I had to refile my last 4 years 1040 and all tax docs. After going through the IRS web docs but unable to edit them I found all the docs on the PDFfiller website. After a little work with the editors I was able to process professional docs. I bought a year sub and look to see if I can use this app for other business uses.

The only issue I have is that old documents that I thought would be saved are not. That is my issue, however, and not yours. Everything else is great.
