To place a stamp, select the desired option, move your cursor to the appropriate location on the form, and click to apply it. To reposition a stamp, click and drag it to a new location.

Right-clicking on a stamp provides options to copy, paste, or delete.

Checkmarks

The Checkmark option allows you to place checkmarks anywhere on the return. These are commonly used to indicate reviewed items.

Right-clicking on a checkmark provides options to copy, paste, or delete.

Text Comments

The Typewriter option allows you to add text comments anywhere on the form.

To add a comment, select the icon and click the desired location. A text box will appear where you can enter your comment. Click outside the text box to save.

By default, stamps and checkmarks are not included when printing, but text comments will print.
