Needed Old Tax Returns

I have to amend some prior year tax returns and I didn't have the copies I needed. The verification process worked extremely well. I went straight through all steps on the first try. Once I got in I got everything I needed. It was a relief.

Easy, Fast and convenient
June 7, 2022

After 8 days waiting for the IRS to send me a certain form I needed and did not get it, and then being on the phone with the IRS for a couple hours and finally being told they have too many calls for the form I needed. Call back. I contacted Veri-Tax who could not help me either, but directed me to the proper site to get my own particular transcripts that tht bank needed. ID.me was fast, and I had by proper form in 15 minutes or less. Fabulous!
