“I finally had a checklist I could follow”
Profile: Non-U.S. student, first U.S. return, no SSN.
Situation: Unclear which IDs the IRS would accept and how to sequence uploads.
What helped: Step-by-step intake, clearer document naming, and review notes before scheduling.
Outcome: Submitted a complete package; applicant reported less back-and-forth than a prior DIY attempt. IRS timing is independent of any platform.
