HOW TO GET CP01A

The IRS issues you a CP01A each year - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/understanding-your-cp01a-notice

 

Go to this IRS website to retrieve your 6 digit Identity Protection PIN - https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin

HOW TO GET CP01A

You may use your online account to retrieve your current IP PIN.    Your IP PIN is available through your “Profile” page.   If you don’t already have an account on IRS.gov, you will be asked to create an account and validate your identity.


Or:

In the U.S. call 800-908-4490, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time (Alaska and Hawaii follow Pacific Time).

International users call 267-941-1000 (not toll free) between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. Eastern time.

 

Note: If you can verify your identity with a phone assistor, your IP PIN will be mailed within 21 days to the address on file with the IRS.

Your IP PIN cannot be reissued by mail if:

 

  • You opted into the IP PIN program online after 2019.
  • It’s after October 14 and you haven’t filed your current or prior year Forms 1040 or 1040-SS.

If your IP PIN cannot be reissued and you cannot create or access an online account, mail a paper tax return without your IP PIN. We’ll review your return to confirm you filed it, but this may delay your refund.
