Filing identity and trust states
What exactly was filed?
Document identity
Taxpayer/document assertion, period, filing type, selected revision and exact digest.
Submission state
Recorded submission/finalization time and supporting-document references.
Later relationship
Amended, superseded or derived states remain explicitly linked.
Retained verification
A recipient can check whether the final retained bytes still match.
Four questions, four answers
- Integrity: do these bytes match the sealed record?
- Authority acceptance: did the authority acknowledge or accept the submission? UD does not answer this without external evidence.
- Tax correctness: are the amounts and positions correct? A valid UDS does not prove this.
- Legal sufficiency: does the record satisfy applicable law? That requires legal and jurisdictional analysis.
