It keeps sending me a notification to reset my password after it states it is done
Nothing I state here will make any difference. Just so you you might stop and think... I started programming in 1977. I'm an engineer (electrical) and have been a software 30 years. I learned many years back to design software with a convention (same look and feel) so it will be intuitive. Further ALWAYS test your work using subjects that are unfamiliar with your interface to get understanding from a user's point of view. This will always benefit the developer with the functional aspects of the software.
Before I'd talked to an agent! All of the delays & misdirections I got myself in from trying to verify my identity to access my account! Everything is ok, I appreciate it & I thank You!
It was awesome experience. It makes getting my important information faster than calling in. I don't have to keep waiting for it to come through the mail anymore.
Great service. Was very helpful, quick service with the person. Was able to connect with the agent and verified my identity real fast.plus it was on a Sunday night.
I had to go online and upload a picture of license and do a video call and when I sign in is still says there was a fraudulent filing of my tax return which I don't believe true. I'm now I have to call in to try to get this resolved to proceed with my taxes which will take more time.
I had fun doing it. At first it was hard for me because I was not sure which box should I check to continue doing it right. Until finally I did it right. Thanks!
Great secure sign in method. Never had any issues using it.
The protocols were rigorous, safe and secure but not unduly so. I felt very comfortable that my information was still confidential and the process only took about 10 minutes. Very well thought out.
I needed to check my identity as I was threatened by this identity theft issues and my daughter helped me process it and it was very easy!
Thank you!
