Excellent Service
July 29, 2022

Great customer service. Enjoyed the experience. It was quick and to the point. Glad this avenue was available. I have a favorite big box store and at times I will not visit until it is absolutely necessary. Long checkout lines or not enough cashiers for the volume of customers at certain times of the day. This experience was exceptional.

Easy verification process
July 27, 2022

I was really amazed that this process was so simple. I started trying to verify my military affiliation last year, but had computer issues going on and just did not get around to it. If I had only known how simple this was, I would have done it a long time ago.

So Easy and Quick!
July 27, 2022

I originally called the IRS but was told I would have to wait an hour to speak to an agent. I decided to go on the website and it was the best decision! It was so fast and easy. I am so pleased with the experience I had.
