You could try to find someone who will sell to you informally, like on localbtc.

Depending on where you live, you can also buy some BTC at an ATM without providing ID, but the limits are low, like $800/day where I live.

So you have a few options, but if you want to buy major amounts, it's best to use a real exchange that will require ID.

Photo ID is not required for dealing with BTC. I have heard some exchange takes live photo while opening account.

Depending on the bitcoin exchange you use, the rules also varies, but most of them gives you ability to trade up to 100$ w/o ID, however you are also limited by transfer of money options to/from your account. Verification process takes about 2-3 days in most exchanges, then the limit is lifted up to 1000 $ or so.

Yeah, it is possible but you have a limit like 100$ in a week or so. Depends on the page you are trading on

when you trade some exchange ,it needs to be confirmed. then you need a Photo ID. if you have driving licence in English it will be accepted. otherwise, you can use passport. I think passport is most suitable way to confirm.

For someone in the USA, is it possible to have:

1) A desktop or online based wallet if you don't have a photo ID.
2) Ability to buy btc without needing to provide ID.

That is scary to someone who has had identity stolen before.

Thanks - please be kind.  I am new and still learning.  I have not yet bought any BTC of course.  

Wallets don`t want your ID. Use any wallet that is "offline" and you have access to the private key.
You can buy BTC from kraken. The first 2 tears you can write whatever you want (the 4 tier request you to submit your ID).

I mean you could but IF you live in the USA I would suggest doing none of those things. For one thing it seems like your questions are geared towards a tax evasive setup and if that is the case the IRS is gonna be up your

ass you wait (but I bet you know this). Also secondly once you get your BTC and profit say you dont think the IRS is going to wonder where all this money came from? Pay your taxes man it will be a lot easier than this headache

and constant worry imho. Choice is yours though.

I don't understand why you felt it necessary to conjure up that fantasy.  If you must know, I had my identity stolen once and do not care to upload photo IDs to every stranger on the internet. Sorry if that offends you, but some of us old farts are pretty skeptical.

For someone in the USA, is it possible to have ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

1) A desktop or online based wallet that won't ask for verification, phone, or photo ID to use it ever. Not Coinbase - they do require this.
2) Ability to buy and sell btc without needing to provide photo ID or bank verification or phone number.
3) The bitcoin ATMs by me even require a photo and phone # verification!  Is there a way around this?

I have spent the past week researching this and every time someone says they have a good idea for a wallet or exchange, it turns out in order to do the entire process of making a wallet and buying and selling, AT SOME POINT you have to give a phone number, photo ID, or connect a bank account.

Any recommendations to accomplish 1 - 3?  Is it not even possible in the first place?

Thanks - please be kind.  I am new and still learning.  I just want to buy and hold maybe .05 BTC at this time.  That's it, nothing fancy, no fishy motives, lol.  
Yes, of course you can save, sell and buy Bitcoin without ID.
Coinbase offers "third party walket". That means, that you do not own private keys. Your own wallet doesn't need your ID. You have full privacy.
Take a look at this tutorial about wallets.

Several exchangers have limits, where you needn't provide your ID. For example Bitpanda. You needn't provide your ID, when you sell Bitcoin to a certain amount.
There are also exchangers, who sell Bitcoins without ID. But I have no experiences about them. Baught BTC from a legendary member here in forum.
