The IRS recommends that taxpayers create an individual online account to securely access their tax information. This account lets you view your refund status, make payments, check your balance and more. However, the IRS also advises taxpayers to be cautious and watch for identity thieves. Create and always access your account directly through IRS.gov, and don’t share your information with unsolicited third parties. Scammers may offer account set-up “help” so they can collect your sensitive data during setup. Or they may use stolen personal information to access your account without authorization.
