How do I reset my IRS e‑Services password now that the IRS uses ID.me?

Neil Vicente

FAQs about the ID.me process.

Highligts
  • The IRS now requires all tax professionals to access e‑Services and online tools using an ID.me account.
  • Password and sign-in issues are handled through ID.me, not directly through IRS e‑Services or the IRS itself.
  • Once your ID.me account is working, you can immediately return to IRS online tools, including e‑file provider services and Tax Pro Account.
The IRS no longer lets you manage e‑Services or most online tax pro tools with a standalone IRS username and password. To sign in to e‑Services and other IRS online applications, you now use an ID.me account. That means password and sign‑in problems are handled through ID.me, not directly through IRS e‑Services.

Below is a step‑by‑step guide for tax professionals who:

  • Need to get back into e‑Services or other IRS online tools (like the e‑file application, TDS, Tax Pro Account, etc.), and
  • Can’t remember their password or can’t sign in because of ID.me issues.
