It’s possible that this game is just filling out numbers in the PDF for you and you can fill out your personal info manually, sign it, and mail it in. If it’s trying to do E-file for you, then yeah I would be scared.

Other services efile for you, why would this be any different
Becoming an "Authorized IRS e-file Provider" is a significant hurdle that is not necessary to producing a real, mailable, tax return.

It's certainly a convenience, and most serious software would try to include it, but I don't think MSCHF are going for convenience. The Yahoo headline and article uses the word "file" but the video doesn't.

If they actually got this certified, it would be the ultimate troll!
Thank you, you're the only one who's provided a reasonable answer instead of "it's a joke"
this service is a joke
It’s a conceit, not a joke. It’s serious satire.
