The first thing to do is register with the IRD, by going to their website at http://www.ird.govt.nz
For clarity we have circled the relevant link on the IRD website yellow.
Setting up an account there results in the IRD mailing you a password to access IR-File.
From this IRD screen you also login to IR-File in future months.
Set up Ace Payroll for IR-File
Go to Reports / Monthly Returns / Monthly Schedule IR348.
Choose the month to report and click GO.
Click Electronic Filing and then
Setup.
The following screen is shown:
The only fields you must complete are the IRD number, the Payroll Contact Person, and the Work Phone Number. These details appear in the file you send the IRD.
You can also choose where the file is saved and its name, but this is not normally necessary.
You are now set up for IR-File.
From here we suggest reading our IR-File Made Simple document which covers the monthly procedure.
