Pennsylvania Credentials for Importing Registration

How to locate the state-issued credentials required for importing your Pennsylvania registration.
Updated 2 days ago

To import your existing Pennsylvania sales tax registration into Kintsugi, you'll need to provide a few details issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue when you registered your business. Pennsylvania manages its tax accounts through myPATH (my Pennsylvania Tax Hub), the state's online portal for filing, paying, and managing business taxes. Once imported, Kintsugi can manage your Pennsylvania sales tax filings.

Required Credentials

When importing an existing Pennsylvania sales tax registration into Kintsugi, you'll need the following:

  • Sales License ID

  • FEIN

  • One of the following for validation:

    • Letter ID

    • Online Business Registration Confirmation Number

    • Payment Amount

    • Return Line Item

What's My Sales License ID?

Your Sales License ID is the account number assigned to your Pennsylvania sales tax account by the Department of Revenue. It is an 8-digit number issued when your sales tax registration was approved.

Where to find it

You can find your Sales License ID in any of the following places:

  • Your Pennsylvania Sales Tax License. The Department of Revenue issues a Sales Tax License upon approval of your registration. Your Sales License ID is printed on this document.

  • Your myPATH account. Log in at mypath.pa.gov and navigate to your sales tax account summary. Your Sales License ID (also referred to as your Revenue Account ID) is displayed in your account details.

  • Pennsylvania Department of Revenue correspondence. Any notices or letters from the Department of Revenue will reference your Sales License ID.

What's My FEIN?

Your FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) is the 9-digit number assigned to your business by the IRS, used to identify your business for federal tax purposes. It follows the format: XX-XXXXXXX.

Where to find it

You can find your FEIN in any of the following places:

  • Your IRS EIN confirmation letter (CP 575). The IRS mails this letter when your EIN is issued. Your FEIN is printed at the top of the document.

  • Your myPATH account. Log in at mypath.pa.gov and review your business profile to confirm the FEIN on file.

  • Prior federal tax filings. Your FEIN appears on any federal business tax returns you've previously filed.

For Validation Pick Any of the Following

Pennsylvania requires one additional piece of information to validate your account. Provide whichever of the following you have most readily available.

What's My Letter ID?

A Letter ID is a unique 10-digit number beginning with the letter L, printed on all correspondence from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. For example: L1234567890.

Where to find it: Any notice or letter mailed to you by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue will include a Letter ID printed on the document.

What's My Online Business Registration Confirmation Number?

Your Online Business Registration Confirmation Number is the confirmation code you received when you completed your Pennsylvania business tax registration online through myPATH or the Pennsylvania Online Business Tax Registration system.

Where to find it: Check the confirmation email you received after completing your online registration, or log in to your myPATH account at mypath.pa.gov to locate your registration confirmation.

What's My Payment Amount?

A Payment Amount is the dollar amount of a recent payment made toward your Pennsylvania sales tax account.

Where to find it: Log in to your myPATH account at mypath.pa.gov and review your payment history to locate a recent payment amount on your sales tax account.

What's My Return Line Item?

A Return Line Item is a specific dollar amount from a line item on one of your recently filed Pennsylvania sales tax returns. The return must be one of the last 5 returns filed within the past 2 years.

Where to find it: Log in to your myPATH account at mypath.pa.gov and navigate to your filed sales tax returns to locate a return line-item amount.

Next Step

Once you provide the required credentials, Kintsugi will initiate the third-party access request. You do not need to validate or approve the request separately, as Kintsugi will complete this step on your behalf.

Once access is confirmed, Kintsugi can continue with the registration import setup in the app.
