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.
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!

It was great. Quick, fast and easy. Application was easy to complete and follow.
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;

This organization is terrible at providing the service that they represent. Spent several days trying to get this accomplished. Each conversation they said they would get back to me. Originally offered SS card by E-mail immediately. After 4 days they finally got back to me explaining that nothing could be done and the process takes two weeks. 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.
Very easy to use the company for my tax ID. Very helpful and informative online program. I would recommend this website if anyone asks. Thanks
Their website is misleading. It led me to believe that it was a government website where I could apply for a replacement card. They don't tell you that they are not affiliated with SSA until the end of the process, when it is too late to cancel your order. I realized this about 10 minutes after completing the process. I then called the company for a refund, and was told I would get only a partial refund as I was past the time limit. I said "I just completed the form not FIVE minutes ago!" I am supposedly being issued a full refund. We will see. This is robbery.
Gave the impression that they were the gov. Paid $147 to go through the same process I would have gone through at the IRS' site to get an EIN. The only difference is the IRS charges nothing. They were almost as quick as the IRS.
After prolonged discussion, they refunded my full application fee. CSR rep stayed polite and friendly throughout.

Great customer service! Ana was especially super great in helping me obtain my EIN number. I would highly recommend. Thank you ever so much!
WAs very pleased and surprised with the ease of navigating especially since it involved the government. Quick results. Painless process for a DIY
Well to start you can do this yourself for FREE, again that is FREE, on the IRS website. You put the same information in and it is instant on the IRS website. Don't make the mistake I did by paying $150 for someone else to submit the form that I filled out online anyway.
Now this govsimplified does complete the service they promise and in a very timely manner. So I can't complain there. I am just mad at myself for spending unnecessary funds for this.
Tip for consumers:
Use the IRS....More info and its free.
Dear Dustin N,

Much like a tax service, where it is free to do it on your own but often times much more tedious; we aim to eliminate the hassle of dealing directly with the government. We have reached out to you directly to address any concerns you may have and look forward to hearing from you soon. Feel free to contact us directly at support@govsimplified.com or give us a call at (888) 629-9001, Our offices are open Monday-Friday 09:00AM-07:00PM EST.
Since getting a replacement SS card is free, they charge unsuspecting customers (like me) upward of $37 to send a PDF page that can be downloaded from the *real* Social Security government website for free... all you get, in essence, is a pre-paid USPS label.
Despicable! I hope I can get my money back.
Tip for consumers:
They pose as a government institution that will help you get a replacement Social Security card for a fee of either $37 or $93, but fail to inform you that the Social Security Office replaces cards for free. And in the process collect all of your most sensitive data. How are they allowed to do this?!
We understand that the customer is unhappy with the service and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. We realize how frustrating a situation like that can be and we are currently working to make it right.
We have clearly mentioned on our website that “GovSimplified is a private entity and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SSA.
The Social Security Administration provides free social security forms and assistance.
After reviewing the records, we found that the customer has applied for SSN card replacement on Jan 15,2019 and customer has also contacted our customer service to cancel the service. We have explained the customer why we charge also, We have informed the customer that he can use the service anytime and we have offered 50% discount customer agreed and we have issued the refund of $18.50
Since the customer is not satisfied we would issue the remaining refund of $18.50 back to his card on file.
Refunds are made to the source of the original payment, and processing generally takes 4 to 5 business days. Please contact your bank or credit card company directly to inquire as to when you can expect this refund to show up in your account.
We would also like to inform you that we will take extra measures to make sure that such errors don't happen again in the future.
We apologize again for the inconvenience.
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.
In my opinion, this has been an easy process so far.
Thank you
You make a process that would scare most people and turn it into simple steps and help is always there if needed.
Thanks
Very fast, easy, all questions were answered in a timely manner. Thank you so much for all the help
QUICK AND EASY PROCESS FOR GETTING EIN FOR MOM'S ESTATE. BUT WE NEVER RECEIVED EMAIL THAT EIN WAS READY. AFTER 2 DAYS WE CHECKED BACK AND IT WAS READY BUT WHEN WE PUSHED SEND SS4 TO EMAIL MULTIPLE TIMES WE NEVER RECEIVED THE FORM IN EMAIL. SO JUST COPIED THE FORM AS JPG AND DOWNLOADED.
This process was simple and easy! Idea number was to me with in a hour'nn
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 representative completed the application over the phone wrong and now it's up to me to correct information with IRS which I think they should be responsible for correcting.
We would love to be able to address this issue with you. However, we are unable to pull up your application based off the information provided. Typically, any changes that need to be made after the EIN is allocated must be confirmed in writing with the IRS.
Please contact us directly so that we may assist you with this matter. Email us at support@govsimplified.com or give us a call at (888) 629-9001. Our offices are open Monday-Friday 09:00AM-07:00PM EST.
Really quick and easy. Received the number within a couple of hours. Easy to complete on-line form. User friendly.
The two people that help me was very nice and helpful to me
