Did you know you can set up an online account at IRS.gov to view your tax information? It can save you a lot of time, because you can access your tax information much more quickly using an online account rather than calling the IRS.

You can use your online account to look up the amounts of your total Economic Impact Payments. You may need that number to determine if you’re eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your taxes. (Keep in mind that most taxpayers already received the total amounts of their EIP and won’t qualify for this credit.)

You can also use your account to get specific information from your most recent tax return, find out how much tax you owe, view your payment history, see your annual balances, review the details of any payment plans you have, and get digital copies of some notices the IRS sent you.

To get started, visit IRS.gov/account. Click on “create or view your account” and follow the prompts. You’ll be guided through the process of setting up your online account. To protect your personal information, the IRS will verify your identity when you register. To learn more about that process, visit IRS.gov/secureaccess.
