The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will start requiring people to provide a photo of themselves to a third-party company to verify their identification before they can access their online accounts.
This applies to people who created an online account to manage their tax records with the IRS. The login credentials will not work to gain access by summer of 2022. Users will then be required to log in to irs.gov through an online identity verification service called ID.me, which the IRS deems “a trusted technology provider.”
