Process is simple and fast directions are right on point. I'm very satisfied with how everything is structured.
Good experience, using ID.me I highly recommend others using it.
Muy buena experiencia porque está aplicación ayuda mucho para revisar mi caso con IRS
It was very easy and smooth. The lady that did my identity verification was very nice and great. She was very nice and respectful.
Getting it done fast and easy was great for me. And I would recommend it to anyone.
I initiated ID.me account on Sunday night and able to access my required information from IRS within half an hour!
I just answered some questions, did the video call, and answer some more questions and I was done
Following the steps required using smart phone was easy & OK, uploading the document to send the necessary paperwork was convoluted...the steps need to be clear & pictorial help would help immensely
Adding a statement to verify if " this link" was received would also be helpful
A process that felt like it took longer than needed for an only process.
Excellent and very brief.I thought they weren't gonna identify me.but I was able to provide the documents needed for the verification process.
It was Topnotch experience, very precise and straightforward questions were asked. The response was also very prompt
Muy rápido en cargar los documentos y la atención en la llamada muy rápida y atentos
I tried to access my account to set up a payment program for my taxes, but I couldn't sign in because the email address on the account was not mine. It looks like my account was hacked. I can't sign in, there is no number to call, the chat bot just won't let me talk to a live person and just redirects me to fill out a customer support ticket. I filled out a customer support ticket and a week later got an email. I answered all their questions. Two week later, never got a response and my account is still suspended. The worst by far customer service I have ever experienced.
The gentleman was kind very patient and help me with everything that I needed to do
Have been trying for one hour + to get verified so that I can get a copy of my 1099 form for 2023.
Have uploaded again and again documents and the system says - chose a way bla bla but gives no option to do anything. One time system said "verifying". Took 10 minutes and was rejected without providing a reason. Awful system and time consuming!
