Interesting that third parties like TurboTax aren't required to obtain copies of your photo ID.

I looked it up, and there is an article from the end of last year that says they are about to be required or are already required.

I can't recall ever putting my license on one of these tax preppers, but I am also older and more privacy concerned in my older age, so I would definitely not do it now.

At that point, might be better to hand-file your return. In many of these programs they offer you the ability to print and mail your return.

Your refund takes longer of course.

Eh, I’ve only gotten like $20 back max the last three years. They can take as long as they want, I will not be giving any third parties anything that they truly do not need.
