AS IF IT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH YOU HAVE TO UPLOAD ALL THESE DOCUMENTS LIKE YOU'RE JOINING THE CIA... THEN YOU STILL HAVE TO SPEAK TO AN AGENT AND AFTER DOING ALL THAT YOU STILL DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE... I SPENT 3 HOURS TRYING TO START MY PAPERWORK ON LINE AND I HAVE ABSOLUTLELY NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT! TOTALLY USELESS! THE ONLY REASON I'M GIVING 1 STAR IS BECAUSE I CAN'T GIVE -10!

Nothing works. They send a text, tell you to click on it, after taking your ID pics, the message I get: "Message not sent: invalid destination." ID.me is the one providing the destination. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Clear and good performance
April 12, 2023

This was a successful and efficient experience. The directions were clear, during the relatively short time one had to wait for the identification process the amount of time to wait was clearly specified in advance. The site is responsive to the mouse clicks and progress from beginning to end is fairly fast.

System worked well
April 12, 2023

I needed to obtain an online IRS user account, requiring identity verification via ID.me. In spite of the negative experiences of others last year, the system worked well for me - it was simple and fast using my phone for TFA, driver license photo, and facial scanning. Hopefully the security and privacy aspects of this system are sound.

I was scared to go online with the IRS. In the past, the experiences were long and complicated. Today I was on and off within ten minutes! What a change.
