8.3.2.4 Saving E-File Acknowledgments from FinCEN

When the BSA E-Filing System Track Status page shows that the submitted file is acknowledged, then you can retrieve an acknowledgment file from the BSA E-Filing System Secure Messaging center. This file is in an XML format. You must save this acknowledgment file and upload it into the OFS CRR application.

An acknowledgment file is not generated when an e-filing is rejected.

To save the acknowledgment file from the BSA E-Filing System, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the BSA E-Filing System.
2. From Secure Messaging, select View Inbox to display a list of acknowledgments.
3. Click the Subject of the required acknowledgment. A BSA E-Filing Secure Message Reply Form displays.
4. Click View/Save Attachment. A window opens to list the acknowledgment (XML) file.
5. Click View/Save to save the XML file to your computer.
