Resource Directory
Official tax resources & links
A vetted directory of the official IRS and California government sites you'll actually use — accounts, payments, forms, and records. Bookmark this page.
Stay safe: use only the official government sites below, and type these addresses yourself rather than clicking links in emails or texts. The IRS and California tax agencies will never email, text, call, or message you on social media to demand payment or personal information — if you receive a message like that, it’s a scam.
