Choose your business structure to see features available to you so you know exactly what to expect once you register.
You must register and sign in to Business Tax Account as an individual using your Social Security number or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Once you’ve signed in as an individual, you can register for access to business records.
If you are a sole proprietor who filed a Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business or Schedule F, Profit or Loss from Farming to account for your business income with an employer identification number (EIN), once registered, you will have full access to features and business information.
Your business is not a sole proprietorship if it’s registered with the state as a limited liability company (LLC) and you report your business income on a Schedule C or Schedule F with an EIN. It is a single-member limited liability company (SMLLC). Access is not currently available for SMLLCs that file Schedule C or F.

How we protect your information

- Authentication: To gain access, users must first verify their identity by creating a profile and logging in through a third-party identity authentication provider.
- Authorization: Once a user has been authenticated, the IRS must establish the user’s relationship with the entity and determine what, if any, information they are authorized to access.
