IRS Business Tax Account: A Valuable Tool for Business Owners

The IRS continues to expand its online services for businesses, making it easier than ever to access tax information without waiting on hold or searching through old paperwork.

If you own a business, we recommend creating an IRS Business Tax Account. This secure online portal allows eligible businesses to view tax information, make payments, access notices, and download important records directly from the IRS. The IRS also recently added the ability to download an EIN verification notice from within the account.

Benefits of an IRS Business Tax Account

Depending on your business type and role, the account may allow you to:

• View business tax balances and payment history

• Make and schedule federal tax payments

• Access certain tax records and transcripts

• View IRS notices electronically

• Verify your Employer Identification Number (EIN)

• Manage access for authorized users within the business

Who Can Use It?

The IRS has expanded eligibility beyond sole proprietors. Partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, tax-exempt organizations, and certain other entities may now be eligible to create and use a Business Tax Account. Access and available features vary based on business type and your role within the organization.

How to Get Started

To create an account, visit the IRS Business Tax Account page and sign in or create an account through the IRS identity verification process. Most users will need to verify their identity using ID.me and provide information that confirms their relationship to the business.

Why We Recommend It

An IRS Business Tax Account gives business owners direct access to important tax information and can help reduce delays when responding to IRS notices, making payments, or obtaining records. Having online access can also make it easier to monitor your account throughout the year and address issues before they become larger problems.
