Questions about 1099ERICH and the IRS IRIS Portal
Quick answers about how the software fits into the IRS filing process.
What is the IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal?
IRIS stands for Information Returns Intake System. The IRS Taxpayer Portal is a web-based system for filing supported information returns. Filers can enter return data in the portal or upload CSV files.
Does 1099ERICH file directly with the IRS?
No. 1099ERICH prepares and validates your data, prints recipient copies, and creates the upload files. You then sign in to the IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal and submit the files through the IRS.
Do I need an IRIS TCC?
Yes, if you are using your own Taxpayer Portal account, the IRS requires an approved IRIS Transmitter Control Code (TCC). Apply before the filing deadline because approval can take time.

Yes. Use a supported CSV or Excel layout, import the data into 1099ERICH, review the validation results, correct the source file if needed, and import again.
How many forms can be in an IRIS CSV upload file?
IRS Publication 5717 (Rev. 2-2026) states that a CSV file can contain up to 250 forms. Always verify the current portal and form-specific guidance before filing because IRS materials and limits can change.
