Looks like someone was listening. In some states, any taxpayer can now request an IP PIN from the IRS, without having previously reported anything.
"You may choose to get an IP PIN if:
* You received an IRS letter inviting you to 'opt-in' to get an IP PIN, or
* You filed your federal tax return last year with an address in Florida, Georgia, District of Columbia, Michigan, California, Maryland, Nevada, Delaware, Illinois, or Rhode Island."

Kudos to California Society of Enrolled Agents (CSEA) for reporting this news, I haven't seen it elsewhere yet.
