Tax Return Rejected - Need IP PIN but Never Had One Before - What Now?
My tax return just got rejected because it says I need an IP PIN but I've never had one before in my life. Super confused because I've been filing normally for years. Anyone know what to do about this?

This is actually becoming more common. The IRS is expanding their Identity Protection PIN program. You'll need to create an ID.me account and get your IP PIN through the IRS website. If you can't verify online, you'll have to call the IRS Identity Verification hotline at 800-830-5084 or make an appointment at a local IRS office.

Hey guys instead of playing detective with the IRS website, I started using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs a buck but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to do next. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•interesting... how exactly does it work? does it just read transcripts or what?

•it does way more than just read transcripts! It actually analyzes everything and gives you step-by-step instructions. It caught stuff I totally missed
