I was happy to know I could use a blank form to enter my new figures when I had to file an amended form for both the Federal and State Taxes for 2014. Thank you.

A time saver A great way to fill, edit and sign PDF documents easily and on the go. Create professional-looking documents even if you are out of the office. Affordable and efficient. It includes many customizable templates for different purposes and the Drag and Drop feature makes it easy to use. Compatible with a variety of formats. None, really. It takes some getting used to after using tools such as Adobe, but overall it's pretty intuitive.
