Wisconsin – Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on My Tax Account

Updated over 2 weeks ago

This article walks you through how to log into Wisconsin Department of Revenue portal (My Tax Account) and update your Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) settings. Adding Kintsugi’s secure group email allows us to access your Wisconsin tax registration directly—no phone calls or back-and-forth codes needed.


✅ What You’ll Need

  • My Tax Account login page

  • Your Wisconsin’s My Tax Account login credentials (username & password)

  • Kintsugi Mail's Virtual Mail Group ID
    [Go to Configuration > Kintsugi Mail > Virtual Mail Group > Group ID)

  • Just 5–7 minutes of your time


🔐 Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Enter your credentials then click “Log In”

    2. Upon entering your login credentials, you will receive a two-factor authentication code sent to the email address or phone number associated with your account.

      Enter the verification code, then click "Confirm" to continue.

      💡 TIP: Check “Trust this device” — this helps avoid repeated 2FA prompts during the process.

    1. Once logged in, click on your “Manage My Profile” in the top-right corner.

    2. Navigate to Security section then click “Change Two-Step Settings”
