- A3: The IP PIN acts as an authentication number to validate the
correct owner of the SSN(s) or ITIN(s) listed on your tax return.

- If an IP PIN isn't entered correctly, we'll reject the return and
you'll need to enter the correct IP PIN to e-file it again.
Paper return:
- If you have an IP PIN, you're the primary and/or secondary
taxpayer, and you fail to enter your IP PIN correctly, your return
will take longer to process while we validate the information.
