If I went through the process, then the IRS said that it had already been asigned previously, can the hotline help give it so I can file w2 sooner than later?

It will take 7-10 banking days to get your 10 digit pin from the IRS, jcberg.

You'll have to contact the IRS to retrieve your pin or check the status of your enrollment. Learn more about the E-file 10-digit PIN here.

To file your forms through QiuckBooks, refer to the detailed steps in this link: E-File 940, 941, and 944 tax forms.

Let me share an article about the year-end checklist for QuickBooks Desktop for future reference: Year-end Checklist.

i need help in getting a 10 digit pin number

Hi there, kw111162.

The 10-digit PIN is obtained after enrolling in the IRS e-File Program. If didn't receive the details, please contact the IRS so they can provide the PIN for you.

You can ask for a new one through the IRS website if it's missing or lost. Once your enrollment for E-file services is approved, IRS will provide you a 10-digit PIN that you need to enter every time you e-file Federal Forms in QuickBooks Desktop.

In QuickBooks, make sure you have the most recent payroll update. This is to help prevent any disruptions while processing your E-file/E-pay in QuickBooks.

I have resources here that help guide you when enrolling and filing federal and state payroll taxes successfully in QuickBooks. Visit them each for further information:

In case you'll need assistance in e-filing your tax forms in QuickBooks, don't hesitate to get back on this thread. I'm always here to help you.

I'm stuck in this viscous cycle. I did an upgrade to my Quickbooks and now my 10 digit pin is no longer typed in when I go to electronically submit my 941 for 2nd quarter. I have called the IRS, who tells me they don't supply the pin and that it comes from EFTPS. I called EFTPS and they said the IRS has the 10 digit pin. I called a different number for the IRS who said they don't handle it and gave me back to the original IRS phone number I called. That IRS representative told me Quickbooks gives me the 10 digit pin. This is ridiculous! Every call is an hour or more hold time. How do I get someone to send me the 10 digit pin?

This isn't the experience we want you to have, LizAsher1.

You'll receive a letter containing your 10-digit personal identification number after signing up for E-file services (PIN). If you've never received or have lost it after receiving it, I recommend contacting the IRS E-file services to reset your pin.

Here's how:

Get the IRS number for lost pin through this article: Set up Federal e-file and e-pay in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.
Choose option 1 and then 3 for E-file questions.
Ask for the 10-digit PIN department when you speak with an IRS representative.

After that your pin will be mailed to you within 7-10 business days.

You might need to manually file and pay your payroll taxes while you wait for your pin in order to avoid penalties. Check out this article to guide you through the process: Pay and file payroll taxes and forms manually in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
