MeF stylesheets can be used by external stakeholders to display corporate, employment, partnerships, estates & trusts, exempt organizations, excise tax, withholding tax returns, and Individual tax returns. The stylesheets may be used by software developers, states and/or taxpayers to incorporate into their programs as appropriate.

Notes
- TY 2022 Form 990 MeF stylesheets corrected - As of March 11, 2024, we corrected the Form 990 MeF stylesheets for tax year 2022, which displayed tax year 2021 in the heading instead of tax year 2022. This impacted Form 990 and certain associated schedules, not the accuracy of Forms 990 images that appear on Tax Exempt Organization Search.
- The zipped Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) files contain the XSL, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Graphic Interchange Formant (GIF) files (images, JavaScript (JS), and CSS file) used to display the available return families (720, 94x, 990, 1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 2290, 8849, etc.).
- When the 'zip' files are 'unzipped', the user should go with the default saved path names (unless they want to change the path references in CommonPathRef.xsl).
- The XSL file 'populateTemplate.xsl' was modified to be compatible with Microsoft's Extensible Markup Language (XML) parser. The original version of this file is in sub-directory 'OrigVersion'.
