     Step 2: Upload the Communications Test Files on the IRS AIR Website
     Step 3: Check the Transmission Status of the Communications Test Files on the IRS AIR
     Website
     Step 4: Call the IRS Help Desk to Update the Form Status from Testing to Production

Prior to being able to submit your 1094/1095C file, you will be required to submit a
Communications Test File to the IRS. A Test File is required if this is your first time
submitting your forms electronically. If a new person is submitting the 1094/1095C file and
they were added as a contact to the existing TCC Code a new Communications Test should
not be required. It is important to ensure the IRS has updated their system prior to
submitting Production Files. Additionally, if your site has a new TCC code a new
Communications Test File will need to be sent to the IRS.

The IRS processing steps listed below are an adaptation based on information found in
Publication 5164 located on the IRS Forms & Publications page.

Step 1: Create/Save the Communications Test Files in Skyward PaC

From PaC, navigate to Human Resources > Payroll > Year End.

will receive a phone call back from the IRS telling you that everything has passed and your
status has changed from Testing to Production. This completes the Communications Test
process.

Once you have been moved from Testing to Production, you must wait a minimum of 48
hours before submitting an actual data file.

       Create 1095C (or Recreate 1095C if you have already created the workfile). This
       creation process uses the same programming as what was found in Transmission 1.

    6. You will not be able to add employees to the workfile who were included in the
       Transmission 1 workfile. This option is used for creating a second “original” file when
       employees were omitted from the first file who should have been reported.

    7. If you clicked “Yes” to the Step 2 message to indicate you are generating a Corrected
       file, you will see at the top of the screen that the Type is “Corrected”.

    8. When you are processing a Corrected file, you will only have the option to Modify the
       current workfile. Corrected files are used only for making changes to records that
       were submitted during the previous transmission.

    9. Go into the Modify Current 1095C Workfile option and at the top you will see the new
       Transmission number and the Type “Corrected”. The workfile will be blank to begin.
          a. If you received a file from the IRS containing the records that need to be
              corrected, use the Import > Import IRS XML file option to bring the data into
              the work file. **This file is found on the IRS AIR site when you “Check
              Transmission Status”. Below the list of errors is a Download button. Click this
              button and download the file from there. It should save as an .XML extension.

             b. The option to Import previous transmission will be used in the event that a
                previous transmission file was accepted by the IRS AIR, but you found errors
                that you want to correct (i.e., entered incorrect data on all employees).

    10. After the file is imported, a report will generate showing the names and SSNs of the
        employees found and built into the workfile. Additional pages of the report will show
        what the errors were for each individual.

         Once the workfile is built from your Import file, the “Corrected” box at the top of the
         screen will be checked. The employee record number and error information will
         display in the bottom left corner of the screen. In this example, the employee error
         shows “Invalid SSN”.

    12. Navigate back to the 1094/1095C processing area and go into Step 2 > Modify
        Current Workfile. On the right side of the screen, you will see a Sync button. This
        option works similar to an extraction. It is used to update an individual employee or
        many employees at once by going out to the Profile and pulling in and updating the
        data for the selected employee(s). To correct a single employee, highlight the
        employee, click Sync, and choose the Sync Selected Employee option.

    13. A message will display stating that the process is going to remove the employee’s

    If you find that you need/want to manually add employees to the workfile, you can use
    the Add button. A search browse appears for entering the employee’s name.

    21. When you are highlighted on an employee and select the View button, you can see
        that the employee’s “Corrected” box is checked. You can also see the original record
        identifier, which includes the original receipt ID from where the employee was
        previously submitted, along with the transmission number and their individual record
        number from that transmission.

    23. The Transmission Type shows “Corrected” and this is not editable. The screen also
        shows your TCC code. This auto-populates based on the TCC code entered in Step 1.

    24. If you were to go back to your previous Transmission and select Step 5a, you can
        see that the transmission is shown as “Locked” (which means that it cannot be
        edited).

    25. Once a Transmission has been locked, you are able to confirm that it has been
        locked and by whom by navigating to Step 2 and clicking on the File Tracker option.

    26. Despite the Transmission being locked, you can still edit the Transmission Receipt
        ID. This will only be done in the instance that it was entered incorrectly. This value
        must match exactly what was provided by the IRS so that when the correction file is
        submitted, all records can be matched up accordingly.

    27. When a Transmission is locked, if you navigate into Step 5 and try to create the
        electronic submission file, you will receive a message indicated that the workfile is
        locked and can no longer be created.

        file. To update those employees, it is recommended that you go to Employee Profile
        and make the appropriate changes. When you come back to Step 2, there is a Sync
        option which allows you to update the employee data in the workfile to match what
        is found in Profile.

         This can be done per individual by highlighting on the employee, clicking the Sync
