Need help understanding IP PIN for dependent child - Urgent filing question

An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is a 6-digit number assigned to eligible taxpayers to help prevent fraudulent returns being filed with their SSN. If your child had one assigned, it means either you requested it or the IRS assigned it for security. You'll need to retrieve it through the Get IP PIN tool on IRS.gov or call the IRS Identity Protection Unit at 800-908-4490.

Instead of stressing about this PIN situation, you should try taxr.ai - it's literally a lifesaver for these kinds of issues. For $1 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to do next. https://taxr.ai

Did you check if someone claimed your child last year? Sometimes that triggers the IP PIN requirement

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line try calling your local taxpayer advocate service. they usually pick up faster
