I was finally able to finish the set up but verification seemed to be a bit involved. This is possibly due to an abundance of caution, which is wise. Just allow time and be careful with instructions. Once it's done, it's very helpful!
Don't be in a hurry. Read the instructions carefully. Take your time. It does work great.
It was fast and easy and they keep your information safe and protected from anyone
Id.me seems to be a system built by amateurs. It will frustrate your efforts to accomplish anything you set out to do on their website and leave you feeling extremely uncomfortable about having shared sensitive information with a website that is so poorly built and managed. Stay away from Id.me at all costs and stick with hard copy filings!
My experience with ID me was excellent very professional, fast and easy in short time, am very happy and recommended to others for using. Thanks
Too long of a process. Approximately two step verification would have been enough but the additional video selfie intermission was closer to 15 minutes then 15 seconds
Needed last year's tax documents to finalize my tax return. They helped me access the IRS website to obtain it. All together took 5 minutes to confirm my identity and I was in.
Great experience loved it. Will use again. Definitely a good app. Glad they use this. Was easy. Like it much.
Terrible stop, none, never again will I try or fill out or trust this site again
Muy bien gracias y muy de acuerdo con la allida para proteger la Identidad
I will always trust using it. Doing the whole process is worth it.
ID.me handled my situation with such ease. L'd rather dreaded what I imagined the process would be having some reservations stemming from what I'm not quite sure, but in the end found it to be a breeze and not laborious at all. I was comforted in the steps they used for identifying oneself.
A graded. Assistant's introspect on point, fast on instruct, thus measures needed to be attained most fluently.
Don't use ID.me to log into IRS. Try another source as ID.me will have sensitive information of one on their system.
Worth the effort, carefulness is key, preparation is a must; but the process is streamlined. The key is being able to gather all the data required to satisfy the requirements - which the process tells you every step of the way.
Very convenient experience I would recommend everyone create an account an use this service
