Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN)
An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is a six-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a tax return using your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
If you have obtained an IP PIN in the past, you will need to log into the “Get an IP PIN Tool” each year to retrieve your current IP PIN as a new number is generated annually. You will need an ID.me account to access this information (see below).
Identity verification for IRS applications
For certain IRS applications, you may need to create an ID.me account to provide authentication and identity verification.
Where’s my refund?
You can check the status of your current tax year income tax refund 24 hours after e-filing. Past years electronic filings may take 3 or 4 days before the status is available. If you filed a paper return, please allow 4 weeks before checking your status.
Online payments to taxing authorities
If you prefer to make payments electronically, instead of via check, many taxing authorities offer online payment options. For any additional states or localities not listed below, we suggest doing a search online for “(name of state or locality) online tax payments.”.
Note: If this is your first year filing in a state, you will be unable to make online payments for the first year.
