I met with someone who spoke with me by video who showed the interviewer my driver's license and passport. He told me that I satisfactorily completed the session. I was hoping that I would receive an email sent to my email address of *******@qwestoffice.net explaining how to proceed further so that I could file 1099's electronically. Should I be waiting for an email, or a letter in the U.S. mail? Or should I be taking further action now to access my account and finalize something?

Log in to ID.Me
February 4, 2025

Had to get help from a VA volunteer, the web site would not accept the photo of my drivers license. The passwords and second ID you have to do is way to much, if some one is going to hack your account they will be able to do it anyway. Most Veterans are to old to be able to get into these websites with out help.

So simple and easy!
February 4, 2025

I wanted a taxpayer ID Pin and this was the first step. I was leery about taking pictures of my ID to make it work, but it was pretty easy. They took a selfie (had to take off my glasses) and matched so it was done within five minutes.

Efficient and easy process
February 4, 2025

I found the process the process to be very clear. I had an expired drivers license and wasn't sure if I could use it. The support page was very helpful on how an expired license could be used. The instructions on each step was clear. The agent was easy to understand. I liked how you are notified by email when you are ready go progress to the next step.
