About the Forms: Summary
- Access to all U.S. Federal Government forms posted on this Website is completely free, instant, unlimited.
- About 17,000 U.S. Federal Government forms posted on this Website are dramatically improved forms posted on U.S. Federal Government Websites. There are dozens of improvements (including an option to export and import data in Acrobat Reader running offline).
- All forms posted on this Website are fillable. In contrast, the number of fillable forms posted on the U.S. Federal Government Websites is about 4,000.
- The fill-in forms posted on this Website are created by Insert-Text-Anywhere-on-Page (ITAOP) method. The ITAOP method is the only realistic option to create a large set of high-quality forms. The speed is much faster than traditional Field-by-Field (FBF) method. The quality is much better.
- There is a long list of errors and elements of low quality in fillable forms posted on U.S. Federal Government Websites. As a result, an average user is unable to fill-in even the 'fillable' forms posted on the government Websites.
- The traditional Field-by-Field (FBF) method used by U.S. Federal Government Agencies is extremely ineffective and slow. It can be used only to create a relatively small number of fillable pages. Clearly it is impossible to create tens of thousands of fillable forms with hundreds of thousands of pages, millions of fields by this method (with respect to the time-frame and number of government employees involved).
- The system of electronic (HTML) online submission of all government forms is not realistic currently. Since U.S. federal government agencies are unable accomplish a single task: to add fill-in fields to tens of thousands of already existing forms in PDF format, it is illogical to expect from U.S. federal government agencies to be able to accomplish both tasks: to recreate all the forms AND to add all the fields in HTML format.
- The Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) is not realistic while government agencies continue to use the traditional Field-by-Field (FBF) method -- the only method available to them.
- The direct loss of American people as a result of problems with tens of thousands of forms posted on U.S. Federal Government Websites is tens of billions (if not hundreds of billions) of dollars per year. Plus the indirect loss (that is much bigger than the direct loss).
- The situation with the gigantic number of forms posted on the Websites of the 50 states is not better than with the federal forms.
- The financial loss per month caused by problems with all the government form system is not only bigger than the cost of Iraq (both war and rebuilding) per month, but even bigger than the cost of all the war on terrorism. As a defense-related example, the number of fillable forms of the United States Department of Army is zero out of 1589.
