I was a little reluctant about sharing my personal information with the agent as there are so many scams going around however the agent was very professional and patient and articulated what was needed very well he completely put my mind at ease about my doubts using the system.

Extremely helpful
June 27, 2023

I really needed to verify my past tax payment info and was able to finally sign in after trying over and over during tax season. Since it took a bunch of attempts then, I put it off. I didn't think it was going to work and I imagined I was going to need to go down to the IRS office and stand in some long line to verify my identity! But luckily, we were able to do it over video chat in combination with uploading documents. It was painless. Fast. And it was late at night, which was the only time I had to do this!

Fast easy secure
June 27, 2023

Very satisfying and easy to use. I liked the fact that they asked for my drivers license or some form of ID. Then scanned my face to verify. This made me feel secure about my account.

Horrible experience
July 27, 2023

I got into this while signing into IRS.
This site asked me to take the photos of driver license—front and back.
Loading them was a nightmare because of instructions were hidden somewhere down below, out of frame.

Make it so that no one else besides that person verifying has questions to answer to make sure it's the right person.
