QuickAlerts for Tax Professionals

May 7, 2026

Subject:  FIRE System Retirement: TCC Application changes


Due to the planned retirement of the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) System, the IRS will no longer accept new Information Returns (IR) Applications for Transmitter Control Codes (TCCs) beginning July 21, 2026. Existing applicants can continue to update their applications through December 2026, after which they will become read-only and retained for historical reference.

Current FIRE users must complete an Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) Application for TCC and transition to IRIS for electronic filing beginning with the 2027 filing season. IRIS will be the only information returns electronic filing system, including current year, prior year, or corrections, after January 1, 2027. For additional information, visit IRS.gov/iris.

National Small Business Week: Tools for business owners and entrepreneurs

Being a small business owner or entrepreneur can be a heavy lift sometimes. Fortunately, there’re several tools and resources that can help them manage their tax responsibilities efficiently. National Small Business Week 2026, is an opportunity to highlight some of the improvements and technology available to enhance the taxpayer experience.

Business Tax Account
Business Tax Account is a secure, centralized platform that allows authorized users to:

  • View tax balances
  • Make payments including Offer in Compromise for eligible users
  • See payment history
  • Download select digital notices
  • View eligible transcripts, such as payroll and income
  • Request a tax compliance check
  • See the business name and address on file with the IRS

BTA recently expanded access to millions more users. The organizational types that can access BTA are sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, federal, state, and local governments, Indian tribal governments, and tax-exempt organizations. For more information or to learn about eligibility requirements to use BTA, visit www.irs.gov/businessaccount.

Information Returns Intake System
IRIS is a modernized system that lets taxpayers e-file information returns for tax years 2022 and later as well as file a correction and request automatic extensions.

Digital and mobile-friendly forms
Certain IRS forms are available for taxpayers to easily complete and submit from their computer, cell phone or tablet. This gives taxpayers a safe and fast way to electronically engage with IRS. For forms that require signatures, they need an IRS Individual Account to complete the mobile friendly forms.

IRS Secure Messaging
It’s a way for taxpayers and authorized representatives of a taxpayer/business to directly interact with IRS representatives. Taxpayers can submit electronic documentation quickly and securely and reduce or eliminate the need to call or mail documents. Secure messages can be sent to you by IRS representatives.

e-News for Clean Vehicle Industry

May 7, 2026

Reminder: The Energy Credits Online (ECO) Portal Will Stop Accepting 2025 Submissions June 1, 2026; Ensure points of contact are current in the ECO portal

As previously communicated, beginning June 1, 2026, you will no longer be able to submit late time of sale reports for calendar year 2025 sales through the Energy Credits Online (ECO) portal.

Act now to submit any outstanding 2025 time of sale reports to help avoid delays, errors, or denied credits when your customers file their tax returns. To help expedite review, be sure to upload all supporting documentation through the ECO portal at the time of submission.

If you encounter issues submitting a late time of sale report, please contact us through Secure Messaging.

For instructions on using Secure Messaging, refer to Publication 6025, Secure Messaging: Contact the IRS through Secure Messaging User Guide.

Ensure points of contact are current in the ECO portal

When we need to request additional information or share important updates related to your clean vehicle submissions, we will contact your entity’s designated clean energy officer.

To ensure we are reaching the correct point of contact, please regularly review, update, and confirm your entity’s contact information in the ECO portal.

The first user who registers on behalf of your entity is designated as the clean energy officer. This role has full access to ECO functionalities, including adding users and assigning permissions.

As a best practice, your account should always maintain at least two clean energy officers. If your account currently has only one user, add an additional clean energy officer as soon as possible.

For more information, refer to Publication 5902, Clean Energy Authorization Permission Management.

Need a listing of previously submitted time of sale reports?

You can download your dealership’s transaction history from the “Submitted Time of Sale Reports” menu in the ECO portal. To generate the report, click the “Download All Submitted Time of Sale Reports” button located in the lower-right corner of the screen.
