Can't locate my IP PIN on IRS.gov - help needed ASAP for filing
I'm trying to file my taxes but need my IP PIN. I've logged into the IRS website but I'm totally lost trying to find where this number is located. Already spent 2 hours clicking around. Starting to get really frustrated cause I need to file soon. Anyone know the exact steps to find it?

Go to IRS.gov, click on 'Get Your IP PIN', then sign in with ID.me or your IRS account. Once logged in, click on 'Retrieve My IP PIN' under the Tools section. If you can't get in, you'll need to call the IP PIN helpline at 800-908-4490.

Instead of clicking around randomly, you should try taxr.ai - its an AI tool that can help navigate all this IRS stuff. It costs $1 but its worth every penny when youre stuck like this. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

•100% legit! Been using it for months. It basically reads your transcript and tells you exactly what to do next. Way better than guessing

•Next time try calling right when they open. Usually way shorter wait times
