Easy process

The instructions were simple and accurate. The Referee was knowledgeable and very approachable. I would highly recommend anyone to use this method to access their tax information.

ID ME REVIEW
November 3, 2022

I BELIEVE THAT IDME IS THE WORST, IT'S CONFUSING, IT DOESN'T TELL YOU WHAT IS WRONG AND WHEN I DID IT, IT HAD TO BE DONE OVER AND OVER. THEN FINALLY WE GOT A PERSON TO ASSIST US, WHO WAS VERY NICE AND EASY TO DEAL WITH, BUT WE HAD TO WAIT 1:30 MINUTES TO GET TO TALK TO HIM. THE IDME PROCESS SHOULD BE MADE SIMPLE AND MORE INFORMATIVE.

This is ridiculous to have to go through 3rd party company. Its been days and I still can't get them to verify my identity. I'm a tax paying US citizen! I have a security 9 clearance with a securities company and they can't seem to verify my identity. I tried again will on vacation to verify, wouldn't approve my printed copy of my passport (go to any embassy around the world with a printed copy because your passport was lost or stolen is fine) So sad to see that the IRS does not use Login.gov like the rest of the government. It is a sad day when government turns to this type of outsourcing.
I have decided complain to as many senators as possible including FTC to action this curse upon taxpayers.

PIA but have to do it
October 17, 2022

Takes some time, may have to photo your ID and submit, may have to phone verify, may have to have actual live video chat to verify with you ID in your hands to show in live video chat, so have ID pictures done and ready ahead of time (then delete off your devices so they won't be hacked and stolen). ID.me a necessary evil for IRS, some military and other discounts. And who knows if your info will be hacked into on the ID.me site. Even top companies and govt get hacked often.
