ID.ME user experience
September 21, 2025

It was somewhat difficult when it came to uploading documents. It asks you to take a picture of your DL and a selfie of your face. An option that should be included is the opportunity to upload those items from the photo app where you may already have them stored.
Other than that I think this will make filing taxes much more secure.

Confusing and time consuming
September 20, 2025

As the title says very time-consuming quite confusing the format could be definitely be better not many explanations as to what things are or what you need to have or provide you make one mistake I'll start all over and then you need to understand sometimes people move so that address on your ID might not be the address that you live at now especially the way DMV lines are nowadays at least in my state
