Slow. I don't have much tax experience so I think they would all have been slow.

While at first I thought it was excessive and redundant, after going through the process I learned otherwise. It is simple step by step. Very easy to set up and very secure.

Fast, Simple, and Secure
April 2, 2023

Quick and painless to register to make all transactions more secure. Just needed to take photo of drivers license front and back. Also a selfie was required. App worked flawlessly. No problem. Nice to see the IRS have more safety features and more automation, bringing the tax system into 21st century.

Good to verify!

Not difficult questions but because of DMV insistence on using my maiden name as my middle name, there are snags when trying to verify.
