It is made in a white and blue color palette. All the tools you may need are located in front of you, at the bottom of the screen. Their icons are signed so you will not miss the tool you need. There are numerous explanations for every service you pick. The IRS provides you detailed information on what they provide and what you have to fill in order to receive the data.
The app is easy to use and you will learn how to operate your account after several minutes. The app asks permission for your location, your phone number, and in rare cases photos or other files if you want to send the IRS something through the app. You may also attach your credit card if you send payments to the IRS via the app. However, you don’t have to do it, if you don’t want to.
