Submitting forms electronically
Before ordering forms, remember that Accounting CS can create electronic files for Federal Copy A and its W-3 or 1096 form. It also creates the Agency Copy of Form 1095-C and its 1094-C form. You can submit these files electronically instead of printing paper copies.
- W-2 forms. The Social Security Administration provides a service for transmitting the W-2 file electronically. For information about registering for this service and transmitting files, go to Business Services Online.
- 1099 forms. Accounting CS can create and transmit federal 1099 forms electronically to the IRS through the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) — no Transmitter Control Code (TCC) or Reporting Agent PIN is required to e-file through Accounting CS.
- 1095-C forms. To apply for 1095-C electronic filing through the Affordable Care Act Information Returns (AIR) program, visit the e-Services page on the IRS website. You need to have an active e-Services account to apply for 1095-C electronic filing. After you're registered, select the Application link and then select ACA Application for TCC and follow the instructions. Once you've received a TCC, contact the IRS for the proper communication testing and final approval procedure for 1095-C electronic filing through the AIR program.
