Sample user voices

"I had an individual account and recently opened up an LLC with a partner, however, when I went to retake the tax interview, it wouldn’t accept my EIN. It said EIN and name don’t match even though I wrote them exactly how they appeared on my CP575 form the IRS sent me."

"I had a bad experience. They missed a scan for a franchise tax notice. I almost lost my 'In Good Standing' status."
