Business tax account

You can view your tax information on record with the IRS and do more with a business tax account. 

Sole proprietors

At this time, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that accounts for business income on a Schedule C does not have access to BTA. 

A sole proprietor who files business tax returns with an employer identification number (EIN) can access these features:

Partnerships and S-Corps

An individual partner or individual shareholder may access their business account if they have both of these:

  • A Social Security number or an individual tax ID number (ITIN) 
  • At least 1 Schedule K-1 (for partners, from 2012-2022; for shareholders, from 2006-2022) on file

With this, they may access these features for the tax years when they received their Schedule K-1 (access for additional tax years coming soon):

Business tax account versus online account

Use business tax account if you file business tax returns as a sole proprietor with an EIN. For example: Form 941 for employment taxes or Form 2290 for highway use tax.

Use online account if you file personal tax returns with your Social Security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). For example: Form 1040 for individual income tax.
