Finally got it.
May 1, 2023

Was frustrating to get what I was trying to get. The site was not giving enough information to properly navigate and understand. Had to give up after two hours and start again the next day and finally got what I needed.

With all the things (scam) going on in the world. It was hard at first not trusting the process, but after being made aware of it by a friend who had to do this last year things were easier.

Excellent!
April 1, 2023

Signing up for IRS Account using ID.Me was an easy process and very secure. The procedure uses your license and facial recognition in realtime to validate your identity. This ensures person signing up is the right individual. I felt very confident and secure in using these mechanisms.

Secure verification
April 1, 2023

My overall experience resulted in what I needed, the only barrier was connecting the video selfie verification with my iPhone, no instructions how to bypass this feature when it doesn't work. The solace is the security measures in place to protect your information and confirm you are the individual accessing your sensitive data.
