Poor (non-existent) telephone coverage
January 8, 2016

Called the contact number twice. Each time automatically placed on hold. After being on hold for over 45 minutes both times I gave up. Company did process the applications, but I had some questions. They never got answered directly.

Fraud
January 6, 2016

You are fraud. You represent yourself as the IRS and charge a fee that did not have to be incurred. We are filing a complaint with the commissioner's office

Application for EIN as Executor of a will
January 5, 2016

Excellent. I didn't have the decedent's Social Security card and it took three tries to
Match her name on her card with her SSN. The woman who walked through the process with me was patient and understanding and good humored about resubmitting my application

I'm very pleased with the quick and prompt service I received in getting my EIN number. I was in a bind where I needed that number for tax purposes and I got it within just a few days of submitting my information and making a payment. I would recommend this service to others in the future!

Wrong Tax ID
December 30, 2015

I had a horrible time trying to understand the agent. The agent told me the tax ID number was for an LLC and it was not. The paperwork I received had the LLC unchecked and stated it was not an LLC. So I paid 139.00 for nothing and I have to redo everything!

EIN application
December 22, 2015

Terrible. I had to wait a week before they complied. I needed the number for a non-profit corporation's application for tax-exempt status. They delayed it because they said their was a discrepancy between my name and my social security number. FALSE. Next they said I had not signed my electronic signature. FALSE. These delays aggravated a situation which should have been routine. I was on the verge of reporting them to BBB.
