I think you did very well, but after I was verified and felt secure that I was going to find out why I haven't received my refund IRS couldn't tell me and offered a site to obtain a transcript of my tax return:

http://sa.www4.irs.gov/icce-core/load/gettrans/pages/availableTranscripts.xhtml.

I went the site, but was blocked because the server I was using "wasn't authorized": DEAD END without results. SNAFU

Easy process
May 24, 2022

The process was easy to follow. However, the biometrics verification would not accept my PDF image of my driver's license (I understand it will only accept jpeg images) nor would it accept photos taken with my smartphone. What I thought would take 5-10 minutes to verify took 48 minutes to complete.

Agent was AMAZING!
September 14, 2022

I am a senior and the whole online process was hard and a bit nerve racking for me. However, the agent who helped me was patient, actually beyond patient, as I was so unaware of how to proceed. He managed to walk me through it even though it wasn't always easy for me to understand. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate his help and what a great job he did!
