Easy as Pie
October 30, 2022

This is a great system—and bodes well for the future of the IRS and how it functions in modern society. Fast, easy and makes so much sense. I needed previous W2s for a pre approval—they are all archived and easily accessible. It is so much easier to do from a computer than a mobile device, however. Excellent!

The site is too slow
November 29, 2022

Uploading the needed documents was painfully slow. They stated it would take 5-10 minutes but it took at least 20. The phone rep was great and efficient. Five stars for her.

I'm satisfied so far the way it responds to me

It's my first time the only thing I say is why I filed my income tax already and I have been waiting for my refund still it's not coming!

But I use this and assured that it's me and I'm happy because they talk to me on video for confirmation of everything that you dont need to go outside Now I'm waiting after I pass my ids verification with my video
I appreciate it thank you!
I just hope to get my refund soon mostly in time I need it the most.
