No support at all
June 18, 2025

Setup login ID per instructions just fir it to NOT work and then get sent to different departments with either no help or answer of call. You're better off going to SS office.

ID.Me was Awesome
June 18, 2025

My experience was great. I had to go into the IRS website, even though they had an old telephone number. They were still able to verify my identity with the face recognition, which was awesome because they have your personal information on file.
