Import a 5500 filing into IFILE

Import filings prepared in EFAST2-approved third-party applications into IFILE and transmit them to the Department of Labor.
Plan Administrators can prepare filings in EFAST2-approved third-party applications and import them into IFILE for transmission. After you import a filing into IFILE, a Filing Author can edit it.
Follow these steps to import a filing:
  1. Sign in to EFAST2.
  2. In the
    Filings
    section, select
    Import a Filing
    .
  3. Complete all the requested information for the EFAST2 system.
  4. Find the XML file that the e-file process created in your system's data directory.
  5. Use this XML file to import your filing information.
  6. Once you import the filing, you can add attachments to IFILE.
