How can I create an IRS.gov account for myself?

You might want to create an IRS.gov account to check your tax records and transcripts, view a balance due, make a payment, or set up a payment plan with the IRS. To create your account, go to https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account and click on “Sign in to your Online Account”.

Then click on “Create an account”.

Create a login following the prompts. To verify your identity, you will need to have your photo ID available. Note that if you are using a smartphone to take a photo of your ID, it might be easier to use the option where they send a link to your phone due to the file types the website accepts when uploaded from your computer.
