this great! I mean it. So many unuseable, scam pdf form sites ... I just completed a form that failed at other sites including government sites thanks!

There's no instructions of what forms are available. I use two that I've researched and used but a listing of all forms and a more convenient method of printing would be helpful.

I like it, but I do want to use the same form and just change a name and date of birth for a sibling. Can I do that or do I have to fill out the same form all over again?

Other than being billed initially for a 30 days trial, I contacted Customer Service right away and they credited me back the $144 first year right away. Otherwise, I am liking the service so far. Just learning how to use it.
