It violates a persons's right to privacy. There's no reason why anyone should be asking people for their sexual preferences and or genders. Wether you're heterosexual or homosexual or bisexual, binary or nonbinary. Wether you were born a woman or man or something else. It should not be a requirement to answer any of these questions in order to access your personal account information.then you make matters worse by having a person certify that their review is real by checking a box under the threat of perjury! Really asinine!
Seems to be fine at this point I will need to review and understand what benefits program has to offer.

An amazing experience. I recommend to any one need transcript tax or other tax forms as soon as possible
It was friendly and ego to serve, very patient and attentive with a wonderful positive attitude
I'm 54 and Not the sharpest crayon in the box… yet this was a breeze. That says a lot. I was so very relieved.
Getting for the process would probably be easy for most people. The person doing the chat was very nice and it went quickly.
Is it too much to ask for my business with the government to remain between ourselves? Why is this private company inserting itself into basic functions of governance? I had to send them personal biometric data and jump through hoops in order to view my tax transcripts. I'm disappointed and appalled by everyone involved.
