Free in-browser pre-check

ACA e-file pre-check

If you are the payroll or benefits engineer who transmits ACA Information Returns to the IRS AIR system, paste a 1094-C/1095-C XML file and this page tells you, in plain English, what is likely to get rejected and how to fix it. The check runs on your own screen. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere. The paid checks too, but differently: getting every finding means sending your file to our hosted checker with your key, and we do not keep it afterward.

Sample not ready. This is a pre-checker, not a filing agent: the IRS decides. The box below runs 15 checks; it does not validate production AIR files against the official IRS schema.

Check a file in your browser

Copy the XML text of your IRS health-coverage e-file (the 1094-C and 1095-C forms together) into the box, or choose a file. Add your paid key if you have one.

With a key, the file is sent to our hosted checker and you get every finding. Without a key, the check runs here in your browser and nothing is sent.

Paste a file and press Check file to see what it finds.

Passing every check here does not mean the IRS will accept your file. It means these 15 checks did not find a problem. The full open-source tool behind this page runs 46 checks and can validate against the real IRS schema if you add those files yourself.
