Transition Operations

The Employment Tax e-file System was designed to replace all previous electronic filing options
available for returns in the 940, 941 and 944 programs.
Employment Tax Returns can now be filed through the Modernized e-File (MeF) System. MeF
will accept Forms 940, 940-PR, 941, 941-PR, 941-SS, 943, 943-PR, 944, and 945.
The following MeF publications are available for the 94x MeF program and are found on the
MeF User Guides and Publications page on IRS.gov: Publication 4163, MeF Information for
Authorized e-Filed Providers for Business Returns, Publication 4164, MeF Guide for Software
Developers and Transmitter, Publication 5078, MeF Test Package and the MeF Submission
Composition Guide.

2.2

Participation in 94x e-file and OnLine e-Filer Programs

Two Methods of e-Filing 94x Returns
There are only two methods to electronically file 94x Family of Tax Returns. All employers
with a 94x filing requirement who choose to file electronic 94x returns must apply. To
participate in either the 94x e-file Program or the 94x OnLine e-Filer Program, follow one of the
two methods below:

2.2.1 94x e-file Program Method
Become a Reporting Agent, and receive a 5 digit PIN to sign 94x e-file returns transmitted via
the Employment Tax e-file System. Potential e-file participants that use the 94x e-file Program

4

select the Reporting Agent provider option on their IRS e-file Application. Applications can be
completed on-line after first registering for e-Services.
Authorized Reporting Agents prepare, sign and e-file all 94x Family of Returns for
his/her clients. For complete guidelines refer to Publication 3112 and Revenue Procedure 200740.

2.2.2

94x OnLine e-Filer Program Method

Become a 94x OnLine e-Filer, also known as the IRS Authorized Signer and sign using a 10
digit PIN to e-file your own 94x Family of Returns.

2.3

Who Can Participate in 94x Programs

Businesses and organizations that have employees and a liability to file employment and
unemployment tax returns and a desire to file returns electronically, can apply to participate in
IRS e-file.
NOTE: 94x Legacy will no longer accept testing for new software developers to e-file
returns. This will not affect current software developers for 94x Legacy testing.
New software developers are to use Modernized e-File (MeF) when testing.

2.3.1 94x Aggregate Return e-Filer Participants
Agents approved by the Internal Revenue Service to file Schedule R (Form 941 and 940),
Allocation Schedule for Aggregate Form 941/940 filers are defined by Section 3504 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The general procedures for designating an agent and reporting and
filing as an agent are set forth in Rev. Proc 70-6, 1970-1C.B. 420.
The Schedule R (Form 941 and 940) is filed electronically via the Employment Tax e-file
System. To be eligible to file the Schedule R (Form 941 and 940) the Form 2678,
Employer/Payer Appointment of Agent, is required to be mailed to the applicable address listed
on the instructions for approval before the Schedule R (Form 941 and 940) can be filed.
Once the application for Form 2678 has been approved the agent must file one 941 and 940
return for each tax period, using the agent’s own Employer Identification Number (EIN)
regardless of the number of employers for whom the agent acts. The agent must maintain
records that will disclose the full wages paid for each of his clients, as reported on the Schedule
R.
An Agent may:


Elect to perform all of the agent tasks himself, or

5



Enter a contract with a third party, such as a Reporting Agent or certified public
accountant.

All agents, employers, and payers are liable for filing all returns and making all tax deposits and
payments while the Form 2678 appointment is in effect.
To file the Schedule R (Form 941 and 940) Aggregate return electronically, the approved agent
must decide which of the following Customer Roles to use to sign and transmit the return:


Apply to become a Reporting Agent and use the 5-digit PIN to sign e-file returns for your
clients



Apply for a 94x On-line 10 digit PIN, used to sign your own returns.

The agent can choose from the Authorized IRS e-File Provider options listed in Section 2.4,
Customer Roles and Responsibilities.

2.3.2 94x OnLine e-Filer Participants
Employers that want to sign and file their own 94x family of returns electronically must
complete the 94x PIN Registration Process to become a participant in the 94x OnLine e-Filer
Program.
Use IRS Approved Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software to complete the 94x On-Line
PIN Registration Process. IRS Approved (COTS) software is made available through an
Authorized IRS Online Filing Provider who provides software that can be downloaded from
an Internet site and prepared Off-line, or through an Online Internet site.
Once the PIN Registration is completed and approved, the applicant will become a 94x OnLine
e-Filer Participant also referred to as the IRS Authorized Signer.
The IRS Authorized Signer will receive a 10 digit PIN used to sign electronically filed 94x
returns through the IRS Approved COTS software through a designated Transmitter that will
batch, bundle, and transmit files to the IRS.
The designated Third Party Transmitter sends the returns to the Service for processing via
Employment Tax e-file System.
Complete guidelines are referenced in Publication 3823, under Section 2.4, 94x e-file and 94x
OnLine e-Filer Customer Roles.

2.3.3 Authorized Signer of the Business Entity
The signature provisions for electronically filed Forms 94x (944, 941 and 940) are defined in this
section. Employers with a 94x filing requirement must decide how to file electronic returns and

6

who will be the authorized signer of the return. Only a Principal for the business or organization
can apply to become the IRS Authorized Signer and participate in the 94x OnLine e-Filer
Program.
This method is not acceptable for tax professionals. Form 8655 Reporting Agent Authorization,
gives the tax professional authority to sign the client’s return with their Reporting Agent’s 5 digit
PIN, NOT the OnLine e-filer’s assigned 10 digit PIN. The OnLine e-filer’s 10 digit PIN is not to
be shared; therefore, if the tax professional enters the client’s 10 digit PIN on their behalf, they
are doing so without a signed authorization.
The Authorized Signer acts for the entity in legal and/or tax matters and is held liable for filing
all 94x returns and making all 94x tax deposits and payments, adhering to all rules and
regulations as set forth in this Publication 3823, Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer’s Tax
Guide and Revenue Procedures 2007-40.
An Authorized signer of the Business Entity must complete the 94x OnLine PIN Registration
Process 45 days in advance of the return due date, to allow time to timely file returns as required.

2.3.4 Acceptable Contact(s) for 94x as IRS Authorized Signer
The IRS Authorized Signer for Forms 94x (944, 941, 944) should be a Principal for the
business or organization represented, as follows:

2.3.5 PIN Registration Processing Rules
The IRS will send the PIN to the IRS Authorized Signer via U.S. Mail within 7 – 10 days, after
the PIN Registration Process is completed. Allow 45 days for the PIN Registration Process to
complete.
IRS can not activate the PIN until the signed Statement of Receipt has been returned back,
acknowledging that the PIN was received by the signer of the PIN Registration. The statement of
Receipt should be returned within 10 days.
The Service has prescribed in Publication 3823 (94x electronic filing instructions) that an
electronically filed Form 94x is signed by the entry of the IRS Authorized Signer’s PIN. The
IRS Authorized Signer is allowed to electronically file the 94x Family of Returns designated on
the 94x PIN Registration Record, through a designated Transmitter that will batch, bundle, and
transmit files to the IRS.

2.3.6 Rules for 94x OnLine e-Filers
Adhere to IRS provided host of information on the services of Authorized IRS e-file Providers
and IRS e-file products available to assist in making e-file decisions.
IRS Approved COTS software should only be used by the IRS Authorized Signer referenced on
the PIN Registration, as the business signer.
94x OnLine e-Filers cannot send returns directly to the Service therefore must determine what
types of services are needed by their business.
Review the 94x e-file Program Customer Roles referenced below in Section 2.4., for information
on the services of other Authorized IRS e-file Providers that may be needed, when ready to file
returns electronically.

10

Approved 94x OnLine e-Filers are only allowed submission of 5 returns a year, using the IRS
Approved COTS software.
Approved 94x OnLine e-Filers can not file bulk returns or e-file returns for other businesses.
Review the additional governing rules and regulations for information you need to know,
regarding the roles and responsibilities of Authorized IRS e-file Providers:

Revenue Procedure 2007-40, Authorized IRS e-file Provider Responsibilities



Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation

94x e-file and 94x OnLine e-Filer Program Customer Roles

2.4.1 Software Developers
A Software Developer develops software for the purposes of formatting electronic return
information according to publications issued by the IRS that set forth electronic return
specifications and record layouts or tax returns.

2.4.2 Transmitters
A Transmitter is a firm, organization, or individual that receives returns and 94x PIN
Registrations electronically, from clients, reformats the data (if necessary), batches them with
returns or electronic 94x PIN Registrations from other clients, and then transmits the data to the
IRS. A Transmitter does not have signature authority for the taxpayers that it services.
Transmitters are identified with an Electronic Transmitter Identification Number (ETIN).

2.4.3 Reporting Agents
A Reporting Agent is an accounting service, franchiser, bank, or other entity that complies with
Rev. Proc. 2012-32, IRB 2012-34, and is authorized to prepare and electronically file Forms 940,
941, and 944 for a taxpayer. Reporting Agents sign all of the electronic returns they file with a 5digit PIN signature. The Reporting Agent PIN is issued through the IRS e-file Application
Process as a result of selecting Reporting Agent as a provider option on the application.
Reporting Agents may transmit their own returns, or may use the services of a third party
transmitter.

2.4.4 Electronic Return Originators (EROs)
An Electronic Return Originator (ERO) is any entity that "originates" the electronic submission
of tax returns to the IRS. The ERO is identified by an Electronic Filing Identification Number
(EFIN). An ERO does not originate its own employment tax returns (Form 94x family); a third
party provider must be used for this purpose.

11

An ERO does not have signature authority and should not be issued a PIN to sign an OnLine
Employment Tax Return as the signer for the employer. If the ERO applied for multiple roles,
indicating on his IRS e-File Application that he wants to be a Reporting Agent then and only
then will he be granted signature authority for the client and tax periods referenced on his Form
8655 submitted to IRS for processing.

2.4.5 94x OnLine Filing Provider
A 94x OnLine Filing Provider allows taxpayers to self-prepare returns by entering return data
directly into commercially available IRS approved software. This software can be downloaded
from an Internet site and prepared Off-line, or through an On-line Internet site.

2.4.6 94x OnLine e-Filer
The employer’s authorized signer must apply to become a 94x OnLine e-Filer. Once approved,
he must sign the returns using the 10 digit PIN received from the Service. The PIN should not be
disclosed to anyone. PINs are confidential.
The 94x OnLine e-Filer is an Authorized Signer that electronically files Forms 94x for his
business through a designated Transmitter that will batch, bundle, and transmit files to the IRS,
using IRS Approved Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software.

12

2.5

Responsibilities of 94x Electronic Filers

All IRS e-file participants must adhere to the electronic filing requirements set forth in Revenue
Procedure 2007-40, Authorized IRS e-file Provider Responsibilities, as applicable. Additionally,

before the due date, the return will be deemed timely.
A Rejected Return
An electronic transmission that causes a processing interruption may not be accepted. A
Reporting Agent will be asked to resubmit the return(s). If the transmission is acknowledged as
rejected by the Service, the Reporting Agent should correct the error(s) and retransmit the
return(s) on the same calendar day. If the Reporting Agent chooses not to have the previously
rejected returns retransmitted, or if the return still cannot be accepted for processing, a paper
return must be filed by the later of: (1) the due date of the return; or (2) within five calendar days
of the rejection or notice that the return cannot be retransmitted, with an explanation of why the
return is being filed after the due date.
If a processing interruption occurs due to an electronic transmission, and the Transmitter cannot
promptly correct any transmission error that cause the electronic transmission to reject, then the
Transmitter must take reasonable steps within 24 hours of receiving the rejection to inform the
94x OnLine e-Filer that the return has not been filed. When the Transmitter advises the 94x
OnLine e-Filer that the return has not been filed, the Transmitter must provide the 94x OnLine eFiler with the reject code(s), and the sequence number of each reject code(s).
If the 94x OnLine e-Filer chooses not to have the electronic portion of the return corrected and
transmitted to the Service, or if the electronic portion of the return cannot be accepted for

14

processing by the Service, the 94x On-Line e-Filer must file a paper return by the later of: (1) the
due date of the return; or (2) within five calendar days of the rejection or notice that the return
cannot be retransmitted, with an explanation of why the return is being filed after the due date.
Acknowledgement File
Within two days of the transmission, a Transmitter must retrieve the acknowledgement file in
which the Service states whether it accepts or rejects the returns; match the acknowledgement
file to the original transmission file and send the 94x OnLine e-Filer either an acceptance notice
or a rejection notice. If the Transmitter does not receive an acknowledgement of acceptance
within two work days of the transmission or receives an acknowledgement for a return that was
not transmitted on the designated transmission, the Transmitter should immediately contact the
IRS e-help Desk at 1 (866) 255-0654.
Software Developer
A Software Developer must promptly correct any software errors that may cause, or causes, an
electronic return to be rejected; promptly distribute any such software correction(s); and, ensure
any software package that will be used to transmit returns from multiple Electronic Filers that are
Reporting Agents has the capability of combining these returns into one Service transmission
file.

2.5.3 Penalty for Failure to Timely File a Return
Section 6651(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that for each month (or part thereof) a
return is not filed when required, there is a penalty of 5 percent of the unpaid tax not to exceed
25 percent, absent reasonable cause. A taxpayer does not establish reasonable cause simply by
engaging a competent Electronic Filer to file the taxpayer’s return. However, if the Electronic
Filer has reasonable cause under Section 6651(a) for failing to file the taxpayer’s return, the
taxpayer will also have reasonable cause for that failure, and the failure-to-file penalty will be
abated.

2.5.4 Authorized Signer and Userid/Password Responsibilities
2.5.4.1 94x Signature Requirements
This publication provides complete guidelines and program criteria for employers who are
allowed to file his returns through the Employment Tax e-file System. All 94x returns must be
signed electronically.
There are two Authorized Signer options available to Employment Tax e-file System
participants, as follows:
Option 1 - Reporting Agent PIN

15

Reporting Agents are issued a 5 Digit PIN to sign 94x returns for their clients. Reporting Agents
sign all of the electronic returns they file with a single 5-digit PIN signature. Reporting Agents
are issued their 5-digit PIN through the Third Party Data Store (TPDS) during the e-file
application process, as a result of selecting Reporting Agent as a provider option.
*Note Special Option for Electronic Return Originator (ERO):
If the ERO applied for multiple roles, indicating on his IRS e-file Application that he
wants to be a Reporting Agent then and only then will he be granted signature authority
for the client and tax periods referenced on his Form 8655, submitted for processing.
An ERO that applied, using Form 8655, to become a Reporting Agent, will receive an
IRS issued Reporting Agent 5-digit PIN, once the application is processed. This PIN is
used by the ERO/RA to sign returns for his clients.
Option 2 - 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN
94x OnLine e-Filer (Authorized Signer) is issued a 10 Digit PIN to sign his/her own 94x
returns On-Line. The Authorized Signer must sign their own returns via the approved software
and should not disclose the PIN to anyone. PINs are confidential.
Employers who want to sign and file their own Forms 94x, electronically, must complete the 94x
PIN Registration Process, as an Authorized Signer for their business or organization. For
details, see Section 2.3 under Authorized Signer should be a Principal for the business or
organization.
The 10-digit PIN is issued by the Electronic Management System (EMS) Customer Data Base
(CDB) to the IRS Authorized Signer to sign the 94x returns, once the approval process is
completed.

3.1.2 Reporting Agent IRS e-file Application Process Requirements
Special Note:
Reporting Agents must adhere to the following:


Revenue Procedure 2012-32, Requirements for Completing and Submitting Form



Publication 1474, Technical Specification Guide for Reporting Agent Authorization

8655, Reporting Agent Authorization
and Federal Tax Depositors

Reporting Agents must:


Submit an Agent’s List containing the names, EINs, and addresses of the taxpayers for whom
they will file returns. Publication 1474 page 13 Exhibit 2 shows how to create an agent list.



Submit an authorization made on Form 8655, Reporting Agent Authorization with a
revision date of May 2005 or later (or its equivalent), for each taxpayer included on the
Agent’s List. For instructions on preparing Form 8655, see Rev. Proc. 2012-32.
NOTE: A revised Authorization is not required to replace an Authorization that was
previously submitted to the Service, provided that the Authorization in place gives the
Reporting Agent authority to file the return on behalf of the client and places no
restrictions on the medium for filing Forms 940/941/944, and the Reporting Agent.



Advise his or her client that their Forms 940/941/944 may be filed electronically, and
provides the client with the option of rejecting electronic filing as the medium for filing its
Forms 940/941/944. An Agent may use the most efficient and timely method of clearly
providing this notification to a client. A client’s rejection of electronic filing for its Forms
940/941/944 must be submitted in writing to the Agent.



Remove immediately any client that objects to having the Forms 940/941/944 filed
electronically from the Reporting Agent’s electronic filing client base.

17

3.1.3 Revising the Agent’s List
After a Reporting Agent is notified that the application for electronic filing has been approved,
the Agent may want to add and delete taxpayers from the Agent’s List.
To add taxpayers, the Agent must submit the added names and EINs (Add List) and
authorization for each taxpayer added. The Service must validate the Add List and return it to the
Agent before the Agent can electronically file returns for these taxpayers. The Service will
generally validate and mail the Add List to the Agent within 10 business days of receiving the
Add List.
To delete taxpayers, the Agent must submit a list of those taxpayers to be deleted (Delete List)
and, if known, a short statement indicating which taxpayers will not remain in business.
NOTE: See Publication 1774 Technical Specification Guide for Reporting Agent Authorization
and Federal Tax Depositors for complete instructions on submitting additions and deletions.

3.1.4 Software Developer IRS e-file Applications

3.2 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN Registration Process (Authorized Signer)
Special Note:
Employers who want to file for themselves using the 94x On-Line e-file Program must adhere to
the applicable business rules provided in this Publication 3823 and must follow the guidelines
provided in Publication 15, (Circular E) Employer’s Tax Guide.
To become a 94x OnLine e-Filer participant, the applicant must first complete the electronic
94x PIN Registration Process. The 94x PIN Registration Process is used to request an IRS
issued 10-digit PIN, used by the Authorized Signer to sign the 94x Family of OnLine e-filed
returns.
The Authorized Signer must register for the 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN through an approved
software provider who offers this service to their clients, by completing the 94x PIN Registration
via the Internet, using a personal computer, modem, and IRS Approved Commercial Off-theShelf (COTS) software. The IRS Approved software must be downloaded from an Internet site
and prepared off-line or the software can be used on-line. Prospective 94x OnLine e-Filers must
submit the 94x Registration at least 45 days in advance of the due date of the 94x return to
ensure timely filing of 94x e-file returns.
The 94x PIN Registration Process requires the applicant to provide information about the
company and the authorized signer of the 94x family of e-filed returns for IRS records. This
information is used to validate that the signer and PIN used to sign the e-filed return is the same
signer and PIN found in IRS records, provided during the 94x PIN Registration Process. A
prospective 94x OnLine e-Filer will receive an acceptance or rejection status letter regarding
their 94x PIN Registration within 45 days of the Service’s receipt of their completed 94x PIN
Registration.
Once the applicant’s 94x PIN Registration record is completed the Authorized IRS e-file
Provider will transmit the registration to the IRS to request the 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN. After
the 94x PIN Registration Process has been completed and information has been successfully
processed and approved, the IRS will send the Authorized Signer a 10-digit PIN via U.S. Mail
within 7 – 10 days.
Once the 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN is received by the Authorized Signer, named in the 94x PIN
Registration record, he/she must return the Acknowledgment Receipt. Returning the signed
acknowledgment indicates possession of, and responsibility for the proper use of the 94x OnLine
e-Filer PIN used for signing tax returns (pursuant to § 301.6061-1) filed through the 94x e-file
Program.
When the Authorized Signer is ready to e-file the returns, he/she must manually enter the 94x
OnLine e-Filer PIN signature for each transmission of electronically filed Forms 94x via an
Authorized IRS e-file Provider, as referenced in this publication.

19

3.2.1

Compromised 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN and Other Issues

The Authorized Signer identified on the registration record is responsible for safeguarding the
94x OnLine e-Filer PIN. If the Authorized Signer suspects that the confidentiality of the PIN has
been compromised, the electronic filer must contact the IRS e-help Desk at 1(866) 255-0654
within 24 hours for instructions on how to proceed. The 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN will be
deactivated, and a new 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN will be issued.
The 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN is valid for filing all returns through the Employment Tax e-file
System. In addition, if the taxpayer decides to use the services of another Authorized IRS e-file
Provider after they have received their PIN, they DO NOT need to re-register. The PIN
identifies the IRS Authorized Signer, and is not linked to the provider that transmitted the
original registration.
NOTE: At this time, only one 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN can be issued for an Employer
Identification Number.

3.2.2

Authorized Signer Changes

If the Authorized Signer changes, the Electronic Filer or OnLine e-Filer must notify the Service
of the name and title of the new Authorized Signer and request a new 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN no
later than 15 days before the filing of another return.
Notification of the change must be faxed or mailed to the Cincinnati e-help Desk on company
letterhead and signed by the owner, partner or officer of the business. The letter must include the
following:


EIN for the business



Business name and address



The name and title of the person signing the letter must be printed on the letter



The name of the previous Authorized Signer and the name, title and phone number of the
new Authorized Signer.

After this notification is received, the Service will deactivate the current 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN
and issue a new 94x OnLine e-Filer PIN to the new Authorized Signer.

3.3 Communications Testing Procedures
Transmitters must complete Communications Testing with the e-file system prior to filing live
tax returns, as part of their IRS e-file Application process. Transmitters send information
directly to the Service. IRS will be provided with a telephone number in order to arrange for a
test transmission.

3.4

Assurance Testing Procedures

Note: For complete Assurance Testing Procedures, please search the 94x XML Developers
Forum – Employment Tax e-file System web site at www.irs.gov

3.4.1 Assurance Testing Requirements
All Software Developers will be required to complete the Assurance Testing process for each
Software package that they will use with the Employment Tax e-file Program. In addition,
Transmitters are required to complete a communications test with the e-file system prior to filing
live tax returns through the system.
Transmitters and Software Developers will be provided with a telephone number in order to
arrange for a test transmission.
To electronically file tax returns for a specific quarter, an applicant must complete Assurance
Testing prior to the due date for that quarter’s returns, but no later than the dates shown below in
Table 3-3.
To transmit subsequent test files, contact the e- help Desk. Transmission of a test file does not
constitute the filing of a tax return.
If an Applicant’s test file fails to meet the evaluation criteria, the Applicant must, within 15 days
of the Service’s notification of the failure, transmit a new test file or contact the e-help Desk to
make other arrangements.

3.4.2 Pre-Validation of XML Data
Each developer should develop their own test data. Once the XML Data has been developed, the
developer should use a validating XML parser to determine if their records are valid XML files.
This pre-validation is intended to identify the majority of potential error conditions, and
minimize the chance of receiving error conditions on their test transmission.

3.4.3 Test Transmissions
Once the data has been validated against the 94x XML schemas you are ready to submit a test
transmission. Transmitters and Software Developers should call the e-help Deck at 1-866-2550654 in order to arranage a test transmision.
Once the test transmission has been submitted, the file will be processed through the
Employment Tax e-file System, and an Acknowledgement will be prepared for each test return
submitted. If errors are identified during processing, an error message will be returned for each
of the conditions identified during validation.
For example:


Improperly formatted test transmission



Failure to submit a successful test transmission within one year of the issuance of the test
identification codes.

If a return has no errors, an acceptance Acknowledgement will be received for that return.

4.0 IRS E-FILE APPLICATION AND 94X PIN REGISTRATION

All applicants will be notified of their acceptance or rejection into the Employment Tax e-file
System within 45 days of the receipt of their e-file Application or 94x OnLine PIN Registration.

IRS will issue a software developer questionnaire that must be completed and returned before
approving software. When all of the returns in a test transmission have been accepted and the
transmission has "passed", the e-help Desk will advise the developer that their software has been
approved. The developer may then begin to market their software. IRS will issue software IDs if
the software is being sold to other companies.
The IRS e-help Desk examiner will change the status for the return type that they are testing
from “Testing” to “Production”. Once in production status, an acceptance letter is issued to the
software developer.
If the software developer wants to continue testing with their own test data, they may continue to
test using their software developer ETIN.
Acceptance of a Software Developer establishes only that the test transmission was formatted
properly and could be processed by the Service. It is not an endorsement of the software or of the
quality of the developer’s service. A Software Developer is not entitled to electronically file
Forms 940/941/944 unless a separate application approval as an Authorized IRS e-file Provider
has been granted via an IRS e-file Application.
NOTE: Software Developers are never moved to production status: If the e-file participant is a
Software Developer and Transmitter, they will be assigned two ETIN numbers; one for testing
their software and the other for transmitting live data.
If the Applicant is a Reporting Agent, the Applicant will receive a Validated Agent’s List within
45 days of the Service receiving the Agent’s Application. Failure to use the names and EINs
provided on the Validated Agent’s List might delay processing.

23

4.2

IRS e-file Application and 94x PIN Registration – Rejection

5.0

XML SCHEMA AND VERSION CONTROL

5.1 Schema Conventions
The 94x XML Schemas were designed following the format of each of the paper returns they are
designed to replace. XML tag names are closely aligned with the text from those returns, and the
format and content of each of the data elements is defined in the schema. Common data types
have been identified and defined in the schema efiletypes.xsd.
Please refer to guidelines in Section 5.0 for instructions on how to construct a transmission file,
and Section 7.0 for the construction of an acknowledgement file. In addition, Appendix A
provides guidance on valid attachments to each return type.

5.2 Schema Location
The current 94x XML Schemas are posted to the 94x XML Developers’ Forum on the IRS Web
Site, www.irs.gov
Subsequent changes or updates to the schemas will be posted to the Forum, and communicated to
Employment Tax e-file Partners.

5.3 Version Control
The current version and future version releases of the 94x XML schemas will be posted to the
94x XML Developers’ Forum. A formal change control process governs changes to the schema,
and any changes will result in a revised version release with an appropriate version number.

BUILDING XML TRANSMISSION FILES

The current 94x XML Schema Mapping Matrix is posted to the 94x XML Developers’ Forums
at the IRS Web Site, www.irs.gov
NOTE: Amended Returns (Forms 940-X, 941-X and 944-X) are not accepted electronically.
This section describes the procedure to create a “sample” 94x return transmission file with
dummy return data.
Assumptions:


The 94x XML Schemas Final Release is used as the base schemas for creating the XML data
instances.



Altova XMLSpy 2010 is used as the tool for creating and validating XML data instances
generated from the aforementioned base schemas.



All optional fields will be created to illustrate the widest spectrum of data combinations. The
actual definitions of required vs. optional fields can be found in the base schemas.



All XML data instances generated are kept in the instances subdirectory directly under the
root of the 94x XML schemas package. If placed elsewhere, the xsi:schemaLocation
attributes in all data instances generated need to be modified to reflect the location of the
XML instance relative to other schemas.

Create the transmission file according to the structure outlined below. Please note the following:


Required MIME content headers are highlighted.



Line spacing is important. There is a blank line between the end of the MIME content
headers and the beginning of the MIME part content itself. Also, there is a blank line
between the end of the MIME part content and the beginning of the next MIME part
boundary.



"MIME-Version: 1.0" must appear as the first line of the MIME message header.



The parameters on the “Content-Type: “line in each MIME part is required and must be in
the order as shown below.



The sample below uses “MIME94xBoundary” as the value for the MIME boundary but an
actual transmission file can have any transmitter-defined string as the boundary. The same
applies to the Content-Location MIME content header.

The Content-Location: line must match one of the contentLocation attributes referenced in the
OriginManifest of a ReturnOriginHeader, and the corresponding element ContentLocation in
the ReturnData.

Step 2.3 – Duplicate ReturnData


Duplicate the ReturnData structure 3 times to create a sequence of 4 separate ReturnData
structures.



Edit the data in ReturnData as you see fit.



Make sure all instances of the attribute contentLocation in the OriginManifest of the
ReturnOriginHeader match one referenced element ContentLocation in each
ReturnData. The ContentLocation must be unique within the transmission file.



Edit the documentId attribute for each return document in ReturnData. The documentId
must be unique within the return.

Step 3 – Create 94x Return Transmission File
Now that you have the validated Transmission Envelope and the ReturnData MIME parts, you
are ready to put it all together.
The complete 94x return transmission file is shown below in its entirety:
MIME-Version: 1.0

6.1 A Guide to Creating PIN Registration Transmission Files
This section describes the procedure for creating a sample PIN Registration transmission file
with dummy data.
Assumptions:


The 94x XML Schemas Final Release is used as the base schemas for creating the XML data
instances.



Altova XMLSpy 2010 is used as the tool for creating and validating XML data instances
generated from the aforementioned base schemas.



All optional fields will be created to illustrate the widest spectrum of data combinations. The
actual definitions of required vs. optional fields can be found in the base schemas.



All XML data instances generated are kept in the instances subdirectory directly under the
root of the 94x XML schemas package. If placed elsewhere, the xsi:schemaLocation
attributes in all data instances generated need to be modified to reflect the location of the
XML instance relative to other schemas.

Step 1 – Create PIN Registration Transmission Envelope
Step 1.1 – Create Transmission Envelope Skeleton
Here is the transmission envelope skeleton template. After filling in the placeholders, it becomes
the SOAP Envelope in the transmission file.



Placeholder for TransmissionHeader


Placeholder for OriginHeaders



Step 1.2 – Create TransmissionHeader
1. Open message/efileMessage.xsd in XMLSpy
49

2. Select DTD/Schema from the main menu.
3. Select Generate sample XML file…
4. Select Generate all elements
5. Specify 2 (or more) repeatable elements
6. Check all options in the following pop-up menu
7. Select with a relative path option
8. Select Use Manually added sample values if available
9. Select TransmissionHeader as root

Step 1.3 – Complete the Placeholder for TransmissionHeader
In the TransmissionHeader data structure:


Remove all attributes in the TransmissionHeader element



Add efile: in front of element name TransmissionHeader



Edit the data as you see fit.



Validate the TransmissionHeader


Click on the

button on the tool bar or F8

Here is the final TransmissionHeader data structure:



Edit the data as you see fit.



Validate the TransmissionHeader


Click on the

button on the tool bar or F8

Here is the final OriginHeaders data structure:

Step 1.6 – Complete the Transmission Envelope
Complete the transmission Envelope:


Plug the TransmissionHeader created in Step 1.3 into the Placeholder for
TransmissionHeader defined in Step 1.1



Plug the OriginHeaders structure created in Step 1.5 into the Placeholder for
OriginHeaders defined in Step 1.1



Edit and validate the data of Transmission Envelope if necessary


Click on the

button on the tool bar or F8

The complete Transmission Envelope is shown below:

Step 2 – Create PINData MIME Parts
Step 2.1 – Create PINData
Repeat Step 1.2 with the pinreg/PINRegistration.xsd schema file and select PINData as the
root element name.



Click on the

button on the tool bar or F8

Here is the final PINData data structure

Step 2.3 – Duplicate the PINData
Complete the placeholder for PIN Registration:


Duplicate the PINData structure 3 times to create a sequence of 4 separate PINData
structures.



Make sure all instances of the attribute contentLocation in the OriginManifest of the
PINRegistrationOriginHeader match one referenced element ContentLocation in each
PINData. The ContentLocation must be unique within the transmission file.

Step 3 – Create PIN Registration Transmission File
58

Now that you have the validated Transmission Envelope and the PINData MIME parts, you are
ready to put it all together.
Create the transmission file according to the structure outlined below. Please note the following:


Required MIME content headers are highlighted.



Line spacing is important. There is a blank line between the ends of the MIME content
headers and the beginning of the MIME part content itself. Also, there is a blank line
between the end of the MIME part content and the beginning of the next MIME part
boundary.



"MIME-Version: 1.0" must appear as the first line of the MIME message header.



The parameters on the “Content-Type: “ line in each MIME part are required and must be in
the order as shown below.



The sample below uses “MIMEPINRegBoundary” as the value for the MIME boundary but
an actual transmission file can have any transmitter-defined string as the boundary. The same
applies to the Content-Location MIME content header.



The Content-Location: line must match one of the contentLocation attributes referenced in
the OriginManifest of a PINRegistrationOriginHeader and the corresponding element
ContentLocation in the PINData.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FILES

An Acknowledgement (ACK) File will be returned for each successfully
transmitted Return or PIN Registration file. XML transmissions are processed
as received, so ACKs will be available as soon as the transmission has been
processed, and not follow the once or twice daily “drain” schedule of other
e-file programs.
You will receive a single ACK file for each transmission file submitted.
Each ACK file will be composed of one or more ACK records, providing an
acceptance, or a rejection, for each item in the transmission file. You may
receive one or more ACK records per item submitted in the transmission.

8.1

A Guide to Creating 94x Acknowledgement Files

This section describes the procedure for creating a sample 94x
acknowledgement file with dummy data.

8.2

Acknowledgement File Construction

Assumptions


The 94x XML Schemas Final Release will be used as the base schemas for creating the XML
data instances.



XMLSpy 2010 is used as the tool for creating and validating XML data instances generated
from the aforementioned base schemas.



All optional fields will be created to illustrate the widest spectrum of data combinations. The
actual definitions of required vs. optional fields can be found in the base schemas.



All XML data instances generated are kept in the instances subdirectory directly under the
root of the 94x XML schemas package. If placed elsewhere, the xsi:schemaLocation
attributes in all data instances generated need to be modified to reflect the location of the
XML instance relative to other schemas.

Step 1 – Create Acknowledgement Envelope
Step 1.1 – Create Acknowledgement Envelope Skeleton
Create the acknowledgement envelope skeleton as outlined below. After filling in the
placeholders, it becomes the SOAP Envelope (Body only, i.e. no Header) in the
acknowledgement file.

79




Placeholder for AcknowledgementAction



Step 1.2 – Create AcknowledgementAction
Open message/efileMessage.xsd in XMLSpy and select DTD/Schema from the main menu.
Next select Generate sample XML file…
Figure 8-1 Open Message/efile Message – DTD/Schema – Generate Sample XML File

80

Select AcknowledgementAction from the pop-up menu shown below:
Figure 8-2 Select a Root Element – Acknowledgement Action

Check all options in the following pop-up menu and specify 2 (or more) repeatable elements so
that repeating structures are illustrated in the sample data.
Figure 8-3 Generate Sample XML File – Attributes and Elements

You now have an XMLSpy generated XML data structure for the entire acknowledgement.
Step 1.4 – Complete the Placeholder for AcknowledgementAction
In the AcknowledgementAction data structure:


Remove all attributes in the AcknowledgementAction element and prefix the element name
(begin and end tags) with efile:



Duplicate the OriginAcknowledgement and ItemAcknowledgement structures as needed
for multiple items. Edit the data as you see fit. Make sure all instances of OriginId and
OrigTransContentLocation are correctly referencing the ones in the transmission file.

Step 1.3 – Complete the Acknowledgement Envelope
Plug in the AcknowledgementAction structure from Step 1.2 into the Placeholder for
AcknowledgementAction defined in Step 1.1.

81

The complete Acknowledgement Envelope is shown below:

Step 1.5 – Validate the Acknowledgement Envelope


tool bar.



button on the

Step 2 – Create Acknowledgement File
The most notable difference between the 94x return transmission file and the acknowledgement
file is that the acknowledgement file is NOT a MIME multi-part document - it contains only the
Acknowledgement Envelope with the body only, i.e. no header. The entire envelope is a selfcontained XML data structure. The acknowledgement file can be created by simply adding the
Content-Type header to the Acknowledgement Envelope. The required content-type header is
highlighted.
The complete acknowledgement file is shown below in its entirety:

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
