1099FIRE previously sold W-2G software for the IRS FIRE System, where users could generate a file and upload it through the IRS website. IRIS is different. For W-2G 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 W-2G 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.
