Step-by-Step Guide to Requesting a TCC for E-filing 1099 Forms

A Transmitter Control Code (TCC) is a unique identifier required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for businesses or individuals who wish to electronically file certain tax forms, including the 1099 series.

If you are a new user of IRS EFILE service, you need to apply TCC code (Transmitter Control Code) to generate the efile document. You also need to create a FIRE account to upload your file.

1 How to Apply TCC (transmitter control code)

A new online Information Returns (IR) Application for Transmitter Control Code (TCC) is available on the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) webpage located at https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/filing-information-returns-electronically-fire.

Steps for New FIRE TCC Applicants
The new IR Application for TCC is available on the FIRE page.

  • Log into the IR Application for TCC.

  • Validate your identity. If you have an ID.me account from a state government or federal agency, you can sign in without verifying your identity again. If you're a new user, you'll have to create a new ID.me account or use your existing IRS username to access the IR Application for TCC.

  • You will be prompted to create a 5-digit PIN to sign the application if you haven't already done so.
