🔐 Protect Your Tax Return with an IRS IP PIN!
An Identity Protection PIN, commonly called an IP PIN, is a free six-digit number known only to you and the IRS. It helps prevent someone else from filing a federal tax return using your Social Security number or ITIN.
✅ Anyone with an SSN or ITIN can request one
✅ A new IP PIN is issued each year
✅ It must be entered on every federal return filed during the year
✅ The IRS will never call, text, email, or contact you on social media asking for your IP PIN
The fastest way to request one is through your IRS Individual Online Account. Remember: your tax professional cannot request an IP PIN for you, so keep your number safe and provide it when you’re ready to file.
Keeping you informed, prepared, and tax-ready!
