To make it easier to file your tax return, the IRS allows you to import some information from your IRS account into certain tax preparation software.
How it works
While preparing your tax return, your tax preparation software may ask if you want to log into your IRS online account to import your information. You’ll be able to select which information you want to import.
Your tax preparation software won’t be able to access your IRS online account once the import is complete. You’ll remain in control of your information.
Information that can be imported
Right now, you can import the following information (if applicable):
- Forms W-2, Wage and Tax Statement
- Forms 1099-INT, Interest Income
- Forms 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement
- Identity protection (IP) PIN
- Last year’s adjusted gross income (AGI)
If you are filing Married Filing Jointly, you will not be able to import information for your spouse and will have to enter that information manually.
If information is missing from your online account
Here are some reasons why a form might be missing from your online account:
Forms W-2
- The IRS has not yet received your Form W-2 information. Most Forms W-2 are submitted to the federal government by January 31.
- You made less than $600 with an employer in 2024, so your employer isn’t required to file a Form W-2 for you. You’re still required to report all of your income.
Forms 1099-INT
- The IRS has not yet received your Form 1099-INT information. Most payers have until March 31 to send your Form 1099-INT information to the IRS.
- You made less than $10 in interest in 2025, so the payer isn’t required to send a Form 1099-INT to you. You’re still required to report all of your interest income.
Forms 1095-A
- The IRS has not yet received your Form 1095-A information. The Marketplace should send Form 1095-A to people enrolled in qualified Marketplace health plans by January 31.
- If someone else enrolled you, your spouse (who you’re filing jointly with), or a dependent, then a Form 1095-A may be sent to the person who completed the enrollment. You’ll need to check with them to get a copy.
