Use Quarterly Express Plus to file your 1099's using our IRIS Interface

The IRS recently introduced their new e-file system for 1099's called IRIS (Information Return Intake System). This system contains 2 methods for filing your 1099 returns. The first is their Portal which is available on the IRS web site and is free of charge. This system has the following requirements:


  1. The user must have their own EIN and IRS issued TCC. This TCC is different from the one that is used on the existing system called FIRE.
  2. You can submit up to 100 records per upload using their CSV template.


If you don't have a TCC or any of the other requirements for the portal, you can now use Quarterly Express Plus to create/import any 1099 form and e-file them through our software. As with our ACA Information system, there is a per return fee which shows below. Since we are interfacing with their A2A platform which is the 2nd method, our submissions will be sent using our TCC and Client ID so you don't need to register at all to use this function. All licensed users can create 1099 returns, but standard Business Taxpayer and ERO users may need an additional license to import 1099 data into our software.


  • 1099 Batch Submission (9 or less forms) $3.50 per return.
  • 1099 Batch Submission (10-24 forms) 8% discount per return
  • 1099 Batch Submission (25-49 forms) 15% discount per return
  • 1099 Batch Submission (50-199 forms) 25% discount per return
  • 1099 Batch Submission (200-499 forms) 30% discount per return
  • 1099 Batch Submission (500+ forms) 40% discount per return


If you have a larger volume and would like to utilize our software to direct file your 1099's and you already have obtained your own TCC and have the capability to obtain a client ID along with a digital certificate, let us know and we can discuss licensing options to utilize our direct filing interface.

Use Quarterly Express Plus to file your ACA Returns

Our Quarterly Express Plus software has the capability to file your ACA Information returns (1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C, 1095-C) with the IRS. We support both an indirect and direct option of filing. Features include:


  • If you have your own TCC, you can use it to import your XML or Excel based file to generate the 1095's and transmit them directly to the AIR system.
  • If you don't have a TCC or it is not in production, you can import data into Quarterly Express Plus and transmit it indirectly to Lewis Software. We will use our TCC to submit to the IRS and you will receive all receipt ID's. There is a per return fee for this option.
  • If you don't have an import file and just need to create and e-file the forms manually, you can do that as well with our Business Taxpayer License and file them indirectly. Import and Transmit options will require an additional license.
  • If you need greater capability, or need to file additional information returns such as W2's, use Annual Express instead. This is an online system that will allow you to file any information return for a per return fee.

EFTPS Payment Issues during Quarter 3 Filing Period

If you filed a return with a balance due payment using Quarterly Express Plus during Quarter 3 of 2023, you might have seen some issues with the processing of the payment. Some of our customers who filed returns in the middle of October, did not see their payments draft from their accounts within the typical 48-96 hours. After inquiring about the issue, it appears a system issue on the EFTPS side caused this delay. Unfortunately, this was not discovered until November and those payments were posted but after the typical Q3 deadline. In this case, notices will likely be sent to the filer, but the IRS has committed to abate any penalties or interest related to this issue. If you receive an IRS notice due a late payment that was submitted in October, let us know and we will provide the information to respond. We have been assured that better monitoring of their interface will occur now and these type of issues should not occur in the future.
