What is a **1095 e-file**? It is this: http://www.efile1095.com/ ? How does the XML look like? There are many of us that are not from USA and the **e-file** is unknown to us. And how are you data stored? What is your code? Should it be only a web based question/answer/fill details page? What have you done so far? There are may thinks that are not addressed in your post. But unfortunately without knowing (much) more details we are unable to help you in any way. Please update your question and add the specific details. — Julo, Dec 24 '18 at 05:08

Here is sample of using xml linq to create your xml file. You can add IF statements as necessary to skip adding any elements

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string header = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><root xmlns:irs=\"myUrl\"></root>";

            XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(header);
            XElement root = doc.Root;
            XNamespace irs = root.GetNamespaceOfPrefix("irs");

            XElement businessName = new XElement("BusinessNameLine1Txt", "Comp Name");
            root.Add(businessName);

            XElement tinRequest = new XElement(irs + "TINRequestTypeCd");
            root.Add(tinRequest);

            XElement employerEIN = new XElement(irs + "EmployerEIN", "899090900");
            root.Add(employerEIN);

            XElement contactNameGrp = new XElement("ContactNameGrp");
            root.Add(contactNameGrp);

            XElement firstName = new XElement("PersonFirstNm", "First Name Person");
            contactNameGrp.Add(firstName);

            XElement lastName = new XElement("PersonLastNm", "Last Name Person");
            contactNameGrp.Add(lastName);
        }
    }
}
//sample output
//<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
//<root xmlns:irs="myUrl">
//<BusinessName>
//  <BusinessNameLine1Txt>Comp Name</BusinessNameLine1Txt>
//</BusinessName> 
//<irs:TINRequestTypeCd>BUSINESS_TIN</irs:TINRequestTypeCd> 
//<irs:EmployerEIN>899090900</irs:EmployerEIN> 
//<ContactNameGrp>
//  <PersonFirstNm>First Name Person</PersonFirstNm>
//  <PersonLastNm>Last Name Person</PersonLastNm>
//</ContactNameGrp> <ContactPhoneNum>9090909000</ContactPhoneNum>
//</root>
