High-severity wildfire is occurring at striking rates in Sierra Nevada forests. On top of all-hazard emergency and fire response, CAL FIRE is implementing proven fire-prevention strategies, working to enforce sustainable logging practices, and reforesting woodlands after catastrophic events.
Final regulations for the Taxpayer First Act, provision 2301, were issued February 21, 2023, by the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. Treasury Decision (TD) 9972 amends the rules for filing returns and other documents electronically (e-file). These regulations reduce the 250-return threshold to generally require electronic filing by filers of 10 or more returns in a calendar year beginning in 2024, tax year 2023. For tax year 2022, the number of returns remains at 250. Details on this regulation can be found here: IRS and Treasury final regulations on e-file.
As part of the threshold reduction, corrected information returns MUST be filed electronically if the original return was submitted electronically. Corrected information returns are not counted when calculating the aggregate to determine if you are required to file electronically.
If you experience a hardship that prevents you from complying with the threshold reduction, you can submit a Form 8508, Application for a Waiver from Electronic Filing of Information ReturnsPDF. If you are new to electronic filing, you may want to consider using the new 1099 taxpayer portal that provides a no-cost option for electronic filing of the Form 1099 series returns.
Note: The FIRE systems (production and test) have regularly scheduled maintenance windows every Sunday from 2 a.m. Eastern time to 8 a.m. Eastern time and Wednesday from 2 a.m. Eastern time to 5 a.m. Eastern time.
Before applying, please review Publication 5911, Information Returns (IR) Application for Transmitter Control Code (TCC) TutorialPDF, which provides step-by-step instructions for applying for an IR Application TCC.
Any entity that needs to file information returns can file electronically via the FIRE system. Any corporation, partnership, employer, estate or trust that files 250 or more information returns for any calendar year must file electronically. We encourage filers who have less than 250 information returns to file electronically as well. For information about coming change refer to Reduction in the electronic filing threshold beginning Tax Year 2023 (Calendar Year 2024).
Apply online for the TCC required to access the FIRE system. The TCC is a 5-character code that identifies the business submitting the electronic files. Apply through the information return application for TCC.
If your TCC was issued prior to September 26, 2021, and the steps above did not work, contact the RO and ask them to submit an IR-TCC application with the correct legal business name and current information.
The main role of the contact is to transmit electronic files and monitor the file statuses on behalf of the businesses. To fulfill this role the RO must provide the contact with the following information so they can create their FIRE account.
The RO listed on the application may create a FIRE Account but are not required to if they will not be transmitting the electronic returns for the business.
The FIRE account provides login credentials needed to submit files electronically, and includes the following:
If you have a FIRE system account (production or test) with an established secret phrase and forgot your password, you may reset your password by using your established secret phrase. The password cannot be changed more than 1 time in a 24-hour period.
If necessary, seek assistance from your internal IT department to make sure your browser is configured to the FIRE system Internet Security Technical Standards located in the Publications listed above.
If you need to request a 30-day non-automatic extension of time for Form W-2, Form 1099-NEC, or an additional 30-day extension for any other form type these requests must be submitted on paper Form 8809. Follow the form instructions and mail to the address provided.
If you think you will not be able to meet your electronic filing requirement you may request a waiver. Waivers are not automatically accepted. If accepted they are only good for the current filing year. The waiver requests do not have an electronic filing option and must be submitted on paper Form 8508PDF following the instructions provided on the form.
The Technical Services Operation (TSO) is available to payers, transmitters, and employers at the numbers listed below. When you call you will be provided guidance to essential elements pertaining to technical aspects for electronic filing through the FIRE systems, self-help resources, and referrals to tax law topics on IRS.gov.

California State Fire Training (SFT) is the OSFM division that establishes, develops, and delivers standardized training and education for the California fire service. The State Fire Training website serves as a valuable resource and a one-stop-shop for all things related to the State Fire Training. Check this website regularly as content is updated periodically or follow us on social media.
Starting July 1, 2024, State Fire Training (SFT) will be moving to a new process for returning course rosters and generating and paying invoices. The registered instructor will enroll students directly into the course via their portal and the user portal will generate the invoice electronically once the submission has been approved. SFT expects this new process will reduce the amount of time from roster submission to receiving an invoice for the course. Pilot testing is underway and full information guides are now available on the Course Delivery Webpage.
In preparation for the new feature, it is recommended that persons responsible for paying invoices on behalf of an agency create an SFT ID and portal account, then submit a request to be added to an organization's record as an approved invoice payor.
See the SFT User Portal WebForms page to access both the SFT ID Request form and the Agency Billing Contact Request form.

I cant seem to set any app or user metadata when signing up a user, and looking at the logs the rules is not firing at all. Only when I call the webauth.client.login will the rules fire, and not on webauth.signup.
Yes, that is expected. Rules execute after the initial authentication step is completed; for a database connection user that would mean that the user provided correct credentials (username/email and password); they do not execute at user signup.
