Set up E-Filing

Set up your e-file account information with our trusted partner Nelco.

  • You must have accounting administrator permissions to perform this task.
Setting up an e-file account with Nelco is free. You only need to pay when you select how you want to e-file and if you want Nelco to print and mail tax forms for you. Visit Nelco's FAQ to see answers to questions that may affect you.
Tip: If a new employee needs access to e-filing information, we recommend that they use an existing login so filing history remains intact. If they create a separate account, they will not be able to view any previous history.
  1. In the top-left corner, click your ministry hub then Accounting. Then click Period End > Tax Forms.
  2. On the E-File Settings tab, click Get Started.
  3. Enter your first and last name, email address, and password.
  4. Click Create Account.

Register or Enter Your 941 Signature PIN

Register for a 941 signature PIN, or enter the number mailed to you by the IRS.

  • You must have accounting administrator permissions to perform this task.
  • You must have a Nelco account.

You must register for a PIN to be eligible to transmit 941s electronically. This could take up to 45 days to process, so be sure to register ahead of time.

Already have a signature PIN? Enter the information that was mailed to you by the IRS instead of registering for a new PIN.
