i'm very confused about local income tax. i went to my city's website and downloaded a form in PDF format that makes calculations as information is entered. at the beginning of the form there is a box asking for an "account number". i have no idea what this account number is. at first i tried entering the EIN from my W-2 form, but that wasn't right. the tax account number is a 7-digit number in the format x-xxxxx-x, where an EIN is a 9-digit number. nowhere on my W-2 is there any indication of a "tax account number" for the city. the option of e-filing is also out of the question because they still ask for this "tax account number" as well as a "personal filing code, PFC, mailed earlier this year" (which i also don't have). am i supposed to leave the box blank? could this number only apply to businesses? i'm an individual filer.

i found out that first time filers in the city won't have an account number or filing code until they've first filed a paper return. therefore the account number box can be left blank.
please disregard this question.
