46.2. How Do I E-File My Georgia Report?

E-Filing Your Georgia State Report

Aristotle software has the ability to both generate 100% complete "ready to file" e-files, as well as the ability to transmit those e-files to the state directly from our software! Once the report is generated it can be filed directly from the "Results" screen. This is available for all Georgia reports!

 

How Do I Create the E-File in Campaign Manager?

For proper filing, there are two fields that need to be filled in on the parameters screen before generating the report:

1. Efiling Password: this is for the state-assigned password Georgia has given the committee for filings.

2. Efiling Email: this needs to be populated with the email address the committee registered when signing up for electronic report filing. Using a different email will cause the upload to fail.

 

How Do I Upload the E-File in Campaign Manager?

Once the report is generated, in the "Electronic filing options' section, there are two options:

1.  "Validate" will run the XML efile through the state-hosted validation software, which will then return a message describing any errors or warnings that may prevent proper filing.

2.  "File" will submit the XML into Georgia's system, filing the report. The state will email you a notification of whether the report was rejected or accepted.
