The emailed confirmation code
Reviewed
The first time you sign or pay, 990.tax asks you to confirm your email: “Before you sign and pay, please confirm that your email address is yours. We ask only once.”
- We email a 6-digit code with the subject “Your 990.tax confirmation code”.
- Type it into the box and choose Confirm.
- Signing or payment continues.
Starting and filling in a return needs no code.
Limits
- A code is valid for 10 minutes. After that: “This code has expired. Send a new one.”
- 5 wrong tries use up a code: “Too many wrong codes. Send a new one.”
- Send a new code works once a minute, up to 10 codes a day.
Not in your inbox? Check spam or junk. The code goes to your account’s email address; if that address is wrong, email [email protected].
Questions
Why do you need this?
IRS acceptances, rejections and anything we need from you go to this address. Confirming it once before the first signature or payment makes sure those emails reach you.
