How did we ever function in the past?
July 26, 2016

This process went well, and it was simplified. I marvel however, how far down the slippery slope of red tape since I was born in 1938. How did we manage to get anything done in those days of yesteryear? The future doesn't look too good either.

This was the easiest part of dealing with my mom's estate. Who would think the federal government could do a better job than banks, credit unions, mutual funds and others I had to deal with in closing out her accounts and distributing the funds to her beneficiaries. Thank You.

Simple
February 1, 2018

I really like the new process for the Fed Tax ID. Much simpler and faster, its about time! Only problem is that I messed up on the form and put the wrong email. I called a day later and all the service agent did was argue with me. He said that I had signed it already and that it must've come through my email for me to sign. Well I signed it right away after I filled it out during the online process. He was more hung up on proving me wrong than getting the problem solved. My fault originally but the guy could've been a bit nicer. The speed of the new system overshadows the agent though, well done government. Now can you get to work on fixing everything else?!

This was so quick and easy! I thought the process was going to take me hours to complete but I was delighted to see that it took no more than 10 minutes out of my day!

I was an executive with a multi-national company until retiring a few years ago. I purchased property in Kansas from my mothers estate. The farms have been in our family for many decades. We farm 200 acres and have leases for grazing and oil on approx. 300 acres.

Thanks for the simplicity, forms were easy to fill out with pop question and answers to the side. I didn't have a lot of information on hand but I only needed the essentials, business name, address, basic functions, and services

Scared
June 7, 2016

I; m scared. I sent in my drivers license, much to my dismay to get a copy of my sons social security card. He is incarcerated and needs his copy right away. I could not find it in his wallet that he gave me when he went away. Please tell me you are a legit site?

Debbie V.,

Yes, we are a legitimate private entity that offers our services to clients who want or need assistance with preparing an accurate and complete application for a new or replacement card from the Social Security Administration. We have helped over 200,000+ customers just like you and we would love the opportunity to assist you but are unfortunately unable to locate your order solely using the screen name you have provided along with this review. The SSA states that they accept applications for social security cards either in person or by mail provided the applicant qualifies for the mail in option. We offer a preparation package in order to assist customers who would like to apply for a card from the SSA by mail. The SSA requires proof of identity as well as several other things along with the SS5 form -- which they readily accept by mail -- in order to process an application, offering qualifying individuals an opportunity to complete this process without having to appear in person. We prepare and supply customized instructions to each client as to the list of required original documents (or copies certified by the agency that issued them) the SSA asks be sent directly to them for such processing. We offer as part of our preparation package, a prepaid label -- addressed to your nearest social security office -- to facilitate mailing your documents to them. We do not instruct our clients to send their documents to our company as we do not process applications, generate or issue social security cards. If you have utilized the prepaid label you received as part of your preparation package to mail your supporting documents, then your shipment has been addressed to the nearest social security office to you.

If you have any additional questions regarding this process or our company, we invite you to visit our Privacy Policy, FAQ section or contact us directly at 888-629-8008 or at support@govsimplified.com. An agent is available to assist you over the phone, M-F 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM EST.

Poor (non-existent) telephone coverage
January 8, 2016

Called the contact number twice. Each time automatically placed on hold. After being on hold for over 45 minutes both times I gave up. Company did process the applications, but I had some questions. They never got answered directly.

Mike A.,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our extended hold time. Our peak hours of operation can at times lead to unusually long hold times for our customers. We are happy to have been able to help you and appreciate the opportunity to process your applications. We would love to speak with you but unfortunately we have been unable to locate your account simply using your user name, therefore we ask that you contact us directly at 888-629-9001where an agent is able to assist you M-F 9:00-7:00PM EST. We look forward to hearing from you.

This is the last place I would recommend to anyone to seek assistance with. If I could give 0 stars I would. My strong advice is to steer beyond clear or this company. The level of respect, articulation, and mediation will have you question the authenticity of any service offered. Supervisor Fernando behaves as a child and does not comprehend clean remedial English.

Bad Business Service
September 25, 2017

I applied for an EIN and expected to receive it in two days. Paid them $197 and then learned the IRS does it for free. Took four weeks to get my refund, after I immediately cancelled their service. Would never do business with them again.

Awesome experience
November 4, 2017

I thought the process would be long and uncomfortable. But it was short, and precise the agent that assisted me was Luisa who was awesome and very informative, made me feel comfortable about answering the questions because she was clear and courteous the entire time. I strongly recommend the experience to anyone who is considering going into business this first step will make the rest of the road seem easy.

I didn't know who to refer to for my company registration and God took me straight to GovSimplified. I was to have my EIN # in just a couple of hours. Everything was done. Unbelievable! I will encourage sincerely any one out there. You won't be disappointed.

This was alarming
February 3, 2016

It seemed very easy and painless to complete the forms.
However, Since I received the first confirmation that my EIN number had been confirmed, I have received several emails warning me that I needed to finish registration by completing my electronic signature.
Now I am receiving emails telling me that my EIN is now blocked. In fact such an email is the one that I m responding to this survey from. Can you please make up your mind as to if it is completed or I need to make another electronic signature. Can someone there please make up their mind as to whether I am in good standing or not?
I have called the number and have gotten no response back.

Feel like I got ripped off - $129 for something I could have gotten for free. The website is deceptive - it looks like a government site and nowhere obvious do they tell you that they're not a government agency. Tried to call and got hung up on twice. Total rip off

EIN Filing
January 28, 2016

Extremely helpful and efficient service to obtain a non-profit EIN number. I called in the afternoon and the information was waiting for me via email when I woke up the next morning! This, after spending weeks to even get through to the IRS, unsuccessfully. Mahalo!

Much, much better than I expected.

I'm in my late sixties. All of my experience with the government has been crummy until the last two years. This experience, coupled with Medicare and Social Security has been great. I don't know who to pat on the back for this, but the collective you is doing a stellar job.

Save your money and go to your nearest social security office to get a card. It's my fault I got suckered into the scam but if I can help someone else out by warning them against this company, I will maybe feel better!
