Solution:
This error occurs when the spouse’s IP PIN is missing, invalid, or incomplete. Follow these steps to fix the issue:
Steps to Fix:
Verify the Spouse's IP PIN:
The IRS issues a 6-digit IP PIN for individuals who are at risk of identity theft or are required to use one. Make sure the spouse's IP PIN is:
Issued for the current tax year.
Entered correctly without any typos.
The IP PIN can be found in the following:
CP01A Notice: Sent annually by the IRS to individuals assigned an IP PIN.
IRS Online Account: The spouse can log in to their IRS account to retrieve the IP PIN.
Retrieve the IP PIN if Missing:
If the spouse does not have the IP PIN or cannot locate it:
Use the IRS Get an IP PIN tool to retrieve or request the IP PIN.
If retrieval online is not possible, contact the IRS Identity Protection line for assistance.
Enter the Correct IP PIN:
Go to the section in your tax preparation software where the IP PIN is entered.
Input the 6-digit IP PIN for the spouse in the designated field.
Resubmit the Return:
After entering the correct IP PIN, save your return and retransmit it.
Additional Notes:
An IP PIN is required for taxpayers and their spouses who are assigned one to prevent identity theft and fraudulent filings.
Lost or Misplaced IP PIN: The spouse can use the IRS online tool to retrieve it or apply for a new one if necessary.
Refile the Return:
After entering the valid IP PIN, save and refile the return. This should resolve the error.
