How to open a tax office. Open your account, forgot your password, change the primary password. Registration and entrance to your personal account using the portal

Paying taxes is the responsibility of not only organizations, but also individuals. Any citizen of Russia can register with the tax office and create a personal account of an individual. However, the "Register" button is not there. A special procedure for creating an account is needed to maintain the protection of customer data, because information on tax deductions is confidential.

Creation of a personal account in a department of the Federal Tax Service

Individuals can personally contact the tax office to create an account on the website lkfl.nalog.ru/lk/. A visit to the Federal Tax Service takes place by appointment. At the reception, the citizen receives a registration card. This is a document that contains:

  • date of issue of the registration card (creation of a personal account);
  • tax code where the card is issued;
  • the name of the individual to whom the service is provided;
  • login and password from the personal account;
  • small memo.

Note! The TIN is usually used as a login, and the password is generated from random characters.

The required data will be added to your account within 3 days. However, it is recommended that you activate your credentials within an hour after visiting the tax inspector.

What documents do I need?

Citizens have the right to make a personal account in the tax office not only at the address to which they are attached in accordance with the registration. You can contact any branch to gain access to your account. This will require:

  • passport;
  • TIN - for citizens who apply not at the place of registration;
  • a power of attorney certified by a notary - for representatives;
  • birth or adoption certificate - for parents who register an account for a child under 14 years old.

Tax officials have the right to ask for additional documents to verify their identity. Usually, an additional document is requested at the offices of the Federal Tax Service not at the place of registration.

Data recovery

In addition to the "Register" button, there is no password recovery field on the FTS website. In such cases, a citizen is required to go to the nearest branch of the Federal Tax Service for data recovery. It is not necessary to go to the branch where the registration card was issued. The list of documents for this is the same as for the initial application.

Reference! Upon initial contact, an individual receives a combination of letters, numbers and other symbols with a limited period of validity. In accordance with safety rules, you can use it no longer than a month from the date of registration.

The temporary cipher is replaced before the expiration date. The new code will be permanent, it does not need to be changed after a month or a year. But if the user did not manage to change the temporary combination, he will need to contact the Federal Tax Service, where the data will be restored and a new temporary code will be issued.
For the convenience of users, there is right to online restoration of access, but take care of its observance in advance. In the profile settings, it is recommended to put a corresponding mark in the field “Password recovery via e-mail”. The following are indicated:

  • Email;
  • mobile phone;
  • codeword.

Mail and phone must be confirmed. If you lose access to your mail or phone, online data recovery will not be available. It is also necessary to personally contact the Federal Tax Service if the user indicates the wrong code word 3 times.
To restore, you need to click "Restore password by e-mail" under the login block. Within a few minutes, an email with instructions will be sent to the confirmed email address.

Registration with electronic signature

Electronic digital signature enables online registration of a taxpayer profile. Before registering a personal account at the tax office, you must purchase a digital signature through the appropriate accreditation centers. It will be formed and transferred to the citizen:

  • on a USB flash drive;
  • on CD.

Also, the client has the right to store the digital signature on the hard drive of a computer or laptop. To create a personal account, you need to go to the tab "Login / registration using an electronic signature key" -> "Verification of compliance with technical conditions".
After the PC has been checked for its technical characteristics, you must select the "Start working with the system" item and fill out an application. The applicant's personal data is automatically filled in based on the information that is encrypted in the electronic signature. Some fields are filled in manually. These are information that changes frequently:

  • phone number;
  • Email.

During the registration process, the user is asked to provide a password to enter the taxpayer account.

Technical requirements

The entrance to the personal account of the tax authority and registration in the personal account are carried out with a digital signature. You will need the media itself, which is inserted into the USB connector before the citizen starts working with the system. It is also necessary to fulfill the technical requirements:

  • operating system - Windows XP SP3 or higher;
  • browser - Internet Explorer 8 or higher;
  • cryptographic utility - Crypto PRO version CSP 3.6 and higher.

Additionally, you will need drivers to work with electronic signature, as well as install a root certificate. Links to all resources, except for the operating system, are located on the page for logging into the taxpayer account by electronic signature.

Important! Failure to comply with at least one of the points leads to an automatic failure of the system.

Data recovery

The ability to authorize by digital signature is very convenient. However, such a key has an expiration date. If it is not permanently renewed, it will become invalid, which means that it will not be possible to use it for authorization.
But in such a case, account owners set a permanent password. If the user has forgotten it and cannot use the electronic signature, he can restore access when visiting any branch of the Federal Tax Service. At the department, he will receive a registration card with a temporary combination to enter.

Login according to ESIA

ESIA is a unified identification and authentication system. For most users, it is known thanks to the "Gosuslugi" portal. Credentials from the portal are used to create a profile on the pages of most government organizations. The instruction on how to get access to the personal tax office consists of only 2 steps:

  • go to the tab "Login / registration using an account on the State Services website";
  • specify the login (or SNILS) and password of the ESIA.

If a citizen does not have an ESIA account, one can create one. The creation of a profile in the system consists of several stages. Among which are not only the indication of information from the passport, but also the confirmation of the profile. On the Gosuslugi portal, the account is confirmed by a registered letter to the Russian Post, an electronic signature or a personal visit to the User Service Center. However, to create a profile on the website of the tax service, the ESIA profile cannot be confirmed by registered mail.

The nuances of registration and authorization through the ESIA

During the initial authorization through the ESIA, a citizen can set a separate code for the account of the tax service website. In the future, the login and password from the State Services or specified in the FTS system can be used. The only difference is which login tab will be used.

When creating a separate combination for the FTS website, a key is compiled:

  • of 7 or more characters;
  • without spaces;
  • using at least 1 digit or 2 letters;
  • only from Latin letters;
  • using uppercase and lowercase letters;
  • with the obligatory addition of an additional symbol, for example, @) *.

Attention! Even if the initial registration was carried out using a registration card, in the future, the user can log in using the data of the Unified identification and authentication system.

Password recovery

Data recovery of ESIA takes place through an online form. Under the block for authorization, the "Forgot password" button is pressed. Then a login is entered, which can be:

  • phone number;
  • E-mail address;
  • SNILS.

Next, the code word is indicated, if it was approved when creating the profile, and a one-time code is sent to the mobile phone number or mail. His indicate in the corresponding column, and in the lower lines write a new password for entering.

Profile functionality check

Let's consider the procedure for connecting a taxpayer's personal account, what documents must be filled out to connect, the terms of connection and the possibilities that the taxpayer's personal account gives.

- download programs for filling;

- to track the status of a desk audit of tax declarations in the form of 3-NDFL;

- to monitor the state of settlements with the budget;

- to receive up-to-date information about property objects and vehicles, about the amounts accrued and paid, about the presence of overpayments, about tax arrears to the budget;

- get advice from tax authorities without a personal visit to the tax office.

The procedure for connecting a personal account

The most optimal and fastest option.

1. We go to the website of the tax inspection https://lk2.service.nalog.ru/lk/

2. We fill out an online application (https://lk2.service.nalog.ru/lk/lkn-reg.pdf) for connecting a personal account. Fields with an asterisk are required.

After filling out the application, click on apply.

A window will appear Your application has been successfully registered... Push print the statement.

We sign the application, set the current date. The head of the IFTS need not fill out.

If it is not possible to print the application, then it can be filled out at the tax office.

3. Select the nearest tax office. The list and addresses can be found on the website of the tax inspectorate (https://nalog.ru/rn77/apply_fts/#t1).

If you apply to the tax office at the place of registration, then you only need an identity document, for example, a passport.

When contacting other inspectorates, you must have an identity document and an original or a copy of the certificate of registration of an individual.

4. Based on your application, the tax office will generate a registration card on two sheets. Marvelous! The process of forming and issuing a registration card took about 5 minutes.

5. The registration card contains identification data for entering the Service at https://lk2.service.nalog.ru/lk/

- username;

- the primary user password, which must be changed at the first login.

6. The account is activated the next day after receiving the registration card.

This completes the connection to the taxpayer's personal account. Now you can imagine.

On the official website of the tax office there are 2 services with which you can open an individual entrepreneur online. This phrase sounds quite promising, however, let's not jump to conclusions and deal with these programs in more detail.

Service 1. Submission of an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur on the website of the tax

With this service, you can only apply for. All other documents for opening an individual entrepreneur you will have to draw up separately and refer in paper form to the territorial IFTS.

Why use this service if you still have to go to the tax office?

This method can save time and save the entrepreneur from one extra trip to the IFTS:

  1. You are applying on the tax office website.
  2. After 3 working days (if everything was filled out correctly), bring the rest of the documents in person with your passport.
  3. After some time on the same day, you get ready-made.

But right away be ready to the fact that if at the stage of filing an application you make any mistakes or your address of residence turns out to be difficult (for example, it will contain both the building and the building) then the tax authorities will refuse to consider the application and you will lose even more time in comparison with in the usual way of registering an individual entrepreneur.

At the same time, you should not expect help from the technical support of the Federal Tax Service, because most of their employees do not really understand how all these online services should work.

After that, add a checkbox that confirms your consent to the processing of personal data and click the link with the statement on form R21001:

Service 2. Submission of documents for registration of an individual entrepreneur on the website of the tax
