The Internal Revenue Service announced on Sept. 25, 2026, the launch of the new IRS mobile app, replacing IRS2Go and expanding digital services so taxpayers can securely access IRS tools and account services from mobile devices.
"For more than a decade, IRS2Go has helped taxpayers check refund status and find free filing resources," the agency said, adding that the new app builds on that foundation with a broader set of secure, account-specific features.
"The new IRS app puts more services at taxpayers' fingertips," said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. "It advances our digital-first agenda to meet taxpayers how and where they choose to interact with the IRS, whether at home or on the go. Our goal is to make IRS services easy to access and more consistent across all of our platforms."
Taxpayers can now securely sign in to the official IRS app to access selected account information and self-service options, including checking refund and amended-return status, viewing available balance information, making payments and reviewing payment activity, viewing select notices and letters, accessing available tax records and transcripts, managing certain profile and communication preferences, and accessing an Identity Protection PIN.
The IRS said this is just the beginning and that it will continue expanding the app with new capabilities and services over time. The app is free through the Apple App Store and Google Play, and current IRS2Go users do not need to download a separate app; those with automatic updates enabled will receive the IRS app through the normal update process.
The app expands secure mobile access to selected IRS Individual Online Account services but does not replace IRS.gov or the IRS online accounts. IRS.gov continues to provide comprehensive tax information, guidance, forms, tools and services, while Individual Online Account, Business Tax Account and Tax Pro Account remain available through IRS.gov, with the app initially extending selected Individual Online Account features only. Telephone and in-person assistance also remain available.
The IRS urged taxpayers to use verified IRS links or official app listings and to be cautious of look-alike apps, advertisements and unsolicited messages claiming to provide access to IRS accounts, noting it will not ask taxpayers to provide sensitive personal or financial information through an unsolicited text, email or pop-up message.
