IRIS Transition Playbook: Prepare for the IRS FIRE System Retirement

IRIS (Information Returns Intake System) is the IRS’s new mandatory platform for electronic information return filing — and it’s not just a system swap. It’s the biggest change to how businesses report to the IRS in 40 years.

The IRIS Transition Playbook breaks down exactly what’s changing, what it means for your team, and how to decide the smartest path forward before FIRE shuts down for good.

Here’s the reality for mid-sized businesses: IRIS turns what used to be an annual filing task into a year-round technical responsibility. That means new infrastructure, new processes, and new ongoing costs — whether you handle it in-house or work with a partner who specializes in this.

This playbook gives you the clarity to make that call confidently, without getting buried in IRS documentation.
