I mean the IRS has one job, to receive taxes, why do I have to go through a third party company that I do not trust, to do this. As backwards and stupid as it is in this internet enabled age, I still file paper forms. At least until the irs can get it's online act together, (Based on the information in the parent article, this may be never)

But it's completely free of charge, you don't need an Intuit account or sign their EULA/privacy policy or anything like that. And the official documentation for the tool itself is issued by the IRS [0]. [0] https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5274.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5274.pdf
