How do I get my current Identity Protection PIN to e-file my prior year tax return?

When you are signed up for an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN), the IRS will send you a new PIN each year. You'll need your latest Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) to e-file any prior year return. Don't use an IP PIN from the year of the tax return you are trying to file. You can get your current IP PIN on the IRS Website .
