ASCENDER interfaces with the IRS Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) system to allow authorized users to transmit information returns directly to the IRS via the Application-to-Application (A2A) transmission method. Through the A2A transmission method, users can perform the following:
- Electronic filing of information returns
- Submit transmissions directly from their application to the IRIS application
- XML Format
- Bulk filing
- Corrections and Automatic Extensions
This utility is used to transmit and process 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC information returns to IRIS via Application to Application (A2A).
