“Excellent service”

Very helpful. Easy to use site. I received my results fast. They live up to everything they promise and I got my results in less than one hour! I looked at other sites and they wanted more money or wouldn't accept an American Express credit card. I would recommend to anyone who is in a rush to pay the extra price to have the reassurance that you will get your number in a timely fashion. I really don't understand the negative reviews because the site was easy to utilize and delivered what it promised within the hour.

“Shame that this appeared to be a Federal Government Site.”

This organization is terrible at providing the service that they represent. Spent several days trying to obtain an EIN number. Each conversation they said they would get back to me. After 4 days they finally got back to me explaining that nothing could be done until Monday. This after their site advertised that they could get it to me the same day. When I asked for refund they returned only half of my payment. My advice is make sure you are connected directly to IRS or SS as the need may be. Regrettable. Representative unduly surly. Stay away.

WAs very pleased and surprised with the ease of navigating especially since it involved the government. Quick results. Painless process for a DIY

The process was quick and easy. My only displeasure was that I opted to pay the extra to have an instant EIN number but it was on a Friday afternoon in the mountain timezone and apparently I could not get the number until Monday as the offices were closed already. Should not accept or offer instant option after certain time each day.

The rep was courteous and took me through the process, even though I was surprised to hear it was a third party company not until we were halfway through. It was not glitch-free and expensive, but I got the number THAT day!

Easy site to negotiate and my application was processed within 24 hours. However, it did cost more than I thought it would be or should be.

I liked the quick service. My call taker was hispanic and her English was perfect but her accent was hard for me to follow.

Tip for consumers:
have your credit card and info ready before you call.

Was thankful I did not have to stand in a line at the IRS office, wasn't too happy about having to pay a fee in the beginning, at the end I was glad I used the service. Thanks GovSimplified.

Easy, fast process. Wish it were as easy to make a change to the application but have to do it via a letter sent by mail. Why no email?
