Just after completing the personal identification portion of the process, I stepped away from the computer due to household necessity, only to return to an error message telling me that it was necessary to start over. I logged back in and immediately found myself back in the correct next step in the recovery process. Expecting to have to start over, I was pleasently surprised.

This was a whole new thing for me. I had taken a selfie before so that went OK. But getting my drivers license so it could be read took a few tries. Once you've read the instructions trust that you can do it! It's taking the photo's and the selfie then watching how fast it downloads. Quite the experience!

This whole process was a pain in the butt! I already have a DOD ID card that lets me navigate several government websites. The IRS should be one of them.

I started to open an ID.me acct but got stymied at uploading the documents. I finished the process to get access to my SSA account.
I had used my phone to take images of documents, but could not return to the original Tab. I thought I had messed up again. But when I went back to my laptop, it had received & verified my documents. It didn't tell me to return to the laptop - just to "original Tab". It was confusing & frustrating.
