jklcpa Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 From today's Quick Alert email: Quote E-Services Users, Here’s a quick update on critical issues currently affecting e-Services users. Because the IRS is still reviewing its contract options for an identity-proofing vendor, the move of e-Services to Secure Access authentication will be delayed. The transition was originally planned for later this month. As of today, we do not have a new date. We will communicate via Quick Alert as soon as a new launch date is set. Also, the technology upgrade of moving e-Services to a new platform continues. This means you are unable to take certain actions, like requesting an EFIN, viewing or updating an application. We recognize this is creating a hardship for some of you. Once the applications become available, which should be soon, we will have additional personnel available for the e-Help Desk to assist you and process your requests and applications as a priority. Please continue your organizational activities to prepare for Secure Access migration. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that we are doing our best to provide you with a series of upgraded services that will not only will make e-Services easier to use but also make it more secure for you and your clients 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee B Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 It will be really interesting to see if they can figure out an alternate approach or if they stick with Equifax ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraEA Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 IRS signed a new contract with Experian, but Equifax is taking them to court over the stop work order. Talk about nerve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the apocryphal story of the guy who killed his parents, then asked the court for leniency because he was an orphan... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
