  • No. The tax professional who files the return keeps the signed Form 8879; it is not sent to the IRS.

  • No. The editor works right in your browser: the file is never uploaded to a server. So you can safely edit contracts, passports and other personal documents.

  • No. When you change the document's text, the edited page is saved so that the old value is not left in the file - it cannot be copied or seen in the properties. Pages you did not change stay as normal text you can select and search.
