Has Anyone Here Managed to Set Up an Online IRS Account?

[officerripley]

Wanted to make sure our IRS taxes were paid--have since found out they have been--so went to the IRS site and tried and tried to get an account and after many tries, finally got to the point of where it wanted Huzz's picture to verify his identity and even though our phones are fairly new (iPhone 16), it kept saying "picture doesn't work, try again."

I'm thinking about trying yet again but this time clicking on "If you don't have a smart phone with a camera"; maybe it'll let me email some kind of ID verification to them?

Personally, I wouldn't do that. Even the IRS has been hacked.

Oh no. Glad you posted that; I think that I won't try getting the account after all, thanks.

I don't know who does your taxes but I have an account with H&R block though their website and they email me to let me know what's happening.

We have our taxes done by a large financial/CPA firm here in town. I think I'm going to call them tomorrow and see about getting something like that set up with them; thanks.
