IRS ID Platform
October 29, 2022

I needed to log on to my IRS account and found I had to use the ID.me product to gain access to my account. Typical information was required, but the driver's license # and pictures of both the front & back of the driver's license, then my own selfie shot were required. The program asked for access through a URL for all pictures. Very different security feature. Felt a bit invasive having to allow the ID.me program access to my phone camera to comply with the program requirements.
