One sample 1099-NEC record. The XML is what the converter writes for it. Read the FIRE to IRIS guide

Every record is checked before anything leaves.

Each error names the record and the field. One failing record holds back the whole file, so nothing incomplete reaches the IRS.

  • ErrorRecord 2: [payee.state] Payee state "" must be a valid 2-letter US state/territory code
  • ErrorRecord 3: [payee.tin] Invalid payee TIN: "*****3456"
  • ErrorRecord 4: [payee.zip] Payee ZIP "0324" must be 5 or 9 digits (check for leading zeros dropped by spreadsheet software)
  • TINs by type. An SSN starting 000 or 666 fails, and so does an EIN starting 00.
  • States, ZIP codes and the amount codes each form allows.
  • ZIP codes that lost a leading zero in a spreadsheet.
  • One error report (CSV) for every file in your season.
  • Forms IRISfile cannot file yet stay in your results with the reason. None are dropped.

Pay per form. Every output is included.

Converting and checking are free. A form is paid once, when you take its first output, and the quote sits right under the buttons.

The converted file's output buttons, locked, with the quote under them: 5 forms to unlock, tax year 2025, $50.00, and a Pay $50.00 to unlock button.

Filed under our TCC. The receipt stays with the file.

IRISfile files as your transmitter, so your firm and your clients never apply for a Transmitter Control Code.

  • A summary to check first: filer, masked EIN, form, tax year, records and transmissions.
  • A real filing needs your tick on “I reviewed the return data”, because it cannot be recalled.
  • Each transmission keeps its UTID and IRS receipt ID on the file’s row.
  • The IRS answer arrives as a code: A accepted, E accepted with errors, P partially accepted, R rejected.
The File with the IRS dialog: filer Harbor Light Bookkeeping LLC, masked EIN, form NEC, tax year 2025, 2 records, 1 transmission, marked as a sandbox test filing, with Cancel and File now.
The summary before filing, from the IRS test system. Our first filing from the app was accepted there with zero errors (receipt 2025-89395944131-33227bddf).

What IRISfile files today.

Only forms we can file correctly produce XML. The rest stay in your results with the reason, until we can.
