How to Cancel IRS2Go and Get a Refund
IRS2Go subscriptions are billed through Apple or Google, not inside the app, so you cancel them in your store settings. Below are the steps for both iPhone and Android, how to request a refund, and what users report about IRS2Go billing.

- 1Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- 2Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID.
- 3Tap Subscriptions to see every app that bills you through Apple.
- 4Find IRS2Go in the list and tap it. If it is not there, you may have subscribed through the app itself or a different Apple ID.
- 5Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. You keep access to IRS2Go until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.

How to get a refund for IRS2Go
Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge you already paid. Request the refund from the store separately.
Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the IRS2Go charge, choose Request a refund, pick a reason and submit.
Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the IRS2Go purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.

IRS2Go cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling IRS2Go stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date IRS2Go will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from IRS2Go?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by IRS2Go directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the IRS2Go charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is IRS2Go still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows IRS2Go as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my IRS2Go account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the IRS2Go app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to IRS2Go right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to IRS2Go until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
