Absolute waste of time!
April 21, 2025

I tried for two days to verify my identity just to submit my Pennsylvania state income tax form. I uploaded my driver license AND passport and they still required a video chat. The idiot said he couldn't see me and kept telling me to allow access to my camera. It was ON!

It was very unsatisfying. Why was this made so complicated? I hope throughout this process. I have answered all the questions your survey asked. I think what I gave is too much information.

Humiliating Experience
April 21, 2025

I never felt so exposed and violated than when I went through the process of setting up an account so I could access my Social Security account. I have never given biometric information anywhere and I felt forced without another option. It's done, I cannot undo but I feel like I lost a freedom.

Difficulty logging in constantly. Horrible security. I have an ID. Me for work and I was forced to use it for my personal dealing about something very not work related and it would not allow me to set up a personal account. I am expecting to get hacked because no company this bulky and inefficient can be effective. IF this is technology making my life easier, then we are screwed.

"A Very Terrible Experience".
April 21, 2025

Please try and correct address error when you only get one shot making contact with ID. Me and trying to reach ID. Me again on the phone line is none existent, try going through the day knowing that their is a mistake via the computer system W/IRS and absolutely nothing is important but that call again when you have that information, like saying if this is a life threatening emergency please hang -up and dial (911). Just lots and lots of systematic error.
