Experience with ID.me
October 15, 2022

All I needed was a PIN # to e-file my taxes for the first time. Using Turbo-Tax my 4 attempts at e-file of taxes were all rejected.
So I decided to create an account at IRS.GOV!

The process was more involved than I expected.

Be prepared to have images of the documents that will be needed because it is always easier to UPLOAD images than taking live photos
During the whole process.

I did not know what would be required on my part for the LIVE CHAT or how I would be connected to the HOST because
I was on a Macbook Air computer. The live chat came on like the facetime. The live chat was wonderful and the live chat host was
Great and very patient. I have a hearing problem (even with my hearing aid) and over 85 years old. So I am glad that everything
Went well to meet the ID.me requirements.

Thank you to the Live Chat host.

They will scam you and not refund you
November 14, 2022

They said nothing about restrictions on movie tickets that I purchased before purchasing them. The theater near me only does online seat reservations. The tickets they sold me can't be used online. They are useless to me. Do not use this service.

For some reason I had a little bit of trouble getting through the initial steps. I also felt as if I was thrown back and forth thru different windows(after entering a password having to check email or phone for verification code, that kind of thing). And I know all these steps are to protect my information, but it seemed a little extreme. My video call with the live agent was great! It was nice to get some finality and know that the process was complete.
