    • Use ’Where’s My Refund?’ to check on the status of your refund.

    • Get the App: IRS2Go is the official mobile app of the IRS. Check your refund status, make a payment, find free tax preparation assistance, sign up for helpful tax tips, and more.

    • Use the EITC Assistant to see if you’re eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit.

    • Print tax products by clicking on the ‘Forms and Pubs’ tab.

    • Click on the ‘Payments’ tab for options to pay you tax including IRS Direct Pay.

    • Get the latest news; find free tax preparation sites and more. 
  • E-file your tax return. More than 128 million taxpayers used IRS e-file to do their taxes last year. E-file is the safe, accurate and easier way to file your tax return. Try IRS Free File! IRS Free File is only available on IRS.gov. Go to IRS.gov and click on the ‘Filing’ tab to review your options.

  • Visit IRS.gov/ACA for health care tax information.  If you have any questions about the Affordable Care Act, the IRS website is your spot for answers. Find more on how the health care law affects your taxes. Get the latest ACA tax news for individuals and employees.  

Each and every taxpayer has a set of fundamental rights they should be aware of when dealing with the IRS. These are your Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Explore your rights and our obligations to protect them on IRS.gov.
