I got a CP01A notice from the IRS
If you got a notice from the IRS, don’t worry. We’ll do our best to help you figure out what to do next.
The notice tells you about the 6-digit Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) and includes instructions on how to use it. This PIN is to help prevent the misuse of your Social Security number.
