The IRS is once again suspending an online offering over security concerns, but this time the tool is itself a security tool.
The agency has suspended its Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) retrieval tool until further notice.
“The IRS is conducting a further review of the application that allows taxpayers to retrieve their IP PINs online and is looking at further strengthening the security features on the tool,” the agency said in a March 7 statement.
