"Besides, are there actually people so stupid that they would give their SSN/info to a site like that?"

Honest question. Are you saying that this particular site is less secure or all online e-filing services less secure? This is one of the options recommended by IRS[1] for e-filing.

All e-filing services (include free file fillable forms) result in a third party seeing your data on the way to the IRS. This is true for both online and offline tax preparation software (e.g. TurboTax).
