We stopped uploading 1099s with our 2023 Tax filings. We use Track1099 which was purchased by Avalara to produce and file our 1099 returns. Our filing numbers are over 300. I have no issues with this online software, I'm able to import our data with their import template, make corrections as needed, mail and/or e-deliver the forms to the recipients.

Subject: Plans for 1099 filing with IRIS
Hello,
With the retirement of the FIRE system for e-filing 1099s. I was wondering what people's plans were for the IRIS switch. We've already completed the TCC application. However, I am wondering if it would be in our best interest to find a third party to e-file instead. We use Workday and have historically downloaded the file from there and uploaded directly into FIRE. It looks like Workday is working on the new format requirements for IRIS. From what I can find, you can only file 250 returns at a time in the new IRIS portal system. There is also no option for bulk corrections. You have to manually enter them into the portal. This seems like a down grade. I feel like maybe finding a vendor that can do A2A filing would be better. Has anyone already filed 1099s through IRIS yet?
