1.  Q: I have more than one account number with Phoenix. How do I link my other accounts to my user ID?
A: Login to your account and select "Merge Accounts". Enter the license/account number that you would like to link to your User ID and click "Submit."

    • A PIN is sent to your email address. Return to the "Merge Accounts" page and re-enter the license/account number along with the PIN to add the account to your User ID. Once you "Submit" and log back in you will see that the new account number appears in the list of accounts.

The email address associated with your e-Tax & License Services account must be on record for the account number that you are attempting to add.
