OneForm's templates are tax checkups written for accounting and CPA firms. Each one is a complete form: the questions, the logic that skips what doesn't apply, a welcome screen, and instructions for the report OneFormAI drafts from every response.

## Use a template

1. Click **Create** in the menu and choose **From a template**. You can also click **New form** on the **Forms** page and choose **Start from a template**.
2. Filter by **Business**, **Real estate** or **Personal**, or leave **All** selected.
3. Read the card: what the template asks, **Creates:** (the report the client gets) and how many questions it has.
4. Click **Use template**.

The new form opens in the builder as a draft. Change any question, then publish it when you're ready. See [Publish a form](https://oneform.si/help/forms/publish-a-form/).

## Good to know

- **Templates have reports turned on.** Open the form's **Report** tab to read or change the instructions OneFormAI follows. See [Set up a report on a form](https://oneform.si/help/reports/set-up-a-report/).
- **Your firm's design is used.** If your firm has a design preset set for new forms, the template starts in that design. See [Brand your forms](https://oneform.si/help/forms/brand-your-forms/).
- **Templates don't use OneAI Tokens to create.** Tokens are used later, when reports are drafted from responses.
- **Want something else?** Describe it and let OneFormAI build it instead. See [Create a form with AI](https://oneform.si/help/forms/create-a-form-with-ai/). Or choose **Blank form** to start from scratch.
- **Templates aren't the same as sample forms.** Sample forms show off what OneForm can do. See [Sample forms](https://oneform.si/help/getting-started/sample-forms-and-data/).

## Why don't I see a template's logo or booking link?

Templates leave out firm-specific details. Add your logo in **Settings** and turn on **Show the firm logo** on the welcome screen. Add a call at the end on the thank-you screen. See [Welcome and thank-you screens](https://oneform.si/help/forms/welcome-and-thank-you-screens/).
