Filer - Data Model
A Filer is the legal entity responsible for information reporting and tax form filing. The Filer page is the single place to manage all details required for tax form generation.
You can create a filer with just a name, but forms will not generate until the fields required for your specific regime or form type are completed. This guide shows the filer fields that may be required across supported reporting workflows so you can complete what is relevant to your organization.
Please note: If your organization uses multiple filers, ensure the correct Filer ID is assigned during ingestion. Otherwise, forms will reference the default filer.
For more information on the data requirements for a specific form or filing type, please refer to the associated Data Requirements guide found here: Data Requirements - Overview
Please note: For DAC8/CARF reporting, filer setup currently relies on the core filer fields in this guide.

The following fields are the core filer fields used across most reporting workflows. These fields include general filer details, contact information, and common tax identification details that may apply across jurisdictions.
