Tax season
April 15, 2023

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!

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.

My opinion - too difficult
May 15, 2023

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...
