Access ID
March 28, 2024

Following the steps required using smart phone was easy & OK, uploading the document to send the necessary paperwork was convoluted...the steps need to be clear & pictorial help would help immensely
Adding a statement to verify if " this link" was received would also be helpful

No customer service
March 26, 2024

I tried to access my account to set up a payment program for my taxes, but I couldn't sign in because the email address on the account was not mine. It looks like my account was hacked. I can't sign in, there is no number to call, the chat bot just won't let me talk to a live person and just redirects me to fill out a customer support ticket. I filled out a customer support ticket and a week later got an email. I answered all their questions. Two week later, never got a response and my account is still suspended. The worst by far customer service I have ever experienced.

Awful and Awful
March 24, 2024

Have been trying for one hour + to get verified so that I can get a copy of my 1099 form for 2023.
Have uploaded again and again documents and the system says - chose a way bla bla but gives no option to do anything. One time system said "verifying". Took 10 minutes and was rejected without providing a reason. Awful system and time consuming!
