Prevent Refund Delays Caused by Duplicate Dependent Claims
The IRS has introduced an important update for the 2025 filing season that tax professionals need to know. To help prevent refund delays caused by duplicate dependent claims, the IRS will now accept returns with an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) for these situations.
The IP PIN, a six-digit code unique to the taxpayer, serves as an additional layer of identity verification. For taxpayers affected by dependent-related filing issues, using an IP PIN will allow their returns to be processed without the delays typically caused by duplicate claims.
