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!

My account was suspended for an as yet unknown reason. I have submitted a ticket per their instruction. So far, crickets. An absolutely worthless service provider.

Wish I could give zero stars
March 22, 2024

As a provider for our military Veterans, I have been trying to gain access to my account for over 5 weeks. Nothing but automated responses, obviously not reading my words that I reply with or anything that I am trying to get across as to what the issues are. The absolute worst I have ever had to deal with. It is an endless hamster wheel of ineptitude and am beyond frustrated and have had zero help with getting my account issue resolved. Lots of back and forth with the same answers over and over again. This is causing a terrible delay in care for our Veterans. 5 weeks, and still no resolution in sight. HORRIBLE.
