Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need an IRIS TCC, ID.me account, or IRS setup?No. You do not need your own IRIS Transmitter Control Code, ID.me account, or IRS e-filing setup. We transmit Form 1098-F through our IRIS A2A channel, so you do not have to register with the IRS, complete IRIS setup, or manage the transmission process yourself.
Yes. We create the required IRS XML file for Form 1098-F and validate the file before transmission. This helps identify formatting issues, missing fields, or other data problems before the filing is submitted.
Yes. We can file original Form 1098-F returns and corrected returns. Corrections can be prepared when filer information, recipient information, amounts, or other reported details need to be changed after filing.
Our service is designed for filers with multiple records or large filing volumes. You can send us your data and we handle XML creation, validation, PDF generation, and IRS transmission.
If your data contains missing or invalid information, we can help identify the issue before filing. Some errors may prevent a file from being accepted, while others may result in an IRS status such as accepted with errors.
1099FIRE previously sold 1099-MISC software for the IRS FIRE System, where users could generate a file and upload it through the IRS website. IRIS is different. For 1099-MISC filing, there is no simple IRS upload screen where users can browse for a file and submit it themselves. IRIS transmissions must be sent through a secure A2A channel.
Because the A2A connection cannot be packaged as normal downloadable software, we now provide a 1099-MISC e-filing service instead. Upload your Excel file to our secure portal. Your data is checked as you upload, you approve PDF copies, and we create the IRS file and e-file it through IRIS for you.
