Signing in to Adams Tax Forms Helper takes two steps every time: your password, then a verification code. That keeps your account safe even if someone gets your password.

Before you start: You’ll need the email address you signed up with, your password, and access to the email inbox or phone that receives your codes.

You’ll see “Signed in successfully.”, and your Dashboard opens. If you were opening a page from a link, such as one in an email, that page opens instead.

Code didn’t arrive? Click Resend code for a new one. Only the newest code works. Still nothing? Click I didn’t get my code to get in with your Recovery PIN or backup method instead.

What happens next

Once your code is accepted, you're signed in and taken to your Dashboard. Each code works only once, so you'll get a new one every time you log in.

Common questions

What if my code doesn’t arrive?
Wait a minute, and check your spam or junk folder. Then click Resend code. The code goes to the email or phone shown on the screen. If it still doesn’t arrive, click I didn’t get my code to use your Recovery PIN or backup method.

It says “Code is invalid or has expired.”
The code was mistyped, or it’s too old. Click Resend code and enter the newest code.

It says “Too many code requests.”
You’ve asked for several codes in a short time. Wait a few minutes, then click Resend code.

It says my account is temporarily locked.
Too many wrong passwords were entered. Wait a few minutes and try again, or click Forgot your password? to reset your password, which unlocks your account straight away. See How to Reset a Forgotten Password.

It says “Invalid email or password.”
The message is the same for a wrong password and for an email address without an account. Check for typing mistakes, then click Forgot your password? if you need to.

Do I have to enter a code every time?
Yes. Every sign-in asks for a verification code, on every device.

I got a code I didn’t request. What should I do?
A code is only sent after the correct password is entered, so someone may have your password. Sign in and change it right away. See How to Change Your Password.

Want your codes sent somewhere else? See How to change your two-factor authentication phone number or email.
