IRS Online Accounts for Taxpayers

The IRS’ Online Account is an web-accessed system that allows you to securely view your individual taxpayer information. Generally, your tax preparer is not allowed to start an online account for you nor view your IRS online account.

You can view:

• The amount you owe, updated for the current calendar day
• Your balance details by year
• Your payment history and any scheduled or pending payments
• Key information from your most recent tax return
• Payment plan details, if you have one
• Digital copies of select notices from the IRS
• Your Economic Impact Payments (EIP 1 and EIP 2), if any

You can also:

• Make a payment online
• See payment plan options and request a plan via Online Payment Agreement
• Access your tax records via Get Transcript

Create or view your account

If you have questions about how to create an account, see Secure Access: How to Register for Certain Online Self-Help Tools.

Please note:

• Your balance will update no more than once every 24 hours, usually overnight.
• Check or money order payments may take up to 3 weeks to appear in your account.
