IRS FIRE sunset. Transition, prior years, corrections.

FIRE is being retired. The IRS retires FIRE after 31 December 2026, and IRIS becomes the sole intake system for covered information returns from 1 January 2027. A8 Core™’s strategic filing interface is IRS IRIS information-return filing. This page remains for transition, prior-year filings, corrections to files already transmitted, and retention of the evidence for both.

Information returns end as electronic files with strict formats and deadlines. A8 Core™ generates filing-format output from the tax records, tracks transmission through the institution’s configured filing path, and retains receipts and acknowledgments.

The filing pipeline

Filing is a workflow with evidence at every step.

Generate

Filing-format files produced from the same records that produced the recipient forms.

Validate

Structural and content validation before anything transmits.

Transmit

Transmission through the institution’s configured transmitter or provider path.

Acknowledge

Acknowledgments, receipts, and status retained against each file.

Correct

Corrections generated as correction files, tied to the original submissions.

Scoped plainly

A8 Core™ produces files and manages the workflow. Transmitter enrollment, filing credentials, and filing certification belong to the operating institution and its providers — capability here is provider dependent and labeled as such.
