IRS launches a new mobile app to replace IRS2Go
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released a new mobile app to replace its previous IRS2Go app, aiming to provide more services that taxpayers can securely use from their smartphones. Officials say the change is part of a broader effort to modernize digital tools and improve access to account information on mobile devices.
What changed with the new app
The IRS is replacing IRS2Go with a new mobile application. The goal is to expand the range of account services accessible on mobile devices and to strengthen security for taxpayers using the app to view information or complete actions related to their tax accounts. Officials describe this as part of a modernization push for digital services.
Who is affected
U.S. taxpayers who use mobile devices to interact with the IRS may have access to the new app and its services. The change could affect anyone who previously used IRS2Go or who wants to securely manage tax-related information on a phone. The article notes the app is intended to provide more services on mobile, though it does not specify all user groups or eligibility details.
Practical next steps for users
If you are interested in using the new IRS mobile app, you can watch for official IRS announcements about availability, download the app from your device’s app store. Follow any setup instructions to securely link your tax information. Ensure you use official IRS sources to avoid counterfeit apps. If you already use a mobile tax app, check whether it is being replaced or deprecated and plan to transition to the new app as directed by IRS communications.
Limits and questions
The source materials do not provide detailed information on which specific services are included in the new app, how data is protected, or how the transition will affect existing accounts. Users should refer to official IRS guidance for precise capabilities, security features, and how to migrate any saved data from IRS2Go if applicable.
