I would set up an IRS Individual Online Account.
Taxpayers with a Social Security number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number can create or access their IRS Individual Online Account to get information they need to file their return.
With an IRS Individual Online Account, people can:
- View balance owed, payment history and schedule payments.
- Cancel scheduled payments – new feature for 2024.
- Get transcripts.
- View or create payment plans.
- See digital copies of some IRS notices.
- View key data from their most recently filed tax return, including adjusted gross income.
- Validate bank accounts and save multiple accounts, eliminating the need to re-enter bank account information every time they make a payment.
- View, approve and electronically sign power of attorney and tax information authorizations from their tax professional.
I would also request an Identity Protection PIN.
An Identity Protection (IP) PIN is a six-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a tax return using a taxpayer’s Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. The IP PIN is known only to the taxpayer and the IRS. It helps the IRS verify the taxpayer’s identity when they file an electronic or paper tax return.
The fastest way to receive an IP PIN is to use the online Get an IP PIN tool which will be available Jan. 8 through mid-November. Taxpayers that want an IP PIN and do not already have an Individual Online Account on IRS.gov, must register to confirm their identity.
