This six-digit PIN is generated by the individual and must be included with their tax return. If a tax return is filed using an individual's social security number without the correct IP PIN, the return will be rejected. The PIN is valid only for the current tax year, and must be generated again each year. To get an IP PIN, individuals can go to the IRS website and navigate to the "Get an Identity Protection pin" page. Alternatively, individuals can mail in a form or make an appointment in person at an IRS office to request the PIN. The video also explains the motivations behind someone filing a tax return using another person's social security number, including attempts to steal a tax refund or simple mistakes. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Merch ⇨ https://teespring.com/stores/thiojoe ⇨ http://Instagram.com/ThioJoe ⇨ http://Twitter.com/ThioJoe ⇨ http://Facebook.com/ThioJoeTV My Gear & Equipment ⇨ https://kit.co/ThioJoe ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
