1099FIRE previously sold 1099-SB software for the IRS FIRE System, where users could generate a file and upload it through the IRS website. IRIS is different. For 1099-SB 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-SB 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.
