On form 3115 in places where you must write descriptions and show calculations. The boxes are so small, how do you format the final print so it looks like a spreadsheet?

If we are to make the final Form 3115 look legible and easily comprehend-able, what word processor can you use to format it like you want it to look, and then cut and paste it into the little box so that it will maintain it's look when it prints out on the form?

Calculations (and anything else that dies not fit in the form) need to be an attachment to the 3115.

So just put together a separate attachment with that information (for the addition information, be sure to note which line number from the 3115 you are referring to).

Then I would scan the finished 3115 with the attachment to put it in one PDF.  Then attach that combined PDF the tax return.
