California FTB has set up their forms WITHOUT the "rights" necessary to allow a user to save a filled in form without having the full (i.e. costly) version of Adobe. The IRS has chosen to provide their forms WITH the necessary "rights". California FTB should hear people's displeasure. << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |

Perhaps > this is not current, but I just got it off the above link. of the Adobe Reader AND a CA-540.pdf file from the FTB web site on 1/1/2005 - and the filled-in information would not save. It saves ONLY the blank form. Apparently, one needs the FULL version of Acrobat to save fill-in information. << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |

| CA tax rorms from FTB I am informed that teh California Franchise Tax Board may be providing forms for 2004 and 2005 which CANNOT be saved once filled in, unless you have a FULL and LATEST VERSION of Adobe Acrobat. This is in contrast to prior years and with current IRS practice of providing forms which can be filled in and saved when using Adobe Acrobat READER, not the FULL VERSION. Please contact the FTB and express your displeasure. << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |
