IRS expands business tax account access to millions of entities

The IRS has expanded the business tax account to millions of entities — including partnerships, Indian tribal governments, tax-exempt organizations, and government bodies — that did not previously have access to the online, self-service platform.

The newly eligible entities, including federal, state and local governments, join sole proprietors, S corporations and C corporations on the list of entities able to access the platform.

“Digital access will reduce the burden on these taxpayers because they no longer will be limited to paper and phone interactions to perform simple tasks with the IRS,” IRS CEO Frank Bisignano said Monday in a news release.
