My general experience was basically good.
There was a problem when the steps came to me needing to scan the front and back of my government identification card. At first I had to switch between tabs to try and finesse this, and this ended up with me losing track of where I was. I had to start over. At that point, I was able to successfully scan both the front and back of my identification card. However, the computer initially interpreted my data in a strange way, conflating words and adding on letters and numbers that were unnecessary, completely missing others. This led to me initially being rejected for verifying my identification. So I had to enter the editing process and manually correct everything that apparently scanned wrong. Then finally after all of that, I was able to confirm my identity from the card, and I was brought into an extremely short chat with a clerk online, who took care of the rest.
Overall, the process worked, but it was not as problem-free as may be suggested. You definitely need a smartphone with you and high capacity Internet service. Those who do not or whose computer/keyboard skill is minimal, will likely have problems.

COMPLEX AND CONFUSING
October 5, 2023

I found ID.me complex and confusing with blind alleys, requiring several tries and several hours to complete, especially the verification process, which involves multiple high-tech devices...not all of which I have. In the end, ID.me failed to get me to the IRS account I needed to access. The video chat agent was good. That was the only good thing about the ID.me experience.

They didn't finish the job
October 5, 2023

I put in all my information but they never followed up with verification of my employment. I am self employed but I own a company that is registered with the State of Wisconsin as an LLC.

Roy, I can't log into my account. I've tried to remove the D me through authentication, but my new phone number is associated with my account; the old number is not. The fact that the previous number is still listed on the account is the only thing stopping me. Would you be willing to help me remotely so I can log back into my account without your ID blocking it? Until you do a remote session, there is not much to discuss. I've asked more than 100 times, and each time you refused to take my ID off of my IRS account, I had to file a report.
I possess my social security card and driver's license I am prepared with all necessary identification, including my driver's license, social security card, and passport. I need you to direct me to leadership if you are unable to help since I don't have time to keep sending the same message in the same email repeatedly. I might have to file a fraud report in this case, and Inspector Gereanl can help. I previously spoke with a rude man, and I have no interest in sparring with anyone at your company.
No Roy is a freakning fake person who does not have the brain to think so it spits out the answer you never asked. This is horrible. Please file a complaint on the company as well as with the Attorney General's office. This is not good for the citizens. Id Me is a hot mess.

Customer No Service
September 28, 2023

Account suspended without a reason. THEY DONT HAVE A HELP DESK PHONE NUMBER. Numerous emails to resolve went unanswered I can't believe the IRS picked them when they don't offer customer service to resolve problems.

Failure

The ID person refused to input my real name as it is on the California drivers license. This locked me out of the claim application. This is a horrid mistake that has cost me greatly.
