IRS launches new mobile app to expand digital taxpayer services

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has launched a new mobile application to replace the existing IRS2Go platform. This update is part of a digital-first strategy intended to provide taxpayers with more secure and direct access to account services via mobile devices.

While the previous app primarily focused on checking refund statuses and locating filing resources, the new application offers expanded functionality. Users can now check the status of amended returns, view account balances, make payments, and review payment histories. Additionally, the app allows taxpayers to view certain IRS notices and letters, access tax records and transcripts, manage communication preferences, and request an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN).

IRS CEO Frank J. Bisignano stated that the new app “puts more services at taxpayers’ fingertips” and aims to meet taxpayers where they choose to interact. The agency noted that more capabilities and services will be added to the application over time. Users of the former IRS2Go app with automatic updates enabled will receive the new application through the standard update process.
