Navigation was not easy
May 13, 2025

I found it difficult to maneuver through all the demands away from home. Email communication was nonexistent. Ultimately was able to get verified through their verification with the help of a live person, only to be blocked by Social Security saying their info did not match. Seems I wasted a lot of time to get me nowhere and no help from their help center so far, and no phone number to get a live person to help straighten everything out. Not the best way to try and get into a government agency.

ID.me stupidity
May 13, 2025

I already have several times throughout this interview on my opinion. It is about the worst way for people to go to their IRS accounts I have ever seen. People do not know how to talk to each other anymore. That is what telephone's were made for by our forefathers. They were not made for games, texting, and all other types of crap

Will never do this again
May 13, 2025

Need to set up the account. Not very good at computer or cell phone. First video call, told the agent my difficulties. I could not believe his response was " you should know how to do this, we are in 21st century" how rude. No company should hire someone like this.

Easy, simple and secure
May 13, 2025

I received a letter from the IRS that prompted me to sign up for ID.me. The process was well-described and simple to follow. With the facial profile taken via selfie, I was assured that my account would be safe from scammers and other nefarious activity.

Ok is really the same thing you have to do with 99 % of other sites. It's just verifying information that you normally have to verify any way
