login.gov works fine with ssa.gov, it looks like irs.gov needs to add them as an option.

> login.gov works fine with ssa.gov Could you please be more specific? How do you know? The flow I've been using goes like this, starting at the IRS website: 1) irs.gov homepage -> click 'Sign in to Your Account' 2) https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account -> click 'Sign in to your Online Account' 3) https://sa.www4.irs.gov/secureaccess/ui/?TYPE=blahblah https://sa.www4.irs.gov/secureaccess/ui/?TYPE=blahblah (uuid/session url param) I'd consider using login.gov, but apparently someone didn't finish the job yet even though it's been at least one year since this was announced. It occurs to me SSO is nice in theory but one might surmise the diffusion of responsibility is problematic.

    Thank you. Of all those links I found this the best primary source https://www.gsaig.gov/sites/default/files/ipa-reports/GSA%20Misled%20Customers%20on%20Login.gov%27s%20Compliance%20with%20Digital%20Identity%20Standards%20%28JE23-003%29_Redacted.pdf https://www.gsaig.gov/sites/default/files/ipa-reports/GSA%20... I don't really understand it, but IMO it will be a real shame if interagency squabbling or whatever this is forces the public to using id.me for login. Fingers crossed things shape up!

  ssa.gov has a "Sign in" link that leads to buttons for login.gov (which I have successfully used), id.me, and a legacy password for the site. To clarify, this is the Social Security Administration. It seems the Internal Revenue Service still needs to onboard to login.gov.
