Why You Need an IRS Online Account

If you haven’t created an IRS Online Account, now’s the time! This free, secure tool lets you see your entire tax picture in one place — including your balance, payment history, and any notices from the IRS. You can view or download your tax transcripts, check estimated payments, and even make same-day payments directly to your tax account.

Having an online account also helps prevent identity theft by giving you real-time visibility into your tax records — you’ll see right away if something looks off. Best of all, it simplifies life during tax season: no more waiting on hold or guessing what the IRS has on file.
