I highly recommend creating your account with your cellphone. After you are all set up, you can log in from a desktop or laptop to use the account if it's easier for you.

Could have been five stars
April 17, 2023

The only reason I did not give five stars, is because when I tried to connect to have the video call to verify my identity, I was having issues with my laptop. The agent said she could not hear or see me, and then she hung up. I called back and got a different agent. She could not hear or see me, but she called me on my cell. I answered and she gave me instructions to finish the verification through my phone. It took less than a minute. It would have been five, if the first agent had done what the second agent did.

Bad experience

My experience was bad. Support didn't help me at all and the process is extremely long to sign in. Never wished IRS switched to this.

Verifying my identity online.
April 17, 2023

I was stressed going through directions for filing tax forms and logging into tax sites. I was totally relieved when the I.D. Me site was able to scan my face and recogize me. Lining my face up was the only step that I struggled a little with.

I've used IDme for multiple applications from commercial sites using military credentials to IRS paying taxes. I like the scaled 2-factor authenticaton (determined by the importance of the data, and site being accessed) and the innovation created by the sites' personnel.
