What reports are submitted to the Pension Fund?

Currently, organizations are required to submit reports to the Pension Fund in the following forms:

• SZV-M;
• DSV-Z;
• ADV-6-2;
• SPV-1 and others.

In total there are about fifteen different types of reporting. Most entrepreneurs and organizations only need to prepare a few of them. For example, SZV-M and DSV-Z. SZV-M is a monthly form containing information about insured persons working at the enterprise. And for payers of additional contributions, a quarterly form DSV-3 is provided. Depending on the number of employees, reporting can be prepared electronically or in paper form. Since the listed types of documents are submitted most often, errors during preparation usually occur in them.

Check using CheckXML program

The Pension Fund has developed special free programs for checking statements - CheckXML and CheckPFR. When creating them, the developers relied on the Decree of the UPFR dated July 31, 2006 No. 192p “On the forms of documents for individual (personalized) registration in the compulsory pension insurance system and instructions for filling them out.” The essence of the programs is approximately the same. It consists of a format-logical verification of the information provided in the reports. That is, the distribution checks the specified data for compliance with the required format, the presence of typos, and extra characters. For example, the correctness of TIN, SNILS, addresses, compliance of digital data with control numbers, and so on.

Both programs are designed to check reports prepared in xml format. They can check the following files:

• personal data;
• statements of payment of insurance premiums;
• information about length of service and earnings in the forms SZV-6-1, SZV-6-2, SZV-6-3, SZV-4-1, SZV-4-2, ADV-6-3;
• forms for voluntary insurance contributions (DSV-1, DSV-3);
• death certificates;
• applications for exchange and issuance of a duplicate insurance certificate;
• RSV-2, RSV-3;
• SPV-1, SPV-2.

To work with the CheckXML program, you need to perform a simple installation procedure. The current version of the installation file can be downloaded from the official website of the Pension Fund.

After downloading, you need to open the archive and run the file highlighted in the figure below.

The installation will then start. In the first window that appears, you must click the “Next” button.

In the second window, you need to select the location where the program will be installed and click the “Next” button.

After installation is complete, you need to run the second file located in the archive. It stores the address verification library.

Then you need to select the reporting file on your computer and run the scan. After its completion, the result of the check will be displayed on the screen with a proposal to open the protocol.

The log contains more detailed information and explanations of the errors found.

Reporting testing software

“Taxpayer Online” is used for prompt verification of documents. After expert testing, the user receives a detailed report on errors and typos. This allows you to quickly make corrections to your declarations and avoid fines for filing documents with inaccurate data or in an outdated form.

The program examines electronic reporting before sending it to the social security fund, pension fund and tax office. Information control is carried out according to the algorithms current in the Federal Tax Service, Pension Fund and Social Insurance Fund. To obtain an error log, reporting can be generated in any accounting program.

How to check financial statements in the Pension Fund online

You can check the Pension Fund report online without registration using various services available on the network. The principle of their operation is based on the use of the same programs developed by the Pension Fund. The only difference is that they do not need to be downloaded and installed, which means they can be used anywhere.

The most popular is checking the financial statements of the Pension Fund of Russia through Contour Online. To use it, just go to the website https://www.kontur-pf.ru/check, upload files to check and click the “Check” button.

Where to check the Pension Fund report online without registration

The Pension Fund has developed special applications: CheckXML and CheckPFR. The programs are absolutely free and are freely available on the Internet. Download the application on the official website of the Pension Fund. To work, install the program on your work computer.

IMPORTANT!

Checking programs from the Pension Fund of Russia are updated periodically, so be sure to check the application version before starting work. If the program is not updated, errors in reports will remain.

To eliminate systematic monitoring and updating of test programs on your work computer, use online services. For example, “BukhSoft Online”, “Kontur.Extern”, “Taxpayer Online”, “TaxKom” and others.

Correction of identified errors

Once errors are identified, they must be corrected. Otherwise, the Pension Fund will not accept the reports, and this may result in fines. Therefore, it is recommended that verification be carried out before sending documents to the department.

Among the most common errors are various types of typos and blots. For example, unnecessary punctuation marks, incorrect spelling of full name, inconsistency with SNILS, etc. The critical ones are:

• incorrect details;
• incorrect signature;
• incorrect file format.

In such cases, a resubmission of the report will be required. Errors related to the presence of spaces in SNILS and TIN, extra zeros in these codes, as well as hyphens and spaces when writing surnames, must be corrected. If they are found before reporting is submitted, then it is submitted with the code “output”. If errors are discovered after submission, then the corrected report must be submitted with the code “additional”. Also, supplementary reports are submitted if a discrepancy in SNILS and incorrect full names are identified.

There are errors, the correction of which is not mandatory unless other more significant errors are found in the documents. For example, the Pension Fund of Russia can forgive empty fields for recording full name and tax identification number, the use of the letter “ё”, apostrophes, brackets and Latin letters.

We emphasize that if the check fails, most likely the problem lies in the incorrect file format. You can visually determine whether the file meets existing requirements. In particular, its name should look like this:

Pension Fund_[reg. number]_[PFR TO code]_SZV-M_[file generation date]_[GUID].xml

Second stage of declaration verification

In order to know how to check an income tax return, tax officials have made the work of entrepreneurs a little easier. There is a verification method.

At the second stage, an economic analysis is carried out. As a rule, this stage is carried out for reputable companies that have large profits. So small firms can calm down after the first stage.

This analysis is carried out by comparing tax and accounting reports currently and the three previous years. If violations are detected, no fines will be assessed, but an inspection will definitely come to the company.
