IRS
April 15, 2023

The process was fairly quick and easy. Everything needed was presented upfront. I was able to get everything ready and processed. The whole procedure was private and secure. I felt none of my information was going to be available for anyone else except the IRS in their department. This was a secure site everything need it was ready for me to get on and see my information and proceed with my taxes.

Once I requested to have a real person verify me, the 30+ minutes of aggravating input I indured, was finally over. Happily.

For people living abroad
April 15, 2023

Using ID.me I was finally able to set up a MySocialSecurity account with a foreign address and mobile phone number. The procedure was not very complicated - the needed codes came through quickly and the e-mails also - and it was easy to upload the necessary document files (photos not accepted). Once they were approved I was informed of how long the wait would be to speak to an agent so I could decide whether to wait or come back another day. The video chat was also very easy (in comparison with a recent attempt at my first Zoom call) and the agent extremely friendly - it took just a couple of minutes to show her my identification.
