@VolvoGirl a PIN would still have value even if it was paper filed.
if a PIN was issued and it was not indicated on the paper return, it would still stop the IRS from issuing a refund until they understood why the PIN was not used. Or alternatively, process the return as normal with the PIN provided.
(Look to the VERY RIGHT of the 3rd party designee section of the 1040 - that is where the PIN is to be placed on a paper filed return)
