Here is a link to set up your new individual IRS taxpayer account. You will need to create one if you currently pay your estimates or balances due by paper check. IRS has phased out paper checks. Also note, they will no longer mail paper checks for refunds due the taxpayer. Direct deposit or debit card will be your only options.

Sign in or create an online account. Review the amount you owe, balance for each tax year, payment history, tax records and more.

This is right up there with those fraudulent ads pushing the ERC credit. The one where they tell you they will get you the credit you deserve, $26,000. per employee as a reward for remaining open during covid. Where they tell you even if your CPA tells you that you don't qualify, we will get you your money, your CPA doesn't know all the rules that were put in place..... just remember - A CPA is not permitted to work on commission, not permitted to take a % of any tax refund; and will always represent you if the IRS comes knocking......oh and we are required by law to protect all of your personal data and information; we are not permitted to sell your personal information to anyone, and cannot even share your tax information to anyone including financial institutions; lawyers, or even other family members without express WRITTEN permission by you, the taxpayer. Please, please, please be careful of the too good to be true scenarios........

FYI - this continues to be my biggest Pet Peeve......no, everyone does NOT qualify for the ERC - your CPA does know the law, and yes, if you qualify, we will tell you, and we will apply for the credit; not charge you a flat 30% on the gross amount of the credit, and we will represent you if you get audited........
