IDme indeed!
March 25, 2023

It was simple to use. Uploading photos was easy and gave real time verification on how to identify who I was. I enjoyed it and appreciated how great the experience was.

Impossible for a Nonprofit
April 24, 2023

Forget it if you're trying to create a new account for your nonprofit or any entity with an EIN. There's no way. You'll have to file your taxes with Form 990-EZ this year. 990-N isn't going to be an option. This website makes it impossible.

Extremely frustrating
April 24, 2023

It took forever and they were either having technical issues or loss of power. I STILL don't have what I need. They may also not be compatible with Apple because I kept doing the same log in protocol over and over.

Setup was easy
March 25, 2023

My goal was to discover my secure pin. The process to create the id.me account was easy to understand and quick to complete. I can securely access my data, review past returns, make estimated payments and change notification preferences.

Waste of time
April 24, 2023

I tried to log on to ID.me and was met with a completely befuddling succession of requirements before I could get on the IRS site to find out the answers I wanted. No adequate help was offered. This was a great waste of time, even when I managed to get on the site.

The instructions are completely inadequate. The process is poorly designed and engineered and does not work properly. It took multiple tries to take the photos of my driver's license and the selfie. This company (which must have contracted with the government to provide this high-security service on the cheap) is doing a disservice to citizens. What about older people who need to access the Social Security Administration and are not tech-savvy. This is an insult to citizens.

It was fast, and straight forward to use. It took approximately 3 min. To complete ID verification.
