High-volume tax reporting requires more control

At high volume, every unresolved record creates more work before, during, and after filing.

Data quality can affect filing

Filing can fall behind if the recipient data is incomplete. Every hour spent fixing or correcting records can slow down review and submission.

IRIS adds another layer of complexity

A single form submission can produce different reporting outcomes across forms. Teams need clear visibility to separate those outcomes.

Federal filing is not the final step

IRS acceptance is only part of the filing process. State filing obligations, reconciliation, corrections, and recipient delivery must also be completed.

Build control into the filing process

Support your team’s filing readiness by collecting W‑9s early and validating TINs, addresses, and source data to resolve data quality issues.

Intake exceptions Resolved before filing

Get recipient data right

Strengthen the accuracy of recipient data by collecting completed W-9s and W-8s. Validate TIN/name and addresses before submission.

Bring source data into one workflow

Brings in 1220 files, Excel, CSV, mapped spreadsheets, multi-payer uploads, secure transfer, 12+ integrations, and API feeds without rebuilding every source.

Flag exceptions at intake

Identify the field causing the problem as data moves from intake to validation. Let teams address exceptions to keep filing-ready records moving.

IRIS filing infrastructure is already built In

Zenwork already provides the TCC, form-level status, and centralized correction workflow required for IRIS.

Resolve only the affected forms

Manage and correct individual rejected forms while the rest of the filing continues through the reporting process.

Maintain end-to-end reporting visibility

Close the reporting cycle with support for state filing, furnishing, corrections, and prior-year reporting obligations.

Frequently asked questions

When is FIRE being retired for 1099 filing?

FIRE will no longer accept information returns after November 19, 2026. Beginning with tax year 2026 returns filed in 2027, IRIS becomes the IRS intake system for information returns previously filed through FIRE. Zenwork has operated on IRIS since launch.

Can I use my existing FIRE TCC with IRIS?

No. FIRE and IRIS Transmitter Control Codes are not interchangeable. Organizations transmitting directly through IRIS must obtain an IRIS TCC. With Zenwork, customers file under Zenwork’s TCC, so they do not need a separate IRIS TCC application for the Zenwork filing workflow.

What changes when moving from FIRE to IRIS?

IRIS changes more than where information returns are submitted. FIRE used Publication 1220 file specifications, while high-volume IRIS Application-to-Application filing uses XML schemas and an interactive transmission process. IRIS also returns acknowledgement statuses and error information that filing workflows must interpret and act on.

How are errors and corrections handled in IRIS?

IRIS can return different filing outcomes across submitted records. Zenwork tracks filing status at the form level, so teams can identify affected records and correct or refile forms requiring action while other forms continue through the reporting process.

Do 1099s need to be filed with states as well as the IRS?

State information reporting requirements vary by state, form, and filing situation. Reporting may involve Combined Federal/State Filing, direct-state filing, state-only filing, corrections, or reconciliation forms. Zenwork supports federal filing and reporting requirements across all 50 states within the same reporting workflow.
