It’s critically important that your corporate business functions and manufacturing/production operations are separated and that you carefully fi lter and limit internet access to operational networks, identify links between these networks and develop workarounds or manPROTECTION PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER T he IRS has been issuing Identity Protection Personal Identifi cation Numbers (IPPIN’s) since 2011 in order to assist in identifying taxpayers and to accept a tax return for filing. In January of this past year, the IRS opened up this program to all taxpayers if they choose to opt into the program. Prior to January of this year, the IRS would assign an IPPIN to a taxpayer whose identity was stolen. So too often tax preparers would go to e-fi le a tax return only to fi nd out that someone had already fi led a tax return under that taxpayer’s social. Therefore, the electronic fi ling would be rejected. A taxpayer would then have to call the IRS fraud department and the IRS would then issue a IPPIN to the taxpayer to be attached to the paper return that would then need to be fi led. In New Release IR-20219, the IRS announced the program is now available to all taxpayers who can verify their identity by specifi ed procedures. The IRS will mail a CP01A Notice to taxpayers that opt in which contains their 6-digit IPPIN. A Taxpayer can also obtain a IPPIN by using the IRS online tool Get an IPPIN. Each year, taxpayers will receive a CP01A Notice containing a new IPPIN. Taxpayers may opt in by either faxing or mailing Form 15227, Application for an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number, or by using the Get an IPPIN online tool. In order to fi le Form 15227, taxpayers will need: 1. A valid social security number or individual taxpayer identifi cation number (ITIN) 2. Adjusted gross income of $72,000 or less 3. Access to a telephone The IRS will process the form and then call the taxpayer to validate his or her identity. Upon successful validation, the taxpayer will then receive a CP01A Notice with an assigned IPPIN for the next fi ling season. To online method of obtaining a IPPIN is available at www.irs.gov/getanippin. Once you opt in to the IPPIN system, as of right now, you cannot opt out. The IRS expects that taxpayers will be able to opt out beginning in 2022. Data breaches of personal information are still on the rise. Obtaining an IPPIN may provide some taxpayers comfort particularly if their personal information may have been compromised. Think about how many people this past year received notices from Mass Unemployment stating that they applied for unemployment benefits when in fact someone else did using their name and social security number.
