Important
---------
- Keep required column names unchanged when preparing an IRIS upload file.
- Tax IDs, ZIP/postal codes, account numbers and similar identifiers should be treated as text when appropriate so leading zeroes are not lost.
- The IRS can revise IRIS template fields, validation rules, and formatting requirements. Verify the current tax-year guidance before filing.
