IRIS versus MeF

IRIS handles information returns such as Forms 1099 and 1042-S. MeF supports other tax return types such as Forms 1042 and 709. Do not use the same format for both systems.

What to prepare

Have form type, tax year, payer details, recipients, applicable amounts and correction status ready. For portal CSV uploads, follow the official tax-year template layout.

Per-file service pricing

The $200 service applies to a single accepted filing file with up to 1,000 records; larger files require a quote. Correction handling, additional submissions and special validations are confirmed separately.
