How do I fix e-file reject IND-181-01?

If you received e-file reject code IND-181-01, it's because this year's IP PIN was missing from your return.

An IP PIN and a Self-Select PIN are two different things.

• An IP PIN is a 6-digit number that the IRS gives taxpayers who were victims of tax-related identity theft.
• A Self-Select PIN is a random 5-digit number that you enter as your electronic signature when e-filing your return.

To resolve this, start by finding your 6-digit IP PIN:

• This will be on the CP01A letter you received in December or January for your 2024 taxes. PINs for prior tax years won't work
• If you lost your letter or never received one, retrieve your IP PIN online at the IRS website
• If you're unable to retrieve your IP PIN online, you can have it reissued (allow up to 21 days)
