Subject: Urgent Update to Modernized e-file (MeF) Form 94x Business Returns Schema and Business Rules


Attention: Software Developers, Return Transmitters and Authorized IRS e-file Providers/EROs

Urgent Update:

  • Form 940, 943, 944, 945: Schema 2023v3.0 was available as of June 16, 2024, therefore, 2023v2.0 is no longer available. Please file 94X Annual returns using the Schema version 2023v3.0. 

Example: "IRS940", "IRS943", "IRS944" and "IRS945"

Note 1: The Assurance Testing System (ATS) environment opened June 2, 2024, for testing. While it is not required, it is highly encouraged that you submit ATS scenarios. 

Note 2: If only minor changes occur, Software Developers are not required to use the new version. If the major number changes, all software must reflect the new version.

Please visit the Modernized e-file (MeF) Schemas and Business Rules page on IRS.gov for more information about Schemas and Business Rules.

Software Developers and State organizations may download Schemas and Business Rules from their e-Services mailbox. To access these files, the following is needed:
