ID.me and IRS Website
- Thread starter PrchJrkr

I needed to use ID.me to setup an account with the SSA. I remember it being a PIA. I have to help my wife do it now.
I guess I was just being paranoid. Before sending them a photo and biometric information, I just wanted to see others' take on signing up. I've used ID.me before, but now they're asking for physical proof and I was reluctant to share that over the internet. Thanks for the input.

That's interesting. I was able to sign up using my social (which I normally don't like to give out, but it's for the IRS website) and answering a few questions about my credit history.

I wonder why they rejected my stool sample.

That was a crappy thing for them to do!

I believe the SSA told me in December that having an ID.me acct was (or soon) no longer required?
Maybe so. I set it up around April last year.
We're you able to do the fully automated version or have to speak to an agent? I tries 2 or 3 times doing the automated version and it failed on the facial scan. I suppose I'm so homely they want to view me like a circus freak.
I've never had an id.me thingie, and sign into SSA just fine with the code they send to my email.
Then again, I use a desktop, not "smartphone."

Depending on when you signed up will depend on which way they required she said. Had I signed up sooner I would have avoided the ID.me requirement.
I created an account about a decade ago, same with the IRS.
