The IRS process for assisting victims selecting Section B, Box 1 below is explained at irs.gov/victimassistance.

Get an IP PIN: We encourage everyone to opt-in to the Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) program. If you don’t have an IP PIN, you can get one by going to irs.gov/ippin.

If unable to do so online, you may schedule an appointment at your closest Taxpayer Assistance Center by calling (844-545-5640). Or, if eligible, you may use IRS Form 15227 to apply for an IP PIN by mail or FAX, also available by going to irs.gov/ippin.

Submit this completed and signed form to the IRS via Mail or FAX to specialized IRS processing areas dedicated to assist you.

In Section C of this form, be sure to include the Social Security Number in the ‘Taxpayer Identification Number’ field.
