Hello, PeopleSoft Community!

Big changes are coming to 1099 reporting! Are you ready to make the move to the IRS Information Returns Intake System (IRIS)? If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got you covered.

In this episode, we’re joined by Alicia Kinsey, Director of Product Management for PeopleSoft FSCM Strategy, who shares her expertise and breaks down what PeopleSoft customers need to know about the transition.

The legacy Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system is being retired. The IRS is converting to the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) as its primary platform for electronic information returns. Beginning with tax year 2026 filings, organizations filing 1099s will need to use IRIS instead of FIRE.

So, what does this mean for PeopleSoft customers, and what should you be doing now to prepare?

Alicia walks us through the key steps organizations should take to ensure a smooth transition and stay compliant, including:

• Supplier Name Formatting: Understand the updates needed to supplier data.
• TIN Matching: Learn about IRS Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) matching and how to obtain access.
• Transmitter Control Code (TCC): Understand the application process and what your organization needs to do to secure its credentials.
• PeopleSoft Updates: Find out which PeopleSoft patches and technical configurations are needed to support IRIS reporting.

Whether you’re just beginning or already working through your transition plan, this episode offers practical guidance to help your organization prepare.

Don’t wait until filing season to get started! Tune in to hear Alicia’s insights and make sure your PeopleSoft environment, supplier data, and filing processes are ready for the changes ahead.
