Taking care of a loved one is an act of compassionβ€”but if you’re paid to provide that care, there may also be tax responsibilities to understand.

Whether a family caregiver is considered a household employee or self-employed depends on the specific situation. In many cases, an in-home caregiver is considered an employee of the person receiving care. However, special rules may apply when the caregiver is a spouse, child, parent, or minor.

If caregiving is provided as part of an established businessβ€”such as a caregiver serving multiple clientsβ€”self-employment tax may apply. In other situations, payments may still need to be reported as income even when self-employment tax does not apply.

Before filing, be sure to review the IRS guidance or speak with a qualified tax professional to understand the requirements that apply to your family’s situation.

The official IRS app makes it easier to securely access key tax information and account services from your mobile device.

Available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, the free app replaces the former IRS2Go app. Current IRS2Go users with automatic updates turned on should receive the new IRS app through the normal update process.

With the official IRS app, taxpayers may be able to:

Check refund and amended-return status

View available balance information

Make payments and review payment activity

View select IRS notices and letters

Access certain tax records and transcripts

Manage some profile and communication preferences

Retrieve an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN)

For your security, download the app only through verified IRS links or the official Apple App Store or Google Play listing. Be cautious of look-alike apps, ads, and unexpected texts or emails. The IRS will not ask for sensitive personal or financial information through an unsolicited message.

Learn more and find verified download links at IRS.gov/app.

Taxpayers have the right to choose someone they trust to represent them when working with the IRS. This important protection is part of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
An authorized representative may include an attorney, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), enrolled agent, or another qualified individual permitted to practice before the IRS. In most cases, taxpayers may have their representative handle IRS interviews and discussions on their behalf.
If representation is not affordable, help may be available through a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC).

Knowing your rights can help you feel more prepared and confident when resolving a tax matter.

πŸŒ€ Lost important records after a disaster? You may still be able to rebuild the documentation you need for taxes, insurance claims, or federal disaster assistance.

Here are a few helpful steps:

βœ… Replace tax records: Access or request tax transcripts through your IRS Individual Online Account, by mail, by phone at 800-908-9946, or with Form 4506-T.

βœ… Check financial records: Banks and credit-card companies may have past statements available online or by request.

βœ… Document personal property: Use photos, videos, receipts, canceled checks, warranties, and online pricing information to help show what was lost and its value.

βœ… Rebuild home records: Contact your title company, lender, county assessor, contractors, or probate attorney for property documents, improvement records, or historical value information.

βœ… Research vehicle value: Check fair-market-value resources online or ask the dealership where you purchased the vehicle for a copy of the sales contract.

If you are in a federally declared disaster area, log in to your IRS Individual Online Account for personalized information about available tax relief, including possible extended filing and payment deadlines.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

πŸ“„ Need a copy of your tax records or transcripts?

Taxpayers may need tax information when filing a return, applying for a mortgage or loan, completing financial aid paperwork, or handling other important life events.

The IRS offers several types of transcripts free of charge:

βœ… Tax Return Transcript
Shows most items from your original Form 1040-series return, including forms and schedules. Available for the current and three prior tax years.

βœ… Tax Account Transcript
Shows basic tax information, including filing status, taxable income, payment types, and changes made after the original return was filed. Generally available for the current and nine prior tax years.

βœ… Record of Account Transcript
Combines the tax return and tax account transcripts. Available for the current and three prior tax years.

βœ… Wage and Income Transcript
Shows information reported to the IRS from Forms W-2, 1098, 1099, 5498, and other information returns. Available for the current and nine prior tax years.

βœ… Verification of Non-Filing Letter
Confirms that the IRS has no record of a processed Form 1040-series return for a specific year. This does not determine whether a tax return was required.

How to request a transcript
You can:

πŸ”Ή Use your IRS Individual Online Account to view, print, or download transcripts.
πŸ”Ή Order a transcript by mail or call 800-908-9946. Delivery typically takes 5–10 calendar days.
πŸ”Ή Submit Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return.

Please note: A transcript is not a photocopy of your original tax return. To request an actual copy, submit Form 4506. Processing fees and times may apply.
