Frustration Free Experience
August 15, 2024

The procedure was simple, expedient, and satisfying. They have set a high standard, ergo, I will use as a benchmark to gauge other sites for what is possible.

Frustrating, maddening waste of time. I would rate it with 0 stars if that were possible. I am just waiting to have my personal info stolen or be hacked due their technical incompetence.

Complete fiasco. If ID verification were their primary business, instead of pushing fake product/service discounts, they would already be out of business. Their bots must be made by Mattel for all the good they are. Someone in the VA must be funding a lakeside cabin for retirement. Its the only possible reason this company is still a government vendor.

Publicly
August 15, 2024

My whole experience for everything was done very pleasant, will say off to another topic for those who keeps lashing on out towards about my daily life having troublesome to a lot of people who are the complete different ethnicity. Convincing others about me "ruining something" instead of me doing something about that problem. One of the answers is that are jealousy to many who are not older people who goes after those who are younger who are not so called "$#*!ed" which means it will not fix it what they're all doing is completely wrongful. Knowingly is way worse than what they think are just plain out stupid for doing so.

I wanted to set up a payment plan for my unpaid taxes. When I went on IRS.gov, it had me create an account with ID.me. The process was a little tedious, but easy to follow along.

Hard to operate
August 15, 2024

I don't understand why the submitted documents were constantly called invalid even though they are bona fide authentic. It took no less than 100 times over three months before being accepted by ID.me. This was an unpleasant journey.
