New Query’s for 1095-B and 1095-C

  • AIR Waiting – records that have been filed but the AIR ACK1095…XML acknowledgement file has not been imported.
  • AIR Accepted – records that were accepted without errors by AIR
  • AIR Error – records that AIR identified as having an error that should be corrected
  • AIR Rejected – records that were submitted but AIR rejected the entire submission
  • CI SSN Lookup – a way to find a form with a particular Covered Individual using the SSN (without dashes)
  • Receipt ID Lookup – find an AIR Receipt ID e.g. 1095C-16-00012345 


New Logging Capabilities:

When generating your 1095/1094 XML if your data has fatal errors and fails schema validation then you’ll receive a pop up saying the XML file was not generated.   In your log folder you will find a file named MagACALog.txt or similar which has details when generating the XML.

Open the log in a text editor and search for (ERROR) during the time period when you were generating your file.   Errors such as a missing Address, City or State will result in AIR rejecting your file.  Below is a sample error showing the date & time and then the ERROR where the Responsible Individual is missing the city.   F94 refers to the Filer ID and U96 refers to the unique TaxRecordID.  Filer ID and TaxRecID can be looked up at the Filers screen & the Browse, Enter & Edit screen respectively
 

[2016-05-23 16:44:54.738] //      (ERROR)   * Responsible Individual (US) address city is empty, but is required ("" -> null) (T1 S2 R2 F94 U96)

Note when you look at a record the record #, Pcode and Receipt ID if available is displayed in the ribbon at the top of the form.
