e-Services

New Sign-In Options Now Available

E-Services transitioned 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 e-Services users may continue to sign in with an active IRS username and don’t need to take any action at this time.

E-Services applications will prompt all users to accept the terms of agreement the first time signing in after July 24, 2022. 

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.

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.
