On March 16, 2026, EDGAR Release 26.1 implemented updates to the EDGAR Filing Website.
With the new release, the SEC introduced the following changes:
- Filing Fee Exhibit Structured Data Switch from Warnings to Suspensions. EDGAR generally will suspend filings rather than issue warnings for incorrect or incomplete structured filing fee-related data for all filers. EDGAR will continue to issue warnings in certain cases.
- The Fee Exhibit Preparation Tool (FEPT) will no longer display "N/A" in table cells when the "Not Applicable" checkbox is selected. For tables marked "Not Applicable," FEPT will create a table displaying populated column and row headers with empty cells.
- The ACH limit for filing fees will change from a maximum of $99,999,999.99 per transaction to $24,999,999.99 per transaction. Filers that need to exceed that limit may make multiple transactions.
- As of March 24, 2025, Form X-17A-5 Part III no longer requires the oath or affirmation to be notarized. The text and checkbox acknowledging notarization of the oath or affirmation have been removed from the submission template for Form X-17A-5 on the EDGAR Filing website. They are no longer required in filer-constructed submissions.
- On October 3, 2025, Forms 13H, 13H-A and 13H-Q modified Item 6 to allow filers to reorder entries as well as add and delete in the middle of the list. The update does not affect the XML technical specifications for Form 13H.
- EDGAR will accept the 2026 versions of the following taxonomies: US-GAAP, US-GAAP-EBP, SRT (published by FASB) and CEF, COUNTRY, CURRENCY, CYD, DEI, ECD, EXCH, FFD, FND, NAICS, OEF, RXP, SBS, SIC, SNJ, SPAC, SRO, STPR, VIP (published by the SEC). For a complete list of supported Standard Taxonomies, please visit sec.gov.
For further details regarding EDGAR Release 26.1, please see the Release Notes on the EDGAR filing website.
These changes will be included in the 6.5a release of the GoFiler Suite.
