I am required to use a 10 digit PIN to file IRS tax form

Apparently I have one but cannot find/remember it

EFTPS says to call the IRS

The IRS doesn't answer because the government is closed (!?!)

I submit for a new one but got rejected because I already have one

Can someone PLEASE help me and make this madness STOP

    This may be obvious to most people but I didn't think about it.  If you have this problem you probably aren't going to be able to sort it out before you need to send in your forms to the IRS, but you can still mail them.  Just go in single user mode and change your filing method to print and mail then print them up and send them in following the instructions.

    We’re glad to have you here in the Community, 118229. Let me provide details about retrieving your 10-digit PIN for e-filing in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

     

    In order to receive your new 10-digit PIN promptly, it's best to contact the IRS directly. They are the only ones who can issue the PIN if it's lost or missing, so reaching out to them will help you regain access and keep your tax filing on track.

     

    Here’s how you can proceed:

     

    1. Dial 866.255.0654
    2. Choose option 1, then 3 for E-file questions.
    3. When connected to an IRS agent, request your E-file 10-digit PIN.

     

    Additionally, you can read this article to learn more about e-filing and paying your payroll taxes in QBDT: Setting up Federal e-file and e-pay.

     

    Once you’ve obtained your PIN from the IRS, you can resume e-filing and paying your payroll taxes. If the timing doesn’t align with your deadlines, you can choose to pay and file them manually.
