Password Support

Password | Businesses

If your entity is listed as a business, then the password will be the first 4 letters of your business name (in lowercase), plus the last 4 digits of your Employer Identification Number (EIN).

• If the Business Name has any special characters or the first word is less than 4 characters, please skip over the '&' or special character and add letters from the next word until you have 4 characters.
• Example:  Company is A&B Characters, last 4 of EIN is 1234. Password would be:  abch1234

Password | Sole Proprietor

1. If your entity is under your personal name, then the password will be the first 4 letters of your first name (in lowercase), plus the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number, or the first 4 letters of your last name and the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. All letters will be lowercase.
   • If your first name has fewer than 4 characters, add a character from the last name until you have 4.
   • Example: Individual is Jo Black, last 4 of SSN is 1234. Password would be: jobl1234
2. Whatever the name is listed at the beginning of the email after "Dear........" will be what was filed for you.

Please note the following example:

Dear Samantha Jones,

• The password would be sama plus the last 4 digits of her SSN. For this example, 3377. The complete password is sama3377
• If it had said Dear Jones, Samantha, then the password is jone3377

The password is solely based on how your information was entered into the Tax1099 system.

Troubleshooting the password: 

• Make sure any letters are lower case.
• Look at the email and see who it was addressed to:  "Dear xxxxxxx" - use the first 4 letters that come after 'Dear'...ignore spaces and special characters
• If you try the first 4 letters of your first name and the last 4 digits of your SSN and this does not work, then try the first 4 letters of your last name and the last 4 digits of your SSN
• If they listed your business name in the email and you enter the first 4 of letters of your business name and the last 4 digits of your EIN and this does not work, then try the first 4 letters of your business name and the last 4 digits of your SSN.   The payer could have filed the wrong number. If you try ALL of these combinations and you can't access the form, there is a good chance that the filer entered your information incorrectly.
