The IRS’s online self-service platform for businesses is now available to partnerships; federal, state, and local governments; Indian tribal governments; and tax-exempt organizations, the tax agency announced on Monday.
By opening the Business Tax Account to partnerships, nonprofits, and other organizations, the IRS is giving millions more entities secure, convenient access to their tax information, IRS CEO Frank Bisignano said.
“Digital access will reduce the burden on these taxpayers because they no longer will be limited to paper and phone interactions to perform simple tasks with the IRS,” he said in a statement on April 6.
The newly eligible entities join sole proprietors, S corporations, and C corporations in being able to access the platform.
The IRS says the expansion supports its ongoing service improvement effort by broadening digital access to more segments of the business community.
