The IRS announced yesterday it is releasing IRS2GO, a smartphone app available for IPhones at the Apple App Store, and for Android at the Android Marketplace.  IRS2GO is free.

With the app, taxpayers can easily check the status of their refund and subscribe to a daily tax tip from the IRS.  The refund app works for e-filed returns within 72 hours.  Paper returns need 3-4 weeks for processing.

The newly hip IRS is also running a Twitter feed at @IRSnews.
