Submitting files

DRS accepts prior year and corrected files.
A TCC is NOT required. If you don't have a TCC enter 5 zeros for the TCC on the Transmitter Screen. The TCC will be formatted as blanks in the file.

If filing electronically, first determine whether you will file as a Tax Preparer for multiple employers in one file (requires registration as a Third Party Bulk Filer), or as an Employer/Payer.

Once all Forms 1099 or W-2G are successfully uploaded you will then need to upload the Form CT-1096 to complete the CT-1096/1099 upload process.
