Short answer: most people no longer log in to Fisconline with a PIN. If you live in Italy and have no VAT number, you sign in to the Agenzia delle Entrate’s reserved area with SPID, CIE or CNS; Fisconline PINs are still issued to VAT holders, people acting for companies and non-residents. Here’s the quickest way in:
- Open the Agenzia delle Entrate reserved area.
- Choose SPID, CIE or CNS (or the Fisconline/Entratel tab if you hold credentials: codice fiscale, password and PIN).
- Approve the login in your SPID or CIE app, and you land in your personal area, with the Cassetto Fiscale and the precompiled 730.
Lost your Fisconline password or PIN? The Agenzia’s credential recovery page resets them.
Fisconline is the online channel of the Agenzia delle Entrate, Italy’s tax agency, and its reserved area (area riservata) is where you file returns, check what the tax office holds on you and pay what you owe. For most people who live here, it replaces a morning in a waiting room with a few minutes at the kitchen table.
This guide covers who can still get Fisconline credentials in 2026, how everyone else logs in, and the services worth knowing. It was checked against the Agenzia’s own pages in October 2026.

How you log in now
Since 1 March 2021 the Agenzia no longer issues Fisconline credentials to ordinary residents. If you have a codice fiscale (tax code) and no VAT number, you log in with a digital identity: SPID, the electronic identity card (CIE) or the national services card (CNS). For most newcomers, the CIE issued by the comune with their residence is the simplest route.
Fisconline credentials are still issued to a smaller group:
- residents with an active VAT number (partita IVA), such as freelancers and sole traders;
- people authorized to work online for a company, organization or professional (the gestori incaricati and operatori incaricati);
- Italian citizens living abroad, through their consulate, only if they hold a VAT number or act for others;
- foreign non-residents who need the Agenzia’s online services.
Companies with only a few employees register through their legal representative, who then authorizes the people who will actually do the work online.
Getting the PIN
Online registration asks for your tax code and, as a security check, some figures from your last tax return. You get the first four digits of the PIN on screen. The other six, with a first-access password, arrive by post at the address the Agenzia has for you within about 15 days. If you qualify but cannot apply online, any Agenzia office can register you in person. The Agenzia’s registration guide explains each profile, including the separate route for foreign non-residents.
Americans filing here also have a US return and an FBAR each year; our guide to US taxes while living in Puglia lines up both calendars.
We keep the PIN letter in the same folder as the deeds and the car papers. It is the one envelope you will want again, usually on the day it seems to have vanished.
Key finding: Puglia Everyday research found that since 1 March 2021 residents without a VAT number log in to the Agenzia delle Entrate with SPID, CIE or CNS, while a Fisconline PIN arrives in two parts, 4 digits on screen and 6 by post within about 15 days (October 2026).

What you can do in the reserved area
Check your tax file
The Cassetto Fiscale (tax drawer) holds your returns, F24 payments, registered contracts and messages from the Agenzia. It is the quickest way to see what the tax office knows about you, and to spot a payment that never arrived.
File a return
Employees and pensioners usually file the Modello 730. The Agenzia prepares a pre-filled version (730 precompilato) with salary, pension, many medical expenses and mortgage interest already in it. In 2026 it could be viewed from 30 April, sent from 14 May, and the deadline was 30 September. Freelancers and others file the Modello Redditi PF, whose pre-filled version was available from 20 May 2026 and must be sent by 2 November 2026. Companies file the Modello Redditi SC, normally through their accountant.
Check the pre-filled data line by line. It is a starting point, not a verdict, and a missed expense or a duplicated income figure is yours to correct.
VAT, rentals and payments
VAT-registered businesses can file the annual VAT return and look up past filings, although many leave this to their commercialista. Owners who rent out property can register leases through the RLI service and pay the registration tax and stamp duty at the same time. Most taxes are paid with the Modello F24, which you can fill in and pay online from your bank account. For a company such as an SRL, the same area shows its tax position.
Good habits
- Protect your log-in as you would your bank details. Enable notifications to your email and phone in the Profilo utente section, which also lets you recover a lost PIN.
- Tell the Agenzia promptly about a change of address, company structure or legal representative, so letters reach you.
- Put deadlines in a calendar and read the messages in the reserved area. Late filing and late payment bring penalties.
- Save your own copies of every return, receipt and F24. The Cassetto Fiscale is reliable, but not always available on the day you need it.
- Companies will also need a digital signature (firma digitale) and a certified email (PEC) for many filings.
Where to start
If you are new to Italy, get a CIE or SPID first, log in once, and spend ten minutes in the Cassetto Fiscale before your first deadline. If you are self-employed under the forfettario regime, ask your commercialista which filings they make in your name, and check them there.

Fisconline FAQ
Can I still get a Fisconline PIN?
Only some people can. Since 1 March 2021 the Agenzia issues Fisconline credentials mainly to residents with a VAT number, people authorized to act for a company or professional, and foreign non-residents who need its online services. Everyone else logs in with SPID, CIE or CNS.
Do I need SPID to use the Agenzia delle Entrate online?
Not necessarily. SPID is one option; the electronic identity card (CIE) and the national services card (CNS) work too. For most newcomers, the CIE issued by their comune is the simplest route.
Where do I find the pre-filled 730?
In the reserved area. In 2026 the 730 precompilato could be viewed from 30 April and sent from 14 May, with a 30 September deadline.
