IRS Decides It Won’t Make You Take A Selfie To Access Your Taxes After Fierce Backlash
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will no longer force taxpayers to submit a scan of their face to access their taxes online.
The agency had previously announced plans to require users to sign into the IRS website through third-party identity verification firm ID.me and provide a government identification document alongside a selfie. The IRS said the move would provide users with greater security and accessibility to their tax information.
