Not a good experience
March 1, 2016

I was not happy with this experience. I called in and that process was ok, agent was a little pushy, and in the process some how the ss # was put in wrong. The agent had given me the 24- hour price but was going to process it like a 1- hour price which was very nice but not when it turned into over a 24-hour ordeal. So not so sure if that was done intentionally so we did not get the discount anyway. The main complaint is when trying to call back in to get this situation taken care of was absolutely ridiculous. I was on the phone 3 times and waited over 30 mins each time. The second time the agent told me after I explained the situation, and had raise my voice to do that, she said she was going to go ahead and help us and again was on hold again for over 30 mins and finally hung up. I should have not paid any money for this service, it is not customer friendly and I feel I should be refunded some or all of the money that was supposed to make this an easier process.

I was led to believe that I would receive the form I need to deposit a check to the estate account. Can you e-mail the confirmation because the bank says it needs the actual confirmation, not just the number, before they can set up account? I paid your fee because I did not want to wait the 4 weeks. If you cannot e-mail me the confirmation, I paid your fee for nothing.

Suckered into using your services
February 22, 2016

John was very nice but you have usurped the IRS online services in a very sneaky way. I could have done this online myself for no charge but you charge $109 and make it seem as though you are connected to the IRS. I am very upset and the promised information has not been delivered and I cannot download my SS4 form. You are not to be trusted. You do not answer your help line. YOu are a fraud.

Would be more user friendly and convenient if the application plates
Had a "PRINT" selection box as well.
Otherwise, Anthony provided excellent customer service today to facilitate the
Application and receipt of a much needed EIN due to a recent death in our family.
Thanks to him and your company.

Confused
February 17, 2016

Operator was polit. But I felt taken advantage of after I found out from an IRS employee that I could have gotten this FREE but wasn't given a choice. Yes I understand it is a business and you are out for the almighty dollar, but $99.00 for something that is free is a little far fetched. I wouldn't be so bothered about this had I been given a return phone call after I had called and left 3 messages. No return call, no email, no acknowledgment at all. Very very disheartening. I have my EI N but I had to call BBB and a few other people to make sure I wasn't being dooped. I am currently headed to my bank to make sure this company does not have any access to my bank account to wipe me out. I would not feel this way had someone in the company been decent enough to return a phone call or send an email. My rating would have been so much higher had more contact had been made after you state if there are any questions or if I have any problems to please call the company, obviously this is just read from a script and printed on your site to take up space and time.
