IRS Newswire February 9, 2026 Issue Number:    IR-2026-22 Inside This Issue IRS announces next expansion of Tax Pro Account to support tax professional businesses Latest release advances IRS efforts to expand digital tools, reduce paper, and improve service IR-2026-22, Feb. 9, 2026 WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced a new expansion of Tax Pro Account, introducing business-level digital capabilities for tax professionals who work in tax-preparation companies, accounting firms, or other organizations. The latest enhancements give tax-professional businesses greater visibility and control over their Centralized Authorization File relationship, helping organizations that serve larger numbers of taxpayers manage authorizations more efficiently while reducing paper-based processes. These updates establish the digital foundation for future expansions supporting tax professionals. Sole proprietorships and other businesses that do not use CAF systems are not impacted by this change. "This taxpayer favorable change will improve the way tax-professional businesses serve their clients," said IRS CEO Frank J. Bisignano. "The improvement demonstrates that the IRS continues investing in technology improvements that reduce paper submissions, streamline taxpayer interactions, and expand self-service digital options." What's new in this release This release allows designated business representatives to: Manage business CAF access, including specifying which employees are authorized to act under the business CAF. Link the business CAF number to the company's Employer Identification Number through their Tax Pro Account. View taxpayer information associated with the business CAF within the scope of active authorizations. View and withdraw active authorizations on behalf of the tax professional business. Building on enhancements delivered in 2023 and 2024 that expanded digital authorization management and "act on behalf of" capabilities for individual clients, this release extends Tax Pro Account beyond sole practitioners to support tax professionals who operate as part of a business entity using a business CAF number. About Tax Pro Account Launched in July 2021, Tax Pro Account provides individual tax professionals with a secure, intuitive digital experience to: Manage authorization relationships with taxpayers. Link or request individual CAF numbers. View taxpayer information such as balance due, payment activity, and audit status. Make payments or create payment plans on behalf of individual taxpayers.
