I found the IRS video meeting worked well to resolve documentation for an ID.me logon. There was only a short wait for an agent and once connected the Security Agent, Diane, was pleasant and professional. As a self-employed person, I can logon now to review what I've paid to help with my planning. No downside!

This experience was so fast, I was honestly shocked at how quickly it was done. I clicked on the button to proceed to meet someone over video call and it said 15 minutes wait so I put my phone down and went about my business but after 30 seconds it said someone was ready and I could click to join. Wow! The representative was super friendly and we barged through each item before she told me what to expect and thanked me. The funniest part was that she apologized for any long waits or technical difficulties- definitely not necessary! Haha I was pleasantly surprised to be finished with everything so quickly and was able to complete everything I needed to get done this morning. Thank you so much!
