60 Days Until FIRE System Retirement: Have You Transitioned to IRIS?

QuickAlerts for Tax Professionals September 20, 2026 Subject:  60 Days Until FIRE System Retirement: Have You Transitioned to IRIS? The Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) System retirement is approaching. With 60 days remaining, FIRE System users should make sure they are ready to file through the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS). Visit IRS.gov/iris to learn about IRIS and complete an IRIS Application for Transmitter Control Code (TCC). A FIRE TCC does not eliminate the need to complete the IRIS application process to file through IRIS. Beginning January 2027, IRIS will be the only IRS electronic filing system for information returns, including current-year returns, prior-year returns and corrections. Three FIRE System deadlines are approaching: November 1, 2026: Last day to file test information returns through the FIRE Trading Partner Test System. November 9, 2026: Last day to make changes to Information Returns (IR) Applications for Transmitter Control Codes (TCCs). After this date, applications will become read-only and be retained for historical reference. November 19, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET: Last day to file information returns through the FIRE system. Take action now: Confirm your organization is prepared to use IRIS and complete any remaining transition steps well before the FIRE System deadlines.
