Helpful IRS Links and Tools...
Online IRS Account
We recommend that our clients set up an online IRS account so that they can check the status of their tax returns and transactions in real time. You can even make certain submissions and change your direct debit information (for IRS refunds) yourself conveniently via the online account. To find out more about this or set up your online account, click the button below.
Pay your federal tax...
If you owe federal tax we will provide you information on how to settle the tax in our filing instructions which accompany your copy of your tax return. However, we provide information here as well, for the convenience of clients. For taxpayers who have a bank account in the U.S., you may pay via IRS Direct pay. For those without a bank account in the United States, we recommend using a credit card. Please check out the IRS website for options and instructions.
Track your refund...
You can check the status of your refund for the current tax filing season at the IRS website (e.g. 2016 refund). Please allow 8 weeks after mailing your return for this information to become available. Be prepared to provide your name, social security number and amount of refund expected.
Track your amended return...
You can check the status of your amended federal tax return for up to three prior years at the IRS' website. Please allow up to 16 weeks after mailing your amended return to the IRS for the information to become available. Be prepared to provide your name, social security number and post/zip code.
Request an Account Transcript...
If you want to know whether the IRS has received or processed your federal return, you can request a transcript of your account by filling an online form. You will need to provide your name, social security number, date of birth, etc. You can also request income transcripts, if you would like to know what income has been reported to the IRS under your name.
