New guidance highlights the connection between Vendor Master governance, information reporting readiness, and evolving IRS filing requirements
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Nyenta -- RAS AP Consulting, a leading advisory firm specializing in Accounts Payable Governance, Vendor Master Management, and Information Reporting Compliance, today announced its new educational resource, "1099 Compliance Starts in the Vendor Master File," to help organizations prepare for major changes affecting information return reporting and filing.
The educational initiative comes as organizations prepare to retire the IRS Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system and transition to the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS). The IRS announced that November 19, 2026, will be the final day to file information returns through the FIRE system, requiring current FIRE users to transition to IRIS beginning with the 2027 filing season.
In addition to system changes, organizations must navigate new IRIS Transmitter Control Code (TCC) requirements, application timelines that may take up to 45 days, and reporting threshold changes affecting certain information returns.
According to RAS AP Consulting, many organizations still treat 1099 compliance as a year-end filing exercise rather than an enterprise data governance initiative.
"Many filing issues begin long before forms are submitted," said Rosemarie A. Smith, BSBA, Founder and CEO of RAS AP Consulting, a certified 1099 and 1042‑S Information Reporting professional with more than 30 years of experience in Accounts Payable operations, supplier governance, and compliance. "Missing W-9S, inaccurate taxpayer information, duplicate vendor records, and weak onboarding controls can all create unnecessary compliance risk. The transition from FIRE to IRIS serves as an important reminder that information reporting begins with strong Vendor Master governance."

As part of the initiative, RAS AP Consulting is offering complimentary readiness discussions focused on Vendor Master integrity, taxpayer data validation, IRIS preparedness, and AP Governance best practices.
