An IP PIN is a six-digit number assigned to eligible taxpayers that helps prevent the misuse of their Social Security number on fraudulent federal income tax returns.

A new IP PIN is issued to the taxpayer every year.

To obtain your IP PIN you should go to: Get An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN).
