Too difficult to use.Picture download was a horrible experience
It was amazing. I was able to get what I wanted in seconds. I didn't have to wait for it in the mail which usually take 5 to 7 business days.
Needed to verify my husband's military status as a veteran. The process was fast and simple. Results are immediate.
El servicio que ofrecen es bien claro y conciso, a la hora de subir fotos bien entendible todo, aunque uno quiera perderse no se puede, (mejor se Daña, Dicen en mi país)
Upgrading from the prior IRS online Direct Pay system to the new ID.me system/environment:
Straightforward, efficient, friendly. I came in nervous (self-imposed intimidated), followed the simple clear process...Logged out calm, confident...proud that "we did it".
Thanks IRS for introducing a smooth seamless means for paying our taxes in a pleasant prideful way. So painless that we're 'almost' looking forward to doing it again...chipping in our fair share for 2023.
It was something different, but as far as all, I am satisfied.
Totally easy. No hard questions and good help.
Easy to access on the web or phone.
It's not like a lot of the sites I get on, they ask you to verify it's me and that's pretty simple so all in all it's ok.
This process was simple and effective and gave me pretty near instant access to the information I desperately needed.
Very good. I'm so surprise because you are available at any for your customer and despite I can't reach you by phone easier you give an other way to facilitate the process
Hello Dell. We’re glad you were able to complete your verification successfully. We appreciate your feedback! —T, ID.me
Some one was trying to steal my identity. And I emailed them right away! With a couple of minutes they got back to me. And I was able to take care of things. And the gentleman who help me was so kind and caring!
Since this was my first time and with me first time is always trial and error. However, I final figure it out. We know how technology for the first time user can be a little intiimdating.
Greetings my verification was very simple and the customer service representative that assisted me went above his job.He did not disconnect me when I was having technical difficulties connecting to verify my identity.He he showed my how to use an app I've never use before so I'm very happy with their service
