Passport Software 2023 Year-End (YE) Updates Overview:
-
Electronic filing is now required for 10 or more combined W-2s/1099s. The YE update
provides for the creation of a new .csv file format for electronic filing of 1099s using the
IRS IRIS (Information Returns Intake System). PBS/CashPoint still produces the text file
format for the FIRE system (which the IRS plans to phase out.)
-
Enhanced plain paper PDF printing for W-2s.
