TESTING
and/or transmit returns, (including partnerships that transmit their
SYSTEM
own return). The purpose of testing is to ensure that IRS can
(BATS)
receive and process the electronic returns. In preparation for
processing Tax Year 2003 partnership returns, the IRS will
begin accepting test returns through BATS December 1, 2003.
After review of the Form 8633 application, the IRS will assign an
Electronic Transmitter Identification Number (ETIN), Electronic
Filing Identification Number (EFIN) and a temporary password to
each applicant. The ETIN will only be assigned if transmitting
return(s). The ETIN and test password will be used to logon and
transmit test data. Participants can use the same EFIN for
individual and/or business returns they intend to file electronically.
Testing should begin at least sixty (60) days prior to live
transmission of return(s) to allow ample time to resolve any
transmission problems prior to transmitting live returns.
The software package used to prepare/transmit the return data
must pass testing with the IRS prior to live transmissions.
NOTE: Testing must be completed before the participant
transmits live data.
READY TO TEST When applicants are ready to test, they must make arrangements
with the Ogden Submission Processing Center Electronic Filing
Section at 1-866-255-0654 (toll-free number).
