Navigating the IRS CP01A Notice: A Simplified Guide
Hello, readers! Today, we’re going to demystify another IRS notice - the CP01A. As always, we at Lamarre Law Group, P.A. are here to make complex tax issues simple for you.
What is a CP01A Notice?
A CP01A notice is sent by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to taxpayers who have been assigned an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN). This IP PIN is a unique 6-digit number that helps prevent unauthorized individuals from filing a federal tax return using your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
Why Did I Receive a CP01A Notice?
If you’ve been a victim of identity theft and reported it to the IRS, they may assign you an IP PIN as an additional layer of protection. The CP01A notice includes instructions on how to use this IP PIN when filing your federal tax return.
How Does the CP01A Notice Protect Me?
The IP PIN serves as a protective measure to prevent future fraud. When you file your tax return, you must include this 6-digit IP PIN. This helps the IRS verify your identity and prevent fraudulent tax returns from being processed.
What Should I Do After Receiving a CP01A Notice?
After receiving a CP01A notice, you don’t need to take any specific action other than using the IP PIN when filing your tax return. However, if you lose your IP PIN or didn’t receive your CP01A Notice with your new IP PIN, you can retrieve it online or have it reissued by phone.
