Elders service
March 29, 2023

Elders service is needed. My mom had hearing problems and English is her third language that required me to clarify her the agent questions. The agent have asked me to stop clarifying her the questions due to the process.
Is there anyway to visit an office for personal identity check.

Things to know before you start...
April 28, 2023

1, I use my first name and married name on everything EXCEPT my social security card. I was young and I used my first name, the initial of my maiden name and my married name on my social security card. This cause computer glitches, because the names on my documents did not exactly match. There is an option for names that do not match. Use that. 2. I live in a remote area where mail is undeliverable so I must use a P.O. Box in my address. This also is not permitted. Not only did my name not match, my mailing address and my physical address did not match. 3. I ended up having to have video verification, which was more time consuming because it requires sending additional proof of identity. There is a considerable lapse between sending photos of your documents and having them accepted. Hit the "continue" button, then prepare to wait. It is continuing there just is no assurance that the continue command was recognized. An IRS chat specialist did get back to me within two hours.

Very frustrating because the automated process didn't work. I submitted photos of my driver's license twice, and of my passport once, and they all failed. That, however, got my application raised to personal attention by an actual person, which did work, and very quickly. That shouldn't be necessary.

The learning curve!
March 29, 2023

Lots of steps!
In the end, it was fine.
Good instructions, simple steps.
( I was not prepared for so much--- thought it would be "just a new password" type of thing)
Glad I was not pressed for time!
