No Coded Gaze?
December 8, 2023

Creating an IRS login account was a first for me. A photo ID had to be confirmed by facial-scanning technology. I would have liked a confirmation from the IRS that my data and image would be secure and protected from hackers and misuse.

Horrible Tool.
December 15, 2023

My experience was one of the most frustrating that I've ever been through. It took over a week to get a live agent, and the system is horribly designed. Terrible experience. Do anything you can to avoid using it

I am offended at the degree of intrusion into privacy just to access the IRS for a payment plan. If someone wants to impersonate me to pay my taxes- LET THEM. User name and password is all that was necessary. That this is a civilian vendor is another affront. The extremely long 'privacy notice' and 'terms of use' is ridiculous. The disclosure of my information to vague "third party partners" is definitely concerning to me. Big Brother and 1984 is definitely here!

Easy to navigate
December 8, 2023

Took me all of about 5 minutes to sign up. Since I am a 41 year LEO I was a little hesitant to provide my SSN put then I thought, I trust Primary Arms and went ahead and moved forward, so for no issues at all and substantial savings!
