The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is seeking public comments on the Information Returns (IR) application for a Transmitter Control Code (TCC), as part of its effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden. This application is for those intending to file Information Returns electronically using the FIRE System and will replace the obsolete Form 4419. Comments are invited by April 21, 2025, on various aspects of the information collection, such as its necessity and ways to improve its utility and clarity. Approved applicants will receive a 5-digit code to identify the business transmitting electronic returns.
Simple Explanation
The IRS wants people to share their thoughts on a new code that helps them send tax forms online, and they're getting rid of an old form that used to do this. They hope this new code will make it simpler to show which business is sending tax forms, and want to know if it can be made even clearer and better.
