FATCA XML Schema v2.0 User Guide Draft Updated! XML Schema and Samples Files   1.  FATCA XML Schema v2.0 User Guide *Draft* Now Available The FATCA XML Schema v2.0 User Guide Draft (Publication 5124) is now available. It provides updated business rules and technical information for creating FATCA Reports based on the FATCA XML schema.  Beginning January 2017, the FATCA XML Schema v1.1 will no longer be supported and will be replaced by v2.0. All International Data Exchange Service (IDES) users will be required to submit FATCA Reports using v2.0 on this date. Back to top 2.  Updated FATCA XML Schema V2.0 and Samples Files The FATCA XML Schema v2.0 and FATCA Report samples have been updated with minor changes. We recommend comparing the schema version 2.0 with the schema v1.1 using a comparison tool, such as WinDiff or WinMerge to note the differences. The schema is subject to change and is not intended for use in production until January 2017. For the latest FATCA information, please sign up to attend the FATCA Global IT Forum hosted by the IRS.
