IRS Launches New Mobile App to Enhance Taxpayer Access to Account Services
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has launched a new mobile application, replacing its previous IRS2Go app. This new app aims to provide taxpayers with more secure ways to access IRS tools and account services directly from their mobile devices. The free application allows users to check refund and amended-return statuses, view available balance information, make payments, review payment activity, and access select notices and letters. Additionally, users can view available tax records and transcripts, manage certain profile and communication preferences, and access their Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN). Initially, the app extends selected features from the IRS Individual Online Account. The IRS plans to continuously expand the app's capabilities and services over time. The app is available for free download through the Apple App Store and Google Play, with the IRS advising caution against look-alike apps and unsolicited messages.
