Is 1099IRIS the Right Fit for my Business?
1099IRIS takes the complexity out of IRS information return filing. We simplify the transition from FIRE to IRIS with secure technology, expert guidance, and personalized support from real people, helping you file accurately and confidently year after year.
Option 1:
File Directly Through the IRS
Filing directly through IRIS gives you complete control over the process, but it also requires additional setup, technical preparation, and ongoing management. Before you can file, you'll need to complete several steps.
Apply for a New IRIS TCC
Every organization filing directly through IRIS must obtain a new Transmitter Control Code (TCC). Your existing FIRE TCC cannot be used with IRIS, and IRS approval can take up to 45 days, so it's important to plan ahead.
Choose Your Filing Method
IRIS supports:
- IRIS Portal – A free web-based option for organizations with lower filing volumes (up to 250 records per submission).
- Application-to-Application (A2A) – Designed for organizations that want to submit larger files through software or automated integrations.
Understanding the A2A Option
If you choose the A2A option, you'll need software that supports the IRIS file format and you'll be required to complete IRS testing before you can submit live filings. This option offers greater automation but requires technical expertise and additional implementation time.
Who is this Option Best for?
Organizations with in-house technical resources, established filing processes, and the ability to manage IRS registration, testing, and ongoing compliance internally.
