IRS online tools.
Direct links to the official IRS tools that taxpayers use most. Every link goes to IRS.gov.
Pay the IRS
Make a payment from your bank account with IRS Direct Pay. There is no fee, and you do not need to register.
Your IRS online account
See your balance, payment history, notices, and tax records in one secure IRS account.
Get a transcript
Download your tax return or account transcript. Lenders and aid offices often ask for one.
Set up a payment plan
If you cannot pay in full, you may be able to set up a payment plan online.
IRS forms and instructions
Find current and prior-year IRS forms, instructions and publications.
Check your refund
Track your federal refund, or your amended return.
Protect yourself from scams. The IRS does not start contact by text message, email or social media to ask for personal or financial information, and it does not demand payment by gift card or wire transfer. Use only websites that end in .gov to pay the IRS.
