Tax professionals can access useful tools on their IRS Tax Pro Account

As part of 2024 National Tax Security Awareness Week, the IRS and Security Summit partners remind tax professionals that their IRS Tax Pro Account, a digital self-service portal, lets them manage authorized relationships with their clients and view clients' tax information while keeping client data secure.

The IRS Tax Pro Account lets qualified tax professionals send power of attorney and tax information authorization requests directly to a client's individual IRS Online Account. This shortens processing times and eliminates the need to fax, mail or upload documents.

To approve a tax professional’s authorization request in IRS Online Account, the taxpayer simply checks a box and submits the authorization request to the IRS. Most authorizations are processed immediately, though some may take up to 48 hours.

Requirements of Tax Pro Account
To use Tax Pro Account, a tax professional needs:

  • Centralized Authorization File number in good standing that's assigned to them as an individual. Tax professionals can request a CAF number when using Tax Pro Account for the first time.
  • A CAF address that’s in the 50 states or the District of Columbia.

Features of Tax Pro Account
Tax professionals can also use their Tax Pro Account to:

  • View clients' tax information, including balance due amounts.
  • Send a POA or TIA request to an individual's IRS Online Account for approval.
  • View and withdraw active POAs and TIAs.
  • Manage and withdraw active client authorizations on file with the CAF database.
