2026 - 1099 file testing timeline with the IRS for the new IRIS system versus FIRE in 2025
Can we get confirmation that the 2026 1099 updated will come out earlier enough that will be able to complete test files with the IRS on IRIS as this system will be new next year. In 2025 and 2024 the 1099 updates arrived after the FIRE test sites had been closed for the calendar year. We had issues in 2025 Production that required additional fixes be applied as the files failed FIRE. This caused us to send out a large number of corrections that would not have been needed if we were able to test with FIRE.
Thanks
Todd
