Coming Soon: Foreign Filer Transmitter Control Code Registration System

The IRS is announcing that it has developed a solution to allow certain filers to submit their information returns electronically through the International Data Exchange System (IDES). This update addresses challenges from the transition to the new Information Returns Intake System (IRIS), which has enhanced authentication requirements that may limit access for certain filers. The new solution provides an alternative method to ensure affected filers can continue to meet their obligations in a timely and compliant manner. Additional details on eligibility, access, and implementation will be provided in forthcoming guidance.

Background

The long-standing Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system will be retired this calendar year, with IRIS becoming the platform for returns required to be filed electronically in 2027. While IRIS modernizes the filing process, it also introduces stricter access and authentication requirements, including the need for filers to have authorized users (individuals that are authorized by the entity as their responsible officers or authorized delegates) that have a U.S. taxpayer identification number (Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)), and identity verification through IRS-approved methods. The IRS has acknowledged that these requirements create a significant barrier for certain foreign filers, who may be unable to obtain an SSN or ITIN for their authorized users and therefore cannot complete the authentication process necessary to apply for or maintain a Transmitter Control Code (TCC) required to submit information returns through these systems. As a result, affected filers may be forced to rely on third-party intermediaries or face challenges in meeting their filing obligations.

To address this system limitation, the IRS plans to introduce the new Foreign Filer TCC Registration System, which will allow foreign filers with authorized users that do not have an SSN or ITIN to obtain a TCC. This will allow foreign filers to electronically transmit information returns through IDES. This system will require filers to first obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number (GIIN) solely for the purpose of obtaining a TCC (to be referred to as TCC GIIN). The TCC GIIN and the foreign filer’s TCC are required for IDES enrollment. Once enrolled in IDES, users will be able to electronically transmit Forms 1042-S, applicable Forms 1099, and other information returns.

Important Note for Filers of Information Returns with Authorized Individuals that have U.S. TINs

Filers of information returns with authorized users that have a U.S. TIN such as an SSN or ITIN, must apply for a TCC through the “IRIS Application for TCC” and NOT through the new “Foreign Filer TCC Registration System.”

Access Requirements

Access to the Foreign Filer TCC Registration System will require signing in via Login.gov or ID.me. If you do not already have an account with one of these providers, you will be able to create one directly from the Foreign Filer TCC Registration System homepage, once it becomes available.

What the Registration Process Will Include

When launched, users will be required to:

  • Create a new Foreign Filer TCC account to receive a Foreign Filer ID
  • Complete registration to obtain a TCC GIIN
  • Request a TCC using the firm or organization’s Employer Identification Number (EIN)
  • Enroll in IDES to transmit information returns electronically

Additional details, including launch timing, full registration instructions and webinar details, will be provided once the system is officially released.

For more information about IRIS, including how to register and file, visit IRS.gov.

National Small Business Week 2026: Avoid the scam

It’s National Small Business Week, and the IRS is sharing resources and highlighting key topics each day throughout the week. One of those topics is scams. Back in March, the annual Dirty Dozen list of common tax scams was announced. These scams and schemes target taxpayers, businesses of all sizes and tax professionals. Let’s look at a couple that could affect businesses and entrepreneurs as well as tax professionals supporting small businesses.

Spear-phishing and malware campaigns targeting businesses and tax professionals
Tax pros and businesses can be targets of “new client” or “document request” emails that deliver malicious links or attachments to steal client data or access systems.

  • Businesses, tax pros, and individuals should always be cautious of any suspicious requests or unusual behavior before sharing any sensitive information or responding to an email.
  • Warning signs may include unexpected requests for sensitive information, mismatched or unfamiliar sender addresses, urgent payment demands, or links directing users to websites that do not clearly originate from IRS.gov.
  • Be aware that by gaining access to a hacked email account, scammers can locate a genuine email from a previous victim's email account sent to their tax professional.

Bogus “Self-Employment Tax Credit”

Additional tips to avoid the scam

  • Businesses can take proactive steps to safeguard their business and employees by using anti-malware/anti-virus software with automatic updates and requiring strong passwords with multi-factor authentication. Only enter personal data on secure websites (https) to prevent unauthorized access. See Publication 5961, Protect your business from tax scams PDF, for more information.
  • Protect the Employer Identification Number. Keep it secure and up to date. Use Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party — Business, to make any necessary EIN updates promptly, ensuring its integrity and minimizing the risk of identity theft or fraudulent activity.

Reporting fraud or scams

  • Report suspected tax fraud, scams, identity theft, or other tax-related wrongdoing at IRS.gov/submitatip.
  • Tell us about data losses related to W-2 scams by emailing dataloss@irs.gov and providing contact information. In the subject line, type “W2 Data Loss” so that the email makes it to the right people. Don’t attach any employee personally identifiable information.
  • Contact the Federation of Tax Administrators to receive information on how to report victim information to states using the State Data Breach Contacts
