We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.
We were just made aware that the IRS FIRE system is shutting down tonight at 6 PM EST and will not reopen until January 4th, 2022. If you transmit any 1099 returns after 5 PM EST tonight you will receive an EFC Reject 49. If you transmitted a return yesterday or earlier today, then you may not receive an acknowledgement until the FIRE System reopens in January.
