IRS Identity Protection (IP) PIN
As we all know, identity theft is so rampant that it does not even make the news anymore. Sadly, I’ve had free credit protection for years due to numerous security breaches. That being said, what if your tax identification was stolen? That is a whole other matter.
The IRS has a FREE program (you know free is for me). If you enroll, you get an IP PIN sent to you every year. You will need to provide me with that code before we can electronically file your tax returns. If you do not give me the IP PIN, then your return is rejected. This stops the bad guys from filing a counterfeit or fraudulent return.
To request the IP PIN, you have to sign up for IRS Online Account, Online account for individuals | Internal Revenue Service . Once you have created an account, click on Your Profile. Scroll down until the bottom of the page until you see Identity Protection PIN. Click on the blue button – Enroll in IP PIN.
