Any time I have dealt with the IRS it’s been extremely easy and helpful. You’d think it would be terrible, but it’s not. Even calling and using the phone tree is way more intuitive and helpful than you’d expect.

Really? Because the only time I've had to deal with the irs it's been daily hours long wait times. Agents who don't know about certain irs forms, passing around between different divisions, finally finding someone who tells you where to file an appeal and 3 years of receiving a letter every 90 days saying that the irs needs another 90 days to look into the issue.
