CDK Accounting Updates 1099 Workflow for IRS IRIS E-Filing

The IRS has retired the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) System. Dealers will need to file for a new Transmitter Control Code (TCC) in order  to file via the new Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) e-file format for processing filings for 2026  or prior years.

• The 1099 workflow now supports the IRS Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) e-file format
• Dealers can file 1099s for 2026 and prior tax years using the updated format
• The workflow supports processing corrections for previously filed years
• Updates help dealers prepare for the IRS retirement of the FIRE system

• Stay aligned with the IRS's new electronic filing requirements
• Simplify the transition from the FIRE system to the IRIS platform
• Submit current and prior-year 1099 filings through a supported workflow
• Handle filing corrections more efficiently for a smoother year-end filing process

The updated 1099 filing workflow helps dealers prepare for the IRS transition from the retired FIRE system to the new IRIS platform, supporting electronic filing for 2026 and prior years while simplifying correction processing.

This enhancement is one of many capabilities available in  CDK Accounting and designed to help give Controllers and CFOs the confidence, control and agility to thrive.
