I needed to confirm my identity to create my account with the IRS. The platform, instructions, and requirements were mostly clear. But, since I don't have a US phone number, the process was slowed down significantly. It took about 1.5 hours. The customer support chat provided critical assistance when one of my docs was rejected with no explanation given, and I was able to complete the process, which was the goal, and definitely worth the time spent.
