The experience was extremely fast, secure and very convenient. The agent showed great patience and professionalism. Trying to reach or handle business with the IRS can be sometimes frustrating especially when it comes to providing the proper paperwork or verification. I.

Very patient
September 3, 2022

I had a lot of difficulty because I was working on a laptop that did not have an operational camera. The ID me agent called me on my cell phone and worked me through the process. She was very patient and understanding of the difficulties on my end and it took only a minute or so for her to complete the process!
