Hoping to be able to just shortcut the process of filing 1099 forms, I clicked on the links on the IRS page, and was informed that I would first have to log in via ID.me.

I went through the entire process, only to find that the only choice available to me was "Individual" and that once I clicked on that, I was sent to a page with an error code on it. I was unable to do anything else. Clicking back caused the page to break. Logging in again only takes me to the page with the error code.

I started with the website but due to limitations of my camera I could not clearly photograph some of my ID's. I finally was able to get ones that we satisfactory and moved on to the video call to complete the verification process. After a 30+ minute wait I got to talk to an agent. He was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. He seamlessly completed the process.
