Opt-In for E-file PIN

I am able and willing to opt-in for the E-file PIN online. However, I move in one month. I am unsure if I should wait to opt-in until after I move.

1. If I opt-in now online, how long does it take to get my PIN in the mail (presuming the PIN comes in the mail)?

2. If I move first in a month, and then opt-in, do I need to file a 8822 change of address first?

Thanks,

Matt

The IP Pin is mailed in January.

Do not signup unless you have evidence of actual serious identity theft.

As afar as I can see, once on the list, there is no way off it.

Once you move you should file the 8822 ASAP so any mail from the IRS can find you. Also put in a change of address with the post office.

But should I opt-in to the e-file PIN before or after I move? I move 10/21/2020. If I file Form 8822 on 10/21/2020, then how long do I wait to file the e-file PIN? I'd like to use the e-file PIN for TY 2020.
