Overview
If you have been issued an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) by the IRS or Wisconsin Department of Revenue; you must include it on your Wisconsin state return. The WI – IP PIN form allows you to securely provide this information during your filing process.
What is an IP PIN?
An IP PIN is a six-digit number issued to eligible taxpayers to help prevent fraudulent use of their Social Security Number (SSN) on tax returns.
- The IP PIN is used to verify your identity when filing electronically.
- Without the correct IP PIN, your return may be rejected or delayed.
- Both the Taxpayer and Spouse (if filing jointly) may need to provide their individual IP PINs.
Who Should Include This Form?
You should complete the WI – IP PIN form if:
- You received an IRS CP01A Notice containing your annual IP PIN.
- You were issued a Wisconsin Department of Revenue IP PIN for state filing security.
- You are filing jointly, and either you or your spouse has been assigned an IP PIN.
