It went well all I had to do was fill out a few things. Then gather up my documents. Then the final step was to talk with someone and get it all verified.

Terrible
April 22, 2023

I tried to use this service in conjunction with Cox Communications to receive a low income internet connection, which I qualify for. The ID.me website requested and then rejected my IRS tax transcript. I will be taking my internet business elsewhere: AT&t's provider, and ID.me competitor called Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) approved me in 10 minutes. Cox, headsup: your partner in this is terrible and costing you business.

World Class Service
March 23, 2023

I had delayed long enough. I dreaded going on to the IRS.gov site to secure my estimated payments for 2022 and to review a minor adjustment per the PC. I logged on to the IRS.gov site and followed the instructions to establish my ID.me account. The instructions were thorough and easy to follow. I had a feeling of accomplishment and a good experience. If you are a computer apprehensive give it a try and you to will be surprised.

This was a complicated process. The functionality of the website was ok. However, it didn't work and i had to do a video chat. 9 MORE WEEKS?!?! IVE BEEN CHECKING MY BALANCE EVERYDAY. THEN FIND OUT THERE'S A LETTER IN THE MAIL I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WAS THERE. SO WHAT WILL WE DO NOW? MOST LIKELY BE EVICTED. WHAT A NIGHTMARE.
