The IRS FIRE system will be retired effective December 31, 2026. Beginning with Tax Year 2026 filings (submitted in 2027), applicable information returns must be filed through IRIS. This regulatory change impacts SAP HCM customers reporting Forms 1099-R and 1042-S and requires organizations to understand new filing processes, registration requirements, and SAP solution updates.

In partnership with SAP, this ASUG webcast will provide guidance to help organizations prepare for the IRS transition from the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system to the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS).

Key Takeaways:

  • Overview of the IRS FIRE retirement and IRIS requirements
  • Impact on SAP HCM Payroll reporting for Forms 1099-R and 1042-S
  • Key differences between the FIRE and IRIS filing processes
  • SAP roadmap and phased delivery approach for IRIS support
  • Customer readiness checklist and recommended next steps
  • Questions and answers with SAP Product Management experts

Whether you are responsible for payroll operations, tax reporting, or compliance, this session will help you understand the upcoming changes and prepare your organization for a smooth transition to IRIS.
