PSA: Get the Form, Skip the Malware

Hi, Delivered Ones!

While many of us in the United States will be able to e-file our taxes, some will still have to print and mail forms. 

Do yourself a favor and only print forms from the official irs.gov website.

If you do a search for tax forms online, you'll be returned a lot of results. Not thinking clearly at first, I went to one of these sites and requested a Form 1040.

The download wanted me to attach an extension to Chrome.

I canceled it immediately.

Even some reputable sites (looking at you, Adobe) will try and trick you into putting extensions into your browser. 

I went to the IRS website and downloaded the necessary form.

Now, hopefully, my stupid printer has printed it out properly instead of mangling it somehow.
