    My user wants to run AP146 to produce the 1099 electronic file and send to the IRS to insure that the files meet their standards.

    Does anybody run AP146 and send the file to IRS? Do you FTP the file or upload it manually? Is there a specific development department we should contact for testing the file?

    I googled form 4419 and I think I got my answer.

    http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1220.pdf

    Contact the IRS
    1-866-455-7438
    1-304-263-8700 (International)
    1-304-579-4827 for Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD)
    The IRS address for filing information returns electronically is https://fire.irs.gov/. The address to send a test file electronically is https://
    fire.test.irs.gov.

      After the file is produced it needs to be reformatted to a file length of 750:
      cnvexp –f (file name) 750 > AP146XXX201X.txt
      The you need to go to fire.test.irs.gov and register, send your test files, and a couple of days later they will send you the results of your test.

          Is reformatting the file still relevant ? I created and sent the AP146 to the IRS and received several times, bad files. How must the files be resaved, ie: format I can pass along to my IT department. (I am the user)

            You still have to format it so there is a carriage return/line feed at the end of each record. The record is still 750 characters. You can use the command mentioned in the previous post to do that.
