The HomeBusiness turbotax desktop version PIN window is one space short as ithe 6th digit is not accepted. Thus my file was rejected. How can it be corrected?

Consequently my efile return was rejected. Obviously that PIN window space is defective. How can it be corrected?

The IP Pin will change each and every year. This is an Identity Protection Pin.  

  

You can get an Identity Protection pin here, or if you lost your IP PIN, you can go here to Retrieve IP PIN. 

 

Here are two ways to navigate to the section to enter the 6 digit IP PIN: 

  

  1. Log in and open your return ("Take me to my return") 
  2. Once the return is open, then go to the Federal Taxes tab. 
  3. Subtab Other Tax Situations 
  4. Scroll down to Other Return Info. 
  5. Choose Identity Protection PIN and Start (or Revisit.) 
  6. Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?" 

Or another way: 

  1. Open your return if not already open.  ("Take me to my return.") 
  2. Once the return is open, click at the top on MY ACCOUNT, then choose TOOLS. 
  3. In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH. 
  4. Enter IP PIN without quotes. 
  5. In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO. 
  6. Next screen asks:  "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
