The latest tax information and tips are just a click away. IRS.gov provides taxpayer assistance 24/7 and is regularly updated to reflect the most current tax information for most tax-related questions. The agency encourages the public to visit IRS.gov to:

Get answers to tax questions. The Interactive Tax Assistant asks a series of questions and immediately provides answers on a variety of tax law topics.
Download forms and publications. View, download and print federal tax forms and publications anytime.
File taxes for free. File federal tax returns for free using IRS Free File. Taxpayers who earned $69,000 or less can prepare and e-file their taxes using free brand name tax software. With e-file, there is no need to prepare or mail any paper forms to the IRS.
Check on a refund. The Where’s My Refund? tool is a fast and easy way to check on a tax refund. The IRS2Go app also allows taxpayers easy access to this tool.
Pay taxes owed. Pay taxes due using a checking or savings account with IRS Direct Pay. It’s secure, easy and free!
Apply for a payment plan. A payment agreement may be an option for taxpayers who can’t pay all their taxes at once.
Check out a charity. It’s important to only donate to a qualified charity to deduct the donation on a tax return. The Tax Exempt Organization Search tool on IRS.gov lists qualified charities.
Check tax withholding. The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator can help taxpayers who got a large refund or owed more taxes than expected change their tax withholding or make additional or estimated tax payments.
Get tax records. The Get Transcript tool on IRS.gov allows taxpayers to get a copy of their tax return transcript and other tax records online or by mail.
