State tax staff demo MyNevada Tax eServices: account setup, business registration and payments
Summary
Nevada tax staff hosted a recorded MyNevada Tax eServices training showing how to create a login with two-step verification, request access to business accounts, register a business (including NAICS selection and officer details), file returns and make logged-in or guest payments; Phase 2/3 (modified business and commerce tax) was slated for later this year.
Jason O’Brien, a tax program supervisor, opened a recorded training session and guided attendees through the state’s new MyNevada Tax eServices portal. “Please be advised this will be recorded for training and educational purposes,” he said, and outlined that the session would cover creating a login, requesting account access, registering businesses, filing returns and making payments.
The session began with a narrated walkthrough of account creation. The recording instructs users to click Sign up, provide an email and username, set a minimum eight-character password with uppercase, lowercase, numbers and a special character, verify the email and enroll in two-step verification. The presenters emphasized preserving the confirmation page: “We highly suggest that you keep a copy of this confirmation just in case anything goes wrong,” Jason said.
Dana, a tax examiner in Reno, led a live demo of registering a business on the portal. The registration flow requires selecting an entity type and federal ID (FEIN or Social Security number for sole proprietors), providing legal and trade names, indicating Nevada business ID or unemployment insurance number where applicable, and selecting NAICS codes using the built-in lookup tool. Dana demonstrated adding corporate officers (legal name, ITIN/SSN, title, ownership percentage and contact information) and noted that users should save drafts during the process because incomplete registrations may require restarting.
The demo also covered location and sales-activity fields that determine which tax types a business must register for. Dana said the portal’s initial questionnaire asks whether the business sells or leases tangible personal property — a key determinant of sales or consumer use tax liability — and whether sales are made through marketplace facilitators such as Amazon or Etsy, which collect tax on vendors’ behalf.
The presenters showed that the system issues a new account ID for sales and use and related tax types. Morgan, a tax examiner in Las Vegas, addressed frequently asked questions: Nevada Tax Center credentials will not log in to MyNevada Tax and users must create new credentials; legacy taxpayer IDs (TIDs) will be supported for a limited time and users without an account ID can change the verification type to legacy taxpayer ID to request access; verification codes may go to junk or spam folders; and non-owner applicants may need to provide historical transaction details or request an access code mailed to the business.
Recorded demonstrations covered filing returns and making payments. The filing walkthrough shows entering county-by-county sales and exempt sales, reviewing totals, checking the affidavit and choosing payment options. The payment demos include making payments both while logged in (selecting an account and optionally saving bank-account information) and without logging in (entering FEIN/ITIN/SSN and account number, then paying by bank account). Jason noted a $15 fee for a sales tax permit during the registration flow and advised printing or saving the confirmation and permit for public display at the business location.
On schedule, Jason said the portal will add additional tax types in phases 2 and 3 later this year, specifically the modified business tax and the commerce tax. Attendees were directed to tax.nv.gov for FAQs, instructional videos and PowerPoint materials under the Department’s education resources.
The training was primarily instructional; presenters repeatedly distinguished demonstrations and system-confirmation steps from policy or legal interpretation. No formal votes or policy actions were taken during the session. Attendees were instructed to contact an authorized user or the department when access or account data do not match records.
