Does US Internal Revenue Service support 2FA?

irs.govGovernmentNot yet

US Internal Revenue Service does not currently support authenticator-app (TOTP) two-factor authentication. US Internal Revenue Service does offer 2FA via SMS text message, phone call, a security key and its own app — better than nothing, but an authenticator app is the more secure option if US Internal Revenue Service adds it.

2FA methods US Internal Revenue Service supports

  • SMS text message
  • Phone call
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  • Proprietary app

US Internal Revenue Service does not offer an authenticator-app (TOTP) option yet. Authenticator apps are safer than SMS, so it's worth requesting.

How to keep your US Internal Revenue Service account secure

Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method US Internal Revenue Service offers, and stay alert to phishing. See US Internal Revenue Service's official security documentation ↗. If US Internal Revenue Service adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use MS Authenticator App.
