ID Me - Not so Bad
December 3, 2022

My previous IRS account was retired.: (
I dreaded doing ID Me because of the multi flashing pictures collecting biometrics on my cell phone. However I found out there was analternative. I could show ID and have my identity confirmed by an online IRS representative. Worked through Zoom. The process was quick and easy once my ID documents were uploaded.

I was very skeptical to supply my social security number for verification of my nursing license. They should find another way to verify your license number and status.

Based on the instructions I received to enroll in ID.me to access the IRS.gov website, the process sounded difficult, time-consuming, and, not least, stressful. However, once I had gathered and submitted the ID documents required, which everyone should have on hand anyway, I was connected via teleconference with the ID.me representative, who guided me through the process, which turned out to be simple, straightforward, and quick to complete.
