Confusing, annoying, and mysterious
December 31, 2024

The title says it all. The process got mixed in with my trying to pay an estimated tax payment online. Now that I have successfully completed it, I don't know what it's good for or how to use it.

Making a necessary change easy.
December 31, 2024

I am of the No. 2 pencil generation, and have not bothered, or more correctly been bothered by having to embrace the internet world. It's break to download books, or make a reservation but I didn't need or want anything more. Then the VA and SSA required new methods of logging in. Having to navigate this totally bewildering process; getting 6 digit codes every other step, taking, downloading and uploading photos of you identifying credentials, then having them verified was a chilling proposition. Thankfully the help desk, staffed with personable proficient people can talk you through each and every step to get you verified as being you, and allow you to communicate with both Federal and State entities.

Doesn't work
December 31, 2024

Typical Government inefficiency. They force you to use this method and then it doesn't work. I'd rather go back to the traditional login methods. After going through ID verification steps l couldn't get into the IRS website anymore because of stupid error codes. Technology sucks.
