Filing income tax returns can be complicated, particularly when identity theft occurs, preventing legitimate filings. The IRS offers an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) to help secure taxpayer identities. This 6-digit code is mandatory for certain fraud victims but available as an option for others. To obtain an IP PIN, taxpayers must create an online IRS account and request it through the Profile tab. While commonly confused with a signature PIN, the IP PIN provides greater security against fraudulent claims, especially vital for those who have dealt with identity theft.
Filing an income tax return can be frustrating, especially if identity theft prevents you from doing so. An Identity Protection PIN can help.
Every year, the IRS provides taxpayers a new 6-digit code called the IP PIN, mandatory for some and an option for others to secure their identity.
