Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) Annual Return: Shareholder, member, and partner information upload

Our upload process allows you to report shareholder, member, or partner information quickly and easily. These instructions explain how it works.

Comma delimited file: This file type separates fields with alphanumeric information by the comma character (,). Insert a comma between each shareholder, member, and partner record (column entry) to separate fields. Fields can vary in length but can’t exceed the maximum characters listed below.

The file must be in either .txt or .csv format. If you don't know how to format your file, see the help function on the software product you are using for instructions.

The file must include the following fields:

  • Enter a Y or N to indicate if the Shareholder, member, or partner is a disregarded entity.
  • Enter a 9-character ID of the disregarded entity if Y was entered into the first field and the disregarded entity has received an EIN. Otherwise, leave this field blank.
