I know this one only too well. I got burned on it with several forms last year before I went back and looked at them and found no data. What I ended up doing was using Acrobat to fill in the form and print it. Then date and sign in blue ink, scan back in so I have a complete copy of the original. Extra work, yes. But when the IRS and/or Post Office loses your stuff, it's a lot easier to reprint that scanned original than to print, sign and date a new copy. Which does help if you also send all correspondence to the IRS Certified/Return Receipt. But since the OP only wants to fill out and email copy to his instructor, I would say that printing to PDF from Acrobat should work for him. (I know, it's not free) -- Edo ergo sum
