Verification was a nightmare
February 19, 2025

Someone tried to hack my ID.me account and I didn't allow access but when I needed to login to do my taxes it took 16 days, 3 documents and a video call just to login to the IRS website. If they thought I was hacked they should have contacted me

Singapore-based (senior) US citizens
February 19, 2025

If you want to access US gov services from abroad - particularly SSA, this is the way to go. Can't tell you how many times I've attempted to get access to services in the US, gone through long registration processes and hit a roadblock when it came time to enter a non-US address or phone number.

Getting to talk to a real person takes a while but it is managed very well/painlessly - and during MY business hours.

Terrible
February 19, 2025

I was forced to deal with ID.me in order to access the IRS account that I have been using for many, many years. The process took me at least an hour over a period of three days and was extremely headache-inducing. I have no idea what ID.me is nor any idea why the federal government has to operate through such an outfit.

Waste of time
February 19, 2025

I recently tried using the IRS's new tax return filing tool, and unfortunately, my experience was frustrating and inefficient. The platform was not user-friendly, and the process felt unnecessarily tedious. While I understand the importance of security when handling personal information, the excessive steps and constant verification hoops made the entire experience more cumbersome than it needed to be.

One of the most frustrating aspects was having to leave the main platform repeatedly to access external links and enter verification codes. This constant switching between windows disrupted the workflow and felt disjointed, making the process more confusing rather than more secure. Despite carefully following all instructions, I was ultimately unable to file my return. After spending two hours trying to complete the process, I received a message stating that the system could not support the type of tax return I needed to file something that should have been made clear upfront.

Overall, this experience felt like a complete waste of time. The platform lacks efficiency, clarity, and accessibility, making it a poor alternative to professional tax preparation services. Unless significant improvements are made, I wouldn't recommend this tool for anyone with anything beyond the simplest tax situation.
