Software limitations
Returns must be transmitted through the IRS e-File System. Both Linked returns and Unlinked returns can be
submitted through the IRS Federal/State System.
Virginia requires a copy of the complete federal return in the state submission, including binary
attachments.
Each return should be in a separate submission and multiple submissions may be within a single message
payload.
What is Tested
The test package contains multiple test scenarios consisting of various forms/schedules/attachments to be
submitted for product/software approval. Testing scenarios will be provided in the Individual Income e-File
Test Package, once Individual Income tax form/schedule instructions are posted.
The range of test social security numbers is 400-00-7000 through 400-00-7099. Virginia only accepts these
SSNs during testing. If a live return is submitted with a SSN with this range, it will be rejected.
It is strongly urged to support the Virginia Individual Income tax form packages Forms 760CG, 760PY and 763
in addition to all schedules. However, the test scenarios may be submitted with adjustments for those
schedules not supported. For example, credit(s) on the return from Schedule CR may be omitted if the
Schedule CR is not supported.
Testing of additional conditions is permitted. SSNs used for the test scenarios in the Individual Income e-File
Test Package must not be used on additional tests. If interested in testing additional conditions, Developers
must notify the Virginia e-File Administrator at Ind_efile@tax.virginia.gov.
Acknowledgements on Test Submissions
Virginia sends acknowledgements to the IRS e-File Fed/State Acknowledgement System in the format defined
by the IRS Acknowledgement schema for both testing and production (efileAttachment.xsd).
Automated acknowledgements are sent through Virginia’s ATS system for the returns received. Allow 3 – 5
business days to receive state acknowledgments. Vendors must retransmit a test return until all tests have
been accepted.
Once the test package passes business rules and schema validations, vendors can provide Submission IDs to
the e-File Administrator at the
Ind_eFile@tax.virginia.gov
mailbox for it to be reviewed. Software developers
will be notified of the test results and approval by email.
Unless the software developer is the ERO, the developer is responsible for providing the Virginia
acknowledgements to the ERO within two days after receipt of the acknowledgement.
