Access Secure Messaging


WHO CAN USE SECURE MESSAGING

Taxpayers and authorized representatives invited by the IRS can use Secure
Messaging.


HOW SECURE MESSAGING WORKS

IRS Secure Messaging is similar to a web-based email service. Messages can be
securely sent to you by IRS employees. You can respond and attach documents
related to your TE/GE compliance activity.

When you have a secure message waiting for you, we send a notification email to
the address you provide on Form 15314, TE/GE Secure Messaging Taxpayer Agreement
Authorization of Disclosure to Designated UsersPDF. The notification includes a
link to the Secure Messaging center. To protect your privacy and prevent
identity theft, notification emails do not include taxpayer identifying
information.

The IRS saves all messages as a digital record of your communications with us.

 * Complete Form 15314PDF, including Appendix A, and return it to the IRS agent
 * Check your inbox for an IRS email and use the credentials to create a Secure
   Messaging account


HOW TO SHARE ACCESS WITH AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE

    authorization is not on file with the IRS, you can grant authorization
    online or complete and sign:
    * Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative or
    * Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization
       
 2. Add the authorized representative’s name to Appendix A and complete and sign
    Form 15314PDF
