Great stuff!
April 6, 2025

This made logging into the IRS website so easy. The process was user friendly and efficient! I went through the entire process and was never met with an error message like I often am with other websites. I have used me for multiple different verification processes and it always works.

They let someone illegally set up an IRS account in my name and now I can't file my taxes online because I can't access the PIN the criminal they let set up my account created. They had one job and they failed completely.

ID.me Should be Called Sodomize.me
March 17, 2025

Horrible. User UNFRIENDLY. I want to thank the Internal $#*! Service for making it impossible to get my refund this year. I was expecting a refund, but now I DO NOT expect to receive it. Instead, I expect to be arrested for tax evasion.

Frustration in getting assistance
March 17, 2025

The set up of the account was very easy, but the verification process was extremely frustrating. I was able to complete half of the process but was unable to verify that I was alive. The system indicated that I did not have a smart phone. I navigated to the help menu and worked my way through several of their pages that indicated there was a way to video chat to complete this task but could not locate this option in any of their menus. I left their sight and went back to the site that sent me to theirs and again, was unable to complete the task as they put in a help ticket and assured me that I would hear back soon. Still waiting and unable to verify that I am alive.

我使用ID.me感觉很好用。自从2021年以来,从当时失业后领取政府生活补贴以来上网都要验证身份,这个网站比较方便,快捷,信息也很安全,操作简单,给了我极大的帮助,非常感谢。每次我登陆社会安全局的网站时要用到它,查找其它网站时也会用到它。有时我忘记了用户名或者密码时,也要求助于它。

This is the second time I've created an ID me account to qualify for a veterans discount. The first time I deleted it because they abused the personal information I'm required to provide by sending me Spam e-mail offers (maybe for a mattress or something) almost immediately after sign up. This time, they woke me up twice at 1am with survey requests I never asked for. How hard is ot to add a checkbox on sign up; "Is ot OK of we contact you with special offers or surveys?" I guess just like last time, Ill be requesting deletion of my account as soon as I iuse the discount to make sure they respect my privacy, because clearly they don't care about it enough to respect it while I have an account.

Initially attempt unsuccessful, re-read instructions and review your entry to avoid errors. Saved info and gone back with clear mind.
Video verification- patience in queue.
The agent was very helpful; I was nervous.
I understood the "processes" after and how important it was to protect my data too.
