Having a 3rd party handling data for the IRS is STUPID. This account is the only way to access your IRS account. App used cell phone camera for license pictures fine, errored on selfie because camera did not sense movement.

My experience
April 2, 2025

It was fine. I understand the reason for such a thing but I'm thinking there will requirements for other similar processes because government agencies aren't usually concerned with convenience.

Pienso que es un filtro para que puedan coincidir todos tus datos con los que están ya en el sistema entrelazado en el gobierno y cualquier servicio que quieras utilizar con otra empresa esto está bien pero para mí ha sido un poco complicado no sé si la cree bien o no porque no me deja entrar

Why?
April 1, 2025

As a veteran, I have gone through similar online verification sites for benefits, can't understand why each government entity has it's own process. Should have one process for all govt websites.

Site made it very difficult to complete required steps and verify data. Refused entry/upload on first attempt and rejected confirmation of correct data multiple times. Use a different service if you can.

ID me is great
April 1, 2025

Nice people and easy steps I had a fantastic experience with the tax app! It made filing my taxes so much easier and less stressful. The user-friendly interface guided me through each step, ensuring I didn't miss any deductions. I felt confident and secure, knowing my taxes were handled accurately. Highly recommend it!
