I'm debating whether to opt-in to the IRS IP PIN program. My overall goal is to minimize contact with the IRS (highly empowered agency + under-resourced = a nasty combination ). Acting proactively to greatly reduce the probability of someone successfully submitting a fraudulent tax return in my name might be worth doing. My tax info is more widely exposed than average thanks to business interests. Does anyone participate in this program?
P.S. Google says that the IRS made this program available for opt-in in 2021. Before, the IRS only issued an IP PIN to a taxpayer after identity theft.
