TaxJar needs third-party access to your Kentucky tax account to file and manage returns on your behalf. Choose an option for third-party access verification: either the gross receipts from your most recently filed return or your PIN code.

To find the gross receipts from your most recent return, log into your Kentucky Taxpayer Portal, go to Transactions > Saved Items. Select the confirmation number for the most recently filed return, then find the gross receipts listed on this return.
The state will mail you a letter with your PIN after TaxJar requests third-party access or you can expedite the process and receive the access code over the phone. Please call 502-564-5170 to request.

This is your filing frequency, as assigned by the state tax authority.
