“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.

I had to call Simplified gov to get a better understand on how and should the trust I am applying for. I was handled by someone named Daniel. With patience he explained to me several times what type of trust I needed to set up. Then I had a problem with my email coming through to me and he called me back several times until I was able to complete the whole process. Excellent service!

They were very helpful in guiding me to get my EIN within the hour. Thanks, I'll give 'em *****. The only thing that would make me happier is if those two wonderful people who helped me would buy my cookbook, "Make 'Em Think You Can Cook" because part of the proceeds will also go to help the Special Olympics. Thanks again;

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.

Representatives I spoke with were knowledgeable and helpful. Worked with me until I got it right. Provided information on what my next step is to be. Should have called the them first. Wonderful employees!

Very simple and the rep was so helpful. They walked me through the entire process. I'm new to this "world" and it can be a little overwhelming but GovSimplified made things so easy :)

This process was way too easy! I was thinking when I finished "No way this is a government website!" Great job!

Cory S.,

Thank you for taking the time to review our site! We worked very hard to develop our intuitive questionnaire in order to give consumers like yourself an alternative to government websites. As a private third party entity, unaffiliated with any government agency, it is our aim to simplify cumbersome government processes. Thank you for allowing us to assist you.

I received excellent assistance from your people.
It was great very much a relief, because I needed the EIN to continue with what I was doing, and to start other business interest that could mean a lot of money. I was worth the price for the headaches I had for misplacing this important info, since the EIN is like
My social security number. I have copies in my safe, now. Thanks

This was easy and fast... process was delayed just a day because of the need to change a character in the company name ("/" to "-"). Khadejah Payne sent a note for an electronic signature. Thanks.

During probate process tax ID was not deemed necessary at hearing but upon contacting multiple creditors and estate issues realized tax ID was needed. This process was made stress free due to GovSimplified.

Not knowing exactly what to do cost me so much time and effort. I'm thankful for the way things have been handled since I found your website.
May all of you as preparers be blessed as time savers!

Easy to do business with. Agents are very polite and patient. Process was very seamless. Agents walk you through the information needed and before the call ends they assure you know what to expect and when your EIN number will be delivered.

Thank you! I am so happy that I finally started my own business, went from nothing last friday to having an LLC confirmed registered by Monday. I applied for my EIN TODAY AT 7:00am and had it by 12:30 SAME DAY, and I did not pay the extra money to have my request expedited!

Easiest On-line government related task I have ever done! I should have done this a long time ago, was expecting hassles. I was wrong. It seems expensive and also didn't realize it is a third party site, which is probably why it's so expensive.

How helpful! No unnecessary steps! No advertising! Just direct information and prompt service. If all of government worked this way, it would be a blessing!
