              -- click OK.

              After saving each file, close the SAVE dialog box and use your browser's BACK button to return to the summary page; clicking the "X" in the upper right-hand corner will close your browser and will terminate your session.
              We also maintain your return, as well as any supporting forms filed with it, on our secure server; if at some point in the future you need to print a copy of a form, simply return to this site with your social security number, last name and password and you will be able to retrieve and print your form(s).
