FATCA Reporting via IDES

Submit FATCA reports through the IRS International Data Exchange Service (IDES), using either an Organization Certificate or a TLS/SSL Certificate from IdenTrust.

The certificate type used will be based on your reporting method. Financial Institutions (FIs) and Host Country Tax Authorities (HCTAs) use IDES to securely transmit FATCA data to the IRS through a web-based interface.
