What a waste of time.
November 15, 2023

Useless. After a worthless and confusing and lengthy process of total 100% verification the IRS still doesnt agree that I am me and denied my login to my IRS account completely even after I provided CADL SS Card and BIRTH CERT as well as facial recognition pictures and a live video chat with an operator (took 2 attempts at that). I feel violated.

Had my Reservations
October 16, 2023

I'm living with my brother in another country, another continent and sometimes find it difficult to do things in the USA. I'm hoping this will make it easier for me to get some things done. I had no idea that there would be someone from the USA talking to me via a digital camera. I'm glad the info said to have your ID ready to show that I had them in hand and we accomplished the verification so quickly. Thank you.

Good experience.
October 16, 2023

I was very satisfied because they answered all my questions and doubts. They were patient with me since I'm not very good in English. In the call they took their time and not rush for an answer. At the end, i understood what they explained. I was very satisfied with the interview.

Fast and Friendly Agent
October 16, 2023

After being unable to submit my info via smartphone I had to try the video chat agent method.
The agent was professional and courteous and extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be done and how to do it on my end. She was patient and kind, always was smiling and didn't make me feel like an idiot. I appreciate it.

EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED!
November 15, 2023

There is ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBLE WAY to get a live person on the phone to help you in real time. Not even a phone number. And the chat is only able to help with a few issues so a live person is often necessary.
