.  It is only entered in the TurboTax program.

if you are using the TurboTax online web-based editions you enter the IP PIN using this procedure -

Click on Federal on the left side of the online program screen

Click on Other Tax Situations

Under Other Return Info

On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

I have the same problem and have had the same problem beginning with my 2022 return. The only way to resolve it appears to be to print and mail the return. The Turbo Tax fixes do not work. I have seen multiple messages from others with the same issue. A "fix" does not appear to exist.
