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.

An IP PIN is a 6-digit code attributed to you by the IRS to prevent identity theft.

See this IRS document.

If you have one, you'll have to enter in your tax return.

In the Search box, enter IP PIN and click Enter
In the search result box, click on Go to IP PIN
