It was really easy to fill out the forms and print them. Normally, I wouldn't spend money for this type of service, as I can just print the PDF document from the internet. This time, however, I just didn't want to have to write all the information. Also, if I wanted to make changes, I loved that I could change any field and not have to write over it (as I would have otherwise).

I found that access to and filling out of standard forms was very easy. I liked that editing and saving was also easy. Being able to log on and access your work from anywhere is a bonus
