Customers with multiple businesses or individuals

If you have access to multiple businesses or individuals, there are a few features that will help you quickly access your accounts and view returns, messages, and letters across your accounts in one view.

Web logons with more than 500 accounts

Web logons with more than 500 accounts need to follow these steps to access their complete account list.

Access your complete account list
 

Web logons with more than 500 accounts will not see their complete account list on the All tab when they log into My DOR. This tab only displays your favorites and accounts you worked with in your current session.

Here is what you would see when you first log in and have no favorites.
