I filled them out with evince (buggy on one field of the 1040 form when saving; you can save the filled-in file and the form still remains fillable afterwards, which I wasn't able to do with Adobe when I used it a few years back, but the bugginess was in the fact that it didn't want to save with the Filing Status "married filing separately", changing it to "qualified widower" for reasons that remain obscure to me, but OUCH). Google-Chrome is very light and nice and convenient (google-chrome <file.pdf>, but I couldn't save the filled-in pdf, even when printing to file. It prints well with the evince-filled pdf, though, and I printed with it, because evince has another bug in which it will not believe you want to print on A4 paper unless you're working in an A4 paper locale. I didn't try filling out a form with google-chrome and then printing directly to my printer to see what that would have produced. Some of the forms I use are reusuable from one year to the next, and that's why I'm interested in pdf saving in which the saved file remains modifiable. Good luck with IRS in any case.
