IND-181-01 - IP Pin not working

My return is being rejected because my IP PIN is missing.  I am not sure whether IP PIN and e Filing pin are the same.  If they are the same then the IP pin I retrieved from the IRS website is 6 digits and the e-Filing pin needs to be 5 digits.  Any guidance will be helpful.

 

Regards,

Ameya

    To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN

    Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
    Click on Other Tax Situations
    Scroll down to Other Return Info
    On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

     

    The 5 digit PIN In the e-file section of the program can be any 5 digits you select.
