It's like driving through Chick Fil A
October 12, 2022

These folks have this process figured out! This was step 1 of my contact with the IRS and had me fooled thinking it would all be handled this easily. Maybe the IRS could hire ID.me to handle some of their communications.
Signed...
Still on hold with the IRS after 2 hours and 1 hang up.
