This publication contains the validation criteria and record layouts for transmitting Form
1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts electronically to the Enterprising
Computing Center-Memphis (ECC-MEM). (Formerly referred to as the Tennessee Computing
Center, i.e.). This publication should be used in conjunction with Publication 1437,
Procedures for the Electronic Filing Program for Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for
Estates and Trust. Software developers and transmitters should use both publications and
must transmit test returns using their own scenarios.
The testing process, known as Business Acceptance Testing (BATS) is discussed in detail in
Publication 1437.
These publications are available from the Electronic Filing Unit at the IRS Ogden
Submission Processing Center (OSPC). You can obtain a copy of the publications by calling 1-
866-255-0654. You may also call 1-800-829-3676 for additional copies of the publications. The
publications are also available through the IRS Website http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/
If information in this publication changes after the final version is printed and distributed, a
change page will be issued. Information that is changed, added, or deleted in this publication
will be emailed to software developers and filers listed in the 1041 e-file database, and also will
be displayed on the IRS Website.
The user's cooperation is requested in the development of a qua lity publication. Please let
us know if you are aware of any errors (typographical, technical or usage) or if you have any
suggestions and/or comments.

9. DATA TRANSMISSION
NOTE:
Effective November 1, 2005, the IRS discontinued the use of analog and ISDN
telephone lines to transmit returns (with the exception of dedicated leased lines).
Transmission of tax returns will be via the internet and will require encryption.
Detailed information about the transmission process is provided in Section B of this
publication. The decision to discontinue ISDN and the requirement to encrypt data
was widely shared with software developers previously on several occasions.
2. MONEY AMOUNT FIELDS MARKED WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**) MAY ALSO CONTAIN A
LITERAL VALUE OF "STMbnn" (LEFT JUSTIFIED), BLANKS OR ZEROS.
4. A FIELD NUMBER PRECEDED BY AN "@" SIGN INDICATES THAT THIS FIELD MUST
CONTAIN A STATEMENT REFERENCE, WHEN SIGNIFICANT.
5. A FIELD NUMBER PRECEDED BY AN "*" SIGN INDICATES THAT THIS FIELD MAY
CONTAIN A STATEMENT REFERENCE, WHEN SIGNIFICANT.
6. FIELDS WITH EITHER an “@” or an “*” SIGN ARE THE ONLY FIELDS THAT ARE
ALLOWED STATEMENT RECORDS.
7. FIELD NUMBERS PRECEDED BY A "+" SIGN INDICATE THESE ARE RELATED FIELDS
THAT MUST BE INCLUDED ON THE STATEMENT RECORD WITH THE
CORRESPONDING ASTERISK FIELD.
9. NOTE: To avoid your transmission and return from rejecting, assure that:
1. FORM 1041:
• Line 24 has been re-lettered to accommodate new Form 8913. We added new
field 0705 to accommodate the entry from Form 8913.

• NOTE: FORM 6765: A the time this document was prepared, the provisions contained
in Form 6765 were not extended for Tax Year 2006. However, since the provisions may
be subsequently extended, we have retained all references to Form 6765 in the
publication. If not extended, we expect fiscal year filers will be instructed to report the Tax
Year 2005 portion of the credit directly on Form 3800, and the final version of Publication
1438 will not include Form 6765.

More than one of the following forms and schedules may be transmitted electronically:
FORMS SCHEDULES
NOTE: See Reject Code 124 for the proper sequence for transmitting all forms, schedules and
statements within the return. Also refer to the “NOTES” at the end of Reject Code 124.
There are two methods to electronically pay a balance due on an electronically filed Form 1041
return:
(1) The fiduciary may authorize the U.S. Department of Treasury (through a Treasury Financial
Agent) to transfer money (direct debit) from their bank account to the Treasury account. The
fiduciary must sign the Jurat on Form 8453-F to authorize the agreement between IRS and their
Financial Agent to initiate an EFW (electronic funds withdrawal). The fiduciary must then submit
with each electronically filed return a Payment Record form as shown in Section B (Record
Layouts).
(2) Payments also may be made through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS)
(This method is not part of the electronically filed form 1041 record.)
Contact an EFTPS Financial Agent at 800-555-4477 or 800-945-5300 for information.
IRS EFTPS Contact: 1-800-255-0654
NOTE:
Payment of balances due may also be made via paper check which may be attached to the
Form 8453-F, or by mailing the check directly to the Submission Processing Center identified in
the 1041 Instruction booklet. Currently, there are no plans to create a payment voucher for Form
1041. Therefore, paper checks mailed separate from Form 8453-F should be attached to a letter
to assure the payment is credited to the correct account. The letter should provide the following
information for the Estate or Trust:
• Form 1041
• Employer Identification Number of the Estate or Trust
• Name of Estate or Trust
• Tax year for which the payment is intended.
• Name, address, and telephone number of the Fiduciary.
• Amount of payment
The Paper Remittance Register and Electronic/Magnetic Media Remittance Register are no
longer accepted.
Filers must include all Federal Data required by the State, in one of the State attachments,
i.e. Attachment E.
Fed/State Electronic Filing is a cooperative one-stop filing program between IRS and state tax
administration agencies. This program allows the filing of both Federal and State income tax
returns as a combined return through the IRS Electronic Filing System.
The general concept is to emulate current operations used for the e lectronic filing of federal tax
returns (EFS). The tax return data must be placed into the transmission format specified by the
IRS and the state.
The combined return will be rejected in its entirety if it contains any error conditions specified in
this p ublication. If the error(s) is of such a nature that it can be corrected and the return(s)
processed, the combined return may be retransmitted to ECC-MEM.
The participant may elect to retransmit the federal tax portion of a rejected return and then file
the state return using state tax paper forms.
How to Transmit
See Page 20, item D.
Form 1041 returns can no longer be transmitted over the Public Switched Telephone Network to
the ECC-MEM using dial-up. The methods to transmit the returns are either via the Internet or
using a dedicated leased line. See Section B; Data Communications, detailed information.
The Front End Processing Subsystem (FEPS) uses a menu-driven instead of a prompt-mode
Trading Partner Interface.
Transmitters who expect to handle a large volume of electronic returns may request to lease
their own dedicated line(s) at ECC-MEM. They must arrange to lease and install the lines and
purchase modems at both ends. They may also purchase equipment to use one of the high-
speed file transfer protocols, such as FTP, on 56 kbs or ISDN lines at ECC-MEM. For more
information and approval, contact:
(Phone: 202-283-5193)
1. All transmission data must be in ASCII format. No binary fields may be transmitted.
c. Then, the return record transmission may commence. The return record transmission
will consist of 1) a series of logical records, beginning with the TRANA record, 2) some
number of logical return records, and 3) a RECAP Record.
4. Two four-byte fields (the Record Control Information) must precede each record within a
transmission. The first four-byte field is a record Byte Count that will contain a count of the
number of bytes within the logical record including the four bytes for the counter itself, four
bytes for the Start of Record Sentinel (****), and one byte for the Record Terminus
Character (#). The second four -byte field will be the Start of Record Sentinel, which must
be four asterisks (****).
5. Every record must have the Record Terminus Character (#) as its last significant byte.
Note that provisions have been made to allow for non-significant padding to exist following
the Record Termi nus Character, i.e., CR or LF may be added after the Record Terminus
Character to fill up a physical block size. This is permitted to accommodate all the different
computer systems being used to transmit data.
6. The first records on a transmitted file, the TRANA and TRANB Records, contain
information regarding the transmitter and file format. These records should be followed by
the records comprising the tax returns being transmitted.
7. The end of the logical transmission is signaled by the literal "RECAP". It is followed by the
RECAP Record data and the Record Terminus Character (#).
8. The TRANA, TRANB and RECAP records are fixed-length records of 120 bytes each.
Any non-significant field should be blank-filled.
9. A tax return will consist of a variable number of fixed length or variable length records.
The size and format of the logical record for each page of each schedule, form, etc., are
specified in Section 11 Record Layouts.
10. Each logical record should contain all data fields pertaining to one printed page of an
official schedule, form, or line of a Statement Record. Therefore, the logical record
contains an entire schedule or form, or a logical part (i.e., PG01 or PG02) of a schedule or
form, or line of a Statement Record.
11. Each complete tax return must consist of all logical records pertaining to it in the following
sequence:
Form 1041 Page 1 – 4; (or pages 1-2 if pages 3 -4 are not needed.)
Schedules in alphabetical order or in Attachment Sequence Number order as
preprinted on the official IRS form;
Forms in numerical order or in Attachment Sequence Number order as preprinted on
the official IRS form;
Statement Records;
Summary Record.
12. Schedule, Form, and Statement Records can contain additional sequential Page Records
if the record consists of more than one printed page. (Pages are only numbered within a
schedule, form, or statement record, not across the return.) All records must appear in the
order above with the proper control information. The counts of the schedules and forms
must match the counts in the Summary Record or the return will be rejected.
13. The file should be unlabeled (no standard header or trailer records).
15. The page should not be generated if there are no entries on a page record of a schedule
or form. A blank page (Record ID Group only) will cause the return to be rejected, except
in cases where multiple forms require that one page be present when the other page is
present.
There are two options available for transmitting logical tax return records: fixed length (fixed
format) and variable length (variable format). (The Transmitter Records TRANA, TRANB, and
RECAP Record are not tax return records.)
The fixed length option requires the complete tax return to be transmitted exactly as
defined in Section 11 Record Layouts. All fields must be present. If a field contains no
data, it must be blank-filled or zero-filled. The fixed length option is indicated by an "F" in
the Record Type (SEQ 100) of the TRANS Record A (TRANA).
When the fixed length option is used, the following data field conventions must be
followed:
(2) When a "literal" is included in the field description, enter the literal value exactly as
specified in Section 11 Record Layouts, left-justified. Trailing blanks must be
entered.
NOTE: The trailing blanks are not shown in the Record Layouts.
(2) Signed numeric fields (money amounts): Right-justify with leading zeros, reserving
the right-most position for the sign. A blank ( ) indicates a gain and a minus sign (-
) indicates a loss.
(3) Signed numeric fields that can also contain literal values:
Enter signed numeric fields as described above. When entering a literal value,
left-justify and blank -fill the field.
The variable length option provides for the transmission of only control information,
including the record ID group, significant data fields, and significant data within individual
fields. The variable length option is indicated by a "V" in the Record Type (SEQ 100) of
the TRANS Record A (TRANA).
When the variable length option is used, the following data field conventions must be
followed:
(1) Left-justify data in the field. Do not enter leading blanks. Trailing blanks are
dropped.
(2) When a "literal" is included in the field description, enter the literal value exactly as
specified in Section 11 Record Layouts, left-justified. Only the value of the literal
(including embedded blanks) must be entered. Trailing blanks are dropped.
(1) Unsigned numeric fields: In most cases, leading zeros may be dropped.
(2) Signed numeric fields (money amounts): Leading zeros are dropped. For a
positive value, the trailing blank that indicates a gain is dropped. For a negative
value in a field that can contain either a gain or a loss, the minus sign (-) must be
entered in the last position of the signed numeric field.
(3) Signed numeric fields that can also contain literal values: Enter signed
numeric fields as described above. When entering a literal value, left-justify
the field; it is not necessary to enter trailing blanks.
When transmitting in variable format, each Tax Form (Form 1041) Schedule and Form
Record will begin with the Record Control Information (Byte Count and Start of Record
Sentinel fields) in the same fixed format shown in the record layouts. This is followed
by the Record ID Group. Following the Record ID Group are the data fields. Each data
field is preceded by the applicable Field Sequence Number, which is enclosed by
square bracket field delimiters, “[“ and “]”. The Field Sequence Number is a 4 position
number. However, it is permissible to drop the first zero when bracketing the field
sequence number. A minimum of three position must be present. For example, you
can use [0010] of [010] for Primary SSN of Page 1 of the Tax Return record. The
Record Terminus Character (#) follows the last data field in the record.
Example:
nnnn****RECORD ID GROUP [1st field sequence number]DATA...[next field
sequence number]DATA...# ("nnnn" is the record byte count)
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING THREE CHARACTERS "[" , "]", and "#" ARE RESERVED
AS DELIMITERS AND CANNOT APPEAR AS DATA CHARACTERS. See SECTION
4 for information about types of characters in electronically filed returns.
All data fields of the Statement and Summary Records must be formatted as fixed
length fields. If a field contains no data, it must be blank-filled or zero-filled, as
appropriate.
When transmitting in variable format, each Statement and Summary Record will begin
with the Record Control Information (Byte Count and Start of Record Sentinel fields) in
the same fixed format shown in the Part II Record Layouts. This is followed by the
Record ID Group, the data fields formatted as fixed length fields, and the Record
Terminus Character (#).
All transmission data must be in ASCII Format. No binary fields may be transmitted.
(1) All logical records must be transmitted electronically in a series of logical blocks. A four-
byte counter must precede each logical record within a block. The byte count must
include the length of the record plus the length of the byte count, the Start of Record
Sentinel 4 asterisks ("****") and the Record Terminus Character pound sign or hash mark
("#").
NOTE: IBM byte counts must not be used. Using the IBM Byte Count will add four
(4) positions to each record. This will increase the size of the record and
shift everything over four (4) positions. This is not compatible with the
Form 1041 programs.
(2) Every logical record must have as its last significant byte the Record Terminus Character
("#").
(3) Records must be fixed (all records within the return are the same length) or
variable (each record within the return is of the length shown on the
Form/schedule in Section 11).
A fixed length, blocked record, data structure is unacceptable, as this format will
produce blank padding between logical records within the block.
(4) Files must not contain more than 500 Form 1041 tax returns in a single
transmission when using a dial-up connection.
(5) The first record on a transmitted file (the TRANA and TRANB records) contains
information regarding the transmitter and file format. The records comprising a tax
return being transmitted should follow this record. The record after the Summary
Record of a transmitted file is the RECAP Record, which provides a total return
count (Field #0030) which is compared to the IRS computer count. The TRANA
Record also uniquely identifies each file transmitted. Field #0080 (Transmission
Sequence Number) of the record is used for this purpose.
(6) A tax return will consist of a variable number of fixed-field records. The size and
format of the logical record for each page of each form, schedule etc., are
specified in Section 11. In addition, a variable field/record format for Schedule
K-1 is acceptable. See details under Variable Length Option.
(7) Each logical record should contain all data fields pertaining to one printed page
of an official form or schedule or to a line of a statement. Therefore, the logical
record contains an entire form or schedule, or a logical part (i.e., PG01 or PG02
of a form or schedule, or a line of a statement).
The sequence of a complete Form 1041 tax return file submission is as follows:
(6) Statement (STMnnn) Records for forms and schedules other than
Schedule K-1.
(10) Schedule K-1 (Form 1041) Records - must be transmitted in ascending numeric
sequence.
(11) Schedule K-1 (Form 1041) Statement (Stmb99) Records if applicable, must be
transmitted in ascending numeric sequence and must trail the corresponding
Schedule K-1.
(14) RECAP Record (REQUIRED): The end of a logical transmission will be signaled
by the literal "RECAPb" Field #0000 of the Record ID) followed by the RECAP
Record data and then the Record Terminus Character.
Note: Do not generate a page of a form or schedule if there are no entries on the page
record. A blank page (Record ID only) will cause the return to reject. (Except in
cases where multiple forms or schedules require that one page be present if the
other is).
.
The Fixed Length Option requires that the entire tax return be transmitted exactly as
defined in the record layouts, and all fields must be present. If a field contains no data,
it must be blank-filled or zero-filled. A “F” in the Record Type Indicator (Field #0100) of
the Transmission (TRANA) Record should indicate the Fixed Format.
NOTE: Fixed and Variable data should not be submitted in the same transmission.
When the fixed length option is used, the following data field conventions must be
followed:
(b) Fields defined, as containing literal values (including embedded blanks) must be
as specified in the Record Layouts. Trailing blanks must be entered.
NOTE: The trailing blanks are not shown in the Record Layouts.
(b) Signed numeric fields (money amounts): Right-justify with leading zeros,
reserving the right-most position for the sign. A blank ( ) indicates a gain and a
minus sign (-) indicates loss.
(c) Signed numeric fields that can also contain literal values: Enter signed numeric
fields as described above. When entering a literal value, left-justify and blank-fill
the field.
The Variable Length Option provides for the transmission of only key fields and
significant data fields within a return record. The TRANA, TRANB, Statement Record,
Summary, RECAP Records, Preparer Note, Election Explanation and Regulatory
Record must be transmitted in a Fixed Format.
(1) A “V” in the Record Type Indicator will indicate the Variable Format
(Field #0100) of the Transmission (TRANA) Record. In this format, the data field is
preceded by the applicable field identification number shown in specific record
layouts. The field identification number is enclosed within square bracket field
delimiters ([ ]).
NOTE: Variable and Fixed data should not be submitted in the same
transmission.
NOTE: The Record Control Information must precede any variable format
but must not be preceded by Field Numbers.
(2) The Record Control Information and the Record Terminus Character must remain
in Fixed Format. The individual data fields need only contain the significant data
(i.e., no leading zeros or trailing blanks).
(3) IMPORTANT: THE FOLLOWING THREE CHARACTERS left bracket "[", right
bracket "]", and pound sign or hash mark "#" ARE RESERVED AS DELIMITERS
AND MAY NOT APPEAR AS DATA CHARACTERS.
(4) For Variable Length Records the following data field conventions must be followed:
Alphanumeric Fields - Variable Format
1. Left - justify data in field. Do not enter leading blanks. Trailing blanks may be
dropped.
1. Unsigned numeric fields, leading zeros must be dropped, except for date and
percentage fields.
2. Signed numeric fields (money amounts): Leading zeros may be dropped. For a
positive value, the trailing blank that indicates a gain is dropped. For a negative
value in a field that can contain either a gain or loss, the minus sign ("-") must
be entered in the last position of the signed numeric field.
3. Signed numeric field that can also contain literal values: Enter signed numeric
fields as described above. When entering a literal value, left-justify the field, it is
not necessary to enter trailing blanks.
NOTE: The Byte Count must include the four character Byte Count field,
the record sentinel field and all left/right brackets including the field
numbers.
Because the individual data fields of the Statement and Summary Records are not
keyed to Field Sequence Numbers, all the data fields must be formatted as fixed
length fields, so the data will appear in the correct positions. If a field contains no
data, it must be blank-filled or zero-filled.
When transmitting in fixed format, each Statement and Summary Record will begin
the Record Control Information (Byte Count and Start of Record Sentinel fields) in
the same fixed format as shown in the Record Layouts. This is followed by the
opening square bracket field delimiter ([), the Record ID, the data fields formatted
as fixed length fields, the closing square bracket field delimiter (]), and the Record
Terminus Character (#).
The first record on each file must be the Transmission (TRANA and TRANB) Record
that will identify the Transmitter, the file format and the specific file being transmitted.
The Transmitter is the firm transmitting directly to the IRS.
The second record is the Return Record. Each tax return must start with a Form 1041
Page 1 and followed by a Form 1041 Page 2, 3 and 4.
If Schedule Records are included in the return they should follow the Form 1041 return
and be the second series of records. Each Schedule Record within a Form 1041
contains a Schedule Occurrence Number (Field #0005 for page 1). The Schedule
Occurrence Number increments by one for each succeeding schedule. If a return
contains several Schedules C and Schedules F, the Schedule C Schedule Occurrence
Number would begin with 0000001 for both pages, incremented by one for each
succeeding Schedule C. The first Schedule F Schedule Occurrence Number would
also begin with 0000001 on both pages 1 and 2 and would also be incremented by one
for each succeeding Schedule F (i.e., 0000002, 0000003, 0000004, etc). Each
schedule page should appear in ascending alphabetical order by schedule type. For
each schedule page filed the appropriate summary count should be incremented.
If Form Records are included in the return they should be the third series of records and
should follow the schedules if present. Each form record within a Form 1041 return
contains a Form Occurrence Number (Field #0005). The Form Occurrence Number
increments by one for each succeeding form. If a return contains several Forms 4562
and Forms 4684, the Form 4562 Form Occurrence Number would begin with 0000001
for both page 1 and 2, incremented by one for each succeeding Form 4562. The first
Form 4684 Form Occurrence Number would also begin with 0000001 on both pages 1
and 2 and would also increment by one for each succeeding Form 4684 (i.e., 0000002,
0000003, 0000004, etc). Forms must be in ascending numeric sequence order.
(1) Statement Records are the series of records after Returns, Schedules, Forms and
Payment Record (if applicable), and can be used only where the Record Layout
specifies "STMbnn". Statement Records are only used WHEN:
a. The number of data items exceeds the number that can be contained in the
Field provided on the electronic form or schedule. Data must be provided on a
separate Statement (STM) Record; or
(2) An optional statement (marked with an asterisk '*' sign in the record layout) or a
required statement (marked with a commercial at sign '@' in record layout) will
contain at least one statement line record if corresponding fields contain significant
data, otherwise the fields should contain blanks.
(4) The first 55 characters of a statement record are a combination of specific data and
reserved fields. The record begins as: 0136, followed by ****. The total bytes for
each line must equal 136.
(5) Each line of a statement must contain the EIN of the primary taxpayer and is
considered a record itself.
(6) The Data Record field begins at position 56 and continues for 80 positions through
position 0135. All 80 positions must be populated. The record concludes at position
0136 with the Record Terminus character.
(7) Each Statement Record is given a sequential number from 001-96. Statement
References 97, 98, and 99 are for Schedules D,J, and K-1, respectively. See
Reject Code 296. References to statements on the tax return must be in ascending
numeric sequence and must be referenced in the same sequence as they appear
on the forms and schedules.
(8) Each Statement Record may have up to 99 pages and each page may consist of
50 lines per page.
(9) The 80 character literal description of data corresponding to any Statement Record
within the return, containing non-tabular data (e.g. Field #0380 in Form 1041), will
begin with line 1. Data should appear left justified as a continuous print line. The
same statement may be continued with additional lines, consecutively numbered,
until a maximum of 50 lines have been formatted for the first page or the end of the
information needed to be formatted as a statement has been reached, whichever
comes first. If additional lines are needed to complete a statement, an additional
page with a maximum of 50 lines may be formatted continuing with the line
numbering sequence starting with line one.
(10) The Statement Record with tabular data may contain column headings (tabular
column titles) spaced with the headings as they would appear on the printed form.
If the sta tement data does not require tabulation, free format is allowed.
Statement (STMb99) – The Statement Record Literal for Schedule K-1 (Form 1041)
must be written as STMb99.
Free form Statement Record for Schedule K-1. The Statement Record for a Schedule
K-1 is used in place of paper attachments to the Schedule K-1. There is only 1
statement (STMb99) per Schedule K-1. The Schedule K-1 sequence range is 0000001-
9999999. Statements Records and the Schedule K-1 must have the same sequence
number and Employer Identification Number (EIN). A Schedule K-1 Statement Record
(STMb99) must trail the corresponding Schedule K-1. The Statement Record (STMb99)
for Schedule K-1 page 1 must trail the corresponding Schedule K-1 page 1. Each
Statement Record may have up to 99 pages and each page may consist of 50 lines per
page.
Example: (STM099)
Schedule K-1 Page 1 00-0000000 Sequence 1
STMb99 Page 1 00-0000000 LN 1 Sequence 1
Note: Statement Records (STM099 and STM100) may have up to 999 pages
with 50 lines per page.
The preparer record is to provide additional voluntary information related to the tax
return but not required to be attached to the return.
The election explanation record can be used when the taxpayer makes an election for
certain tax treatment, status, exception or exemption based on an instruction for the tax
form or in a related tax publication when there is no official IRS form designed for that
purpose.
The regulatory explanation can be used when the taxpayer cites a specific
regulation for certain tax treatment, status, exception or exemption when there is
no official IRS form designed for that purpose.
The Summary Record or Schedule K-1 Summary Record is the final record for each
Form 1041 tax return. This record will contain filer identification data; counts of the
schedules, forms and statements included in one return; and indicators for paper
documents that are attached to Form 8453-F.
The RECAP Record is the final record in a return file. Fields in this record cross-
reference the transmitter's information from the first record of the Transmission (TRANA
and TRANB) Record. The RECAP Record contains a field that specifies the Total
Return Count (Field #0030) for all the records submitted within the transmission.
Note: The Preparer Note, Election Explanation and Regulatory Explanation Records
are allowed a maximum of 20 pages and 4,000 characters per page.

2. If the entire transmission is rejected by the Unisys programs, the ACK File will
contain the following :
b. One ACK Record Set consisting of an ACK Key Record with a “T” in the
Acceptance Code Field, and one ACK Error Record containing all transmission
reject errors related to this transmission.
3. If the transmission is accepted, the Acknowledgement File will contain the following:
a. The ACK Key Record contains information to identify the return it represents, plus
a field to indicate how many (if any) ACK Error Records follow. See the
Acknowledgement Key Record Layout for the Values of the Acceptance Code.
b. If present, each ACK Error Record will contain data defining the Form Record
Number, the Form Occurrence for multiple occurrences of forms or schedules, the
Field Sequence Number, and the Error Reject Code describing the specific error
encountered – for up to eight unique errors.
5. Any tax return with an “A” in the Acceptance Reject Code Field has been accepted as
a filed tax return and will be processed in the same manner as a return submitted as a
paper document. This does not imply that the return will pass all IRS Service Center
validity checks or post to the IRS Master File without delays.
6. If an ACK KEY Record contains a “R” in the Acceptance Code Field, the return has
been rejected due to a fatal error involving the return format, internal consistency, or
data errors in a key field, and must be corrected and resubmitted to the IRS to be
considered as a filed return.
7. If an ACK KEY Record contains a “D” in the Acceptance Code Field, the return has
been identified as a duplicate record, (i.e., a return record has previously been
transmitted and accepted for the Primary EIN) or 2 or more returns with the same
Primary EIN have been submitted on one transmission.
8. Up to 96, three –position, Reject Codes may be furnished to the Electronic Filer on
the ACK Error Record(s). Filers should use these Error Reject Codes to determine
the source of the error causing the return or transmission to reject. Error Reject Code
“999” is generated if more than the maximum number of reject conditions (96) are
identified.
9. Error Reject Codes and references to validation criteria related to the errors are listed
in SECTION 7. Filers should use this information to resolve reject conditions. When a
condition cannot be resolved with the information provided, the filer should contact the
Electronic Filing Unit at the Ogden IRS Center for assistance at
(866) 255-0654.
1. After the FEPS has verified that the transmitter is an authorized user and after a
VALID logon, the following messages are sent from the FEPS back to the
transmitter:
NOTE: The default is N, to receive ackno wledgment files, you must enter "Y" or
"y", followed by carriage return "<cr>" to override. If not, you will be disconnected
because it is a requirement of IRS e-file to pick up ACK Files timely. The next time
you logon, you will be sent a Communications Error Acknowledgment File with the
following message:
4. The transmitter should match the Acknowledgment File back to the original file
transmitted by using the IRS-assigned file name, a combination of ETIN and
sequence number. If no ACK File is received, call the Help Desk to be sure that
there is not a processing delay. Any electronically transmitted return which is not
acknowledged by the Service has NOT been accepted for processing, and must
be resubmitted and acknowledged as accepted before it is considered a filed
return.
5. When a return has been rejected after three attempts, contact the Electronic
Filing Unit Help Desk at the Ogden IRS Center for assistance.

INTRODUCTION
As of November 1, 2006, the EMS will be accessed with a new Login-Id created
to strengthen authentication. An eight-byte, alphanumeric EMS Login-Id will be sent for
each ETIN in a letter to Trading Partners in October 2006.
All transmissions must use either 1) the Internet using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
with Telnet/S, or 2) an encrypted IRS-approved dedicated/leased line supplied by the
transmitter.
• Software Developers must integrate the encryption solution in their transmission packages for
direct filing.
• If transmitters do not have the IRS documents concerning Internet Filing or Dedicated Leased
Line Encryption: Send e-mail for encryption documentation and specifications to
[email protected]
NOTE 1: Transmitters who elect to use high-speed lines or expect to handle a large
volume of electronic returns may request to lease their own dedicated line(s) at either
the ECC located at Martinsburg. They must arrange to lease and install the lines and
purchase modems or routers at both ends.
NOTE 2: Transmitters who wish to file through their Internet Service Provider (ISP)
must acquire e-file software that incorporates Secure Socket Layer (SSL) with a
Telnet/s protocol and the interface to the IRS gateway to the FEPS.
b. Character Codes
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) -|
c. File Compression
COMPRESS
GZIP (Freeware available from www.gzip.org)
All responses are echoed back except the password. On default prompts,
the cursor will be to the right of the colon and blank (": ").
After dialing the assigned telephone number to the FEPS, the transmitter must
first enter the carriage return <cr> character, which typically can
be generated by simultaneously entering the Control ("Ctrl") and "m" keys.
This alerts the Operating System to transmit an ASCII login prompt.
NOTE: Turn off call waiting (*70) before logging onto the FEPS to
avoid aborted sessions. (Check with your phone company to
verify use of *70 to disable call waiting).
5. EXAMPLES
6. SUSPENDED TRANSMITTER
e. The next time the TP logs in, the TP will receive this ACK
file, but will not be able to transmit. The TP can continue
to pick up all ACK Files.
g. The e-HD will remove the Suspend Indicator so that the TP can
re-transmit the file and begin transmitting new files.
a. Transmission Inactivity
The EMS has incorporated a new password management feature within the trading
partner interface, which is documented in Section 3 of this manual. This section
illustrates the different responses for each password condition when a trading
partner’s password must be changed. Section 3 is categorized into five
subsections, which are listed as follows:
The TP is then prompted for his/her EMS login id and password as shown in
Exhibit 3-2. (Note: Not only will the password not be displayed, but
also there will be no indication of how many characters the TP has typed).
login: xxxxxxxx
Password:
If there are more than seven days until the password expires,
then processing continues as in Paragraph “e” of this section.
If the TP’s responses meet the rules for changing the password (refer
to Appendix G for rules regarding passwords), the password is changed
and the message shown in Exhibit 3-5 is displayed. The TP will
subsequently use the new password to log into either EMS processing
center. Processing then continues. as described in Data Communication
.01.9.e.
Password changed.
However, if the TP’s responses to the password prompts do not meet the
rules for changing the password, then an error message is displayed.
A TP is given at most three tries to change his/her password.
If the TP does not enter the same password in response to the “Enter
new password” and “Re-enter new password” prompts, then the password
is not changed and the message shown in Exhibit 3 -6 is displayed.
If the TP has unsuccessfully attempted to change his/her password
less than three times, he/she is prompted for his/her new password as
shown in Exhibit 3-4. If this is the third unsuccessful attempt, then
the TP is disconnected.
If the TP enters a new password that does not meet the rules, then
the password is not changed and the message shown in Exhibit 3-7 is
displayed. If the TP has unsuccessfully attempted to change his/her
password less than three times, he/she is prompted for his/her new
password as previously shown in Exhibit 3-4. If this is the third
unsuccessful attempt, the TP is disconnected.
If the TP has concurrent sessions, only one can change the password.
If the TP attempts to change his/her password in more than one session,
only one will be allowed and the message shown in Exhibit 3-8 is
displayed to the other session(s) and the TP is disconnected.

Next the Main Menu is displayed. The list of choices depends on whether
the TP is a State TP or not. The Main Menu for non-State TPs is shown in
Exhibit 3-16 while the Main Menu for State TPs is shown in Exhibit 3-17.
Since most TPs are not State TPs the Main Menu exhibits in the remainder
of this document except for Data Communication .01.15 will look
like Exhibit 3-16.
From the Main Menu, the non-State TP can now choose to receive
acknowledgment files and transmit a file, change the protocol and/or
compression settings, request a Transmission Status Report, change
his/her password, or end the session. Whenever the TP completes a
process initially selected from the Main Menu other than Logoff,
he/she is returned to the Main Menu screen.

the State Return Menu to perform the State functions described in Data
Communication .01.9.e., or end the session. Whenever the
State TP completes a process initiated by menu items 2-6, he/she is
returned to the Main Menu screen. Whenever the State TP chooses to exit
the State Return Menu, he/she is returned to the Main Menu.

For all TPs, the current file transfer protocol is displayed in brackets
next to the “Change File Transfer Protocol” menu item. Likewise, the TP’s
current compression method is displayed in brackets next to the “Change
Compression Method” menu item. The possible file transfer protocols and
compression method values are identified in Data Communication .01.10.a-b.,
where the “File Transfer Protocols” and “File Compression Methods” menus are
discussed.
If the TP enters a character that is not one of the listed number choices, i.e., is not
1-6 for non-State TPs or is not 1-7 for State TPs, then an invalid menu selection
message along with the Main Menu is displayed. An example is provided in
Exhibit 3-18. If the TP fails to make a valid selection in three attempts, the TP is
disconnected.

When the TP chooses “Change File Transfer Protocol,” the menu shown
depends on whether or not the TP has been approved to use the FTP
protocol (see Appendix C for FTP usage). If the TP cannot use the FTP
protocol, the menu shown in Exhibit 4-2 is displayed. Brackets frame the
TP’s current file transfer protocol. The TP’s initial setting is “ZMODEM.”
Exhibit 4-2 Initial File Transfer Protocol Menu Display without FTP
If the TP has been approved to use the FTP protocol, he/she must
provide certain configuration information to the IRS before being
able to use FTP. Once the TP’s FTP configuration information has
been added to the EMS system, then the menu shown in Exhibit 4-3
is displayed.
Exhibit 4-3 Initial File Transfer Protocol Menu Display with FTP
After the TP selects a protocol, the Main Menu is redisplayed with the
selected protocol in brackets as shown in Exhibit 4-5. This protocol
setting is saved and is used for all future incoming/outgoing file
transfers unless the TP changes the protocol again.

chooses 3) GZIP or 4) COMPRESS and sends a file that was compressed using
PKZIP file format 2.04g, EMS is able to decompress the file. EMS Ack files that
are returned to the TPs are named based on the compression method chosen.
For example, a TP sends in a file named abc.zip compressed with PKZIP 9 and
chooses option 3) GZIP. The Ack file returned will have the extension beginning
with .GZ. See Exhibit A-1 in Appendix A for the complete list of possible Ack file
names. PKZIP and WINZIP will then decompress these files successfully. PKZIP
9 and WINZIP 9 were both successfully tested with EMS. EMS does not support
the use of PKZIP’s new encryption capabilities because of the “key management”
issue.

When the TP chooses the “Receive/Send File(s)” menu item, the EMS TP
Interface software checks to see if there are acknowledgment files to be sent
to the TP. If there are no acknowledgment files, the message in Exhibit 5-2
is displayed and processing continues as discussed in Data Communication
.01.12. This allows TPs to submit files even if there are no acknowledgment
files waiting delivery.
If there are acknowledgment files, the text shown in Exhibit 5-3 is displayed.
The message shows the number of acknowledgment files waiting delivery to
the TP. All acknowledgment files waiting delivery to the TP are delivered
before the TP can submit a file. The count of acknowledgment files is
updated every time the TP selects item 2) Receive/Send File(s), from the
Main Menu. Additional acknowledgment files that were generated during
the session are reflected in this count.
If the TP enters anything other than “Y” or “y,” the Main Menu as shown in
Exhibit 5-1 is redisplayed. If the TP fails to respond affirmatively three
consecutive times he/she is disconnected.
Next, the TP is asked if he/she wants to send a file. Item 12 discusses sending
files. After the receive acknowledgment p rocess has completed, if the TP has
been suspended, he/she is not allowed to transmit new files. Instead, the
message “SUSPENDED TRANSMITTER/ETIN” is displayed, and the TP is
disconnected from EMS (Exhibit 5-8).
SUSPENDED TRANSMITTER/ETIN.
Disconnecting from EFS.
Exhibit 5-8 Suspended TP Message
Should this occur, the TP must contact the Home SPC EMS e-Help
Desk to inquire about of the suspended status.
If the TP enters anything other than “Y” or “y,” the Main Menu as shown in
Exhibit 5-1 is redisplayed. If there are no acknowledgment files for the TP
to receive and the TP fails to respond affirmatively three times in a row,
the TP is disconnected.

Once the TP has been notified that the file transfer is beginning
(Exhibit 6-2 or 6-3), the TP has 60 seconds to begin his/her file transfer. If the
EMS does not receive at least part of the TP’s file within 60 seconds, the TP is
disconnected.
If the TP Interface software detects that the transmission did not complete
successfully, the message in Exhibit 6-5 is displayed followed by the Main Menu.
If this happens three consecutive times, the TP is disconnected.

changed and the message shown in Exhibit 8-6 is displayed. If the TP has
unsuccessfully attempted to change his/her password less than three times,
he/she is prompted for his/her current and new passwords as previously shown
in Exhibit 8 -2. If this is the third unsuccessful attempt, then the Main Menu is
redisplayed as previously shown in Exhibit 8 -4.
If the TP enters a new password that does not meet the rules identified in
Appendix G, then the password is not changed and the message shown
in Exhibit 8 -7 is displayed. If the TP has unsuccessfully attempted to change
his/her password less than three times, he/she is prompted for his/her current
and new passwords as previously shown in Exhibit 8-2. If this is the third un-
successful attempt, then the Main Menu is redisplayed as shown in Exhibit 8-4.
If it has been less than seven days since the last time the TP changed his/her
password, then the password is not changed and the message shown in Exhibit
8-8 is displayed. The TP is then returned to the Main Menu as previously shown
in Exhibit 8 -4. If it has been less than seven days and the TP needs to change
his/her password, he/she should contact his/her Home SPC EMS e-Help Desk.
If the TP has concurrent sessions, only one can change the password. If the TP

The TP can only choose the “Change Password” menu item once during a
session. If the TP chooses the “Change Password” menu item more than
once, the message shown in Exhibit 8-11 is displayed immediately. If this
happensthree times in a session, the TP is disconnected; otherwise the Main
Menu is redisplayed as previously shown in Exhibit 8-4.
Note: You will not go through the password prompts for this scenario.
Except in the case of a system error the Main Menu is displayed as previously
shown in Exhibit 8-4 after the TP completes the change password process

When the State TP chooses “Show State Return Menu” from the
Main Menu, the State Return Menu shown in Exhibit 9-4 is displayed.
If the State TP enters a character that is not one of the listed number choices,
then an invalid menu selection message along with the State Return Menu is
displayed as shown in Exhibit 9-5. If the State TP fails to make a valid selection
from the State Return Menu in three attempts, the State TP is disconnected.
After the State TP completes tasks on the State Return Menu and chooses
“Return to MAIN MENU,” the Main Menu is redisplayed (Exhibit 9-1). The State
TP can continue selecting menu options or choose “Logoff” from the Main Menu
to end the session.
When the State TP chooses “Reset State File” from the State Return Menu, the
State TP is asked to enter the state file sequence number as shown in
Exhibit 9-6.
If the State TP depresses "Enter" without entering a state file sequence number,
the State TP is returned to the State Return Menu (Exhibit 9-4). If the State TP
enters a non-numeric entry, the State TP is returned to the State Return Menu
after being informed of an invalid file sequence number entry as shown in Exhibit
9-7. If the State TP fails to enter a valid state file sequence number in three
attempts, the State TP is disconnected.
If the State TP enters a valid state sequence number and the state file is
successfully reset so that the state can download the file, a reset message is
displayed that contains the state filename as shown in Exhibit 9-8.
OR
(SEE NEXT PAGE)

If the State TP encounters errors three consecutive times when trying to reset the
state file, the State TP is disconnected.
If the State TP reaches the limit for the number of state files that can be reset in
one State Return Menu session (10 is the limit), and the State TP selects “Reset
State File” from the State Return Menu, the message shown in Exhibit 9-13 is
displayed followed by the Sta te Return Menu.
Previously this report was automatically displayed during the state data retrieval
session. When the State TP chooses “Request State Files to Download Report”
from the State Return Menu and no state files are available to send to the State
TP, the message shown in Exhibit 9-14 is displayed followed by the State Return
Menu. If this happens three times in a row, the State TP is disconnected.
When the State TP chooses “Request State Files to Download Report” from the
State Return Menu, and there are state files to download, the State Files
Download Report is transmitted to the State TP using the current default file
transfer protocol and the compression method settings displayed on the Main
Menu. A message notifying the State TP that the report transfer is about to begin
is displayed. For Zmodem, Xmodem, or Ymodem, the message in Exhibit 9-15 is
displayed. For FTP, the message shown in Exhibit 9-16 is displayed. The file
transfer will begin after the appropriate notice.
If the report file transmission did not complete successfully, the message shown
in Exhibit 9 -17 is displayed followed by the State Return Menu. If this happens
three times in a row, the State TP is disconnected.
If the report file is transmitted successfully, the message shown in Exhibit 9-18 is
displayed followed by the State Return Menu.
The State TP can make only one State Files to Download report request per
State Return Menu session. If the State TP tries to request a report again, the
message shown in Exhibit 9-19 is displayed followed by the State Return Menu.
If this happens three times in a State Return Menu session, the State TP is
disconnected.
When the State TP chooses “Receive State Return File(s)” from the State Return
Menu and no state files are available to send to the State TP, the message
shown in Exhibit 9-21 is displayed followed by the State Return Menu.
The State TP will no longer receive a dummy file with a STCAP record containing
the NO STATE DATA AVAILABLE message if there are no available files to send
to the state. If the State TP chooses “Receive State Return File(s)” three times in
a row and no state return files are available, the State TP is disconnected.
When the State TP chooses “Receive State Return File(s)” from the State Return
Menu and state data files are present on the SRS that have not been sent to the
State TP, they will be transmitted as separate files to the State TP. The state
files are transmitted to the State TP using the current default file transfer protocol
displayed on the Main Menu. The state return files sent to the State TP will
continue to be in GZIP compressed format. The compression setting from the
Main Menu is ignored for the transmission of state return files. A message
notifying the State TP that the state file(s) transfer is about to begin is displayed.
When the retrieval of state return data file(s) is successfully completed, the
message shown in Exhibit 9-24 is displayed before the State TP is returned to
the State Return Menu.
If there are errors during the transmission of the last file, or the State TP aborts
the transmission, the communications line is disconnected after the messages
shown in Exhibit 9-25 are displayed.

The format of the reference name is MMDDnnnn where MM month and DD day match
the GTX Key. The nnnn number is a 4-digit sequence number generated by the EMS.
The reference name is used to generate the acknowledgment file name.
Note 1: MM = month
DD = day
nnnn = 4 digit sequence number
Note 2: GZIP preserves the uncompressed ACK file name (e.g., MMDDnnnn.ACK)
in its archive.
Note 3: Compress does not preserve the uncompressed ACK file name.
Note 4: For State Ack files that are redirected to a TP ETIN, the ack file will have the
file extension “Sss” where “ss” is the standard postal abbreviation published
in IRS Publication 1346 “Standard Postal Service State Abbreviations and Zip
Codes.” For example, the file extension “SMD” will be used for an ack file
from the state of Maryland. If the state ack file contains a code that does not
appear in Pub 1346, then “ss” will be replaced with “XX”. In this case, the file
extension would be “SXX”.
Note 5: The acknowledgment file names shown in this appendix use upper case
letters. These are the names as they appear on EMS. Some file transfer
protocols and/or some operating systems may translate the names into
lowercase.
EMS checks all incoming files for viruses. If a virus is detected, EMS returns
an error acknowledgment to the TP in XML format. If EMS detects a virus, the
TP is placed in suspended status. Should this occur, the TP must contact the
Home SPC EMS Help Desk to request removal of the suspended status.
Below is the format for the error acknowledgment that is returned to the TP
when a virus is detected in the transmission. All TPs receive the XML
format acknowledgment, even if the transmission was sent using a different
IRS approved format. Note that the second line of the file, the
Content-Description contains a plain English description of the problem;
therefore, an understanding of XML is not required to interpret the message.
The shaded areas contain the GTX key, a timestamp, and the virus name.
These values vary for each returned acknowledgment. The remainder of the
message is constant.

As of November 1, 2005 analog and IRS ISDN services are no longer available.
However, it may be possible for a TP to use ISDN if he/she provides his/her own
equipment.
Use of digital services requires authorization from the IRS. Please contact Darryl Giles
at (202) 283-5193, e-mail [email protected].
As of No vember 1, 2005, all dedicated lines must be encrypted using at least 128-bit
encryption provided by a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) approved
method. A TP, using the digital service, is responsible for choosing, procuring, and
installing his/her cryptographic solution. To determine if a cryptographic solution meets
FIPS standards obtain the "NIST Validation List Certification Number and Date" from
the solution provider. This information can be verified by checking the NIST website at
http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/. There are validation lists for each major FIPS
Cryptographic Standard. Each list has a sequence number, and lists the
manufacturer/supplier, date of validation, name of the implementation, its operational
environment, and a further description of other characteristics.
The IRS recommends the use of Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) as the cryptographic
solution for the digital service. Additional information for TPs who use Cisco routers
and may need to upgrade them to support IPsec is provided in Section C.1.4.
The following paragraphs describe the hardware and software necessary to use the
digital communication service.
Two (2) Cisco 7206 routers have been installed in both Martinsburg and Memphis.
Each Cisco 7206 has an aggregate bandwidth of 600 Mbps and contains six slots for
communications adapters. While one of the routers is a hot spare, the active 7206 is
configured as follows:
• One (1) Ethernet adapter with four (4) ports–-10 Mbps each port
• One (1) High speed synchronous adapter, which supports eight (8) ports
• One (1) High speed synchronous adapter, which supports four (4) ports
• All high speed synchronous ports support speeds up to 2.048 Mbps. Some TPs
have connected to the interfaces directly from their own high-speed
communications equipment
TPs use either Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or Frame Relay link encapsulation when
connecting to the high speed synchronous ports.
For a TP to connect over a dedicated line he/she must purchase the circuit. Once the
TP’s request for digital service is approved, the IRS provides him/her with IP
addressing and routing information.
Connection to the EMS system using the digital communications services provides the
TP with a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) interface. To use
this service the TP must have the following:
• The ability to make a SSH or a secure alternative for Telnet connection from
his/her system to an EMS host.
• If the TP plans to use Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for data transfer,
his/her system must support an FTP server and have the ability to accept an FTP
connection from the EMS. The TP must supply a user logon and password for
the EMS system to use when connecting to his/her FTP server.
• A router capable of supporting PPP or Frame Relay over the digital circuit.
Once the TP establishes a connection using EMS digital services the following
capabilities are available.
Appendix C
Publication 1438 December 2006 Section B 65
• C.1 Digital Service, continued
• Transfer of data using FTP. If a TP has a host system that supports FTP, he/she
may use this as a protocol to send and receive files to the EMS system. For TPs
using this transfer method the only configuration needed is to setup a user
account for EMS to use and directories for EMS to use to “get” return files and
“put” acknowledgment files. EMS transmits one file for each acknowledgment file
available for processing. The file transfers are binary and the “#” hash mark is
displayed for every 1,024 bytes of data transferred.
• File transfers over Telnet. If a TP uses TCP/IP to connect to the EMS system,
his/her logon to the system is through Telnet. If the TP does not want to use FTP
to transfer files, he/she may use another file transfer protocol such as Zmodem
over the Telnet session. This capability is currently available in many of the
Telnet application programs. The file transfer rate of Zmodem over a Telnet
session is not as fast as FTP. See Sections C.3 and C.4 for more details.
• One final aspect of a TCP/IP connection to the EMS is that TCP/IP supports
multiple simultaneous connections to the same host or multiple hosts. A TP may
submit files over multiple concurrent sessions. However, only one session per
host can retrieve acknowledgment files.
To support IPsec encryption, TPs with existing Cisco routers may need to upgrade their
router’s IOS® and memory to the minimum requirements listed in Exhibit C-1 for their
specific platform. TPs that are registered Cisco users can download the newer IOS
version from Cisco’s website (www.cisco.com).
IOS version features will vary per router. As a rule, the IRS will use the highest 12.2
GD (General Deployment) release at the time of implementation with the following
feature sets: IP PLUS/IPSEC 3DES.
Appendix C
Depending on other functions used by the router (e.g., NAT, IOS firewall, T1 lines), the
CPU utilization can be seriously degraded by adding encryption functionality. It is
recommended that acceleration modules be added. If possible, it is also recommended
that the base router component be upgraded (i.e., 1700 to a 1750, 2600 to a 2650,
etc.). There are no hardware upgrades or module additions for the 800 series routers;
therefore, TPs using these routers should consider upgrading to a 1750 series router.
The Cisco 1600 series and 2500 series routers do not support IPsec and must be
upgraded. Cisco recommends an upgrade to the next highest platform. (i.e., 1600
Router to 1700 Router or 2500 Router to 2600 Router). See the Cisco website for
details.
Those TPs that wish to purchase new routers can do so by purchasing Cisco’s “VPN
bundles.” Exhibit C-2 identifies IRS recommended bundles.
C3725-VPN/K9 3725 VPN Bundle, AIM-VPN/EPII, Plus IOS FW/IPSEC 3DES, 128DRAM
C3745-VPN/K9 3745 VPN Bundle, AIM-VPN/HPII, Plus IOS FW/IPSEC 3DES, 128DRAM
The Telnet/SSL traffic must be transmitted to EMS on TCP port 992. The TP may need
to configure his/her firewall(s) to allow this traffic to pass through. This has been the
most common cause of failure to connect to EMS through the Internet. Most
businesses routinely block traffic on ports not commonly used for security reasons. The
TP connects to EMS using one of the following fully qualified Domain Name Service
(DNS) names.
ETA provides information on which processing sites are located at the two computing
centers, and which DNS name above to use during the calendar year.
If the TP’s software allows him/her to establish concurrent sessions to the same
computing center, the TP may submit files over multiple concurrent sessions. However,
only one session can retrieve acknowledgment files. TPs should note that FTP is not
available as a file transfer protocol when using the Internet service.
A TP may need to provide the following information when he/she is configuring their
terminal emulation software.
• Terminal Type. Select a member of the Virtual Terminal (VT) family (e.g.,
VT100 or VT220).
• Port. 992. This port number is often filled in automatically by the terminal
emulation software if Telnet/SSL is chosen.
• Destination or Host Name. One of the fully qualified names listed previously.
• Host Certificate. EMS sends an Entrust certificate, which the terminal emulation
software must accept.
• Operating System (OS). If your terminal emulation software asks for an OS, it
is asking about the Trading Partner’s system, not the EMS system. Enter the
local system parameters upon which the terminal emulation software will be
running.
• Data Characters. Please specify eight bit data characters if your terminal
emulation software does not default to it.
The IRS has tested several terminal emulation software packages supporting Telnet-
SSL including PowerTerm Pro Enterprise for Unix Version 8.8.3, Hummingbird Exceed,
and Attachmate. Many other commercial and open-source packages can also be used
as long as they support the Telnet specification RFC 854 and the SSL 3.0 specification.
If a TP cannot successfully connect using an internally developed package we
recommend using one of the above packages, which can often be evaluated free, to
verify the connectivity parameters outlined above. Additional guidance is given in C.3
and C.4.
If the TP uses Zmodem, Xmodem-1K, or Ymodem-batch to transfer files over the Telnet
session, to be successful the TP’s Telnet program must support connections that allow
all eight bits of the data to pass through. This is often accomplished on the Telnet
command line as “telnet –8 host”. If the TP uses the “telnet -8” method, the screen
display may appear distorted and after typing in the TP identification information the
systems appears to be hung. If this occurs the TP should terminate his/her responses
with a Line-Feed Character. On a sta ndard keyboard, depressing the Control Key and
the “j” key at the same time generates this character. As an alternative to the “telnet -8”
option, the TP may set binary mode before beginning a file transfer and unset binary
mode upon completion of the transfer.
The most common file transfer software used over the Telnet Session is Zmodem. The
package consists of the “sz” command for sending files and the “rz” command for
receiving files. As with the Telnet session options described in Section C.3, there are
options that may need to be invoked to achieve a successful file transfer. In addition, it
is important to note that these options are not necessarily mutually exclusive from the
Telnet options. It may be that having a specific Zmodem option set might mean that a
Telnet option does not need to be invoked. It is recommended that TPs explore the
Zmodem options first. These options are available if the TP is experiencing problems:
• Zmodem Escape Control Characters. This option, usually “-e”, will have
Zmodem watch for control characters and modify them so that they pass through
undetected as control characters. The option is sometimes available on both the
“sz” and “rz” commands. Other versions have the –e option available only on the
“rz”.
• Zmodem Timeout Values. Within Zmodem there are options for how long to
wait for an expected packet of data. The default is normally 10 seconds. In most
cases, this value should be acceptable. However, the TP should never set these
values to wait forever.
• Zmodem buffer timeout. There may be times when the timeout values may
need to be changed. This can occur with TPs, whose connection to their ISP is
through a dial-up line. Because of the buffering ability of telecommunications
equipment and the amount of communications equipment usually in place for an
Internet connection, the amount of data that can be stored could cause an error.
This can happen if a file that is to be transmitted is approximately the same size
as one of the buffers present in the data link. The sending program will have
completed the streaming of all the data in the file but the receiving side may not
have gotten any data yet. If the sending side has its receive packet timeout set
too low, it may timeout before the receiver can receive and transmit the packet.
• Zmodem sliding window. If this option is not enabled, the sender transmits all
of a file without waiting for an acknowledgment. This results in a faster file
transfer. However, some of the intermediate communications equipment may
store data while it is transferred to the receiver. Sometimes this causes the
sender to "get ahead" of the receiver. In this case, the TP may need to enable
the sliding window option. This results in intermediate acknowledgments and a
slower file transfer. The smaller the value of the sliding window setting the
slower the file transfer.
• Crash Recovery. EMS does not retain partial files. Therefore, if a transmission
to EMS is interrupted, the TP must retransmit from the beginning of the file. For
acknowledgment files and state return files, EMS can resume the transmission
from where the interruption occurred in the transmission if the TP’s software
supports it.
The Transmission Status Report is returned to the TP within a file that is suitable for
display with a Web browser. The file can also be imported into newer versions of Excel
as an Excel spreadsheet. The file name is MMDDhhmm_rpt.html where MM=month,
DD=day, hh=hour, and mm=minute. If the TP had previously requested Unix file
compression, the file name would be MMDDhhmm_rpt.html.Z. If the TP has previously
selected GZIP compression, the file name would be MMDDhhmm_rpt.html.GZ. Some
file transfer protocols or operating systems may translate the “Z” or “GZ” to lowercase
“z” or “gz.”

While the following information is provided primarily for those who use scripts to control
interaction with EMS, it is also useful for individuals who login and conduct their
sessions “manually.”
1. Use pattern matching, not timers, to control the flow of scripts. Scripts should be
able to handle all messages and prompts from EMS, not just the main “retrieve
acknowledgment” and “submit a file” paths. See Appendix F for an example of a
script that is entirely controlled by simple pattern-matching.
3. Log off using the “Logoff” menu option on the main menu, instead of simply
hanging up. Do not hang up until the “DISCONNECTING FROM EFS” message has
been received. This is true for both scripted and human interaction with EMS.
4. When a message is received indicating that EMS is unavailable, don’t try again
immediately. Wait at least 10 minutes.
6. If a TP has multiple concurrent sessions at the same physical site using the same
ETIN, only one session will retrieve acknowledgments. Unless the other sessions
are used to submit files, they will not accomplish any useful work.
The following example is meant to illustrate how a script can communicate with EMS
using only pattern-matching to control logic flow. The example is for reference only, and
is not intended for actual use by trading partners.
This particular script is written in “expect”, designed for a Unix operating system, and
takes advantage of “expect’s” ability to specify a set of strings and events to be watched
for if there is a failure to match the string that is anticipated. It also assumes that files
are to be sent and received using the FTP protocol. A script that instead used the
Zmodem protocol, for example, would differ noticeably in those parts of the script that
accomplish the actual sending and receiving of files.
Most “expect” commands and syntax appearing in the script are reasonably intuitive, at
least for the limited purposes of illustration for which this script is intended. But it is
worth mentioning that the command “send” directs output to the telnet session, while the
command “send_user” directs output to “standard output”, which is assumed to be
directed to a local log file. Lines beginning with “#” are comments.
#!/opt/sfw/bin/expect -f $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6
-exact " EFS is currently unavailable. Additional information may be available on IRS
quick alerts. " {
send_user "got the EFS UNAVAILABLE message (abort) \n"
exit }
eof {
send_user "tp_client disconnected (abort) \n"
exit }
#If there are acks to pick up, EMS will prompt for the TP to receive them.
#If not, or after they have been picked up, EMS will prompt to allow sending a file.
#The logic below handles both possibilities.
#If there are files to pick up, the logic responds "y" to receive them.
#After they are received, it responds "y" to the prompt for sending a file,
