Hello, @lPastiu.
I appreciate you joining the thread to share your concern about the 10-digit PIN when filing your federal tax forms.
Please know that once you enroll in the IRS e-file program, you'll get your e-file PIN by mail once your agency accepts it. Thus, it will show the status Accepted. If the IRS rejected or didn’t receive your enrollment, you can follow the steps below.
First, set up your federal filing method. I'll show you how:
- From the Employees menu, select Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s. Then click Process Payroll Forms.
- Go to the Other Activities list, and select Manage Filing Methods.
- Choose Filing Methods. Select a federal form (Federal 941/944/943 or Federal Form 940), then select Edit.
- Under “Select how you want to file the Form…”, select Filing As Responsible Individual (Owner/Partner/Corporate Officer) for a single FEIN.
- Click E-file, then select Finish.
Once done, enroll in the IRS e-file program. Here's how:
- Under the Filing Methods screen, select Enrollments.
- Click IRS, then select Edit.
- Follow the on-screen instructions, verify your EIN, and enter your company’s legal name and address. Then select Next.
- Fill in the name, job title, email address, and phone number of the person the IRS can contact about your enrollment and payroll tax forms. Select Next.
- This person must be associated with your company, not a third-party provider or accountant.
- Select Send Information.
