I see. I tested editing, saving and reloading - everything works fine so far. So for next tax returns you can try using Okular if that helps avoiding the Reader ;)

Okular doesn't save the form data as part of the PDF. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267350.

If you move that PDF to some other computer, say from desktop to laptop, your edits are all gone.
Perhaps some KDE file managers are smart enough to move the metadata, but a normal shell "cp here/doc.pdf there" will certainly not.
Really a great thing to discover when you are emaling your PDFs back to your lawyer close to the tax submission deadlines.

Yeah, "save as" does not work, but as a workaround you can print the form to another PDF after you fill the form. That second PDF will carry your data around.
