Forms processing is a core function for a tax authority.
Registration forms are used for taxpayer registration and / or taxpayer demographic information updates. These forms are processed in the context of a taxpayer. When a registration form is processed, it usually results in the creation of new taxpayers / accounts / tax roles / obligations or updates to existing taxpayer information - e.g. name / address change.
Tax forms are the most common types of forms. These forms are processed in the context of a filing period. When a tax form is filed, it satisfies an obligation to file and its processing results in an assessment.
Most forms have a common structure. The form consists of one or more sections, with each section containing one or more lines or groups of lines. Processing rules can be associated with any of these components.
As form changes are introduced from year to year, the changes usually entail adding or removing specific sections and / or lines, as well as adding / removing the processing rules associated with them.
Forms can come from one or more sources. They can be interfaced in batch from an external system or created internally.
