IR-2026-97, Aug. 20, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced a digitally authenticated Tax Compliance Report available through IRS Individual Online Account. 

Taxpayers can securely obtain and download the report when applying for a job, a loan, a government benefit, or another service that requires tax compliance information. 

Financial institutions, government agencies, and other organizations that receive the report can use its built-in digital certificate to confirm its authenticity. The certificate also helps protect taxpayer information and maintains the integrity of the report. 

“By providing a secure, digitally authenticated report, the IRS is making it easier for taxpayers to access and share important information while protecting privacy and data integrity,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano.

• Built-in verification: Verification features are embedded directly in the downloadable file.
• On-demand access: Taxpayers can access and download their report at any time through their IRS Individual Online Account.
