I was surprised talking with the person that was taking care of me with my taxes
... please stop! I have a family and don't know what you guys want. I just want you to know I spent that stimulus money one household appliances through a local businesses... And the 2021 taxes ******* half were coming back to you. Can you release those so I can pay off Fulton county IL an no owe you money..
It was quick and rewarding thank you guys very much for fixing my problem
Just had to verify a log in to get my previous tax return to do this years? Weird ordeal, at first I was annoyed but then my host Leann made me feel so great and like it was just EASY! Had to virtually verify my identity. People like Leeann deserve multiple raises a year!
My experience was great. The ease of answering the questions was like a cakewalk.
Strongly Satisfied for the service and assistance.
It was hard to get a hold of agent then it was fast
I will be satisfied when they help me. Because I need help
I was satisfy and I'm happy, and will let my family and friends to be part
Awful, 2 hours of calls, zooms, texts, chats rooms, 2 agents all to get me verified. The codes never worked!
I would highly recommend using ID.ME. I was a victim of a fraudulent unemployment claim. Thankfully with their help, I was able to reclaim my identity.
Nice, strong and secure because it provides security apart from a series of access and the way to test the validation of the information.
Older people (I'm 75) are not as computer savvy as younger people. Not everyone is able to take photos, place them in a folder, retrieve them and send them to others. Some people do not know how to take video selfies and send them to other people. Some people do not know about preparing taxes or even know how to read tax returns. All very confusing.
Please IRS make it simpler...
