How to find a PIN

[Randall]

Is there a quick way to find someone's PIN number held by IRS.  A client's return has been rejected.  First with no PIN, then with a PIN number he gave me.

preparers don't have access to someone's IP PIN; the taxpayer will have to retrieve.  Even with an 8821, the IP PIN is not on a transcript and, unlike other IRS correspondence, you're not copied on the January IP PIN letter.
