Since January 23rd, taxpayers in the United States can send their tax returns to the IRS offices. This means that the tax season has already started and it will stretch for 3 months or so.
The last day we can send this tax return to the IRS is April 23, 2023. We are talking about the taxes related to the attorney year 2022. Although it is advisable to do the tax return as soon as possible, there is one action we should take before sending all the documents to the IRS.
Creating an online IRS account is not only useful, but it is free and streamlines all the processes a lot. Getting it is really easy and has a number of advantages that we cannot miss. Therefore, we have no excuse not to make one of these IRS online accounts and enjoy all its advantages.
How and why to make an IRS online account?
Apart from having total control of all personal information related to taxes, through an IRS online account we will be able to control the following:
- See the amount of the last tax return.
- Check adjusted gross income.
- The payment history of the last five years as a taxpayer.
- Check the taxes you owe.
- IRS updates in digital format.
- Authorizations from tax professionals.
As you can see, there are many advantages that we obtain by creating one of these online accounts. To make this IRS account we will not need more than:
- A cell phone in our name.
- Our email address.
- Our mailing address.
- A US passport (or similar).
- Social Security number or attorney identification number.
Through the IRS website we can access to create this online account to control all our taxes. It may take a few days to have it active, since we have to wait to receive a code by mail or SMS, but it will be worth it. In the end, all our IRS and tax refund procedures will be streamlined.
