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.
A horrible experience stressful and just cried a 3*

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.
