Your IRS Online Account

Why wait on hold when you have faster options?

Filing season is the busiest season for the IRS, with calls to IRS customer service lines reaching the highest volumes seen all year.

With an online account, you may find the information you need any time without having to call the IRS.

Once you sign up for an online account, you can:

• Access tax records – view key data from your previously filed tax return, including your adjusted gross income; access transcripts of your account; view Economic Impact Payment information; view advanced Child Tax Credit information; view digital copies of certain notices from the IRS.
• Make and view payments – make payments from your bank account or by debit/credit card; view five years of payment history; schedule and cancel future payments; view pending and scheduled payments.
• View or create payment plans – apply for a payment plan; view and revise existing payment plans.
• View your balance – view amount owed, including a breakdown by tax year.
• Manage communication preferences – go paperless for certain notices and get email notifications for new account information or activity.
• View tax professional authorizations – view any authorization requests from tax professionals and electronically sign a Power of Attorney or Tax Information Authorization from your tax professional.
• Get virtual assistance – ask balance due and payment-related questions.

The IRS is continuously adding new functionality and features to online accounts.
