I received incredible attention, the young woman who received my call did not know Spanish and tried to speak at my own pace so that I could interpret what she was trying to tell me. At the end we ended up contacting a person to interpret the language, I am very satisfied!.

This is not the IRS
April 27, 2024

The site was too easy to use. I looked and looked to make sure this was the IRS i was giving my information to but apparently it is not. So now am concerned about the security of my information.

I'd say avoid this mess if you could, but they're your only option for interacting with a bunch of government agencies. Pretty sweet racket, really.

Worst site imaginable
April 26, 2024

Took three different browsers and at least eight different attempts to "verify" my identity. I might as well have stood in line at the Social Security office.

I found myself on the last day (4/15) for tax filing - again. I had worked all night at my job, & was dreading being up most if the day to beat the deadline, AND to have to leave home & be out for hours at the library. BUT, I remembered seeing something about a pilot program for 12 states, one of them mine, from the IRS website. So, I tentatively went online & started looking. I found the section h began. One step succeeded after another, & all from the comfort & ease of my living room chair. I was stunned that I could access a program that actually led me very easily through every single action, bc I am NOT computer savvy & I run into many obstacles that I cannot overcome. But ID.ME was PERFECT! I could not have asked for ANY easier means to DO MY TAXES BY MYSELF! (Well, ID.ME helped!) Friends, ALL DONE, & I NEVER left my home! Never went to the post office. WHEW! I think I love these guys!

They charged me twice!
April 26, 2024

I was charged twice which caused my checking account to overdraw. I incurred a $33 fee from my bank to stop payment for the second charge. Don't use this service!

Fast and convenient
April 26, 2024

The platform was easy to use even for a dinosaur like me. With the tax deadline looming, I was able to set up my account easily and quickly to access the documents I needed. There were no hiccups, crashes or errors. The verification set up was one seamless and I highly recommend others to set up their accounts.
