Login.gov permits me if the IRS could do identity proofing.

The IRS can't do identity proofing (hence the need for ID.me, which is implementing "remote or in-person identity proofing"), and login.gov doesn't do it for the agency. Login.gov can only record whether the identity was created at IAL-1 or IAL-2.

Use of login.gov is orthogonal to the question of ID.me.
