NEW! File Your 1099s for FREE on IRIS portal

Finally, the IRS is providing a FREE online portal that you can use to file your 1099s with the IRS and your state. The portal is called IRIS (Information Returns Intake System). In this episode, we will discuss everything you need to know about this portal, including features of the site, how to use it, and which returns the portal will accept.

Steps to Apply for TCC:
2. Click on Sign in to IRIS button under “What you Need”
3. Sign in or create an account to begin the application process
*Note that a responsible official for your company must be the one to initiate and submit the IRIS Application
4. Complete and submit an IRIS Application for Transmitter Control Code (TCC) .
The purpose of the TCC is to identify who you (the transmitter) are. Anyone who files returns electronically is required to have one.
5. Once the application is in Complete status and TCCs have been issued, access the Taxpayer Portal to submit information returns.

Hi, can you make a video showing how to do the filing of 1099 through the IRIS? I thought the system didnt allow data input on forms only file uploads to efile? Please help..
I signed in, I have my TCC and created my username and passwors but when I reach the main dasboard, it only gives me the option to upload a document..

I'm getting stuck on the selection of the organization page... it's prompting me with just the "individual" option under "select your organization" then after I click on it, it's responding with "The Organization you chose does not have the associated roles required to access your requested application. Please select an Organization that has the correct authority to access the requested application to continue." anyone else having this issue?

How do you know which 1099s have errors and how do you actually correct? Ours were accepted with errors but can't figure out what errors and how to resubmit.

I signed up but under Application Status it says 'Signature Required'. Are you familiar with how to resolve this?

[cathyryan]

can you file 1099nec as an individual on the IRS online portal? It doesn't seem like it's an option at the TCC application page?

[MusicChannel-rfzz]

Is it too late now for E filing 1099 NEC? I haven't applied for a TCC yet.

On all copies where the recipients whose TIN are ITIN, the ITIN are not showing in the RECIPIENT'S TIN box. The copies for the recipients whose TIN are SSN, their SSN appear properly in full in the RECIPIENT'S TIN box. I do see all the ITIN are among the info submitted to IRS, and IRS did ACCEPT the file almost right away after submission. The ITIN are missing, but the SSN are showing; is this the way it's supposed to be?

I received my TCC from the IRS and Logged into the the IRIS system. I see my company and click on it, the next page asks me to Select my TCC, but nothing appears, there is no selection box, its almost like this is a glitch that its not appearing. Anyone else have this problem? Trying to call the IRS for help is futile, the only response I get when calling is that due to high call volume, I need to try again another day!

[jackko]

Thank you for this info! Can I for instance use this portal to issue 1099-nec to myself from my corporation? :)

[tammyhoward]

How do we correct a 1099? For example, someone provided SSN vs EIN and now wants corrected. TIA!!!
