Learn about IRS through technology
April 15, 2025

Hectic, but a sign of the times! I felt safe with my information, and I now realize that we all must be careful, while using the internet. I am always amazed at what can be done on the computer and appreciate what the different companies and especially our government is doing to keep us safe. Thank you again ID. Me!

ID. Me is WORTH it!
April 15, 2025

With so much hackers and scammers all around us, I am most thankful that IRS made this ID. Me available to authenticate our documents. It's crazy that hackers can file for other people.

At first I had an issue loading documents. But it looks like the issue is fixed. If you had an issue before, try it again now. Everything went smoothly.

My IRS website experience
April 15, 2025

Excellent. I want to know my balance with IRS so I can pay them off before I file my 2024 tax. My tax preparer asked me how much still I owe. I don't know. He gave me the IRS number to call and inquire and I was told I have to wait 60 min but if I don't want to wait I can go to the IRS website which I did and which I didn't regret cause IF. Me assisted me from the start to the end and very happy with the outcome. Highly recommended.

The agent that helped me was so kind. I explained to her that I had been a victim of a hacker and was leery of giving personal information over the internet or phone, but she put my fears at ease. She made my experience as painless as possible. Such a blessing and explained to me how I would use ID me as my sign in for my Social security because I had misplaced our passcode book. You need people who are willing to help you when you feel your world is upside down.

Very time consuming and difficult to navigate, I mean it took me totally 6 hours on the computer with help from an IT person 2 hours. When one has retired you use the computer for banking purpose or just browse for information in general or shop. I can speak for myself that when you develop these systems you are not aware that people who are not working and retirees are not very computer savvy. Its not a one size fits all so to speak.

As long as you have a computer, and a smartphone, it's easy, but if you don't have both, I don't know how well it would work. However, my experience, having both, it was very easy
