Took my first selfie today

Not that I wanted to, but the IRS won't let me file without facial recognition.
Don't know if it will help them, I haven't shaved in over two months and I don't look anything like my drivers license.
I also doubt they have anything to compare it to. I try to keep a low profile and have never found pictures of myself online under my real name ~ "Pyrate" has several results when I've searched.

Anyone else run into a facial recognition requirement when filing taxes?

Never ran into this

Not yet? Just the standard give us all your other information requests.

I change my appearance drastically every 5 years too keep the fuzz off of my back.

You can use a razor for that…

Btw the selfie requirement was shot down early February.

I filed on freefillableforms in March, didn't have to do a selfie 🙃

Go figure. The day after I use it, this happens:

Oh man… sorry bout that. I used freetaxusa.com and there was no requirement for a selfie.
