Is it safe to use the free federal ezfile online for your tax return?

Asked by Chikipi (1843) January 26th, 2010 from iPhone

I usually purchase turbo tax, but my co-worker told me today that I could go to the gov site and do an ezfile if under 52K for federal, but I would have to pay another small fee of $10 or so for the state return. I went to the gov website today, but it spins off to another website and it warns that I am leaving the site. Once I read all of the disclaimers at the linked site to file, my stomach turned to knots and I started to question if this is something I should do. Have you used the free federal ezfile online? Which one? Do you think it’s safe (why? or why not?)
