Attach and validate a state K-1 XML file
Attach a state K-1 XML file, validate it for errors, and optionally suppress system-generated Schedule K-1s to ensure accurate aggregation of K-1 information for e-filing.
- Go to .
- SelectAttach K-1 Aggregation XML Fileto access theAdd Attachmentsscreen.
- Select the state for which you want to aggregate K-1 information.
- UseBrowseand select the K-1 XML file you want to use. The default attachment title is the file name, without an extension.note
- The file extension needs to be XML.
- A downloaded state e-file can have an extension specific for that state. For example, a state e-file for Alabama would have an extension of XAL. This file extension needs to be changed to XML before it can be attached for K-1 aggregation.
- Don’t change theAttachment Titledescription.
- SelectUpload. Once successfully attached, the K-1 XML file will appear on theSummaryscreen.
- On theSummaryscreen, select theValidate K-1 XML filebutton. If any validation errors exist in the K-1 XML file, the file needs to be detached from the locator, corrected, and reattached. This process needs to be repeated until the K-1 XML file contains no validation errors.
- On the same screen, find theSuppress system generated Schedule K-1scheckbox.note
- This checkbox forces the software to override any K-1 information entered in the return for that state. It'll report only the aggregated K-1 information. This is a state-by-state option.
- When the checkbox is cleared, the software uses K-1 information from the locator and utilizes the aggregated K-1 information.
The aggregated Schedule K-1 detail is included in the state XML file upon creating the state's e-file.
