It was a quick and professional experience. I think people need to know that it will result in a video conference as I did not know this and do not have a camera on my home pc

I created an ID, me account a few years ago to access the VA web site. Recently I wanted to set up an account at IRS, and saw that they also were using ID.me. The best thing was that I could use my existing ID.me account to very quickly set up the IRS account. Some government agencies seem to be using Login.gov as a similar partner for added security. I was recently forced to convert my name/password OPM (Office of Personnel Management) account to Login.gov It has been a nightmare... hour-long waits on the phone just for human help logging in, websites that don't work. I hope all other government agencies I need an account with opt for ID.me..

Es una buena experiencia por comencé a navegar en la página IRS y me proporciono todo lo necesario para abrir mi cuenta y obtener los datos y documentos necesarios evitándose tener que ir a una cita en las oficinas. Me gusta mucho la privacidad y seguridad del sistema. Lo recomiendo porque sin experiencia alguna logre el objetivo. Gracias y muy satisfecho.
