IRS expands e-filing requirements for businesses: See what forms are included for 2024

Due to new IRS regs, employers will be subject to stricter e-filing requirements in 2024. Find out what’s coming and check out the list of forms.

When the Service released final regs on February 23, 2023, it came as a surprise that the e-filing threshold would drop suddenly to 10 returns.

You may recall that, under proposed regs issued July 23, 2021, the plan was to decrease the threshold gradually – from 250 returns, to 100, to 10.

But that’s not how the situation unfolded.

The sudden decrease in the e-filing threshold will require quick action on your part. The change will be on your plate starting in calendar year 2024.

There’s another dimension to the final regs which – although not a surprise – will pose challenges for employers. Specifically, businesses will need to aggregate forms to determine if they’ve met the 10-return threshold for electronic filing.

Proactive, internal communication will be key for businesses, in light of the aggregation rule. After all, various departments may carry the responsibility for submitting these returns.

Forms to aggregate under e-filing rule

Which forms must employers include to comply with the new aggregation rule for e-filing?

We’ve created this checklist for you.

Count the number of returns you must file for each form on this list. If you reach 10 returns, that means you’ll need to e-file all the forms on the list starting in calendar year 2024, according to the final IRS regs.

These are the forms:

  • 1042-S, Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding

Platforms for electronic filing

The lower e-filing threshold, set to take effect for Tax Year 2023, is possible in part due to the new Information Returns Intake System (IRIS). As brought about by the Taxpayer First Act, IRS first got this platform for e-filing 1099s up and running for Tax Year 2022.

IRIS was modeled after Business Services Online, which employers use to e-file W-2s with the Social Security Administration.
