You’ll instantly get the PDF, but there’s a major downside — the IRS provides no tools for filling out the form. You will need freeware applications like Apache OpenOffice, Calligra, and other similar tools to do the job if you have no editing software. Therefore, using the PDFLiner service is more quick and straightforward.
