After January 1, 2027, the <strong>Information Returns Intake System (IRIS)<\/strong> will handle affected electronic filings, including current-year returns, prior-year returns, and corrections. This change applies to information returns such as <strong>Forms 1099<\/strong> filed through FIRE and does <strong>not<\/strong> affect how individuals file their annual <strong>Form 1040<\/strong> income tax return.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_FIRE\"><\/span>What is FIRE?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIRE stands for Filing Information Returns Electronically.<\/strong> It is an IRS electronic filing system that has been used for many years to receive information returns such as Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, 1042-S, and W-2G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIRE is mainly used by businesses, tax professionals, payroll providers, and other organizations that need to send information returns electronically to the IRS. Unlike a typical online form where you enter information directly on a website, FIRE generally requires filers to prepare their return data using compatible software and transmit it to the IRS in the required file format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, when a business pays an independent contractor and needs to report that payment on Form 1099-NEC, the business or its tax professional may use an electronic filing service that submits the information to the IRS through FIRE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_IRIS\"><\/span>What is IRIS?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>IRIS stands for Information Returns Intake System.<\/strong> It is the IRS&#8217;s newer electronic filing system designed to modernize how businesses, tax professionals, and other filers submit information returns to the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IRIS provides more flexible ways to file. Smaller businesses can use the <strong>IRIS Taxpayer Portal<\/strong> to enter return information online or upload data using a CSV file, while organizations and software providers handling larger volumes can transmit returns through the <strong>IRIS Application-to-Application (A2A)<\/strong> channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IRIS can also be used for functions such as filing information returns, submitting corrections, and requesting automatic extensions. Beginning with the <strong>2027 filing season for tax year 2026 returns<\/strong>, IRIS will become the IRS&#8217;s only intake system replacing FIRE for the affected information returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_Actually_Changing_FIRE_vs_IRIS\"><\/span>What&#8217;s Actually Changing: FIRE vs IRIS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">What You Need to Know<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">FIRE (retiring)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">IRIS (replacement)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Status after Nov 19, 2026<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Stops accepting submissions<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sole system for all information returns<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>File Format<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">ASCII (Publication 1220 format)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">XML<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Access<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">FIRE TCC (does not transfer)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">New IRIS TCC required<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Filing Channels<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Bulk file upload only<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">IRIS Taxpayer Portal (manual or CSV upload) or Application-to-Application (A2A) for bulk transmitters<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Error Checking<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Limited, after submission<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Real-time validation of TIN and name<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Confirmation Speed<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Batch-based, slower<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">As fast as 48 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Corrections &amp; Extensions<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Supported, but the system is closing<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Supported directly in the portal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Forms Covered<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1099 series, 1098 series, W-2G, 1042-S, 5498, 3921\/3922, and more<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Same forms, all now unified under one platform<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_This_Mean_for_Your_1099_Filing\"><\/span>What Does This Mean for Your 1099 Filing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your next step depends on how you currently file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You File Directly Through FIRE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to prepare to use IRIS.
