I tried to setup my IRS online account but couldn't verify because I live abroad and don't have a U.S. phone number. Flagging that Id.me allows you to register with a foreign phone number (still need that data right?), you just can't complete the actual verification with that phone number. I tried to call the IRS and sat on hold for 90 minutes before giving up. I overpaid what I thought I owed (and couldn't confirm) and a month later they sent me a check for the difference. Fuck the IRS. Fuck ID-me.
