The IRS has announced it will soon retire its Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system. FIRE is used primarily by small businesses, self-employed individuals, tax professionals, nonprofits, payroll companies and others to file tax forms such as Form 8955-SSA and Forms 1099. FIRE will be discontinued for tax year 2026, with the transition occurring in 2027. Current FIRE filers are advised to start filing information returns through the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS). If you haven’t already done so, submit an IRIS Application for a Transmitter Control Code to gain access to the system. Or contact us for help.
