Understanding the Write Media Program IRIS

Use the Write Media program (P04515) to print 1099 returns and generate electronic output for filing.

The Write Media program uses the data in the 1099 Merged Worktable (F04514) to generate the selected recipient form and, when electronic filing is selected, the selected IRIS output file. EnterpriseOne does not submit the file to the IRS. Upload CSV files through the IRIS Taxpayer Portal or transmit XML files through an external IRIS A2A solution..

The Write Media program consists of this program and report:

  • Write Media program (P04515): Use the Write 1099 Media form to select the 1099 reporting year, return type, reporting medium, and form type. You can select 1099-MISC, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-G, or 1099-NEC.

    For IRIS electronic filing, select Electronic Media as the reporting medium. Then select CSV File or XML File as the form type.The system generates the selected IRIS file.

    Note:

    EnterpriseOne generates a CSV file that you can save locally and manually upload to the IRIS Taxpayer Portal.

    EnterpriseOne also generates an XML file. Use a third-party vendor to transmit XML files through the IRIS Application-to-Application (A2A) channel.

  • Write 1099 Media report (R04515): After you make selections on the Write 1099 Media form and click OK, the system submits the Write 1099 Media report. The report produces the Summary Report, which contains summary information for the selected return type, and then runs the appropriate output report.

    For IRIS CSV output, the system runs one of these reports:

    • 1099-MISC: Write 1099-MISC CSV File (R045162)
    • 1099-DIV: Write 1099-DIV CSV File (R045163)
    • 1099-INT: Write 1099-INT CSV File (R045164)
    • 1099-NEC: Write 1099-NEC CSV File (R045165)
    • 1099-G: Write 1099-G CSV File (R045166)

    For IRIS XML output, the system runs one of these reports:

    • 1099-MISC: Write 1099-MISC XML File (R045172)
    • 1099-DIV: Write 1099-DIV XML File (R045173)
    • 1099-INT: Write 1099-INT XML File (R045174)
    • 1099-NEC: Write 1099-NEC XML File (R045175)
    • 1099-G: Write 1099-G XML File (R045176)
