Create Record formats for IRS 1220

[wadearnold]

The IRS defines an electronic ASCII format for filling documents through their FIRE system. The FIRE system is used to automate the traditional paper process for paper or PDF forms. The Publication 1220 is the standard for IRS forms 1097,1098,1099,3921,3922,5498 and W-2g and their variations. Our initial efforts are focusing on 1099 specifically on 1099-MISC &1099-NEC, and 1099-INT & 1099-OID.

Our design goal is that irs.1099MISC datatype will have the ability to take a JSON representation as input and utilize the 1220 record types to output a 1099MISC ASCII file ready for upload to the FIRE server. The data types, record size, and formats for validation of publication are located in Part C | Record Format Specifications and Record Layouts. on page 45. Basic inputs represented in JSON format are in the Data folder of this project.
