New Sign-In Options for Users Coming in Summer 2022

The IRS will soon transition all e-Services tools to a new sign-in system that requires new users to register or sign in with ID.me, the current IRS credential service provider. Existing users don’t need to take any action at this time. E-Services users with an active IRS username may continue to sign in after the transition. More details to come.

Online Tools for Tax Professionals

e-Services is a suite of web-based tools that allow tax professionals, reporting agents, mortgage industry, payers and others to complete transactions online with the IRS. All e-Services users must accept the User Agreement in order to access accounts.

For online Power of Attorney (POA) and Tax Information Authorization (TIA), use Tax Pro Account or submit Forms 2848 and 8821.

Tax Transcript Information

The IRS has changed the format and distribution policy for tax transcripts. Authorized tax practitioners can access the Transcript Delivery System or request certain client transcripts be sent to their e-Services secure mailbox, where they will be available for retrieval. Reminder: If you view your transcript in your mailbox, it is only available for 3 days. Transcripts that haven’t been viewed are available for 30 days. Learn more about the new transcript policy.

Are you registered for Secure Access?

e-Services users can sign in to most IRS online services with an existing IRS username. New e-Services users can register by visiting the e-Services applications below and selecting “Create Account.” Please visit our FAQ page for e-Services and Secure Access.
