Re: E-file rejection

Brainstrom

E-filed a return yesterday that was rejected. The taxpayer apparently needs a PIN, which they say they never received!!!! Since you don't receive a PIN in one day, my question is can I file an extension without a PIN?

It's always these clients that ruin the last day off tax season!! Yippee

I just filed one yesterday without the PIN for the same reason so I'm pretty close to positive it can be done 😀

You can file an extension without an IPPIN. You can also get an IPPIN instantly with an irs.gov account (with the general hurdle being the id.me account).

Is it PIN or an IPPIN?

PIN is super easy, IPPIN takes a few more steps

The PIN is just a number - Pick one - I like zip codes. If you click on the error check it should take you to the pin in you Information Sheet screen

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

80+ y/o client e-file was rejected due to missing identity theft Pin. Swore he never applied for one. Still owns a flip-phone and no computer. I've heard from other practitioners the same horror story. Sometime in the near future I'm going to look to see if there is an opt-out of these Pins.
