What's new: E-file Forms 1099 with IRIS
New filing portal for information returns helps taxpayers, reduces paper filings
The IRS provided taxpayers a new free service on January 23, 2023, to help with filing Forms 1099 series information returns. The Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) is a web-based platform that doesn't require any additional software, which can be helpful to businesses of any size, especially if filing 1099 forms on paper.
Enrollment for the IRIS filing platform is now open and filers should begin the enrollment process immediately. Help spread the word.
You can learn more at IRS.gov/iris.
