Why is my IP PIN for CY 2026 the same number as for CY 2025?

I got my CY 2026 IP PIN issued today (January 6th) and it is the same number I received for CY 2025.

Has anyone else encountered this glitch?

If you are referring to a 6-digit IP PIN, that was issued by the IRS.  TurboTax has nothing to do with that number--ask the IRS.

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

Yes, I am and I know that it's an IRS program.

I haven't been successful in speaking to a live IRS agent in years. The IRS voice response system is clearly designed to eliminate the need for live agents. Even called a local IRS office routes the call to the same system.

I asked here hoping that someone else has already broken the code on why this glitch is occurring and had discovered a solution.

Looks like someone at the IRS woke up and took the IP PIN webpage offline again.
