What to Know About IRS Identity Protection (IP) PINs
Identity theft can delay your tax refund, create significant stress and require months to resolve. One of the easiest ways to help protect yourself is with an IRS Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN)—a unique six-digit number that helps prevent someone else from filing a federal tax return using your Social Security number.
IP PINs are valid for one calendar year and are available to any taxpayer who can verify their identity through the IRS. The fastest way to get yours is to request one using your ID.me account. Whether you’ve experienced identity theft, been affected by a data breach or simply want to feel more secure, requesting an IP PIN is a free and effective way to add another layer of protection. Learn how IP PINs work and request yours on the IRS website.
