The process explains how to file Form 1099‑NEC using the IRS IRIS system after receiving your TCC approval. Form 1099-NEC is simpler than 1099-Misc and has few lines. It is for contractors, businesses, lawyers you paid $600 or more during the year that are not your employees. Payments to contractors are entered on Line 1 of Form 1099-NEC, and state details go in the state section if required.
Some filers leave the state section blank, and some businesses prefer the 1099‑NEC over the 1099‑MISC because it is simpler. Before filing, you should always get a W‑9 from the contractor so you have their correct name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
Once your TCC letter arrives in the mail, you log back into the IRIS portal using ID.me. Inside the portal, you navigate to your organizational roles, select your IRIS access, and choose Start New Form. You select 1099‑NEC, choose the year, and follow the step‑by‑step layout.
You enter the payer information (your business name, EIN, and address), then the recipient information based on their W‑9. You choose whether the recipient uses an SSN or EIN and enter the required name fields. After that, you enter the amount paid, which goes in Box 1.
If your state participates in IRS combined state filing, you can authorize IRS to send the form to the state; otherwise, you handle state filing separately. Next, you enter any state-specific details if needed. Once everything is complete, the system checks for errors. When no errors are found, you review and submit the form.
After submitting, you can view submitted forms and later download a ZIP file containing the PDF copies (Copy A, B, and 2) and instructions. You provide the appropriate copy to the contractor. This process allows you to file 1099s for free using IRIS and download official copies to distribute.
