| #11 ^ Yes. Once you have a biometric signature, you can use it instead of the real thing. From fooling iPhones with a snapshot of a face to a fingerprint lifted with Scotch tape, it's all been done. Once it's digitized and stored, it's even easier. |

| #6 They're saying this is to cut down on all the scams involving prison inmates stealing other people's identities on the IRS site. Which is a big problem. Seems there are other ways they could fix that, but there's no opportunity to add your face to a biometrics database then. |

| #5 Happening now! Received letter fm IRS explaining (sort of) third payment of covid relief money, to the tune of $1400. Wife did as well. She received in 2021 a $600 debit card and i received 0. Went to website listed in lettter and the id.me directions there, as well as how to access all other aspects of my ‘account.’ And then letter (must have been written by Sleepy Joe) goes off in some rambling manner about claiming credit at filing time, blah, blah, blah. Haven’t called the 800 number yet but not doing the facial recognition thing. |
