Unable to enter IRS PIN

For 2023, I am unable to enter the pin the IRS provided me.  I normally enter in the electronic forms, but this year the block will not allow me to type any numbers in the block.

    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.

    Thanks!  That worked...not sure why I cannot put it directly into the form view anymore, but I got it in there using your method.  Thanks again!
