E-file reject error IND-183-01: The Spouse did not enter a valid Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN)

If the taxpayer listed as "spouse" on a joint return has ever received an IP PIN, a CP01A notice, or opted into the IRS's IP PIN pilot program, that person's special 6-digit IP PIN needs to be on the return to validate their identity for e-filing.

Find the spouse's 6-digit IP PIN

• Look at the CP01A letter received in December or January for the 2023 taxes. IP PINs from prior tax years won't work.
• Retrieve the IP PIN online at the IRS's Get an IP PIN site.
• If you're unable to retrieve the IP PIN online, it can be reissued (allow up to 21 days). For more information, read the Retrieve Your Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) page on the IRS website.

Once you have the PIN
