What reviewers are saying about irs.gov

Trustpilot rating
1.3

out of 5

Based on 362 reviews

The reviews overwhelmingly express frustration with long wait times, poor customer service, and technical difficulties with the IRS website. Despite these negative experiences, the company is a well-known government entity, and the complaints reflect common bureaucratic challenges rather than fraudulent activity.

What should you do?

No obvious scam signs were found, but this is not a guarantee. Check payment details carefully and stop if anything changes or feels wrong.
