# 'My Forms' Workspace in Tax Services

## Overview

The **My forms** workspace is the central place for managing tax reports in Tax Services. Here, you can create, edit, and transmit tax forms to German tax authorities.

The **My forms** workspace in Tax Services is divided into three tabs:
- Drafts
- Forms
- Transmitted

To open a form from one of these overview tabs, click the form.

### Drafts

The **Drafts** tab shows all forms of the selected unit that are in progress and have not yet been transmitted.

'Drafts' tab

The **Drafts** tab contains the following information:

- Current processing step
- Editor
- Date of the last change
- Form package
- Data type version

Drafts can be opened with a click and then edited. The system automatically locks the forms during editing. Locked forms are highlighted with gray hatching in the overview.

In addition, drafts can be copied or deleted via the three-dot menu next to the **Save** button of the opened draft:
