How to find out your TIN

Probably, each person today has his own personal TIN.

It is not uncommon for situations when a person urgently needs to know him, but there is no corresponding document (lost, forgot to pick it up from the tax office, and so on).

What to do in such a situation? What methods to find out the TIN exist?

Let's consider these and other questions in more detail.

What is a taxpayer identification number

For order and consistency in taxes paid by legal entities and individuals to the state budget, a TIN was developed. For the first time it began to be used back in the 90s, and since 2000 it has been mandatory to assign it to all citizens of the Russian Federation.

TIN contains a code consisting of twelve digits (arabic). They stand for:

In addition, the TIN includes several numbers called "control". They are calculated according to a specially developed formula. The numbers are located at the end of the digital code.

TIN is issued in the form of a certificate printed on a regular A4 paper. For your information, the code contains all the necessary information about its owner.

In turn, the definition means a personal account number, which is unique and is assigned to each citizen.

SNILS includes all the necessary information about the committed employer for the entire period of employment of a particular person. The information is taken into account in the future when determining the amount of pension provision.

In addition, with the help of SNILS, today you can use the State Services service on the Internet, which greatly simplifies the procedure for obtaining any services of state institutions.

When applying in person to the tax office

You can find out the TIN in this way at the place of your residence.

Before going to the tax office necessary:

• take a passport (it is recommended to make copies of all completed pages);
• pay the state fee.

When applying, the applicant, together with the employees of the tax authority, draws up an appropriate application, after which he will be provided with all the necessary information.

It is important to remember: every resident of the Russian Federation has every right to indicate his TIN in his passport. This is a voluntary service that is performed on the basis of the submission of an appropriate application to the tax office.

Online

You can find out the TIN via the Internet in several ways according to the following data:

• surnames;
• passport;
• SNILS.

By last name

It is important to remember: official portals do not provide the opportunity to find out this information solely by last name, without specifying passport data.

However, exceptions are individuals who are registered in the status of individual entrepreneurs or heads of farms.

In the process of carrying out entrepreneurial activities, citizens register with the tax service in the same way as legal entities, and all information is immediately entered into the Unified State Register.

That is why such individuals have the right to receive interested information about their TIN without indicating passport data.

Algorithm simple:

1. On the official portal of the Federal Tax Service, you must go to the subsection of checking counterparties and indicate the IP data (initials, region and address of residence).
2. Based on the data provided, the system will provide all the necessary information, including the TIN.

The whole process takes no more than 3-5 minutes.

Using passport details

If a person was previously assigned a TIN, but for some reason the citizen did not receive a certificate or simply lost it, he can find out his number from his passport in several ways:

Get passport information on the FTS website simple enough:

1. You should go to the official portal of the Federal Tax Service.
2. Fill out a special form.
3. Get all the necessary information after the formation of the request.

When filling out a special form, you must be prepared to indicate:

• personal information about an individual (full name, place of birth (this information is not mandatory));
• a type of document that can confirm the identity of the applicant and details (for example, a passport: its series, number, who issued it, when exactly).

After sending the request, you must enter the captcha, and then get the information. Information will be provided only if the database of the tax service has this data.

You can find out the TIN in this way within 2 - 3 minutes.

Personal pension account data by individual taxpayer number

Unfortunately, the taxpayer identification number does not allow you to find out SNILS by any method, even when you personally contact the territorial department of the Pension Fund.

Despite the fact that SNILS and TIN are assigned individually to each person, they are not interconnected, since each includes separate information.

It is worth noting that SNILS can be found if you have a personal account on the official portal of the State Services (this information is indicated in the personal questionnaire).
