Ah, this happens quite often — the Tax Identification Number (TIN) is essential for filing PIT, but sometimes the system doesn’t return it correctly. Here’s exactly what to do to retrieve your TIN in Nigeria:
1. Confirm Your Registration Status
Before anything else:
Go to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) TIN portal: https://tin.gov.ng
Use the “Verify TIN” feature to check if your TIN exists.
You’ll need your BVN and full name as registered.
If it shows a TIN, note it down.
Sometimes the system fails on “forgot TIN” because of name/BVN mismatch, so double-check your registration details.
2. Attempt Online Retrieval Correctly
If you clicked “Forgot TIN” and got no response:
Make sure you’re using the exact details used during TIN registration:
Full name as per official ID
Date of birth
BVN (Bank Verification Number)
Avoid typos or abbreviations; the system is sensitive.
3. Contact the Tax Authority
If online retrieval fails, you need direct intervention:
For Federal Employees / Non-Residents / FIRS TIN
Call or email FIRS TIN support:
Phone: +234 9 462 2222 (FIRS office)
Email: tinhelpdesk@firs.gov.ng
Provide: Full name, date of birth, BVN, phone number, and explain “I cannot retrieve my TIN online.”
For State Residents / PIT TIN
If your TIN is issued by your State IRS (like Lagos, Enugu, Oyo), contact the state tax office directly. For example:
Lagos State IRS: info@lirs.gov.ng
Enugu State IRS: info@enugustateirs.ng
Bring ID and proof of previous filing attempts when visiting physically — this helps the officers retrieve your TIN manually.
4. As a Last Resort — Re-issue
Some states / FIRS offices can reissue your TIN if it cannot be retrieved online.
This usually involves filling a TIN application form, providing your BVN, ID, and proof of prior registration.
5. Tips to Avoid Problems
Always save a digital copy or screenshot of your TIN once retrieved.
Link your TIN to your BVN — it makes recovery easier.
Avoid multiple “forgot TIN” requests online — it sometimes locks your access temporarily.
💡 Practical Step Today:
Try the Verify TIN tool at https://tin.gov.ng�.
If no result, call the FIRS or state IRS help desk and provide your details.
If needed, visit the nearest IRS office with your ID and BVN for manual retrieval.
If you want, I can draft a step-by-step email template you can send to FIRS/state IRS to retrieve your TIN today — so you can get a faster response.

Here’s a clear, step‑by‑step guide to filing your Personal Income Tax (PIT) online for Osun Internal Revenue Service so you don’t have to physically visit their office. This applies to individual residents (salaried or self‑employed) who must file before March 31 each year under the Personal Income Tax Act.
🧾 1. Confirm What You’re Filing (Who Must File)
You must file PIT returns if:
You earn income from employment (PAYE) — salary, allowances, bonuses.
You are self‑employed or earn income outside employment (Direct Assessment).
You earn from other sources (rental income, side gig, consultancy, etc.).
Every taxpayer is obligated to file annual returns by March 31st of each year for income earned in the preceding year.
🔑 2. Get Your Taxpayer Identifiers
‣ Tax Identification Number (TIN)
If you don’t have a TIN:
Visit the JTB TIN application via the OIRS website.
Complete the individual TIN application form online.
Submit and download/print your TIN — this is required for filing.
Note: Some state e‑payment portals also let you apply for a TIN during registration.
‣ Payer ID
This is a unique reference used for payment and filings.
If already registered, you can retrieve your Payer ID using your phone number or from a prior Automated Revenue Receipt (ARR)
If not registered, you must create a profile on the OIRS tax portal (next step).
🌐 3. Register / Create Your Online Tax Profile
Use the state’s electronic tax portal to register yourself if you haven’t already:
Open the link and fill in the details (name, contact, TIN, NIN/BVN if required).
Submit and wait for confirmation; you’ll receive your Payer ID and login credentials.
📌 Save these securely — you’ll need them for payment and filing.
💸 4. Calculate and Pay Any Tax Due
Before you submit your return, determine your tax. For individuals:
Salaried workers under PAYE: your employer typically deducts your tax monthly.
Self‑employed or direct assessment: you must compute your gross income and liability yourself.
Payments can be made online through the same tax portal or affiliated e‑payment system using your Payer ID, Agency & Revenue Codes, and correct amount.
Ensure you keep the payment receipt(s) — they’ll support your filing.
📄 5. Prepare Your Annual Tax Return
