I needed to get my AGI from last year so that I could file my taxes on time. I created my account without any problems and once I did that, was able to access my information right away.

Slow and time consuming
May 17, 2023

Good luck trying to get verified. Codes never seem to get sent,and after they do you have to take a picture of your driver's license, FRONT AND BACK,thenwait again while they supposedly send codes to check your phone, then your email. And to top it off a selfie of you.

Terrible experience
May 17, 2023

Self verification failed for no clear reason, so was forced to go through video verification. Long wait times at several stages (and inaccurate estimates of wait times) before connecting to a video verification agent. This apart from concerns about sharing this much personal and biometric information with a private company that I cannot tell comes under any regulatory body to ensure it's security and use. There needs to be way to log into IRS without going through this terrible service.

Face has to match your idenity this should be done with on line banking also. That way you could stop a lot of fraud.

The way to secure connections
April 17, 2023

The photo ID uploads took a bit of time, since I had never done that before but everyone was patient and helpful. The security is far superior to other connections I have used.

Fast and easy
April 17, 2023

It was fast and easy to complete the ID verification. And it seemed secure with several ways to confirm. I was hoping to get more information about the payments I've made, but it was basically a good experience.
