Too much work to get a statement.
March 8, 2024

Too much involved just to get a statement. I don't have the means always to upload pictures because I didn't have enough memory on my phone to take pictures. Just ask questions to verify my identity.

Signing up for IRS access

I was able to sign up for ID.me access to the website within a few minutes and found it easy to follow and log into the system. I had my documents scanned and uploaded within 5 minutes. The verification also took less than a few minutes to complete. I had no issues from beginning to end.

More bureaucratic app nonsense
March 7, 2024

Hooray for yet another unnecessary bull$#*! step in our endeavors to claim benefits we have already paid into and deserve. Hooray for spending taxpayer money on this stupid platform so we can find neat ways of stumping our not-so-tech-savvy brethren so they get frustrated and give up before they can successfully claim these benefits, that again, we have ALREADY paid

Signing in with ID.me
March 7, 2024

Horrible. They could not have this more difficult had tried. It was cumbersome, very confusing, and overall very unpleasant. There was no way to talk with a real person. I was constantly referred to articles online when I needed help. Maybe try this on older people with limited computer or cell phone experience before unleashing it everyone else. I found it very, very hard to use. I am not surprised that an organization like the federal government chose to go with them. If I never have to use it again I will be very happy.
