Fill-in Forms Instructions
Fill-in forms allow you to enter information while the form is displayed by Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader and then print the completed form out. There is no computation, validation or verification of the information you enter and you are still responsible for entering all required information (instructions may require some information to be handwritten on the form). Your printout cannot be used to file electronically with the Department of Revenue. Fill-in forms give you a cleaner, crisper printout for your records and for filing with the Department of Revenue.
 
Software Requirements
 
To view, complete and print Revenue fill-in forms you´ll need the freely available Adobe Reader software (version 4.0.5 or later) installed on your computer. Adobe Reader does not allow you to save your completed forms to disk. The ability to save completed forms is available commercially with the Adobe Acrobat product suite.
 
To Complete the Form
  • Download the form. Your Web browser may be configured with an Adobe Reader plug-in to automatically open the file within your browsers window upon download. To download the file directly to disk, right click on the form title link then select "Save Target/Link As..." when presented with a menu.
  • Use Adobe Reader to open the file if necessary.
  • Select the hand tool from the Adobe Reader toolbar menu. You can use the hand tool to move the page around so that you can view all the areas on it.
  • Position the hand pointer inside a form field and click. The I-beam pointer allows you to type text. The arrow pointer allows you to select a field, a check box, a radio button, or an item from a list.
  • Press Tab to accept the field change and go to the next field.
  • Press Shift+Tab to accept the field change and go to the previous field.
  • Use your mouse to select an area of the form that is not inside a form field before printing your form. If a form field is active (contains the blinking bar) the contents will not print.
  • If the fill-in form is displayed within your Web browser window, be sure to use the printer button on the Adobe Reader toolbar menu to print the form instead of your Web browser´s print function.
