Estimated Tax Payments
January 23, 2025

I needed to Verify my estimated tax quarterly payments for 2024 had been received by the IRS. I already had a ID.me account but in order to access the IRS files they required additional information to make sure it was me. I had to upload the front and rear pictures of my California Drivers license. In addition I had to allow the irs to use my Cell Phone to take a virtual picture of my face for additional verification that it was me they were communicating with. This whole process took less than 10 minutes. With the crazy world we live these days, hackers, I was happy to provide all the info the IRS needed in order to access my account.

Don ID.ME experience
January 23, 2025

Started using ID.ME back in October, 2020. I think it was still new or in it's initial stages, back then. While the process works OK, changing from one process for log-in in to a different process is always tedious and time consuming. I think my first experience was with Dept of Veteran's Affairs, for example. Having ONE verification system ( like ID.ME) ensures consistent security and continuity between Federal Systems. It is the transition from an older system to a "NEW" one that may be challenging. I also had the issue of having to change emails! My first email went away! So I was forced to change emails ( in lots of different places!). This included ID.ME... Just things to consider. Thank You

Frustrated with the process of getting a perfectly acceptable document accepted. The addresses in Europe are laid out differently than in the use. As an example, the postal code precedes the city name in the country I now live in. But the address is compared to the format in the USA where the postal code comes after the city name. I believe this is why my document was refused, over and over. But I persisted and finally, someone accepted my document and I was finally confirmed.
