After you have selected the file type, the next step is describing the fields in your file using the File Layout Screen. This is a brief overview of the File Layout to help you become more familiar with the information needed to file. More detailed instructions are available on the File Layout Screen when you file your taxes.

Overview of A-1/A-6 Bulk File Layout
On the File Layout Screen, there are numbers on the left side of the form to reorder the field based on your file (you can use any numbers you want - the fields will be automatically renumbered when you hit the refresh button). For example, if the account number is the 9th field in your file you will put 9 in the box. When using a fixed-length file, specify the length of each field in your file. For numbers, if there is an implied decimal, specify how many decimal places are implied. If your file has fields that are not mentioned in this data layout, you can add a filler field in its place by checking the ADD FILLER Box and entering the Position of the field. These fields will be ignored when your file is processed.
