In this one-minute moment, Dr. Friday discusses the IRS Personal Identification Number (PIN) required for e-filing if you’ve opted for identity protection or been flagged.
Transcript:
G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.
Personal PIN number: The IRS will give it to you because you’ve either been thought of as having identity theft or you’ve opted in because you’re trying to protect your identity. Nothing wrong with that. But so far, we have about six people that have not provided that number, and so we cannot e-file, which means we cannot file tax returns for those individuals. We don’t have any way of getting it. The IRS will only give it to you. So, my suggestion would be: sign up for IRS.me and get that information if you haven’t already received it in the mail. Again, it’s your personal PIN number – it’s six digits. Call us if you need help, 615-367-0819.
