How many years does the IRS send IP PINS once they start?

 Do they continue indefinitely? This will be our second or third year, if one comes. I can't verify with IRS until December/tax time if we should expect one.

Q26: Will each person who reported to the IRS they’re the victim of identity theft be issued an IP PIN?

A26: If you received an IRS issued notice or letter in the last 12 months saying your tax account is resolved, an identity theft indicator has been placed on your account. If you didn't receive an IP PIN, you may need to obtain your IP PIN prior to filing.
