I am trying to get my ten digit customer ID number to get a copy of my tax transcript from the IRS. Where do I find this?

The 10-digit Customer File Number serves as an alternative tracking number to match the transcript to the taxpayer for third-parties such as tax practitioners, lenders and college financial aid offices.

Leave the entry blank if you were not directed by a third-party to enter the number.

I don't know what that means by "10-digit customer ID number." 

[ADDENDUM:  I see @ Mike9241 explained it above while I was typing.  🙂 ]

  If you are trying to register an IRS account, here are the criteria needed to register as listed on the IRS website. 

You need:

• your SSN, date of birth, filing status and mailing address from latest tax return,
• access to your email account,
• your personal account number from a credit card, mortgage, home equity loan, home equity line of credit or car loan, and
• a mobile phone linked to your name (for faster registration) or ability to receive an activation code by mail.

You should first try entering all zeroes and if that doesn't work then you will need to register at the IRS for the 10 digit pin @BWATKINS84.

[AkinaLO]

Please refer to the post made by mesquitebean above for information regarding the ten-digit ID number. It can take up to 21 days to receive your refund.

The most accurate way to track your refund is through the IRS refund tracking through Where's My Refund?.

The 10-digit Customer File Number is alternative tracking number to match a transcript to the taxpayer for third-parties such as tax preparers. You will not need that number to obtain a transcript for your own return.

I have jumped through the hoops to get ID.me verification. I have followed every step recommended so far. I get a message telling me:
