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 being requested by TurboTax in the File section of the program is for e-filing. You can enter any 5 digits you select for that PIN
Go to the FEDERAL TAXES drop down menu on upper left side and click. Now go to OTHER TAX SITUATIONS. Look for OTHER RETURN INFO. Under this heading you will see IDENTITY PROTECTION PIN. Press on update. Now enter your 6 digit PIN from the IRS. Now exit. Continue with your return. Somehow TurboTax enters the correct 5 digit pin to your return. I did this and it worked.
