APPLY NOW for IRS IRIS for 1099 electronic filing!Monday, October 19, 2026IRS FIRE SYSTEM DISCONTINUED!
You must apply for the new
IRIS system for tax year 2026 (filed in January 2027) to electronically file 1099s. Though the application process is similar, this is
not the same application or TCC you used for the FIRE system.
Remember: ALL filers with more than 10 forms of all types combined (W-2, 1099, ACA, etc.) are required to file electronically! WAMS can help you make files to file 1099s and W-2s but you will need access to the IRS IRIS system to file 1099s and the SSA BSO system to file W-2s.
* If you're filing a type of form electronically for the first time,
apply for access ASAP! It can take up to 45 days and a number of steps to gain access to these systems.
*
If you filed W-2s last year, make sure you can still access the BSO system.
*
See our page about Electronically Filing W-2 and 1099 forms for more information. We will continue to update this throughout the year.
