What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
What do you like best?
I use Quickbooks and have to send out 1099NT which is not a capability in Quickbooks. 1099 forms must be scannable and I can purchase the printed forms and fill it out on PDFfiller. I can then print on the scannable forms and they are perfectly aligned. Saves time and money. Also, I like the fact that I can create a template so I don't have to re-type the same company information, tax numbers, etc. The product is easy to use.
What do you dislike?
I don't really dislike anything about PDFfiller. Other than maybe the fact that I probably don't use it enough to offset the cost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use - I intended to use for a month and then cancel, but I ended up keeping it.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I mostly use for 1099NT's as mentioned above. I really need to explore!

Its easy to use
Its easy to use, and has so many options.Affordable and does everything i could want. Perfect for my shop. I'm extremely happy with this program!
2019-10-12
So helpful. I can fill out the form instead of scanning, printing, filling out, and then scanning again so that I can send it back. I did try other programs... this one is by far the very best.

Great Customer Service
We thought this was a bit scammy when we were charged for a plan no one recalled signing up for but once we found the email address associated with the account they cancelled the subscription and refunded the charge, no questions asked. Very pleased!
2023-03-27
Only ever used Adobe in the past. Found this affordable option. It is fantastic. User friendly and effective app. I applied for a rental with a heap of forms to fill out and now our family are living in it. I accidentally signed the 1year subscription. Advised that I only wanted to use it during the trial period for a purpose and happy to pay for one month. They communication was quick and on point. They summarised and actioned exactly what I requested. Only charged me $30 for the month and cancelled my future subscription. I would happily use this again. Thank you.

What do you like best?
Simple to use, the ability to save, update and reuse common forms is really helpful
What do you dislike?
Haven't found anything yet but have been only using 60 days or so
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
detailed forms that only require minor changes can be saved as templates.
2021-07-30
I had to ask for help in creating the 2020 form 1099.Anna was very helpful sent me the link to get the form. I still have problem saving the new form and renaming it.
2021-03-12
I love the product just don't have the need to justify a full subscription. I enjoyed the trial period and had great Customer Service when needed. Very prompt with replies. I would recommend this product.

Clueless in North Carolina!
I was clueless as to how to fill out the tax documents for my 1099 employees and your company walked me through it and I accomplished the task confidently.
