Designated Officials must revalidate their Business Tax Account by July 29 or risk losing access

FS-2025-04, July 23, 2025

The Internal Revenue Service reminds Business Tax Account (BTA) users that Designated Officials must revalidate their accounts by the July 29 deadline in order to maintain access.

Designated Officials who do not revalidate their accounts by July 29, 2025, will need to request access to the account again, either as a Designated Official or other user type.

Revalidation requires a W-2 for the most recent tax filing year or proof that they can legally bind an entity for tax purposes.

To revalidate, Designated Officials must log in to their BTA account.

What features will be added to BTA in the future?

 

When fully developed, BTA will be a robust online self-service tool allowing many types of business taxpayers and other entities to check their tax history, make payments, view notices, authorize powers of attorney and conduct other business with the IRS.
