TY 2006 Schema and Business Rule Updates |

January 22, 2007
Exempt Organization Software Developers
We are pleased to announce that we have posted the updated versions of the XML schemas and business rules to the both the Production Table and ATS Table on the web site. When we open for TY 2006 for the Forms 990/990-EZ/990-PF, Version 3.0, a major version change, will be the version that we will use. We have also posted updated versions (minor version changes) for all of the other forms. All of the forms will be available for testing in ATS on Sunday, February 11, 2007. We will be doing the installation on Saturday, February 10, 2007, into ATS, so we ask that you do not send in TY 2006 99x text files on Saturday. We don’t have the exact date yet on when these files will go into Production, so the “Start Date” field in the Production Table is blank.
XML Schemas
The schemas are posted in both the Production and ATS System tables. “Diff Files” are included that show the changes from the previous schema versions.
Business Rules
Business Rules are posted in two different formats that contain identical information – a Word document (.doc) and a comma separated file (.csv). A column within the file identifies changes made from the last version to help clarify changes made. New draft business rules are posted in both the Production and ATS System tables.
If you have any questions, you may send an e-mail to the EO e-file team at: TE/GE-EO-efile@irs.gov. You can also contact Donna Hockensmith from the EO e-file team at (202) 422-2113.
