Don't
May 7, 2023

Nothing verified actually goes to irs. Instead id.me has my personal information and the irs withholds my tax return because they couldn't verify I am me.

Technological Nightmare
May 7, 2023

I had to go through the process a half a dozen times before I was able to complete it successfully. If one does not have a smartphone or is unfamiliar with its applications the process is extremely user unfriendly. I had to use an application on my computer that I had never used before to navigate the process. I would have been better off going to my local IRS office, but that is no picnic either.
