Grievances: NYS Tax Page Broken
US gov't websites are a joke
Problem
All the NYS.gov tax pages look like this:

Tried On
- Chrome
- Safari
Solutions
- Call them: 518-457-5181
- (If I worked there) Allow for online users to submit tickets
Problem II: IRS Failed at Inputting Correct Account Number for Payment Plan
Stuck in this pattern for months now.


I tried calling them. Very unhelpful. It was their fault in the first place.
Solutions:
- Fill out Form 9465 (https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-9465) and fax it to them AND pay $50
- Eat dirt and pay manually, allow the plan to sit in pending until the heat death of the universe (I'm going with this option)
- (If I worked there) Minimize the information gap between a phone call and a online page that allows for little/no actions
- Secure form uploader. Assuming fax in 2026 is so cringe.
