ValidateForm
An optional API Endpoint to validate a Tax Return. The API Endpoints “CREATE” and “TRANSMIT” also do the same validation functionality. One important difference is that the ValidateForm Endpoint does not require the Tax Return to be created. You can validate the tax data and then call the create or transmit endpoints to create the tax return.
