POSTED(fire.irs.gov): The FIRE System will be unavailable from Thursday July 29th at 6:00PM, until Wednesday, August 4th at 9:00AM. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We talked to Vicki, a FIRE system rep and she told us that there were unforeseen problems, so the system is not available. When the system comes back up on Tuesday, there will be a statement that there will be an extension to transmit late original and corrections by 8/06/2010 without an increase to the penalty.
The FIRE (Filing Information Returns Electronically) system is set up for financial institutions and others to file Information Return Forms 1042-S, 1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, 5498, 8027, 8935, or W-2G. An Information Return is a tax document used to report certain types of payments made by financial institutions and others who make payments as a part of their trade or business as required by Internal Revenue Code regulations.
