If you have lost or forgotten the IP PIN, there are two ways that IRS provide to retrieve the lost IP PIN. The first method is to visit IRS Get an IP PIN online web tool to retrieve your current IP PIN. There, you will have to register ( if not registered earlier ) and verify your identity in order to use the tool. If you are already registered with the Get an IP Pin tool or registered for any of the following services, you can use those credentials to log in

Other ways to get IP PIN reissued

Other than IP PIN online tool, IRS also provides telephone service for retrieving the lost IP PIN. Call IRS at 800-908-4490, Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. your local time.

Any other way to get an IP PIN??

If for any reason, you cannot access the Get an IP PIN online tool or retrieve using a Phone Call to IRS, you can still get an IP PIN by filing your tax return by paper without your IP PIN.

You’ll need to complete and mail a paper tax return without your IP PIN. IRS will review your return to confirm it’s yours but this may delay any refund you’re due.
