I'm using Pro Series Basic.  My client has an IP PIN.  I know where to enter that, but when I run the federal final review, it want's me to fix the error of not including a 5-digit pin.  What do I enter here in order to pass final review so I can file electronically?

You need to enter both a PIN and IP PIN for the taxpayer with the IP PIN.

5 digit PIN is for efiling.

IP PIN is different.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Yes, I know IP Pin is different than the Pin # used for e-filing.  I even know "where" to place either #.  My problem is when I enter the taxpayer IP Pin and then enter the Spouse 5-digit pin in the other place, when I run the review, it says there is an error bc I'm missing the 5-digit pin for the Taxpayer and I can't file electronic.  So how do I get around this error?
