The IRS has announced that the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system will retire after November 19, 2026, requiring filers to transition to the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) for the 2027 filing season. Key deadlines include November 1 for final test filings through FIRE’s Trading Partner Test System, November 9 for updates to Transmitter Control Code applications, and November 19 for last submissions via FIRE. IRIS, a modernized platform launched in 2023, allows e-filing through two channels: the IRIS Taxpayer Portal (for up to 100 returns at once) and IRIS Application to Application (for bulk filings). Filers must complete an IRIS Application for TCC, review guidance, and subscribe to IRIS QuickAlerts for updates. The IRS will provide further details through its official channels.
