How Our IRIS Filing Service Works

1099FIRE has developed and successfully tested an IRIS Application-to-Application channel, commonly called an A2A channel. This allows our filing system to communicate directly with the IRS and transmit large volumes of information returns without manually uploading small files through the IRS website.

Using IRIS A2A requires more than installing a downloadable software program. A transmitter must obtain an IRIS Transmitter Control Code, receive an API Client ID, develop software that follows IRS specifications, and successfully complete IRS assurance testing. After testing is completed, the transmitter may begin sending production files.

Rather than requiring every client to establish a separate IRS connection, 1099FIRE uses its tested A2A channel to transmit returns for its clients. The IRS specifically permits a transmitter to use one TCC to file information returns for multiple businesses.

The filing process is straightforward. You provide your information-return data to 1099FIRE. We review and prepare the data, create the required IRIS transmission, and submit it securely to the IRS. We then retrieve the IRS acknowledgment and determine whether the transmission was accepted or whether additional action is required.

Our service can handle original returns, corrections, and replacement transmissions. We can also assist with eligible prior-year filings and provide optional printing and mailing of recipient copies.
