Create a tax form

Gateway module

POST/tax-formstaxForms.create

A tax form. Restricted and encrypted; only the last four digits of the identifier are ever displayed. Creates a tax form. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. The organization is derived from the credential or the parent row, never from the body.

  • Requires the capability me.work_details.write.
  • OAuth scopes: me.
  • Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
  • Error statuses: 400, 401, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
