Hello,

After importing data from a csv file, and exporting the data to XML I try to validate the data with your tool, but I am getting two errors that I cannot fix.

I am exporting the 1095C files.

First Error:
ERROR (Line 26): The 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:ty18:Form1095CAttachedCnt' element is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:ty18:TotalNumberType' - The Pattern constraint failed.

XML (Line 26): "<"Form1095CAttachedCnt /">"
I believe this line should be: "<"Form1095CAttachedCnt">"xxx"<"/Form1095CAttachedCnt">"

Second Error:
ERROR (Line 9339): The element 'ForeignAddressGrp' in namespace 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:ty18' has invalid child element 'CountryNm' in namespace 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:common'. List of possible elements expected: 'CountryCd, CountryNm' in namespace 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:ty18'.

XML (Line 9339): "<"irs:CountryNm">"Mexico"<"/irs:CountryNm">"
If I remove the 'irs:' from the tag, then it validates, however if I make a change to the 1094C_Request file then I have to do a checksum and update the header. I would prefer for the system to generate a correct Request file.

Please contact at your earliest convenience

Thank you,
Aaron
