I was able to complete to entire login process and I really enjoyed the security to make sure and ask all the questions for identity proof. Many steps but it asked and completed each one on its own.

Although my experience in resolving this issue took over a month, once Michael with Operations Team and AJ with the Escalations Team got involved, they were able to resolve my issue quickly. So thank you to both for resolving my issue. Thanks, AJ, for walking me through the process and reverifying me.

The ID.me rep was very polite professional and took his time to assist. The direct services and customer service has declined in this country and as a customer service rep myself I know how demanding and hard it is. And this should be the standard for customer care. I hope when this is read you can do more than just forward or provide a verbal " way to go or keep up the goo work" people like Jeremy are leaders and should be not only provided opportunities to advance and develop but also be proud of what he is doing and give this man some more money to bring to his family home! He is working hard to do so and you can tell he likes what he does. Lift your workers who lift your customer care :)

Easy to use website
August 23, 2022

I just set up access to my IRS account online with ID.me. The website was clear and easy to understand. I had received a suspected spam saying I had a refund. I didn't click on it, but did want to check if possibly I Did have a refund. I don't. I'm glad to learn about the website. I use an accountant, so usually just ask her. But it is good to be able to have direct access.

EASY PEASY
August 23, 2022

So I was searching for some info I needed from the IRS website. The info I needed was outside the parameter of dates listed. I needed to set up an IRS account. At first I was skeptical because I wasn't "feeling" the thousands of questions I imagined they would ask. Well, Low and Behold, that was not the case. There were 5 easy steps to getting what I needed.
