A red asterisk (*) indicates a required field or selection.

Transmitter Control Code *

Enter the IRS-assigned transmitter control code for your business. Refer to Transmitter Concepts and Processes for more information.

For a single tax association, set up one federal tax identification number and one transmitter control code.

For multiple tax associations, set up several federal tax identification numbers, adding the same transmitter control code on each federal tax identification number.

Refer to Reporting Only on Paper for information on setting up a dummy transmitter control code. A dummy code allows you to produce 1099 forms using the system and GEMM, but ignore magnetic media production.

Federal Tax ID *

Enter the IRS-assigned federal tax identification number for the company you are associating with the transmitter control code. Federal tax identification numbers are established on the Company Tab Setup.

This option defaults as unchecked. Accept this default if your business is domestic.

Click this option to add a checkmark if your business is foreign.
