TAB1099 Services Help You Transition from IRS FIRE to IRIS
The IRS stops accepting submissions through the FIRE system on November 19, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET. Every organization that files 1099s, 1098s, W-2Gs, and other information returns through FIRE needs a path to IRIS before then. TAB1099 can help you make the transition with flexible service options, depending on how much of the process you want to keep in-house.

Automatic conversion to IRIS XML — no manual reformatting of your FIRE file
Test before you transmit — review converted data before anything reaches the IRS
Every record validated against IRS business rules before submission
Filed through IRIS A2A under our own TCC — no new TCC application required
Immediate confirmation and reporting on every transmission
Full tracking from upload through IRS acceptance
Unlimited corrections at no per-correction fee

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from the people who’ve filed with us, year after year.
This is our 19th year working with the Tab Service Company. They have been a dedicated and trusted partner we can always count on. The team at Tab Service Company always goes above and beyond to meet our needs. Each year, we go into the IRS filing season with peace of mind knowing that they have our back. They are knowledgeable in what they do and saved us a few headaches along the way. We’re grateful to be working with such an awesome team of professionals.
Arzu Smith, Director of District Finance Services at Contra Costa Community College
I just would like to say it has been a continued pleasure working with Tab Services during AP’s tax season. Their staff are readily available but more so their tax portal is very comprehensive for year end annual tax reporting for us in Accounts Payable covering North America. Their end user portal gives me the flexibility to issue duplicate and corrections to my vendors “on demand” via print or e-delivery plus QA/audit methodology with review of PDF prints and sign-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. TAB1099 files through IRIS A2A under our own Transmitter Control Code, so you don’t need to apply for one, go through identity verification, or complete IRS testing. If you file directly with the IRS instead of through a provider, you will need your own IRIS TCC.
Yes. Upload the same FIRE-format file you use today. TAB1099 converts it to IRIS-compliant XML automatically, so you don’t have to change your software or reformat anything. We also accept CSV and Excel files.
However you already move data: direct upload, API integration, or SFTP.
Yes. You can test and review your converted data before anything is transmitted. Every record is also validated against IRS business rules before submission, so errors are caught early rather than after filing.
