New Electronic Filing Mandate

IRS mandates electronic filing of 10 or more information returns. The new threshold is effective for information returns beginning tax year 2023. FIRE TCC holders who submitted their TCC application prior to September 26, 2021, must complete and submit a new application and verify their identity through ID.me, an IRS provider of sign-in services.

You can only paper file information returns to the IRS if you have 10 or fewer aggregate returns to file. If you have more than 10 information returns of any one type (such as Forms 1099, W-2, or 1098), the IRS mandates electronic filing instead of paper filing.

More companies are moving to third party efiling solutions due to this new threshold and efiling requirements. Contact 1099FIRE at (480) 706-6474 for more information on outsourcing solution.

Original, Corrections, Prior Years

Not a problem. Our software and outsourcing services are capable of meeting your needs. Print and electronically file originals or corrections for current or prior tax years.

About IRS Form 1097-BTC

Form 1097-BTC is used for specific types of tax credit bonds authorized by the federal government to encourage public projects or other qualifying initiatives. These bonds typically provide federal tax incentives to bondholders. Each of these bonds is issued to fund specific types of public works or energy conservation projects, and the tax credits associated with them can significantly reduce a bondholder's tax burden.

Who Receives Form 1097-BTC: Bondholders or recipients of tax credits associated with certain bonds receive the form. This can include individual taxpayers, corporations, or government entities that hold qualifying bonds. The recipients use the credits reported on the form to offset their federal income tax liability.

Who Sends Form 1097-BTC: Issuers of tax credit bonds (typically governmental entities or other authorized entities) are responsible for sending Form 1097-BTC.

Purpose: The purpose of IRS Form 1097-BTC is to report tax credits related to certain tax credit bonds. Issuers of these bonds use the form to inform both the IRS and bondholders about the tax credits bondholders can claim on their federal income taxes. Instead of receiving regular interest payments, bondholders may receive tax credits that reduce their tax liability or provide a refundable credit.

Due Dates: Issuers of certain tax credit bonds (or their agents) and nominees/intermediaries must report quarterly and file with the IRS annually a separate Form 1097-BTC for each tax credit distributed. Issuers must provide Form 1097-BTC to bondholders by January 31 of the year following the tax year. Issuers must file the form electronically with the IRS by March 31.
