I've posted this previously, but it doesn't hurt to repost it. There is no schema for include Form 8915-F for Efile tax year 2021. The IRS never made one. That's why it is either a data stream (simulating the form schema) or a pdf attachment. Here is what I see per IRS, gathered from three IRS resources:
| MeF will accept Form 8915-F as PDF only. |
As of 12/8/2021.
For the Known Issues & Solutions file, this is what the IRS provides dated 12/9/2021:
| Schema will be developed for Tax year 2022/Processing Year 2023 |
| MeF will accept a 'GeneralDependencyMedium' that includes all the information requested on Form 8915-F for tax year 2021 if the software developer cannot attach a PDF. "Form8915F" must be used for the element name 'Desc' when including Form 8915-F as a 'GeneralDependencyMedium'. |
| Form 8915-F, Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments, will be accepted in MeF as a PDF attachment for tax year 2021. “Form8915F” must be used as the binary attachment description when including Form 8915-F as a PDF attachment. |
Here is the required filename and extension:
| Form8915F.pdf |
Here is the required Description:
| Form 8915-F (must be the beginning of the Description) |
This is all in tables (boxes) because it is copied directly from IRS Excel listings.
Hope that helps.
