Features of the Magnetic Media Filing system

The system uses eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as the standard record format.

The system will:

• process information returns filed on diskette, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM in XML format;
• process amended slips filed on diskette, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM in XML format;
• accept correct returns within a submission and reject those that are missing information or that contain incorrect information; and
• accept multiple form types within the same submission.
