7. It gets worse than that ...

Anytime you log into any .gov website (like this IRS link),
https://sa.www4.irs.gov/sso/login/IDME?op=signup&lang=,
you'll have to create a government account (called ID.me)! that you'll use every time you log into any .gov site.

Creating this account, you'll have to create it using your phone or a computer with a camera built in,
because the government will use your camera to take a selfie of you and compare it with the picture on your ID (Drivers License or Passport) that you have to upload.
This is the excuse, but what they're really doing with your selfie that they took, is create a facial recognition photo.
The SW used to take your selfie is designed to calculate curves & undulations on your face, that they can't retrieve from your ID.

Think about the implications of that!
