To be clear, I'm not advocating for online age verification. I'm very much against it in any form. I'm just curious from a technical standpoint if it's possible somehow to construct an accurate age verification system that doesn't compromise a user's privacy? i.e., it doesn't expose the person's identity to anyone nor leaves behind a paper trail that can be traced to that person?

We could just make the middle man somebody who already needs that information, e.g. the IRS.

    You could, but that wouldn't address OPs question. The IRS is known for giving info to other parts of the government to aid in prosecution. And the gov has shown they are terrible at cyber security, so you might as well just post your browser history on the web.
