The IRS website got a refresh!

Online accounts for individuals, businesses, and tax professionals are now featured prominently on the website.

Haven’t signed up for yours yet? With an online account, you can:

* View prior-year returns and other tax records, including your adjusted gross income, or AGI (which you’ll need for some tax software programs) and official IRS transcripts;
* Make payments, schedule future payments, enter into installment agreements, and review your payment history;
* Access or retrieve your Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN), a six-digit number that provides an extra layer of security against tax-related identity theft; and
* Authorize a tax professional, like a tax attorney, enrolled agent, or accountant, to view your tax records and talk to the IRS on your behalf without you having to sign Form 2848.

(And it's a lifesaver for tax pros.)

It's free, but you will have to verify your identity (which most commonly requires ID and a smartphone).

Head over to irs.gov for more details.

So.... the 2025 form to establish the new Trump account is 4547 - imagine that! 🤣😂. Make IRS great again. Were going to have fun with that one this year. This will be the best tax season yet.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, enacted on July 4, 2025 as Public Law 119-21, introduced a wide range of changes that will impact tax returns for the 2025 tax year and beyond.
Taxpayers who have a child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 will be provided a $1,000 prefunded when they open a “Trump Account”, a new type of federally-backed savings account.
Contributions can only be made in calendar years before the beneficiary turns age 18, and distributions can only be made starting in the calendar year the beneficiary turns age 18, however distributions made before age 59-1/2 are subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty as well as exceptions to the penalty.
Trump Accounts can be opened after July 4, 2026.
What are Trump Accounts for newborns?
If you’ve seen headlines mentioning “Trump baby savings accounts” or something similar, don’t let that confuse you. Trump Accounts for newborns are the same type of account mentioned above, but with an extra perk. Children born in tax years 2025 through 2028 are eligible for a $1,000 seed contribution from the federal government, which will be deposited directly into their account after birth. Parents will need to elect whether they want the government to deposit $1,000 into their child’s Trump Account.
