Prepare form 1099 (all variations)

Year-end processing tips for Form 1099

We've compiled a list of tasks to follow and resources to use as you prepare for year-end 1099 form processing.
note
IRS regulations made on February 23, 2023 reduce the threshold for filing certain information returns electronically. For more information, refer to the related content link

Filing by paper: Order necessary forms

Figure out the total number of 1099s that you'll need for your clients and then order the forms.
  • Print the 1099 Ordering Worksheet from the Print Reports screen.
  • We recommend that you order forms 1099 from Forms CS. We can't guarantee perfect alignment to other vendor's forms or to government preprinted forms.
    tip
    Contact Forms CS to find out if there are discounts being offered. They may offer early bird discounts!
  • Red scannable forms are still required. Because the IRS hasn't released specifications to produce black and white facsimile Copy A or 1096 forms, we can't offer this print option.

Filing electronically

Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE)
  • Go to the IRS FIRE webpage to learn how to register and use the 1099 electronic filing program.
  • Effective September 26, 2021, Form 4419 was replaced by the online Information Returns Application for Transmitter Control Code (IR Application for TCC). The IR Application for TCC lets you request an original TCC or an additional TCC.
    • Submit a paper Form 4419 (Rev. 9-2021) when you have an existing TCC that was issued before September 26, 2021.
  • Go to https://FIRE.IRS.gov to access the FIRE program and upload your 1099 files created from Accounting CS.
tip
Address problems uploading files to FIRE:
 Review IRS Publication 1220 for help with any problems you might encounter when uploading a file to the FIRE system.
Information Returns Intake System (IRIS)
  • Go to the IRS IRIS webpage to learn more about filing 1099s through the IRIS system.
  • An IRIS Transmitter Control Code (TCC) isn't required if you plan to electronically file through Accounting CS.
