RequestPDFURLs
This method can be used to retrieve PDFs for single or multiple recipients. The PDF URL will be returned in the response only if it is already generated by us. You can use the SubmissionId or RecordIds to request the pdf URLs.
Note: The PDF URL will be returned in response only after the return is transmitted in the API. This method will not work for Inprogress returns.
How does it work?
-
The first step is to call the Auth method to get the access token. This access token must be supplied in the request header as the 'Bearer' token. Refer to OAuth 2.0 Authentication for more information on JWT authentication and how to integrate with the subsequent requests.
-
The second step is to call the Create call for the particular Form endpoint and then call the Transmit call. Once the return is in Transmitted status, you can call this method to get the PDF.
-
Next, call the [POST] Form1099NECCorrection/RequestPDFURLs endpoint. You will need to supply the following parameters:
-
Access Token in the header as Bearer Token (Generated using TaxBandits OAuth Authentication API)
-
Form reference (SubmissionId or RecordIds) - You can either request all the PDFs for a submission or specify RecordIs (Across submissions) of the forms you need the PDF.
-
TINMaskType - Mention whether you want the TIN (SSN) to be masked in the PDF. Only the last digits of the SSN will be visible and the rest of the digits will be crossed (xxx-xx-1234). The values for this node are,
- Masked
- Unmasked
- Both (Both Masked and Unmasked copies will be returned in the URL)
-

PDF Security
The PDFs contain PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data of the recipients. To make sure that the PII data involved is completely secured, TaxBandits has added additional security to the form PDFs.
The PDF links you get in the Response are encrypted, and you will have to decrypt them before downloading.
