The Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) is a 6-digit number assigned to eligible taxpayers. This number helps prevent identity thieves from filing fraudulent tax returns with stolen Social Security numbers (SSNs). An IP PIN helps the IRS verify taxpayers’ identities and accept their electronic or paper tax returns for processing. The IRS issues IP PINs to confirmed identity theft victims once their cases are resolved. This process is unchanged. What is new is that any taxpayers who wants an IP PIN, even if they are not victims of identity theft, may now obtain one.
