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. See Accounting Roles and Permissions for more information.
  • 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.
