Q23. Can I opt-out of the IP PIN program? (updated Dec. 20, 2024)
A23. Yes, if you voluntarily joined the IP PIN program and have not been a victim of tax-related identity theft, then you may opt-out of the IP PIN program. To find out if you are eligible to opt-out, please log into your online account. If you enrolled into the program though the one-time enrollment option, you will be opted out of the program at the end of the calendar year.

OPTION # 2 - RETRIEVE YOUR CURRENT IP PIN
If your return was rejected for the IP PIN, try these steps.
If you had previously created an online account and obtained an IP PIN,
Log in to ID.me until you get to the welcome page for IDme + IRS.
You may need to verify your identity again due to extended security.
Then use IRS online tool Get an IP PIN (Blue Button) to retrieve your current IP PIN.
No need to have it mailed, this service runs during tax time only I believe.
Once you have your current IP PIN go back to Turbotax and resubmit your rejected tax return.
If you do not yet have an account on IRS.gov, you will be asked to sign up for an account
and validate your identity. Register below the login part of ID.me then do the online tool above.
If you can't recover your IP PIN online, you can call [phone number removed]
(( unfortunately Turbotax removed the 1 800 I included )) Its on the How to get your IP PIN reissued
A service representative will verify your identity and mail your IP PIN to the address that appears on our files within 21 days.
