Get an Identity Protection PIN¶
Taxpayers who can verify their identities online may opt into the IRS IP PIN program
– a tool taxpayers can use to protect themselves – and their tax refund.
Here’s what taxpayers need to know:
The Identity Protection PIN or IP PIN is a six-digit code known only to the individual and the IRS. It provides another layer of protection for taxpayers’ Social Security numbers on tax returns.
Use the Get an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) tool at IRS.gov/IPPIN to immediately get an IP PIN.
Never share the IP PIN with anyone but a trusted tax provider.
