Make sure you have plenty of time.
November 6, 2023

It seemed I had to use ID.me in order to access my tax account on IRS. I hope I never have to use this system again. It took half the afternoon to finally finish with ID.me and be able to access my tax account.
My advice is only use this system if you have to! Good Luck.

ID.me
October 7, 2023

ID is a good idea to identify the person several different ways. I believe it helps protect your identity and who you are. It can make all the difference in the world in your identity being stolen.

Such a nice experience
October 7, 2023

When I heard the lady on the video call, my thoughts changed immediately, I was back in the States. When I was asked about my address, I gave the lady my Las Vegas zip code instead of the one here in Vienna, Austria. I felt being in good hands. Thank you for your kind help. Karl

Good start, bad ending
November 6, 2023

Going through the sign-up process while a bit lengthy went well, process was explained and steps could be followed. However, login in process resulted in going back to the login in screen instead of the desired website. Tried calling, but no phone number. Sent email, it didn't help. Sent a response, but no live agent contacted me. So, I'll be waiting for a response. Govt agency was not help either. Wasted a lot of time, and end it not yet in sight.

Better days
October 7, 2023

Fast: The process took less than 15 minutes and I was updated with mind put at ease.
Simple: The instructions are very understandable, the example were relatable, and I was able to check my history from the records ID.me keeps.
Secure: The question that were ask, only I would know in the allotted time given. Plus face recognition, email, phone number and prior address is a bonus.

Simple process but bad results
October 7, 2023

I did the ID.me process to qualify for a Military discount on a Sam's Club membership and I didn't because I had a membership in the past that I had to quit due to limited income being a Disabled Vet. Oh Well I tried.
