ID.me for older Vets
February 24, 2025

If you are an older Vet, you most likely should go through the setup process, on a phone, with a younger person more nimble on your phone. Recommend tape a label on the back of your phone with: the number, your email, its login and password - at least when you go to get the help.:)
Doing this online would have been a nightmare to finish the final step at a UPS store with a Kiosk mainly because there was an "issue" with the phone number (land line) that had to be resolved with a live agent,

IRS video call
February 24, 2025

I think this video call is a great way to weed out fraudsters who steal tax dollars from our federal programs. It should be applied to federal voting too.

Don't use ID.me
February 24, 2025

I took a lot of time to gather documents and upload them. I had to wait for an online representative to connect with me and verify my documents. After the call I was sitting there with a blank screen which never took me to the irs website. I mailed my taxes instead.

Unexpected
February 24, 2025

I had no idea that a link from ID.me was going to pop up and that it was required to use the system to identify myself. I was hesitant and did not feel comfortable providing my personal, identifiable info. To a third party company.

Experience
February 24, 2025

Don't understand the origin of ID.Me.
(Is it gov't or private) therefore I have very little trust in something I don't understand.
I find using the system very confusing ant NOT
User friendly at all.
Only use it because I have too.

Easy process to get verified!

Had no problem with signing up for the service, has a few steps to get there but they have to make sure that it is really YOU they're communicating with!
