1099 Processing – IRIS
Unfortunately, electronic filing of Form 1099-NEC through the IRIS system will not be available by the filing deadlines for calendar year 2025.
Although programming in ASCENDER is complete, issues encountered during IRS Testing Assurance have prevented us from moving to production status. As a result, there is not adequate time for the changes to be released and implemented by LEAs for the 2025 filing cycle. TCC will release the programming as soon as production status is achieved and internal testing is completed.
Please note the following IRS filing deadlines for calendar year 2025:
- Form 1099-NEC must be electronically filed with the IRS on or before Monday, February 2, 2026.
- Form 1099-MISC must be electronically filed with the IRS by March 31, 2026.
Because IRIS will not be available in time for the 1099-NEC deadline, LEAs will need to use the FIRE system to submit, at a minimum, Form 1099-NEC for calendar year 2025. Existing FIRE system credentials may be used for submission.
Additional information will be provided once IRIS moves to production and internal testing is complete.
Please submit an ESC-16 ticket, if you are responsible for electronically filing the 1099s for your district and you DO NOT have a FIRE account, so that we can discuss the manual options available in IRIS.
1095 Processing
Districts are now able to process and print the 1095 forms from Personnel but will not be able to create the 1095 files at this time.
Updates to the AIR submission file are scheduled for Release 11.0610 (tentatively scheduled for 2/19/26). As a reminder, 1095 forms are required to be electronically filed with the IRS by March 31, 2026.
We will send out another announcement once the 1095 files may be created.
