I don't understand XML, Schema and other similar technical words. Can I still use this service?

ABSOLUTELY! You don't need to understand XML/Schema or learn anything new. We are the technical bridge between the data you have in your custom format and the XML data that IRS expects.

How much time and effort will it save me and my organization?

What if I am not satisfied with your service?

We are 100% sure that you will be satisfied. If for whatever reason you are not, WE WILL REFUND YOU 100% of your money.

Where do I find the instructions on how to upload the document on the IRS website?

Can I verify the data before final submission to the IRS?

YES, you can verify the data before the final submission to the IRS on their website. We strongly recommend you to do so.

How do you help us with our data entry on to the IRS website? What do we need to provide you? What will we receive?

You provide us with your custom spreadsheet(or from any other software you use). We convert the whole data into JUST ONE XML file that you can upload on the IRS website.

What is the minimum limit on the number of entries that we may have? What is the maximum limit?

There is NO mimimum or maximum limit on the number of entries that you may have.

I don't have too many entries, will I still be charged the same as the organizations with a very large number of entries?

NO, we offer you a cutom quote based on the number of entries and the complexity involved in converting your custom data.

Do you have a standard spreadsheet format that you suggest us for us to track our expenditure/contribution entries? What is the benefit by doing so?

YES, we can suggest you a standard spreadsheet format (based on our analysis with the data across multiple organizations). If you follow the standard format, you will get a better quote for your conversion (we pass the savings on to you).
