The IRIS switch

The IRS is changing filing systems. You don't have to change yours.

The IRS is retiring FIRE, so tax year 2026 1098-Ts must be e-filed through IRIS. Filing there yourself requires an IRIS Transmitter Control Code. When you file through Greenshades, your forms go out under our TCC, so there's no application to wait on. Get started today with Greenshades.
