               2024 Tax Software Provider NCDOR Letter of Intent 
 
The North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR) Letter of Intent (LOI) must be completed annually prior to your 
participation in Modernized e-File (MeF) Assurance Testing System (ATS) and/or substitute tax forms approval testing 
with the NCDOR.  Software providers and payroll service providers (Provider or Providers) that want to include North 
Carolina tax forms in their tax preparation software for electronic and/or paper filing, must obtain approval from the 
NCDOR. To do so you must complete this LOI to be able to view and/or download the required information needed for 
testing and approval. Test Submissions for electronic and/or paper forms will not be reviewed until the LOI has been 
received and approved. 
 
Submission 
 •     Completed LOIs should be emailed to AllAboutForms@ncdor.gov as web-filled PDFs.  
 •     By submitting this LOI to the NCDOR you agree to meet our standards for software provider registration, tax 
       preparation software, and substitute forms.  If you do not meet the standards and requirements explained in 
       this LOI or provide an incomplete form, we may deny your application or revoke your approved Provider status 
       and reject all electronic and/or paper returns submitted using your products.  
 •     An LOI should be submitted for each product unless multiple products share the same calculation engine.  In this 
       case, one LOI can be submitted for all products that share the same calculation engine. 
 
Note:  If you are a new Provider who has not filed city/state income tax returns with any city or state agencies, you must 
have passed assurance testing with the IRS.  Attach documentation from the IRS demonstrating you have successfully 
tested with the IRS.

          public about software products that comply or failed to comply with NCDOR guidelines and requirements

delay the review of your test returns.  If additional space is needed, please attach additional page(s).  If there are 
additional limitations after completing the LOI, please provide them to NCTaxEfile@ncdor.gov before you begin ATS 
testing.   

Software Exceptions

product does not support the same schedules as a professional product.  Failure to provide this information could delay 
the review of your test systems.

differences as well. 

System Security Requirements 
The NCDOR does not prescribe the security requirements for your system.  You are responsible for implementing

taxpayers to the NCDOR ’sFile and Pay webpage    (ncdor.gov/file-pay) for the applicable payment forms. The QR code 
should not be placed on vouchers and/or forms. The links for the QR Code will be available in the SES.
