BEA Electronic Filing
File BEA surveys via the eFile System
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has developed this electronic data collection system for the collection of survey data which traditionally has been performed using paper forms. It is designed to suit the needs of our users and ease the reporting burden.
The ASTAR system has been discontinued and replaced with our new system called eFile. Go to https://www.bea.gov/efile to request a password. You must request a separate password for each survey and ID you wish to file, however the password you request is good for all available filing periods. You do not need to request a new password each quarter/year you wish to file.
If you need to file for a period that is not available in eFile, you will need to file that period on paper.
Please select the report you wish to file from the list below.
