North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner Electronic Filing (MeF) Procedures and Specifications Tax Year 2022 – Processing Year 2023 September 2022 Introduction The North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner partners with the Internal Revenue Service to accept electronic returns via the Modernized E-File (MeF) system. North Dakota accepts individual, fiduciary, partnership, subchapter S corporation, and C corporation returns. The transmission method is a web service using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) with attachments messaging. The return data is formatted using Extensible Markup Language (XML). Authorized Electronic Return Originators (EROs) can submit returns to the IRS MeF system for federal and state return processing. State returns should be transmitted as a “linked” submission (also referred to as a Fed/State return and the preferred method), but “unlinked” submissions (also referred to as a State Only return) are also accepted. Each return must be in a separate submission, but multiple submissions may be contained in a single payload. Software developers must test their software and receive approval from the North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner prior to submitting live returns. Purpose This manual provides general information for software developers, transmitters, and tax practitioners about North Dakota’s Modernized Electronic Filing Program and is a supplement to the materials available on our website and in the state exchange system (Kiteworks). All participants in the North Dakota Federal/State e-file program are our partners, including: Software Developers – A firm, organization, or individual who creates tax preparation and transmission software for formatting returns according to North Dakota’s electronic specifications. A software developer must test their communication/transmission protocol and test transmissions of all returns and schedules supported by their software that they intend to file. Electronic Return Originators (ERO) – A firm, organization, or individual who prepares or collects tax returns for electronic transmission. An ERO may be either a tax professional who prepares returns for their clients or someone who creates electronic returns from already prepared returns. Transmitters – A firm, organization, or individual who uses approved software to electronically transmit completed returns directly to the IRS. An ERO may also be a Transmitter or an ERO may have an arrangement with a third-party Transmitter to use their computer services. For Tax Period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 Acceptance testing begins the same day as the IRS. Prior to submitting test returns, developers must submit a letter of intent, which is only available via the state exchange system (Kiteworks). Software developers must first complete Internal Revenue Service testing before obtaining a final approval with North Dakota. The start-up date for the IRS Acceptance Testing may change. 1 |
North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner Electronic Filing (MeF) Procedures and Specifications Tax Year 2022 – Processing Year 2023 September 2022 Transmitters must be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service prior to sending data and testing the North Dakota acknowledgments. Electronic Return Originators are not required to perform state acceptance testing. North Dakota opens the gateway for production returns the same day as the IRS. Perfection periods for all MeF returns is 5 calendar days. See IRS MeF website for more details: www.irs.gov/Tax-Professionals/e-File-Providers-&- Partners/Modernized-e-File-Program-Information New for Tax Year 2022 Beginning Tax Year 2022, passthrough entities (fiduciaries, partnerships, and S corporations) with 10 or more owners are required to file income tax returns, and pay tax, electronically. Starting for TY2022, individual income tax returns can be electronically filed for nonresident aliens who file using federal Form 1040-NR. Previously, rule FND1-000 rejected electronic returns with federal Form 1040-NR. Since nonresident aliens are nonresidents of North Dakota, FND1-000 is being updated to only reject these returns if Schedule ND-1NR is not included. Recent updates have been made to the following business rules which will impact returns filed for TY2022: FND1-000, R0000-001, FND1-014, FND1-015, and F40-007. The previously active rules are being deactivated: FSCHK-011, FSCK-012, FSCHK-013, F38TC- 001, F38TC-002, and F38TC-003. Please see the attached Appendix A for the current list of active MeF business rules. The North Dakota Tax Relief Credit remains in place for TY2022. The credit amount of $700 for Married Filing Joint returns, and $350 for all other filing statuses, is available for all Full-Year North Dakota residents. Please note, the $350 credit calculation includes situations where one spouse on a MFJ return is a full-year North Dakota resident, and the other spouse is not. Software developers are encouraged to implement diagnostics to properly calculate the credit based on the filing status of the taxpayers. Our offices have seen a recent increase in the number of returns claiming the Military Retirement Pay Exclusion (ND-1, Line 14), where the e-file submission contains no 10990-R information. No business reject rules are currently being implemented in relation to this issue, but we ask that software developers make use of alerts and limit override capabilities related to the Military Retirement Pay Exclusion. If claiming the exclusion, the information of a related 1099-R should be included with the return. There has been a recent uptick in filers trying to claim Schedule ND-1PSC (Nonprofit Private School) and Schedule ND-1QEC (Qualified Endowment Fund) Tax Credits, that are unable to because the forms are not supported by software. While not required for approval, we encourage developers to consider beginning support for these forms. 2 |

Taxpayers may still take the credits associated with these schedules, and attach a PDF of the schedule to the submission. To avoid delays in processing returns, these forms should be included when the return is submitted. If we do not have the required documentation, we may disallow the credit, or send a request for additional information. Corporation, S-Corporation, Partnership, Fiduciary Schedule ME Schedule QEC PDF Attachments North Dakota MeF infrastructure provides the ability for the taxpayer or tax preparer to include a PDF attachment with the e-filed return. This functionality should be used to provide supporting documentation for amounts claimed on the return for which there is no place to enter the data. For TY2022, all professional software products must provide the ability to attach PDFs. Suggested uses for PDF attachments: Attaching forms or schedules not supported by MeF. Other states’ tax returns to support the credit for tax paid to another state. Military Title 10 orders to support the National Guard/Reserve member income exclusion. Documentation to support any other addition, deduction, or tax credit claimed on the form. *Note: North Dakota does not require any attachments for electronic returns, attaching supporting documentation as noted in the instructions will avoid delays in processing the return and reduce the chance of our office having to request additional information from the taxpayer. 5 |

This allows us to easily identify the software used to prepare and submit the return. We will reject the returns if a number other than your NACTP vendor ID is used. If you are not registered with NACTP, please use this link to complete the process: www.nactp.org Send data elements only if they contain values, unless the fields are required.

You must receive a software approval e-mail from the Office of State Tax Commissioner prior to releasing your software. Software vendors can self-test their software be sending additional returns through the system. Unless we receive an email with the required elements as noted above, we will not review these returns. Acknowledgement System The North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner will generate an acknowledgement of acceptance or rejection for all returns received. The acknowledgement record is created using standards agreed upon by the IRS, state agencies, transmitters, and software developers. Allow two days to receive the acknowledgment from North Dakota. North Dakota will reject returns missing required schedules or having mismatched data. Appendix A contains a complete list of business rules and associated reject codes. Returns may be corrected and re-transmitted as long as the MeF and the software product being used supports the missing schedule or form. Per the IRS perfection period – Returns which have been rejected have a 5-day period, 10 days for business returns, to be corrected and resubmitted, and still be considered timely. For extensions, there is a 5-day perfection period for all tax types. Signature Requirements The IRS obtains the taxpayer’s signature by requiring the taxpayer to select a PIN (Federal Form 8879). North Dakota recognizes the federal PIN as the signature for the North Dakota return. If the return must be submitted as an unlinked (state only) return, a self-selected PIN may be used.
