2026 Online Tax Filing & Payment Guides

Written by Hawkins Ash

Managing your taxes today often means navigating multiple online systems—at the federal and state levels. To make that process easier, Hawkins Ash CPAs has created a set of practical, downloadable guides to help individuals confidently file, pay, and track their taxes online.

These guides bring together the most commonly used federal and state tax tools in one place, with direct links to official government resources.

 

What’s Included

We’ve created three separate guides so you can easily access the information that applies to you:

Federal (IRS) Guide

Your Guide to Filing, Paying, and Tracking Federal Taxes Online in 2026
Covers IRS tools for electronic filing, direct deposit, online payments, estimated taxes, refund tracking, and IRS online accounts.

Wisconsin Guide

Your Guide to Filing, Paying, and Tracking Wisconsin Taxes Online in 2026
Highlights Wisconsin Department of Revenue tools for state filing, payments, estimated taxes, refund status, and My Tax Account access.

Minnesota Guide

Your Guide to Filing, Paying, and Tracking Minnesota Taxes Online in 2026
Outlines Minnesota Department of Revenue resources for state payments, estimated taxes, refund tracking, and e-Services.

 

How to Use the Guides

For most taxpayers, we recommend starting with the Federal (IRS) Guide, then reviewing the state guide that applies to you. Each guide includes direct links to official government websites with step-by-step instructions and secure access to online services.

These resources are designed to be helpful not only during filing season, but throughout the year—especially for estimated payments and account management.
