Terrible
July 24, 2023

Could not get past the photograph of my drivers license - although it was clear and all the information was legible - I was persistently asked to take another photograph - in the end I gave up after countless attempts!

Not Easy for Some Old Men
June 24, 2023

I'm 85 years old and not a pro smartphone user and it took me longer than it should have. They had to use the ultimate solution, ZOOM, to deal with me. The IRS has hinted at setting up a new account for some time, but little did I know. The young techies will love the pocess.
