Make a Payment to the IRS
Pay your tax balance due, estimated payments or part of a payment plan. Penalties and interest will continue to grow until you pay the full balance.
Get an identity protection PIN (IP PIN)
An identity protection PIN (IP PIN) is a six-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a tax return using your Social Security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). The IP PIN is known only to you and the IRS. It helps verify your identity when you file your electronic or paper tax return.
If you don't already have an IP PIN, you may get an IP PIN as a proactive step to protect yourself from tax-related identity theft, even if you are not required to file a tax return.
