Appendix C – Sample non-XML Document Attachment
If the node type defined in the schema begins with ‘VARef’,
it must have attached documentation; and
it must have an attribute called ‘referenceDocumentId’.
Any Binary Attachment node must have an attribute called ‘documentId’. The documentIds used must be
unique.
The referenceDocumentId attribute value must match exactly the value of the attribute called ‘documentId’ in
a Binary Attachment node in the return XML. If not, it will fail schema validation.
Example:
documentId=”1”
documentId=”2”
Or
documentId=”PDFAttach1”
documentId=”PDFAttach2”
The “AttachmentLocationTxt” element in the Binary Attachment node in the return XML contains the name of
the PDF file. The file name is case sensitive and must exactly match the name of the file attached to the
submission.
If not, it will fail the schema validation. See the example highlighted below.
Use the following guidelines to include binary attachment(s).
Include total number of binary attachment(s) in the binaryAttachmentCnt attribute in the ReturnHeader
element.
<ReturnHeaderState binaryAttachmentCnt=”1”>
Example of binary attachment linking an element:
<AdditionToTax>
<UnderestimateTax>2479</UnderestimateTax>
<Form 760C referenceDocumentId=”1”>X</Form 760C>
</AdditionToTax>
<BinaryAttachment documentId=”1”>
<Reference>UnderestimateTax</Reference>
<DocumentTypeCd>PDF</DocumentTypeCd>
<Desc>760C</Desc>
<AttachmentLocationTxt>760C.pdf</AttachmentLocationTxt>
</BinaryAttachment>
