IRS IP PIN not received - How to file taxes without it?

I've been there, buddy. The IRS can be a real pain sometimes. Have you tried checking your online account? You might be able to retrieve your IP PIN there.

Ugh, the IRS and their stupid PINs 🙄 I swear they make everything more complicated than it needs to be. Why can't they just send everyone their PIN automatically?

Here's what you need to know about IP PINs: 1. Not everyone gets one automatically. They're usually issued if you've been a victim of identity theft or if you live in certain states. 2. If you didn't receive one but need it, you can request it online through the IRS website. 3. To get your IP PIN online: - Go to the IRS website (irs.gov) - Look for the 'Get An IP PIN' tool - You'll need to verify your identity - Once verified, you can view or retrieve your IP PIN 4. If you can't do it online, you can call the IRS, but be prepared for long wait times. 5. Remember, your IP PIN changes every year, so make sure you're using the current one. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I found a method to get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we need a special PIN just to file our taxes? 🤔 Like, isn't our SSN enough?

Pro tip: If you cant get your IP PIN online or by phone, you can file Form 15227 to request one. It takes longer, but it's an option if your stuck.
