Why do I need to activate my Online account?  

The new MyGovernment portal provides taxpayers with several advantages over the in-person method.

1. Simply activating your account gives you the option of paying taxes as well as filing returns in a secure environment with a simple-to-use interface experience.
2. Receive instant confirmation of transactions with printable receipts.
3. Enjoy the convenience of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week access to your account and avoid the hassle of standing in long lines.
4. Important information such as due dates or any outstanding balance son taxes are indicated on the interface.
