No. You can not op-out of this IRS issues the pin every year until it is considered no longer necessary. Here is what the IRS says about filing without your pin.
Per the IRS - If you file your return without your IRS assigned IP PIN:
- We’ll reject your electronic return, and you won't be able to e-file
- We’ll subject your paper return to additional screenings to validate your identity, delaying any refund you may be due
Below are steps for retrieving a pin online:
You may use our Get an IP PIN online tool to retrieve your current IP PIN. If you don’t already have an account on IRS.gov, you will be asked to register for an account and validate your identity.
If you previously created an online account and obtained an IP PIN, access Get an IP PIN and log in to your account. You may be required to verify your identity again due to our increased account security.
