eNC3 File Format Specifications

To file using the Web File Upload option, your business must have internet access and the ability to create fixed field text files (.txt) containing NC-3 and W-2 information as well as eXtensible Markup Language files (.xml) 1099/W2-G/1042-S information using the required file specifications mandated by the IRS, SSA, and NCDOR. Creating TXT or XML files requires specific software or help from a software developer. Converting a PDF to a TXT will not generate a file in the correct layout.
