Hi,

I am trying to file my 2021 1040 on the Mac version of Turbotax Deluxe. Both my wife and I have IP-pins. I believe we should be using our 2022 pin to file our 2021 1040 as we are filing in 2022. We retrieved our pins from the IRS website. The problem is they are 6 digits and the field in Turbotax only allows for 5 digits.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Thank you for your help. I was able to add the 2022 (six digit) IP-pin. The problem is on the signature page when e-filing our federal taxes. It is looking for the 2021 pin (that we do not have) and only accepts fix characters. What do we do with these fields.

Thanks!

You can enter any 5 digit number if required by the software. You must enter your correct 2020 AGI so you can e-file your 2021 tax return.

Do not confuse the 5-digit pin for this year (chosen last year) with the 5-digit pin for next year (chosen now).

You can e-file by supplying either 2020 AGI or 5-digit PIN for this year.
