IFILE
DOL's free browser-based filer used to submit Form 5500-series returns through EFAST2.
Definition
IFILE is the official DOL web application that lets a sponsor or signer key in Form 5500-EZ, attach schedules, sign electronically, and submit the return through EFAST2. It requires Login.gov credentials and an EFAST2 PIN. Solo 5500 Desk produces a packet that mirrors IFILE field labels, so the user can transcribe and file efficiently.
Why it matters
For IRS Form 5500-EZ, this term helps decide which records, dates, values, or review questions belong in the packet.
How the tool uses it
Solo 5500 treats this as a review signal. The user enters the facts, checks the source-linked explanation, reviews the packet, and files through the official channel when the supported case still fits.
When to check the source
Check the official source when the answer depends on eligibility, late filing relief, official correspondence, valuation, or a fact you cannot verify from your own records.
