It was easy pretty fast I must say, and no hassle at all.
My experience was quick, easy and secure. The IRS used secured links and 2-step verification processes that left me feeling confident that my information wouldn't be stolen. Verification of information took less than five minutes to process and confirmation that my information wouldn't be permanently stored.

After several unsuccessful attempts I simply clicked onto Help and was relieved to gain a positive response (actual Human contact!) which deftly guided through my dilemma, and left me satisfied by the eventual outcome: Stimulated upon stating my issues to your Helpline & will hopefully receive my (greatly anticipated) Stimulus Payment after the dense smoke (coming out of my ears) from this episode has cleared out!
