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.

Thank you for the response which worked. For a company named Intuit, however, it's not very intuitive to find it under Other Taxes. It should be added to the Personal section at the beginning. That being said, thanks again.

As of 3/15/25, I found I could enter the six-digit IRS-issued identity protection pin in the federal information worksheet. I agree with others who have suggested that "other tax situations" is not an intuitive place to enter the information. And a phone call to Intuit to find the place to enter this information was not helpful.
