Third-Party Access in e-Services

Third-party access provides a secure and convenient way for users to manage accounts for other businesses. 

Every person logging into our e-Services system must have their own username, even if they are taking actions for another customer.

Note: A power of attorney must use third-party access to gain access to a client's information. 
 

When is third-party access needed?

It depends on your relationship with the business whose accounts you manage.

How do I request third-party access?

You must work with your client to establish third-party access before you log in to e-Services and request access. After you submit your request, your client will need to log in to e-Services to approve or deny third-party access.

From the e-Services account you want to use to access another account:

• Select Manage my profile
• Select the I Want To... tab
• Select Set up access with another business in the Access panel
• Select Request 3rd party Access to another Taxpayer’s Account(s)

You will need to know the account type, Minnesota Tax ID number, and Employer Identification Number for the account you are trying to gain access to. After requesting access, your client must approve the access request.
