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.
Originals, 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.
