Registering with our office:

PLEASE NOTE: If you’ve previously filed a return with our office or have received a delinquent filing notice or bill from us, you are already registered and will only need to set up your PIN.

• To utilize the E-File/E-Pay System, you will first need to register with our office so that you may set up a PIN. To access the online system, you will need your social security number and then you will assign your own PIN. If you are a new filer, you may need to contact the Tax Department to setup or update your account. Please contact the Tax Department with questions.

Setting up a PIN:

PLEASE NOTE: If you set up a PIN in a prior year, that PIN is no longer valid.  You will need to create a new PIN every year.

• Input your social security number (or the primary’s social security number in the case of a joint account) and create a PIN number by clicking on the “Don’t have a PIN?” link next to the log in screen’s PIN field.
• Make sure that you’ve updated your address with our office, as your current house number is required when setting up your new PIN.
• The PIN is required to be a combination of letters and numbers (anywhere from 4 to 10 characters). Any letters that are part of your PIN are case sensitive.
• You will receive confirmation of your PIN’s creation on the log in page.

Once you’ve created your PIN and logged into our system, you may make a payment and/or check your estimates and prior year credits.
