When issuing Letter 4674C, select paragraph "R" and g to include the appropriate special paragraphs.
"To help prevent future identity theft issues, we'll issue you an identity protection personal ID number (IP PIN). An IP PIN is a 6-digit number you must use to confirm your identity on any tax returns filed during the calendar year. Because we processed your claim late in the year, your IP PIN notice may be delayed." AND"You may attempt to electronically file your tax return before you receive the notice. If your IP PIN is active, your return will be rejected. If this happens, resubmit your return after you receive your IP PIN or by mail without the IP PIN. A new IP PIN is generated each year. We'll mail the IP PIN to you in December or January. You can find more information at irs.gov/ippinfaqs."
