Need tax help? Here are some handy ways the IRS is making filing returns as easy as possible.

It’s tax season, when a lot of important documents come in the mail and witty TV commercials hype tax-preparation software.

Returns can start to be filed on Jan. 29, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has updated its website to make filing taxes as easy as possible. Using this link, you can:

  • Create an online account allowing you to access your tax records, including viewing taxes owed and payments made.
  • Check your withholding to make sure it is sufficient. The IRS provides a tax withholding estimator.
  • Get your refund as soon as possible by electronically filing a tax return and having the refund directly deposited into your bank account.
  • Organize your tax records and get an Identity Protection PIN.
