I'm about to Sign my 2023 Return

To Sign I need to enter the 2023 e-filing PIN, the text box only has 5 digits, but the PIN that I entered under Federal Taxes -> Other Tax Situations -> Identity protection PIN that I entered is 6 digits.

 

The last digit is missing and the text box in the e-file section won't let me enter the last 6th digit

The 5 digit e-file PIN and the 6 digit IP PIN are totally separate.  Enter any 5 digits to e-file the tax return.

TurboTax should be very explicit on this regard. 

 

Every year I hit the same problem and of course I always forget how I solved it the year before.

Trying to sign my 2023 Fed Tax return. My assigned PIN is 6 digits. 

The box only allows 5 digits.

What do I do?
