How do I log into my account on the IRS website?

Your IRS account can show you the information you need to file an accurate tax return. E.g., the amount of Child Tax Credit (CTC) or stimulus payments you've received.

If you don't have an IRS account, you will have to create one and sign into it to access that info.

Verifying your identity using the ID.me service to create an IRS account can be challenging. 

To verify your identity you will need: 

- an email address

- your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

- photo ID (driver's license, state ID, passport, or passport card), and

- mobile phone with camera or laptop/computer with webcam.
