Have you verified with client that it's correct? Waste of time to try previous year's PIN.

Yes, had them send me the printout. They don't even recall getting an IPN for 2023 so I've only used the IPN they just obtained online. They sent me a printout so I know it's correct.

Have your clients check this out - there have been IPIN problems in the past.

@cpn

I suggest checking the IRS website for the correct address for mailing:

1) it depends on the state

2) it may have changed recently (the addresses for payments changed mid-summer.

You need to use the IPPIN that was issued to the client in Jan 2024 on ANY returns that are EFiled in 2024..if youre trying to use the IPPIN that was issued in 2023, youre too late to use that, you need the most current one.

If youve double checked that the client is giving you the most recent one and theres no other people on the return that have IPPIns, you may be stuck filing by paper.

I have the same issue. THey just got a new IPIN for 2024 taxes. Tried for 2023 that kept rejecting stating they needed an IPIN. Curious there has been scams because the spouse getting the reject doesn't recall ever getting or asking for an IPIN.

IPPINs are issued for a calendar year, ANY return filed in that calendar year uses that same IPPIN.

The client should log into their IRS online account and retrieve the PIN, Ive heard theres even a new button to Opt-Out of the IPPIN program.
