国税局 IRS 发布 IR-2026-127：提醒纳税人保护在线账户凭据并申领 IP PIN 防税务身份盗窃
美国国税局（IRS）10 月 22 日发布编号 IR-2026-127 的新闻稿，提醒纳税人防范税务相关身份盗窃，具体做法是保护好 IRS 在线账户的登录凭据，并申领身份保护 PIN（IP PIN）。
国税局局长 Frank J. Bisignano 说：「保护敏感财务信息，对于防止未经授权者访问机密税务信息和 IRS 在线服务至关重要。纳税人保护好在线账户凭据并申领 IP PIN，可以帮助阻止税务相关身份盗窃，更有信心地提交税表，并知道自己已尽力保护自己免受不法分子侵害。」
IP PIN 是一个六位数字，可以防止他人冒用纳税人的社会安全号码（SSN）或个人纳税人识别号码（ITIN）提交联邦税表。该号码只有纳税人与 IRS 知道；尚未申领的纳税人可以主动申领作为预防措施，即使本人没有联邦报税义务，也可以申领。
IRS 表示，计划在 2027 年初尽早报税的纳税人，应在在线系统于 11 月中旬因年度维护下线之前申领 IP PIN；该系统一般在 1 月中旬重新开放。IRS 同时提醒，IP PIN 只应透露给准备和提交联邦税表时可信赖的税务专业人士，IRS 永远不会通过电话、电子邮件、短信或社交媒体向纳税人索取 IP PIN。
IRS Issues IR-2026-127: Taxpayers Urged to Protect Online Account Credentials and Get an IP PIN Against Tax Identity Theft
The Internal Revenue Service on Oct. 22 issued news release IR-2026-127, reminding taxpayers to protect their information from tax-related identity theft by safeguarding their IRS online-account credentials and obtaining an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN).
"Protecting sensitive financial information is essential to preventing unauthorized users from accessing confidential tax information and IRS online services," said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. "By safeguarding their online account credentials and obtaining an IP PIN, taxpayers can help stop tax-related identity theft, file their tax return with greater confidence, and know they have done what they can to protect themselves from bad actors."
An IP PIN is a six-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a federal tax return using another taxpayer's Social Security number or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). The IP PIN is known only to the taxpayer and the IRS. Taxpayers who do not already have one may request an IP PIN as a proactive step, and taxpayers can obtain one even if they are not required to file a federal tax return.
Taxpayers who plan to file early in 2027 should request an IP PIN before the online system becomes unavailable for annual maintenance in mid-November, the IRS said; the system is generally available again beginning in mid-January. Taxpayers should protect their IP PIN and disclose it only to a trusted tax professional when ready to prepare and submit their federal return, and the IRS will never call, email, text, or contact taxpayers through social media to request their IP PIN.
