Create

The Request Payload has manifest data (describes the Tax Form Type, Tax Year, etc.), business information, and data required to create the tax return. The CREATE endpoint takes in the Request Payload, validates data, applies the business rules, and creates the appropriate tax return. A unique Id called “Submission ID” is created and passed back to the sender when a tax return is created. A “Submission” is used to refer to the transaction between the client and the API server. The API will create a Unique ID for the business data if the EIN (Employer Identification Number) is not in the database. Any subsequent API calls can use the Business ID instead of sending the complete business data every time. Another Unique ID called “Record Id” is created to identify the records inside the submission.When the “Form W2 Create” endpoint is called, that many number of Record Ids are created for each employee record inside the single submission. Of course, one Submission Id is created for the entire transaction.
