I had previously set up ID. Me for some reason; this is the first time I can remember using it. I resent having to use it to reassure the Federal Government that I'm really me so I can get back the money it owes me.

It's the review they deserve
April 22, 2025

I use ID. Me to login to a government website and it is painless compared to possibly login in on my own and not having the added protection and someone possibly being able to steal my information and steal my identity. You should consider using ID. Me to protect yourself online.

It was good but my account was suspended. I need it unsuspended so I can verify my tax return. I had a pleasant experience with the agent. She was very kind.

Stay far away from ID. Me
April 22, 2025

Horrendous experience. First I'm told I need to video call with an agent and I wait on hold for over half an hour. That was after having to deal with the dumbest and most useless AI bot ever. It's like the IRS handed all its inefficient habits to ID. Me and used that to create the ai chat bot. Yes, that bad. Between going in circles, being informed I have to have a video call (which was needed) just to wait half an hour to speak with an agent just to get notified that I don't need an agent and to wait yet again for a different department to help. The problem is I KNEW I had to speak with a video agent to rail e the issue. After hours of useless interacting with the ai bot, being on hold, then redirected multiple times, I gave up and had to do it all over the next day.
