Get an ID.me account and a five-digit IRIS TCC.

Customers who want to upload their own CSV files need individual ID.me identity verification and an approved IRIS Transmitter Control Code for the business.

Create or use your ID.me account

Each authorized user listed on an IRIS TCC application needs an individual IRS/ID.me account. Do not share a login.

Apply for an IRIS TCC

Choose the appropriate role for your organization. An issuer files for its own business; a transmitter can file for its business and others.

Sign in to the Taxpayer Portal

After the TCC is assigned, use the IRIS Taxpayer Portal to upload the CSV files created by 1099ERICH.

Plan ahead: IRS processing and suitability review can take time. Apply before the filing deadline rather than waiting until the files are ready.
