Fast and easy
April 11, 2024

It was good overall but nothing short and simple. What doesn't make sense is you need at least 50 words to send this.

Great tool to use for IRS needs
April 11, 2024

I found the tool very useful to gain access to the IRS site. This allowed me to check on some items. Using the ID.me was fairly simple, just take your time. I'm glad the IRS is using a 3rd party for ID verification.

A nightmare
April 11, 2024

The absolute most ridiculous nightmare ever experienced. Brook me over 30 days, over 35 different log ins, and countless hours of literal insanity to finally succeed in what obviously should be simple five minute process.

Having ID.me gate-keep to using the IRS.gov account is absolutely horrible. Calling the IRS is almost, not an option unless you wait hours per day and get lucky. So to have another point of failure to trying to pay taxes absolutely sucks then when there are non-descriptive error codes. Just an error code and they point you to their inadequate support guide. Attempting to open a support ticket is a joke as I never heard back. I had to do dozens of attempt to verify my documents and scour their support guide, only to figure it out on my own. Trying to pay taxes should not be this difficult.

WOW Customer Service
April 11, 2024

I was a little annoyed that it was taking so long to recover my account due to updates in my profile, but once I got connected on the live chat with Jordan it was a done deal. He provided the best customer service and it was so fast and easy. Thank you Jordan!

Still lost
April 11, 2024

I filled for my 2023 refund.and I received a letter in my mail advising me to come to this site and provide license and face recognition and AGI number.I did that.and it's the last page after providing all that information says " IRS records indicate that a return has been filed using your identity. Criminals attempt to file a fraudulent return and claim a tax refund under a stolen identity. By letting us know you're a victim of identity theft, the refund will not be issued.
If you were planning to file a tax return this tax season, you will not be able to file electronically and will need to mail your paper return by April 15,2024. To find where to file your return, go to Where To File Paper Tax Returns" and now I don't understand what to do next
