IRIS mixed-status troubleshooting
IRIS “Partially Accepted”: separate accepted and rejected work
A Partially Accepted result means the transmission contains both successful and failed work. The main risk is resending accepted returns along with the rejected records and creating duplicate reporting.
Step-by-step fix
Use a controlled troubleshooting sequence
Build an accepted/rejected reconciliation list
Mark each submission or record as Accepted, Accepted with Errors, or Rejected based on the IRS acknowledgement.
Remove accepted records from the replacement batch
Accepted items stay accepted. If one needs a data change, handle it through the correction workflow rather than replacement.
Fix only the rejected causes
Correct schema, formatting, required-field or business-rule errors that caused rejection.
Create and submit the replacement for the rejected work
Use the replacement identifiers and method required by the current IRIS channel. Reconcile the replacement acknowledgement back to the original rejected list.
Common failure points
Problems that cause avoidable repeat filings
Record counts do not match
Compare your local import count, IRIS submission count and acknowledgement count before resubmitting anything.
One payer succeeded and another failed
Keep the successful payer untouched and rebuild the rejected payer/submission only.
Accepted with Errors mixed with Rejected
Accepted-with-errors records need corrections; rejected records need replacement. Do not use one workflow for both.
Staff only saved the top-level status
Return to the transmission details and capture the record/submission-level result. A top-level Partially Accepted label is not enough to prepare the next file.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Can I upload the corrected full file again?
That is risky because accepted records can be duplicated. Isolate the rejected work and follow the replacement process.
What if I cannot tell which rows failed?
Use the IRS detailed acknowledgement plus your original row identifiers/account numbers to reconcile the filing. Do not guess.
Do accepted records need to be filed again after a partial result?
No. Accepted records should not be resent merely because another record in the transmission was rejected.
