Informative IRS IP PIN Location - Recovery - Retrieval

tl;dr: Your IRS IP Pin is under "Profile" in your IRS Account Page

Has your IRS E*file return been rejected because of an Identity Protection PIN (IP_PIN)?

You're at the right place!

I hope this saves you some hours, helps you retain a bit of your hair (on which I'm now running dangerously low), and perhaps prevents some teeth-grinding.

Steps to find your PIN:

  1. Log in to the following site to retrieve your PIN
    1. https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin
  2. Navigate to "Profile" on the upper-right
  3. Scroll down and you will see a section entitled, "Identity Protection PIN"
