Tax professionals can now make certain payments on behalf of their business clients through Tax Pro Account, the IRS announced on Nov. 6.
The new feature allows practitioners to finish more routine client payment tasks through the same secure online tool they use to view client information and manage authorizations. Tax professionals previously could view business clients’ balances and payment activity in Tax Pro Account but couldn’t make a payment on their behalf.
“Expanding online services that enable tax professionals to do more for their clients advances the goal of making the IRS a digital-first agency,” IRS CEO Frank Bisignano said in a statement. “For taxpayers who rely on tax professionals, this change will save time and make it easier for them to meet their tax obligations.”
Through Tax Pro Account, authorized tax professionals can now make the following payments on behalf of business clients:
- Full or partial balance;
- Amended return;
- Extension;
- Proposed tax assessment; and
- Federal tax deposit.
Tax professionals must have the appropriate authorization for the client and tax matters involved, the IRS says.
