EServices Question

[ChEAr$]

Try it again...

I tried e-services about a year ago (as I had already e-filed 5 returns) and I had nothing but problems in logging in, getting connected etc.

The IRS does NOT make it user friendly - so until they perfect it and make it less problematical - those magnificent men and their flying machines can take it and shove it.

this year. I've noticed things are a lot smoother now. In fact they will email you when
your password is about to expire; plus they've made it easier to reregister online now.

Things have come a long way since a handful of us tested the prototype of the system
maybe... ten years ago. (Back then IRS called it "PSMS", which I sort of confused
with PMS, some kind of syndrome I think.

I will bring all these complaints to the class..................

E- Services

Okay -
Assuming that the system HAS been improved to log in and get set up -
does the IRS provide you with a listing in plain English of all their codes so you could interpret what they mean and user friendly so you could navigate the site?

Ok

On ChEAr$ recommendation, I'll give it a shot one more time next week. A friend uses it all the time and has never had a bad experience with it. My experience is just the opposite.

Bob, get ready for some dictation!

how you fare, so I can test the validity of my recommendation. (grin)

I believe the codes are a closely held IRS secret. At least all of the ex-IRS agents I work with speak of have wanting to abscond with the codebooks, but not being allowed to under penalty of death or something like that. I do know code '290' is that the case is closed.

Somewhere at the office

I have a list of the codes. If anyone wants, remind me and I'll scan same hopefully and
post here.
