NEW IRS MOBILE APP NOW AVAILABLE
The IRS has launched a new official mobile app, replacing IRS2Go and giving taxpayers easier, secure access to important IRS tools right from their phones.

Through the new IRS app, taxpayers can:

• Check refund and amended-return status
• View available balance information
• Make payments and review payment activity
• View select IRS notices and letters
• Access available tax records and transcripts
• Manage certain account preferences
• Access an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN)

The app is FREE and available through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Current IRS2Go users with automatic updates enabled will receive the new app through the normal update process.

⚠️ Stay Alert: Be cautious of look-alike apps, advertisements, texts, or emails claiming to provide access to your IRS account. The IRS will not ask for sensitive personal or financial information through unsolicited texts, emails, or pop-up messages.

For verified information and links to the official app, visit IRS.gov.
