I have my new IP PIN for 2024. It is 6 digits, but I can only enter 5 digits in the sign your 2024 return on you form. What is wrong?

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.

The program will only allow me to enter 5 digits. The PIN is 6 digits

You're entering your IP PIN in the area where you enter you e-file pin.

Follow the instructions in the TurboTax article How do I add or remove my 6-digit IP PIN? to enter your IP PIN in the correct spot.
