    They require you to use a third party, ID.me, to even sign in to use it.

    Fuck that.

    Without that, I would love to use it.

      So you’re completing and filing your taxes by mail, I guess? Or using a different third party, like H&R Block?

        The problem is that the actual government is the one requiring me to use a third party company, that is not part of the government, for me to give them information so that the government can verify who I am.

        I use FreeTaxUSA, and never had to do ID.me.

        It’s an arbitrary requirement, that is stupid in the sense that the GOVERNMENT knows everything about me so WHY should I need to use a COMPANY’S bullshit to verify that?
