Why does turbotax ask for my husband's pin number when I try to file for a tax extension? I am married, filing separately. We do not live together and I am head of household. So the tax extension filing won't go through because it's asking to create a pin for my husband. Why can't I just create my pin and that's it???

It depends. If you know you are eligible for the head of household filing status, then you should select that for your extension. This would eliminate the need for your husband's PIN. When you actually file your tax return go back to your Personal Information section and make your changes to allow TurboTax to determine your filing status as usual.
