If your private information has been stolen or compromised, you can request an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) from the IRS (and we recommend that you do so) as soon as you become aware that your information has been stolen. This pin will be required in order to process your tax return from that point forward and will assist in protecting your identity with the IRS. The website with instructions on how to request an IP PIN is as follows: https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin.
