In today's digital age, security is paramount when accessing sensitive information. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has implemented the IRS login PIN, also known as the IP PIN, to protect taxpayers' accounts.
The IRS login PIN is a six-digit code used to verify your identity when accessing your IRS online account. This additional security measure safeguards your personal and financial information.
Visit the IRS website and go to the "Get an Identity Protection PIN" page.
Create an account or log in if you already have one.
Verify your identity using the required information1.
Once verified, you’ll receive your six-digit IP PIN immediately.
Retrieve it Online: If you’ve registered for an IP PIN online, you can log in to your IRS account and retrieve your PIN.
Wait for the Annual Mailing: If you received your IP PIN by mail and lost it, you’ll need to wait until the IRS mails you a new one for the next tax year.
The IRS assigns an IP PIN to taxpayers who are victims of identity theft or who have been selected for additional identity verification. It’s also available to anyone who wants to proactively protect their tax account from potential identity theft.
