Note: all forms available on the site have a template in which you can upload information.

 Step 6

Enter your payer and recipient information into the labeled columns. 

Line 1 correlates to the box on the actual form and is for your information only

Line 2 is the column name/section name of each part of the form you need to fill out.

Line 4 is a sample of information entered that you can follow.

All your data must be entered on or below line 6. Do not change the name of the tabs

Once finished filling out all the information needed – save the file to your desktop.

 Step 7 

Once you have completed filling out the form return to the Form Import Options page and click on Select File to Import and choose the file you want to use - then select 'Import Data' when it turns blue
