Selecting files

On the Select Files step, select the IRS-compliant 1099 XML files to transmit. Each file is validated as you add it; only files that pass validation are included.

Adding files

  • Browse: Click the drop zone to open the "Select IRS XML Files" dialog, then select one or more XML files.
  • Drag and drop: Drag XML files onto the drop zone. Files that are not .xml are rejected.

    The drop zone notes the IRS limit of 100 MB per file.

Validation

Each file is checked as it is added:

  • Files larger than 100 MB are rejected.
  • Duplicate files are skipped.
  • The file must be valid XML and contain the expected IRS IRIS elements (for example, the transmission, manifest, and submission groups).

Results appear in two cards:

  • Validated and ready: Lists each accepted file with its name and file size. Use the Remove button on a row to drop a single file.
  • Failed validation: Lists each rejected file with the specific reasons it failed. Use Dismiss to clear the rejected list.

The status bar reports the outcome of each add, for example "Added 3 files. 3 total." or "Added 2, rejected 1 (failed validation). 2 total."

Proceeding

When at least one file is accepted, use Clear All to start over, or Next: Authenticate to continue.
