Codes FATCA11-14 are ONLY for testing and should not be used for FATCA reporting. The IRS
will advise when system testing is available and during those periods these codes may be used.
Only one type of data should be contained within any single transmission file.
New Data is used for records being transmitted to the IRS that have not been previously
processed or have been voided.
Corrected Data is used for records being re-transmitted after the IRS has notified the sender of a
problem with the file or underlying data. Corrected Data should ONLY be used when responding
to an IRS request to correct the data. (not used for Decryption, XML or other file-level errors)
Void Data is used to erase previously-filed records when data needs to be re-transmitted. Only
records with the following errors should be voided:
• No Account Holder or Substantial US Owner TIN
• Incorrect Account Holder or Substantial US Owner TIN
• Incorrect Account Holder or Substantial US Owner Name
• Incorrect Account Holder or Substantial US Owner Name and Address
In addition, for certain IGA jurisdictions the following errors would result in a voided record:
• No Individual Account Holder or Substantial US Owner TIN OR Date of Birth
• No Individual Account Holder or Substantial US Owner TIN and Incorrect Date of Birth
The original records should be re-transmitted with code FATCA3 which instructs IRS to void the
original transmission. The revised records should then be transmitted to IRS with code FATCA1
as New Data.
