Product Updates
We are happy to share the news about exciting updates on our product developments and a glimpse into our plans for the year ahead. We’re on a mission to ensure that Advantage remains not just a tool you use but a partner you trust to help drive your business forward.
1099 IRIS Filing is Available
The IRS has introduced a new way to e-file your 1099s with IRIS, and we’re here to help make that transition seamless for you. We’ve rolled out updates to support the new IRIS method in addition to the current FIRE method.
What you need to know:
- To use the IRIS Taxpayer portal you must first apply for an IRIS Transmitter Code Code (TCC)
- If you have not yet applied for a TCC, you need to allow 45 days for processing
- The current FIRE e-file method will still be available, but we expect the IRS to retire this method in the coming years
For more information about how to file with IRIS and FIRE please visit IRS.gov
