Costpoint now provides the ability to generate manifest and data files that comply with the latest tax year 2021 schema for the UI transmission channel. This release applies the following updates for the Create 1094-C and 1095-C Electronic File screen to support the latest federal requirements:

• A new record with the software ID for tax year 2021 (Software ID: 21A0012967) and Costpoint contact information (same as 2020 data) was added to the system table S_SOFTWARE_ID.

• When you select the Federal option as the Government Agency, the application will use the following to generate manifest and data files for tax year 2021:

• Manifest file from tax year 2021 schema package

• Form data file from tax year 2021 schema package

• “2021” as the PaymentYr value

• “0” as the PriorYearDataInd value

• Software Id for 2021

• The year in the namespaces of both manifest and data files was updated from “ty20” to “ty21” for tax year 2021.

• Since the form data file cannot exceed 100MB, the submission will be split into two or more transmissions if the form data file is larger than 100 MB.

Import Master Data was updated as follows:

• The incidental rate was changed from 3.00 to 5.00 dollars. As part of this change, a new Incidental Amount column was added. For CONUS (S_SOURCE_CD  = ‘C’), the incidental amount will be 3.00 if the date is earlier than October 1, 2009, but if it is during or later than that date, the incidental amount will be 5.00

• A Meal Amount (MEAL_AMT) column was also added. The amount that displays in the column equals the difference between the Incidental Amount (INCIDENTAL_AMT) value and the Incidental Meals Amount (MEALS_INCIDENTAL_AMT) value.

For example, if the MEALS_INCIDENTAL_AMT column displays 45 and the INCIDENTAL_AMT column displays 3, the MEAL_AMT column displays 42.

Note that the above calculation is true for both CONUS and OCONUS, except that for OCONUS (S_SOURCE_CD = ‘O’ or ‘U’), the incidental amount is derived (INCIDENTAL_AMT) from the MEAL_INCIDENTAL_BREAKDOWN.INCIDENTAL_AMT (MIB) table.
