INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE TRADING PARTNER AGREEMENT
General
Each Taxpayer must complete a Trading Partner Agreement (TPA) in order to file tax forms electronically to the BOE. Applicants must agree
to follow all requirements and specifications in the E-Filing Guide.
Purpose
The purpose of the TPA is to:
• Identify the Information Provider;
• Identify the tax forms to be filed electronically;
• Identify the electronic filing formats to be used for each tax form to be filed electronically;
• Identify the Application Sender’s Code (for EDI filing formats only);
• Identify the accounts to be filed electronically;
• Outline the terms and standards for electronic filing; and
• Identify the authorized signer for the electronic filing.
In addition, completion of the TPA is the process used to convey the necessary information to facilitate electronic exchange of information. It
will ensure the accuracy of the entity information by comparing the E-Filing entity data with the information in the BOE’s databases. Once
accepted into the E-Filing Program, the acceptance is valid until terminated by the BOE.
