Note that this isn't "the IRS." It's an IRS public-private partnership that people below some income threshold can use for free.

No, it’s usable by any income level. You’re thinking of Free File, which lets lower income users use TurboTax and other products for free.

> Free File Fillable Forms is the only IRS Free File option available for taxpayers whose income (AGI) is greater than $72,000. Taxpayers whose income is $72,000 or less qualify for IRS Free File partner offers, which can guide you through the preparation and filing of your tax return, and may include state tax filing.

Yes. I misread. Though it's understandable how one could confuse Free File Fillable Forms eith IRS Free File partner offers.

As a comment upthread said. It's presumably legit because it's linked to from the IRS site but almost everything else sets off alarms.

The IRS could not come up with a website and TLD that sounds more like a scam if they tried. :)

Yes, although you can get to it directly from the irs.gov site it does seem confusing at first that it’s on a .com
