Annnd this is why a refuse to verify with IDs online and use services like Plaid. And the web of T&C’s from multiple 3rd party services like this will mean all of them get shielded from blame.

The IRS made me since I used a different service to file my takes this year. It was a pain in the ass. Apparently my existing id.me login wasn’t enough, they wanted a video call or a scan of my face. There was no other option. It was a pain.

they tried that with me. I just told em to fuck off.
if you make it impossible to identify myself through standard means, you don’t get my tax dollars. 🤷 fuck em.

I would have, but they owed me money, so I needed to get my money.
