Justin- I'm guessing that you started out Saving-As from Preview, and subsequent attempts to use Adobe Reader on that saved copy were unsuccessful. After all the discussion, no one mentioned that they tried downloading Schedule M-1. So I searched the IRS site and found f1120fm1.pdf. That was the only "Schedule M-1" I could find there. Guess what? It DOES have saving enabled. But only "Save As" from Adobe Reader. Then I tried opening a filled-in copy using Preview and was able to edit it further. But the Saved-As copy from Preview had all the entered data deleted. Then I opened this newly emptied copy in Adobe Reader, and it no longer would let me save changes. Moral: DO NOT use Preview to fill out your tax forms! It is too late to help you with your assignment, but this little lesson will definitely save me some grief come tax time. Fred
