If you’ve lost or forgotten your state tax login credentials, follow these steps to recover them:

1. Visit Your State’s Tax Website

Go to your state’s tax agency website.

2. Use the Password or Username Reset Option

Most state tax websites have a “Forgot Password” or “Forgot Username” option. Follow the prompts to reset your credentials.

3. Contact Your State’s Tax Agency

If online recovery isn’t available, call your state’s tax agency for assistance. The latter part of this article contains a table with state’s contact information. Before contacting your state, please be ready to supply this information, along with the following:
