What are the IRS Efile requirements for 2024?
Drenen Financial Services: Your Ally in Adapting to the 2024 E-Filing Mandates
In a significant move to modernize tax filing, the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service have issued final regulations that transform the landscape of electronic filing (e-file). Starting from 2024, these changes will impact a broad spectrum of filers, including partnerships, corporate entities, and more. Drenen Financial Services is here to guide you through this transition, ensuring you stay compliant and efficient.
Key Changes to Note:
- Lowered Threshold for E-Filing: The previous requirement for electronic filing if you had 250 or more returns has been substantially reduced. Now, if you file 10 or more returns in a calendar year, you’re required to e-file. This change brings more filers into the electronic realm, aiming for a streamlined process.
- Aggregation of Returns: Unlike before, almost all types of information returns are aggregated to determine if you meet the 10-return threshold. This holistic approach contrasts with the previous method where the 250-return threshold was applied separately for each type of return.
- No More Exceptions for Smaller Corporations: The exemption for income tax returns of corporations with assets under $10 million at the end of the tax year has been removed. This means more corporations will now be required to e-file.
- Partnership Filing Requirements: Partnerships with over 100 partners are now mandated to e-file information returns. Additionally, partnerships that file 10 or more returns of any type during the calendar year must e-file their partnership return.
To assist businesses, particularly small ones, the IRS has launched a new, free online portal – the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS). This user-friendly service is designed to make e-filing Form 1099 series information returns effortless and secure.
