As businesses grow and evolve, so does the complexity of their tax filing requirements. One critical component in this process is the Transmitter Control Code (TCC). This code is essential for any business that needs to file information returns electronically. Let's explore what a TCC is, why it's important for your business, and how D2D Consulting can help you navigate this essential process.
What is a Transmitter Control Code (TCC)?
The Transmitter Control Code (TCC) is a unique identifier assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to businesses and individuals who file information returns electronically. Information returns are used to report various types of payments made to individuals or entities, such as interest, dividends, and other forms of income. Common examples of information returns include Forms 1099, 1098, 1042-S, and W-2G.
Why is TCC Important for Your Business?
Understanding the Two TCC Registrations: FIRE and IRIS
The IRS maintains two separate e-filing portals for filing 1099s: FIRE (Filing Information Returns Electronically) and IRIS (IRS Information Return Intake System). It is important to determine which system is compatible with your business’s software. For instance, D2D Consulting frequently handles Yardi implementations for real estate developers and property managers. Last year, Yardi required a FIRE TCC to file electronically from their system. While this requirement is subject to change, it underscores the importance of knowing which TCC registration is relevant to your software and filing needs.
