No, at age 95 my dad doesn't have the cognitive capacity to create his own IRS account, and there's no one in the facility that I trust to help him. That's why I asked if I could create it on his behalf.
I tried helping him create an account when I last visited, but ID.me blocked it for an unspecified reason. There was nothing we could do. It took about two weeks until they said he could try again, and by then I was back home, halfway across the country.
