Setting up a NEW login for IRS

Take the time to know what they want from you before you start. If they want pictures of the front and back of your driver's license get it done first.

Ease of use

I assumed that it was going to be more difficult in finding what I needed and of course that dreaded password, e-mail and search engine. It surprised me how I was able to follow the prompts making it user friendly

Once documents were uploaded, verification is the next step, but the participant is led every step of the way.

Process was way too complex and convoluted to figure out myself! So I ended up having to give my personal information to someone else to help me. Just put the DD214 on the VA Benefits website where the Disability award letter is! It took waaay too much time to figure this out and added a lot of extra time and I ended up not getting the DD214 when I needed it. Absolutely HORRIBLE! Veterans deserve better!

Don't do it!
August 30, 2023

The ID.me agent was nice but he gave me false information regarding what personal data would be provided to the IRS. When I checked the ID.me site after verification, I learned that everything he told me was untrue. Also, when the agent asked to see my documents, I noticed that a "streaming" balloon appeared on my computer screen. No one disclosed that my video call with the agent would be streamed anywhere. If you care about your privacy, don't sign up with ID.me.
