What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
I would recommend, with caveats about the cost based on how much it would be used. Many government forms and other PDFs are already fillable, so PDFfiller isn't needed that often for the average person. However, it was very nice to use.

I did not like the way my card was charged the $120 initial annual fee. I only wanted to pay by month. That was misleading and I did not appreciate it. If your going to offer the monthly plan, offer it, make the wording more clear. don't try and trick people into the yearly plan and make them go through customer service to get the refund. The reason I give four stars is because (1) the customer service rep was so helpful in getting me my refund back and (2) you have an awesome product. It is really working well for me.

I complete 1099Misc for my office annually. I just discovered your site which is handy as far as anticipated amending and last minute entries. I am having trouble with the How To's of IRS submitting and multiple entries.
