Are they though (that much plugged in)? I have done quite a few iterations of IRS contacts, checking on returns, paying fees online, paying taxes online, etc over the past few years. Without yet having to deal with ID.me. Enough that at this point I would definitely do some work before giving in. So are they that prevalent really? Certainly NOT used for all account services.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoID.me is currently the only login/identity mechanism that can be used for handling business with the IRS online, although it is possible to file a return without an ID.me account. Paper filings, of course, require no online account. https://cyberscoop.com/irs-facial-recognition-identity-privacy/ https://cyberscoop.com/irs-facial-recognition-identity-priva... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-id-me-tax-file-2022/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-id-me-tax-file-2022/ https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/new-identity-verification-process-to-access-certain-irs-online-tools-and-services https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/new-identity-verification-proce...
- creer 3y agoOh I had heard of it, of course. And heard that it was being replaced / phased out - quite a while back. For a few years now. And still haven't had to deal with it once (for contacts, for filings other than tax returns, for fee and tax payments.) So I was only questioning "that much plugged in".
