Establishing an Online IRS Account as a Sole Proprietor

If you are a sole proprietor with an employer identification number (EIN), there are many benefits to establishing an online IRS account. 


For example, sole proprietors with EINs can:

• Use a business tax account.

• View name and address on file.

• Give others in the company access to the account.

• Request a tax check to see if the business is compliant.

• Access business tax transcripts.

• View outstanding balances and schedule and track payments.

• View letters and notices.


To create a new account, click HERE and then click the “Create account or sign in” button. Be sure to have your photo ID available to verify identity. 


Please note, most of these features will be available in 2024.
