It was quick and efficient! Very helpful as I'm trying to file a claim.
Simple and secure.Would surely recommend to potential users.
I used ID.me to verify my I-9 documents. It went very smoothly.
Not so IRS documents and requests.
I would recommend calling the IRS to have them walk you through the alphabet soup of options on ID.me. What had me bogged down for the entire morning, and locked out at one point, took Ms. Weacherbee less than 10 minutes to explain and get me on my way.
C'mon folks you can do better.
They showed professionalism and helped me in my research as I didn't know how to proceed and the person in charge was willing to guide me step by step. Thank you
Completely saved me alot of time and headache. Very helpful and professional but at same time very friendly. There the best
The experience was very professional and understandable to protect my identification from being stolen very kind and very helpful
I reached out for help several times I got the same response which was the simple log in instructions but I still cannot get into at account tries to calll can't speak with anyone
Last year (2022) I spent 6 hours trying to set up an ID.me account, including two phone calls to people who were supposed to help me with it, and I got nowhere. I swore that all my future communications with the IRS would be via snail mail.
This year (2023), I was able to set the whole thing up in half an hour with the help of a very nice man who walked me through it.
So if you tried it last year and swore never again, give it one more try before you decide to go retro.
Difficult to do took along time and even called the help line I was lucky a va rep I know was able to get it working.
