New capability helps tax professionals complete more routine client tasks securely online

IR-2026-134, Nov. 6, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced that authorized tax professionals can now make certain payments on behalf of their business clients through Tax Pro Account.

The expansion allows tax professionals to complete more routine client payment tasks through the same secure online service they use to view client information and manage authorizations. Tax professionals previously could view business clients’ balances and payment activity in Tax Pro Account but could not a make payment on their behalf. 

“Expanding online services that enable tax professionals to do more for their clients advances the goal of making the IRS a digital-first agency,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. “For taxpayers who rely on tax professionals, this change will save time and make it easier for them to meet their tax obligations.”

Make payments for business clients

Through Tax Pro Account, authorized tax professionals can now make the following payments on behalf of business clients:

• Full or partial balance.
• Amended return.
• Extension.
• Proposed tax assessment.
• Federal tax deposit.

Tax professionals must have the appropriate authorization for the client and tax matters involved.
