Self Service vs Video Verification
January 9, 2023

While using the self service function I ALWAYS got the "OOPS Sorry something went wrong" page and I was never able to get the page that would permit you to take pictures of your license, SSN, or passport.
Finally I gave up the self service and decided to use the video assistant. It was simple as long as you read the suggestions on how to take the pictures one needs to upload and picture requirements. EASY.PEASY

ID.me is Amazing!
January 8, 2023

I was trying to get a copy of last year's W2 as requested by a college that my daughter is hoping to get in to, and the IRS referred me to ID.me. I was a little nervous showing my documents to a complete stranger on the other side of the video call. He was very friendly though, and displayed great professionalism in making me feel comfortable.
