Takes time, but it works
November 8, 2022

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.

It was a great experience. I am very grateful that this new system is in place. I was unable to get to the unemployment office do to it being to far away. And the 2 people who assisted me did an awesome job.
Thank you

Iw was exhilarating. I knew I was going to be put through the ringer AFTER they threw me a curve ball when I applied last month. I wasn't expecting any back pay to March which would give me seven x $1,400 minus 4000 HRA 1000 debts I'd still clear $6000.
