Tax time is coming and if you need help, there's a new app from the IRS for that.

The app is called "IRS2Go 2.0." It's an expanded version of the IRS smart-phone application designed to provide taxpayers access to helpful information about their taxes.

You can get the latest news from the IRS, check on the status of a refund, order a tax return transcript, and even receive simple tips and reminders to help with tax planning and preparation.

The app is free and available at the Apple app store and the Android marketplace.
