Essential software Being able to fill in pdf's is great! It saves so many steps and looks more professional. Before I would have to print a form, fill it in by hand, scan it back into the computer and then send it on. Now I can fill in necessary information, neatly typed and send it on. Once in awhile I have a hard time making it do what I want when I am trying to change a document.

Absolute timesaver Absolute timesaver and easy to use once you are in the form. It's an absolute timesaver when filling in repetitive forms or having to sign and email something for signature. Ease of moving around website is a little tricky sometimes

I find the programming impressive. I find the website less so as it is really quite hard to find out how do so such simple and presumably popular things as setting up formatted forms for use on a website. Too, find some terms a bit confusing such as template vice a fillable pdf vice a document. Maybe a startup, online primer to show exactly how to do basic things and find basic options. I will say this. My call to your support staff was excellent. Your agent told me exactly what I needed to know in that instance.

Just like last year! I must file my church's taxes for our employees every year. I found this site last year. I love it! I prints the information I need. I can make copies and send it. I could send directly to IRS but chose not to do that route!!
