Information returns are filed electronically through the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system. Go to IRS.gov/FIRE for more information. See Pub. 1239 for more information about filing Form 8027 electronically. We encourage you to file electronically even if you’re not required to file 10 or more information returns.
- You must check either the “Yes” or “No” box under the employer’s name and address to indicate whether or not the establishment accepts credit cards, debit cards, or other charges. If the “Yes” box is checked, lines 1 and 2 of Form 8027 must be completed, and you must enter an amount, even if zero, on lines 1 and 2. Also see the instructions for lines 1 and 2.
