I had faught hard regaining my account from suspension, it took two years after suspicious activity. I was resilient and kept sending in proof to back up my complaint. I now have access to my me account when I received the email, stating my account was no longer on suspension, it made my day and whole weekend happy!

Very Very Very Very Bad you will lose online access don't trust it. Well tried it after 48 hours, still no access.
Very easy. Even though I was having internet problems, the experience was very simple and not a waste like similar ones I've tried in the past.
Wasn't too bad. Just need to be patient and pay closer attention to the directions. It was a thorough vetting process, and it's creators should be commended.
The system was very user friendly and secure, when it came to inputting my personal information into the appropriate fields. I was able to upload the required documents in order to show proof of my identity. Not to mention, the system made it manageable to speak directly to a ID.me agent via web camera for personal protection.
After all I went through it ended up being a learning experience and it was very easy to do. It was easy once you get pass the selfie.
As a veteran with over 30 years of service, I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the ID.me verification process. The system's inability to accept VOIP or prepaid phone numbers, which are my only means of communication, created a significant and unnecessary obstacle. This forced me to travel to a service center to complete the verification, causing considerable inconvenience. The fact that a system designed to verify the identity of those who have served our country fails to accommodate widely used communication methods is unacceptable. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and nearly led me to opt out of online services altogether. I was even prepared to contact my Congressman for assistance. ID.me needs to address these issues and improve their verification process to ensure that veterans and others who rely on VOIP or prepaid phones are not unfairly burdened. This experience has severely undermined my trust in ID.me and I would strongly advise others to be prepared for potential difficulties during the verification process."
La principio fue algo complicado porque no entendía, pero una vez que empezó a seguir los paso semestre facilito y fue más rápido y sencillo
Everything took forever to complete and the verification lady was a snot.
You need more proof of ID than you are originally told.
Durante este proceso me han podido dar toda la información que deseaba y han sido muy amables a la hora de intercambiar palabras
It help me out alot I can say getting a better understanding of the situation and how it's a global thing
I have already completed a lengthy ID.me survey. Increases time and effort needed to access the sites that I need to access. Yet allows another entity to access and track my data and activities. Increases privacy risks to my info and activities and compromises the security and access to my identity.
The waiting for my tax return is something else. Idk if the IRS got my information needed for the identity verification?
Well I was trying trying to log with other sources
But its hard to in as they were asking various things to veryfy my identity but its still couldn't, When I take id me its very easy To log in as only two authentication got through. Last year also I Used your portal. Therefore I highly recommend ID me is the best.

After going through all the choices to sign in, still wasn't able unable to access my information. Just need to access my account
Now that I'm verified and I'm not in my head anymore about getting my refund. No more excuses for me to be waiting on another refund
It will do what it's supposed to as long as the IRS has Current Contact Information on you. In most people's cases they have 10 year old phone #'s on file making the 2 step verification near impossible until you get ahold of the IRS (Never fast nor Simple) and Update them with Current contact info for yourself. Which is an ordeal in itself.
