MISPLACED IP (Identity Pin) PIN and PAPER FILING – ANY ISSUES?

[TAXNJ]

Any issues with paper filing along with picture ID, FORM 8948 (OPT POT), IRS letter verifying claim of identity theft?

SCENARIO:

• Client lost or misplaced the letter for the Identity Protection Personal Identification Number

• Client is Deaf and cannot call the IRS unit that handles IP PIN because no IRS - TTY #

• Client expects a refund

Thanks in advance

Any issues with paper filing

The client IP PIN letters that I have say that even a paper filing requires the IP PIN. Can someone help your client with a phone call maybe? The help number on the IP PIN letter is 1-800-908-4490 X245.

Go online

One of my clients went online and got his PIN. He also either neither got the letter or misplaced it. He said it took about 15 minutes and he had the number.

Yeah. Even not being deaf it's how I'd do it.
