(Bob Hague, Wisconsin Radio Network) As the tax season approaches, the IRS is encouraging you to sign up for an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number.

According to Bob Hague with Wisconsin Radio Network, Spokesperson Christopher Miller says, it’s an extra layer of security that helps prevents people from filing a tax return using your name and Social Security number and then stealing your refund.

Miller says people should sign up for a PIN by November 23rd so they can get it in time for tax season. More information is available online at irs.gov.
