Fill-in Forms


Edsel

Recommended Posts

IRS Forms & Publications; search as you wish, current year, or exact form #, or name or.... Then click on the form. For instance, here's a W-4:

If you find a RED form, look into e-filing instead. And, a few forms still say DRAFT, not for filing (but they often can be e-filed, just not ready for paper filing, yet.)

Can you be more specific about the form you need?

Some PDF programs allow "writing" on them, even if the file was not created as a fill in form.  I use foxit too, and I don't recall having any issues marking up forms when needed.

I dropped Adobe years ago because they added a setting, with a default, which caused some files to appear in an alternate font, even though the file had embedded fonts the file designer intended to be used.

Specifically looking for Form 8879.  Thanks for the link, but it opens up forms that are not fillable.

When I click the link, the form that comes up is not fillable but in the top right corner is a button to open in another viewer.  If I click that, and open in Acrobat DC (the free version) the form becomes fillable.  I am using Firefox for my browser.  I don't know if that helps.

Sounds like you have PDFs opening in your browser. The only time I would use that setting is if there was no pdf reader on the computer. Unfortunately, it seems to be a default setting because so my of my clients end up in that PDF purgatory with no clue how to get out. 🤨
