Since it went so smoothly we decided to also set up an account for my wife. I did not unfreeze my credit bureau file and, as poster go140point6 pointed out, there is a statement about authorizing them to do a soft pull on the file if it is locked. This was not an option last time due to Covid.
#IRS GOV GET AN IPIN ACTIVATION CODE#
As with my past attempt to get a PIN, it couldn't verify my mobile phone number but at least this time they will send me the activation code in paper mail.

I went through the procedure to set up an account. Note that if you use their "Print" button it does not print the taxpayer's name (but doing a Ctrl-P from Chrome browser does). "Congratulations, your 2021 Identity Protection PIN is: xxxx" It then presented me with my "2021" PIN letter. Then I went to this site in the same browser but new tab:Īnd clicked on the "Get an IP PIN" button followed by the "Continue" button There are no messages in my "Message Center" and no PIN related links or notices or buttons. I too have not yet received any IRS PIN via USPS for this year (and to be honest can not recall ever getting one sent via mail last year which was the first year I signed up - I only had a web-printout titled "Your 2019 Identity Protection PIN:xxxx"Īnd I too see the notice about ".limited service availability.". Regarding availability of PIN for those that already are signed up:

Having the account made it very quick and easy for me to get the pin and since it’s an annual pin, why not make it easy ? That said, not sire why one would not want an acct. I do not see how you can NOW get a pin without acct, unless there is some other entry point. It is from there I was able to get a pin for me but not wife (because wife’s phone was in my name). The get pin button NOW leads you to the login/create acct page. Yes I hit same wall of cell phone, but this WAS part of the ira acct setup process.

With an account you can view and download your tax return transcripts on demand. Just wondering what the advantage/usefulness is to have the account, separate from the PIN issue. So it appears you can apply for the PIN with or without having an IRS account. But I did all this without having first set up an IRS account. At the time, they were not following up by sending the PIN in paper mail due to Covid. When I tried to get a PIN around June last year, I had taken the freeze off of my credit bureau file and got through all the tough questions but the process failed on the last step involving my cell phone number. It brings you to the login or create account page. The link I gave above has a big blue button “Get pin”. This is getting so confusing to me.You can apply for a PIN without first having an IRS account, right? I created an account years ago for myself but just went to this site and get the 2020 pin. You need to apply using that account but having the account does not automatically get you the pin. If you sign up for an IRS account, do you automatically get a PIN or do you have to separately apply for one? i even went to check her accounts to make sure she has her freezes in place. not, hey lift your freeze, but just "don't sweat it, we got this". so maybe the order of setting up the Fi account made her technically the primary, but what really threw me for a loop was the credit check without lifting the freeze.ĭid anyone else notice the disclaimer on that page, something like "if you have a freeze, you authorize us to bypass it to do a soft credit check"? put in her info and phone and got her account immediately, her phone number was valid. My wife signed up tonight WITHOUT unfreezing her credit. this is with Google Fi, but i think my wife might actually be considered the primary on the account because of the order we signed up with Fi and then created a family plan. like others, got to the mobile phone and got told it wasn't valid. i signed myself up earlier today after unfreezing my credit report.
