You will want to complete the Connectivity Questions and the Contracts
Module (if you have a contract) in the appropriate places in EPC before
beginning your Form 471. While you can do so when you get to these sections
of your form, the system will force you to leave your form in progress and
navigate to a different section within your EPC profile. It is much easier
to complete them up front and not get lost!
There may be circumstances where you do not have to make changes to these
areas.
*Connectivity Questions *
- If you filed a Form 471 in FY2016:
- Your connectivity responses will remain in EPC and display in your
FY2017 form
- Unless you want to change your responses, you do not need to
complete them again
- If FY2017 is the first year you are filing a Form 471 in EPC:
- You must complete these questions before you can submit your form
(it is easier if you do this before beginning your form)
*Contracts Module *
- If you are signing a *new* contract for FY2017:
- You must add a record for it in the Contracts Module before you can
reference the contract in your form (it is easier if you do this before
beginning your form)
- If you have an *existing* multi-year contract in place for which you
created a contract record in FY2016 *and* the contract extends through
FY2017:
- You do not need to add another record
- Simply refer to the existing saved contract record in your FY2017
form
- Be sure to enter the correct FY2017 service start date (probably
7/1/2017) when prompted in the form
- If you have an *existing* multi-year contract in place for which you
created a contract record in FY2016 *and* the contract extends through
FY2017 *and* it was amended (for example if you exercised a voluntary
extension):
- The same guidance applies - simply refer to the existing saved
contract record in your FY2017 form
- Be sure to enter the correct FY2017 service start date (probably
7/1/2017) and if necessary update the date the contract expires when
prompted in the form
- Be prepared to provide the amendment to your PIA reviewer
