IRIS Application for CPA Firms

[lillyjohnson]

We are needing some clarification on how to apply for and use the IRS IRIS site for 1099 e-filing. We file 1099s for all our clients and wanted to set up a bulk filer/TCC with IRIS. Normally we just use QB or efilemyforms to send 1099s. We tried to set up a business account through IDME. However, we got to the authentication screen and didn't know which of our employees id and information to use. Is this the right way to set this up?

Will IRIS be a site to e-file 1099s to the IRS, to the state, AND distribute to the clients and their vendors? Or is this just a site to efile the 1099s to the IRS, then we'll have to manually print to mail to state and distribute to our clients and their vendors?

Thank you so much for any help!!!
