EFAST2

Department of Labor's electronic filing system for Form 5500-series returns.

Definition

EFAST2 (ERISA Filing Acceptance System II) is the DOL portal used to electronically transmit Form 5500, 5500-SF, and 5500-EZ returns. Filers register through Login.gov, obtain UserID and PIN, and either use IFILE (the free DOL web-based filer) or an EFAST2-approved third-party software. Solo 5500 Desk does not transmit through EFAST2.
