3.12.106.1.1 (01-01-2018)

Background

  1. Error Resolution is to resolve validity errors, field errors, consistency errors, and math errors in returns and other documents for posting to the Master File. Records fall out in Error Resolution System (ERS) due to the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF). The entries from transcription are transferred to ERS fields. The GMF programming causes a record to fall out to ERS if it fails to meet certain criteria, including:

    • Invalid characters in a field (e.g., numeric instead of alpha)

    • Invalid length of field (e.g., EIN with 8 digits instead of 9)

    • Invalid codes in field (valid Action Codes, Audit Codes, etc. are programmed in GMF)

    • Consistency errors - any valid field used in any computation where the result is inconsistent with (or contradictory to) any other valid field

    • Math errors - computer does math computation and it differs from the taxpayer’s amount, and invalid tax periods and eligibility for certain credits

    Employees use the ERS system and the return to correct these conditions and when necessary use Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) to research.

Interpretation Words

  1. The table lists Interpretation Words and their definitions.

    WordDefinitionExample of using a word that is open to interpretation ### Note: This column is for illustration purposes only.
    Error RegisterWhen the computer finds an error (consistency, math verification or validity) in the data input for a return. It generates an error registerA printed document which shows sections and fields corresponding to the information entered into the computer.
    SectionA portion of the returnEach section is numbered with a two-digit code beginning with 01.
    FieldAn item in a section on the returnUsually a line on the return.
    Alpha Field DesignatorThe first field of each section is designated the A field.Subsequent fields are designated B, C, D, etc.
    Field BreakersA symbol that shows the end of a field. By itself, it means there's no data entered into that field* Sometimes, a “+” (plus) or “-” (minus) is used for the field breaker to show that an amount is positive or negative. If it is necessary to change a field from a positive to a negative, enter a pound sign (#) at the end of the amount to tell ISRP to input the amount as negative. To change a field from negative to positive, use a comma (,) to alert Integrated Submission and Remittance Process. * A fixed length field does not have a field breaker. All spaces must be accounted for. When correcting a fixed length field, show the number of blanks to be used by writing and circling the number above the field.
    Document Locator Number (DLN)A DLN is given to each document processed in the Automatic Data Processing System and is used to find the document.As an organization, we distinguish between different types of returns by giving them specific tax classes and document codes.

    This is an Image: 33740002.gif

    Figure 3.12.106-1, Editing AC 3 to the left of Section 01. The name control underprint in Field 01B denotes the presence of incorrect information. The AC is entered by the examiner on the register to the left of the correct section (in this case, Section 01). ACs 0, 1, 3 and 7 may not be used at the same time as any other AC. The following list provides a description of the data contained in the following individual fields, respectively:Field 01-A, Remittance Amount, is blank.Field 01-B, Name Control/Name Control Underprint from Line 1a on Form 706-GS(D), have the name control WET. The underprint of Field 01-B shows the name control as WHEA, denoting that Field 01-B might be in error. However, since no line is drawn through the entry in Field 01-B and no corrected entry is edited above the entry in Field 01-B, the examiner cannot determine whether an error exists without performing name/TIN research.Field 01-C, Line 1b or 1c Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), have 000008715.Field 01-D, TIN Type (from the right margin of Line 1b on the return), is blank.Field 01-E, Tax Period (from the top margin of the return), have 201512, and have an asterisk, denoting that Field 01-E is in error.Field 01-F, Received Date (from the tax computation area of the return near the middle of the page of the return), have 20250415.Field 01-G, Computer Condition Code (CCC) , Field 01-H Penalty and Interest (P&I) Code.Field 01-I CAF Indicator).Field 01-J Correspondence Received Date.Field 01-K Entity Underprint Code.Field 01-L Taxpayer Notice Code are all blank.

    Figure 3.12.106-2 provides an example of the correction of Field E (Tax Period) with editing of the AC 6 onto the error register to the left of Section 01. The asterisk (*) preceding Field E denotes the presence of incorrect information. Field 01-E shows the tax period is 202511. However, the underprint beneath Field 01-E shows that the Fiscal Year Month is 12, not 11. A line is drawn through the error (i.e., 202511) and the corrected entry (202512) is edited above the incorrect entry in Field E. The AC is entered by the examiner on the register to the left of the proper section (in this case, Section 01).

Error Correction Rules

  1. Error Resolution tax examiners make corrections on the returns and registers. Make certain all entries are legible.

  2. Returns Secured or Prepared by Examination Division. To audit a taxpayer who has not filed an original return, Examination Division occasionally prepares returns or secures an unsigned copy from the taxpayer. The return is submitted for computer processing as an original. It will precede an AIMS (Audit Information Management System) adjustment to the BMF. It is marked SUBSTITUTE or COPY SECURED BY EXAMINATION DIVISION and may have audit papers attached. Forms you may see attached are: Form 3198, Special Handling Notice for Examination Case Processing, and Form 3233, Report of Gift Tax Examination.

    1. If there is a math error and taxpayer correspondence is required, AC 3 to Rejects for unprocessable conditions. Rejects will void the document from the system and send it to Examination Division for further processing.

    2. “DO NOT” correspond with the taxpayer or executor for clarification or more information.

3.12.106.2.5 (01-01-2016)

Validity Errors

  1. There are three general types of errors that will cause a record to print on the error register:

    1. "#1" - Split screen transmission. Key Verifier attempted to change the check digit or four or more digits in the TIN or Original Entry Operator entered required section as "missing" .

    2. "#3" - Invalid Section ending point.

    3. "#4" - Invalid field length (e.g., too many digits entered for field). See Figure 3.12.106-4, Submission Processing System Error.

    4. "#5" - Operator inputs the same section more than once. Computer program drops all duplicate sections and displays on the error register the first section encountered.

3.12.106.2.6 (01-01-2016)

Re-entry Documents

  1. This sub-section defines re-entry documents and provides instructions for their control and processing.

3.12.106.2.6.1 (01-01-2016)

Definitions of Re-entry Documents

  1. The following definitions describe re-entry documents:

    1. A document unprocessable after blocking and numbering, but which becomes processable after making corrections or additions.

      Note:

      A document discovered to be unprocessable before they are blocked and numbered but will not be considered to be a re-entry document when it is input after correction.

    2. Document did not post to Master File on input, but now is processable if re-entered.

    3. Document posted to wrong account or module on input and will post to correct account or module if re-entered.

3.12.106.2.6.2 (02-07-2025)

Identification of Re-entry Documents

  1. Re-entry documents can be identified by the presence of Computer Condition Codes (CCC) "U" , and/or Form 4227, Inter-SC Reject or Routing Slip on the document when it is received in Document Perfection, or by the presence of a Re-entry Document Control, Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control. Since June 2007, documents processed previously at Philadelphia Submission Processing Campus (PSPC) are processed at the Kansas City Submission Processing Center (KCSPC).

3.12.106.2.6.3 (02-07-2025)

Processing of Re-entry Documents

  1. If a re-entry return is unprocessable, use AC 3 and route to the originating area on Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, following local procedures. See IRM 3.12.106.2.3.4, AC 3, for unprocessable conditions.

3.12.106.2.7 (01-01-2017)

Correction of Invalid Correction Attempt

  1. "AA" will print to the right of the batch number on the loop register when the computer indicates an invalid correction attempt.

    1. Correct register as if no attempt has been made to correct it before. You should examine the prior correction.

    2. If all fields are correct as transcribed, use AC 7.

3.12.106.2.8 (02-20-2025)

Statute Control

  1. Any return with a received date that is two years and nine months or more after the return due date is a potential statute control return.

    Note:

    Any return that is a 2021 and Prior year original. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent Submission Processing (SP) and Accounts Management (AM) site closures, SP and AM developed procedures to bypass AM statute clearance and be processed. In addition, any 2021 and Prior year returns previously cleared by AM statute will not be returned by SP to AM to be cleared again if the 90 calendar day statute stamp has expired.

  2. Treat all statute control documents as unprocessable.

    1. Reject documents by using AC 3.

    2. Prepare Form 4227 Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, and route return to Statute Control Unit. See Figure 3.12.106-7, Barred Stature Preparations.

    Figure 3.12.106-7

    This is an Image: 33740008.gif

    Figure 3.12.106-7 displays examples of documents used with barred statute preparations: a paper Form 706-GS(D) for the barred tax period, a Reject or Routing Slip prepared for submission to Statute Control, and an error register showing the editing of the AC 3 to the left of Section 01 to reject the return as unprocessable. Note also Error Register Field 01-E (Tax Period) is asterisks (*). Also note that Error Register Field 01-F (Received Date) should also be asterisks (although in this figure Field 01 F is not shown with an asterisk).

    Please click here for the text description of the image.

  3. Enter CCC "W" if the return is stamped "Cleared by Statute" , so checks will not be made on returns already cleared.

  4. If it appears that a rejected document will not reach the Statute Control Unit in time for clearance, photocopy page one of the returns, stamp "Photocopy-Do Not Process" , and expedite, forwarding to the Statute Control Unit using local procedures.

  5. If the document was received timely, and the return is being processed within 34 months of the due date of the original return, delete CCC "W" whether or not Statute Control has cleared the document.

3.12.106.2.8.1 (02-20-2025)

Non "G" Coded Returns

  1. If there is a return that has not cleared the Statute Control Unit with a current processing date that is two years and nine months or more after the later of the original due date or the received date, reject the return, using AC 3. Prepare Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip and route the return to the Statute Control Unit.

    Note:

    Any return that is a 2021 and Prior year original. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent Submission Processing (SP) and Accounts Management (AM) site closures, SP and AM developed procedures to bypass AM statute clearance and be processed. In addition, any 2021 and Prior year returns previously cleared by AM statute will not be returned by SP to AM to be cleared again if the 90 - Calendar day statute stamp has expired.

  2. The tax period (Field 01-E) will asterisk for Statute. Check if the processing date is two years and nine months after the return due date or received date, whichever is later, and CCC "W" is not present.

3.12.106.2.8.2 (02-20-2025)

CCC "G" Returns

  1. If there is a return that has not cleared the Statute Control Unit with a current processing date that is two years and nine months or more after the later of the original due date or the received date, reject the return, using AC3. Prepare Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip and route the return to the Statute Control Unit.

    Note:

    Any return that is a 2021 and Prior year original. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent Submission Processing (SP) and Accounts Management (AM) site closures, SP and AM developed procedures to bypass AM statute clearance and be processed. In addition, any 2021 and Prior year returns previously cleared by AM statute will not be returned by SP to AM to be cleared again if the 90 - Calendar day statute stamp has expired.

  2. On both non-CCC "G" and CCC "G" coded returns, both the tax period (Field 01-E) and CCC field (Field 01-F) will asterisk if the processing date is less than two years after the return due date and a CCC "W" is present.

3.12.106.2.8.3 (01-01-2018)

Returns Secured or Prepared by Examination Division

  1. Examination Division may prepare dummy returns or secure unsigned copies from taxpayers to use as a source document to complete an examination case. The return is submitted for computer processing as an original. It will precede an AIMS adjustment to the BMF. It is marked "SUBSTITUTE OR COPY SECURED BY EXAMINATION DIVISION" , and may have audit papers attached. Forms you may see attached are: Form 3198, Special Handling Notice for Examination Case Processing, and Form 3233, Report of Gift Tax Examination. "DO NOT" correspond with taxpayer or executor for clarification or more information. Send to Examination for further instructions. If Statute Control Date has expired, do not send to Statute Control Unit. Enter CCC "W" .

3.12.106.2.9 (01-10-2025)

Accounts Receivable Guidelines

  1. To keep the amount owed, we must minimize the number of unresolved large dollar debit and credit modules/issues in inventory. Therefore, consistent with prevailing guidelines and other processing timeliness requirements (i.e., first-in, first-out), resolve all modules/issues with balances or refunds of $25,000 or more as soon as possible.

  2. Each region annually identifies complex BMF entities such as large dollar accounts, federal agencies, or entities which have a history of complex issues. A "Large Complex Corporation" indicator will be set on the BMF to alert the Submission Processing Centers when a notice has been generated on these accounts. This replaces the previous "L" Coded Corporate Processing activity.

  3. A "Large Corp. CD" indicator will appear on IDRS, and all applicable Master File transcripts, under ENMOD and TXMOD. The CD field will be overlaid by the campus location code (i.e., LARGE CORP. 17). These notices will be routed to the Technical Unit (or designated function) for review before being sent to the taxpayer. When this indicator is identified, employees should coordinate their case with the Technical Unit (or designated function) prior to taking any action.

  4. They are also monitoring large dollar cases identified on the Accounts Receivable "Large Dollar Trend Record" (LDTR) report. Cases listed on the LDTR report may include the Large Complex Corporation code, so the region may contact the Technical Unit (or designated function) to determine the current status of the account/module.

3.12.106.2.10 (01-01-2017)

Business Master File On-Line (BMFOL) and Business Return View (BRTVU)

  1. You can research Master File accounts and return data with Business Master File On-Line (BMFOL) and Business Return View (BRTVU).

  2. Since Master File does not carry all information available on the IDRS screen displays (IDRS notice status, case control information, pending transactions, etc.), you must research IDRS using BMFOL or BRTVU. Also, if you cannot use BMFOL or BRTVU, then use IDRS input command codes that will cause a change to Master File.

  3. Use these command codes to research entity and/or tax data which may not be available on IDRS.

  4. BMFOL provides screen displays from BMF data based on an input definer code. For more information on screen displays and applicable definer codes, see IRM 2.3, IDRS Terminal Responses.

  5. BRTVU gets data from the Return Transaction File (RTF). It will give you all edited, transcribed, and error corrected data from data entry lines of related forms and schedules filed in the current processing year including late filed returns and two prior years. BRTVU needs a definer to get a particular screen and has a summary screen for each return.

3.12.106.2.10.1 (01-01-2017)

BMF Consistency

  1. The purpose of this initiative is to achieve consistency in the Business Master File Error Resolution System (ERS) processing IRMs.

  2. Topics for the Business Master File consistency have been identified and developed as a coordinated effort between Kansas City, Ogden and Return Processing Branch BMF Code & Edit/ERS Section.

  3. IRM 3.12.106 is exempt from BMF Consistency Guidelines, (for example indicating diamonds) as shown in other sections of IRM 3.12, Error Resolution.

  4. Text in normal print is the common process for Business Master File returns. The text in BOLD print is Form specific and applies to this IRM only.

3.12.106.2.13 (01-01-2025)

Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)

  1. The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate, that helps taxpayers and protects taxpayer rights. TAS offers free help to taxpayers when a tax problem is causing a financial difficulty, when they’ve tried and been unable to resolve their issue with the IRS, or when they believe an IRS system, process, or procedure just isn't working as it should. TAS strives to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

  2. TAS uses Form 12412 Operations Assistance Request (OAR) to start the OAR process of referring a case to the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division to effect the resolution of the taxpayer’s problem. For more information refer to IRM 13.1.19, Taxpayer Advocate Service, Taxpayer Advocate Case Procedures, Advocating. With Operations Assistance Request (OARs).

  3. Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria or when Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (and Application for Taxpayer Assistance Order), is attached and steps cannot be taken to resolve the taxpayer's issue the same day.

  4. The definition of "same day resolution" is within 24 hours. The following two situations meet the definition of "same day resolution" :

    • The issue can be resolved within 24 hours.

    • Take steps within 24 hours to resolve the taxpayer’s issue.

  5. When making a TAS referral, use Form 911 and forward to TAS in following your local procedures.

  6. See IRM 13.1.7.6, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria for same day resolution, for more information.

3.12.106.2.13.1 (01-01-2025)

Taxpayer Advocate Service - Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

  1. The National Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners of the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE), Tax Exempt Government Entities (TEGE) Division, Criminal Investigation (CI), Appeals, and Large Business and International (LB&I) Division, that outline the procedures and responsibilities for the processing of Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) casework when either the statutory or delegated authority to complete case transactions rests outside of TAS. These agreements were known as Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

  2. The SLAs are found at TAS Service Level Agreements.

3.12.106.2.14 (01-03-2024)

Employee Contacts

  1. The Internal Revenue Service () Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98), Section 3705(a) gives identification requirements for all employees working tax-related matters.

  2. All employees who communicate by telephone, face-to-face, or any other method of correspondence with taxpayers or their personal representatives on tax-related matters must give (at a minimum) the following information:

    1. Telephone Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name and badge identification (ID Card) number. Toll-free employees may also give their location for identification purposes. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information.

    2. Face-to-Face Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), give as appropriate during the conversation, their last name and badge identification (ID Card) number.

    3. Correspondence (sent to the taxpayer and authorized representatives) - A telephone number that taxpayers can call for answers to questions. In addition, manually generated correspondence must have the employee's title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name, Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) number, and letter system number, which are systemically generated by IDRS. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information.

    4. Correspondex letters - Specific employee name and telephone number if the employee initiating the correspondence is in the best position to respond to any questions the taxpayer may have or if the taxpayer is being asked to give more case-related information. If the taxpayer does not need to contact a specific employee, the correspondence needs only an telephone number and standard signature.

  3. When a taxpayer requests to speak with a specific employee who previously worked their inquiry or request, or complains about the level of service previously given, make every attempt to resolve the taxpayer's inquiry. If unable to resolve the issue, refer the inquiry using established procedures to the manager.

  4. Secretaries, receptionists, or other people who answer the telephone in functional offices need to identify themselves. They should provide their badge identification (ID Card) number only if they are answering telephones which are routinely used to give tax or account information.

  5. It is not necessary to repeat the badge identification (ID Card) number on a subsequent contact, when the nature of an employee's work involves multiple contacts with the same taxpayer and the employee has given the taxpayer (either by telephone or in-person) their badge identification (ID Card) number on the first contact.

3.12.106.2.15 (01-01-2022)

Criminal Investigation (CI) Referral

  1. Criminal Investigation (CI) investigates potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and related financial crimes. Criminal violations of the IRC are willful attempts to evade or defeat the income tax. Criminal tax violations also include the willful failure to pay taxes due and/or taxes collected or withheld and false claims for refunds based on bogus return information.

  2. If CI has stamped the return, do not send for further CI action.

  3. For returns with refund claims, do the following:

    Caution:

    If there is no sign Code and Edit (C&E) made a copy and sent to Criminal Investigation Referral, then see below.

    ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

  4. Because of the repetitive nature of the ERS/Rejects function, ERS/Rejects Tax Examining Technicians often recognize income tax return data which is outside of the norm for data found on similar returns for each income tax return type. If ERS finds return characteristics not meeting Audit Code or Exam referral criteria it deems suspicious, CI is available to review the referral.

  5. If a suspicious return is found, and there is no sign Code and Edit (C&E) made a copy and sent to CI Referral, then, do the following:

    1. Make a copy of the first two pages of the tax return along with any page of the return that appears suspicious.

    2. Attach Form 4227 Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip to the copy.

    3. Route the copy as shown in the table below.

      CI Referral Routing

      OgdenKansas City
      Mail Stop 9001, Criminal Investigation (CI)Mail Stop S2 9000, Criminal Investigation (CI)

       

    4. Edit an action trail "Copy to CI" , or "CI Referral" , or similar language in the lower left corner going vertically up the side of the return.

    5. Continue processing the return

  6. If the return fits other criteria (e.g., Frivolous Argument), take proper action.

3.12.106.2.16 (01-01-2022)

Examination (Exam) "Funny Box"

  1. The primary goal in identifying tax returns for examination is to promote the highest degree of voluntary compliance. Examination gives support and helps Submission Processing (SP) with any questionable return found during processing. Exam has a vast multitude of programs and tolerance criteria already found in several IRM sections. SP can refer any questionable return to Exam, unless prohibited by instructions currently found in several IRM’s.

3.12.106.2.17 (01-01-2024)

Business Master File (BMF) Identity (ID) Theft

  1. BMF (ID) Theft is increasing. If a case is found with attachments or correspondence showing the taxpayer is a victim of "ID Theft" :

    1. Enter Action Code 3 and reject the record.

    2. Attach Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, (or other proper routing slips) and give the entire case to the lead/manager.

  2. The lead/manager will expedite the case to the Planning and Analysis (P & A) staff for referral to one of the Submission Processing ID Theft liaisons. The taxpayer must show that they were a victim of "ID Theft" ; do "not" send cases that are subject to Criminal Investigation (CI), Examination (Exam) or Fraud review.

3.12.106.2.18 (01-01-2025)

Use of Fax for Taxpayer Submissions

  1. Taxpayers may send tax return information via fax as part of return perfection even when submitting a signature. In circumstances where contact with the taxpayer was made and documented, "faxed signatures are acceptable" . For more information about accepting signed taxpayer documents by fax, see the most recent revision of the Policy for Use of Fax.

  2. Contact with the taxpayer may be by telephone or correspondence. Follow local procedures to decide which method of contact to use.

  3. Indicate the fax paragraph on the “approved” Correspondence Action Sheet to inform the taxpayer of the fax options.

  4. Use the following resources to make sure you are speaking with the taxpayer or authorized representative before disclosing any tax information:

    • IRM 21.1.3.2.3, Required Taxpayer Authentication

    • IRM 21.1.3.2.4, Additional Taxpayer Authentication

  5. Before leaving any messages on a taxpayer's answering machine, review:

    • IRM 10.5.1.6.7.2, Answering Machine or Voice mail

Field 01-A, Remittance Amount

  1. You cannot change this field. If the amount is incorrect, treat the return and related error record as unprocessable. Reject with AC 3 and prepare Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, to explain the error. The Reject function will prepare Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control, for re-entry.

  2. The Remittance Amount is located on the Balance Due line of a full paid return and is designated by a green rocker.

  4. Field 01-A (Remittance Amount) will asterisk if an amount is present in Field 01-A and there is no entry in Field 03-H (Net GST Tax), or Net GST Tax Computer. If the return is a true nontaxable, (i.e., taxpayer shows "none" , "not liable" , tax is zero due to a math error, or just signs the return) and no other non-math errors are involved, treat return as "unprocessable" . Bring up the underprint for Field 03-H. Reject with AC 3. Indicate excess remittance on Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip. If non-tax status is due to a math error, note on Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, Zero tax due to math error. Refund if no other tax due.

3.12.106.3.1.3 (01-01-2016)

Valid characters after the first position may be alpha, hyphen or blank. The name control is invalid if there are intervening blanks between significant characters.

  2. Check for transcription errors in the name control field.

    1. If the name control on the return and Field 01-B (Name Control) do not agree or are transcribed incorrectly, change Field 01-B.

    2. If it is not an obvious error, research through INOLE/ENMOD for the SSN/EIN and NAMEI/NAMEB for the name line.

    3. If the correction entry is less than four characters, enter and circle the number of the remaining positions.

    4. Check Field 01-D (TIN Type) to ensure the correct TIN type were entered. Correct the field if necessary.

3.12.106.3.1.3.1 (01-01-2016)

Check Digits

    1. Compare the entries in Field 01-B and Field 01-C to the name control, the taxpayer's last name, and the SSN/EIN on the return.

    2. If the name control is edited or transcribed incorrectly, correct Field 01-B and/or return.

    3. If the SSN/EIN is edited or transcribed incorrectly, correct Field 01-C and/or return.

    4. If the SSN/EIN is transcribed correctly and the name control is invalid, research, using INOLE/ENMOD for the SSN/EIN and NAMEI/NAMEB for the name line.

  5. If the SSN/EIN is correct, and the reason why the name control is invalid is obvious (misspelling), correct Field 01-B and the return. If the reason is not obvious, see below.

    1. If the SSN/EIN is not correct, but a correct SSN/EIN is found through NAMEI/NAMEB, check INOLE/ENMOD, using definer V and/or W if SSN, for an established (or pending) account. If none, reject with AC 3. If an account is established on INOLES or pending on ENMOD, correct Field 01-C on the register and the return.

    2. If a correct SSN/EIN is not found through NAMEI/NAMEB, use AC 3 and Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip to send to Entity for valid EIN/SSN.

    3. If Field 01-B under prints with "XXXX" , or the taxpayer's last name has changed for whatever reason, reject using AC 3 to Entity. If TIN is an SSN, send to Entity so they can input a TC 000 to establish the account or a TC 013 to change the taxpayer's name.

    4. Once a name change is returned from Entity, enter "1" in Field 01-K (Entity Underprint Code).

    5. If, after research, the name control (Field 01-B) and the month of the tax period (Field 01-E) were correct and the under prints differ, enter a "3" in Field 01-K (Entity Underprint Code) to clear both underprint’s.

  6. Suspense Correction:

    1. If the register returns on loop as having an invalid SSN/EIN, use AC 9 to re-establish the account as a raw register.

    2. After the account is reestablished, forward to Entity using Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip.

Valid characters after the first position may be alpha, hyphen or blank. The name control is invalid if there are intervening blanks between significant characters.

  2. Check for transcription errors in the name control field.

  3. If the name control on the return and Field 01-B do not agree or has been transcribed incorrectly, change Field 01-B.

  4. If it is not an obvious error, research through Command Code (CC) INOLE/ENMOD for EIN and CC NAMEE/NAMEB for the correct name control.

  5. If found enter in Field 01-B with Action Code 6. If entry is less than four characters, enter and circle the number of the remaining positions.

3.12.106.4.1.3.1 (01-01-2016)

Check Digits

  1. The name control is being cross-checked against the Entity Index File (EIF). When there is a match against the EIF, you will get check digits in this field. If there is no match, the name control will show in this field.

  2. Check digits will be invalid if the first two positions are not blank and if the third and fourth positions are not alpha characters. The computer will do other checks for the validity of these letters.

  3. If the check digits are invalid, enter the name control (first four letters of the taxpayer's surname) in Field 01-B.

    1. If the name control is edited or transcribed incorrectly, correct Field 01-B and/or return.

    2. If the SSN/EIN is edited or transcribed incorrectly, correct Field 01-C and/or return.

  4. If the SSN/EIN is transcribed correctly and the name control is invalid, research using INOLE/ENMOD for the EIN and NAMEE/NAMEB for the name line.

    1. If the EIN is correct and the reason why the name control is invalid is obvious (misspelling), correct Field 01-B and the return.

    2. If the SSN/EIN is not correct, but a SSN/EIN is found through NAMEB/NAMEE, check INOLE/ENMOD, using definer V, for an established (or pending) account. If an account is established or pending, correct Field 01-B and/or Field 01-C on the register and the return.

    3. If a correct SSN/EIN is not found through NAMEB/NAMEE, use AC 3 to send to Entity for further research using Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip for additional research.

    4. If Entity finds or establishes an EIN enter the EIN and/or name control in correct fields on the register.

    5. If a new EIN/SSN is found in research that is different from the original EIN/SSN filed on the Form 706, United States Estate and (Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return, (or, if the return has no TIN originally), issue Letter 3875, Missing or Incorrect EIN or Return - BMF/EPMF, to inform the taxpayer of their TIN assignment or correction.

  5. If Field 01-B under prints with "XXXX" , or the taxpayer's last name has changed for whatever reason, use AC 3 to send to Entity, using Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip for a name change.

  6. Once a name change is returned from Entity, enter "1" in Field 01-K (Entity Underprint Code).

    Note:

    Make sure the name control will be correct, if not then correct accordingly

  7. If after research, the name control (Field 01-B) and the month of the tax period (Field 01-E) were correct and the underprint’s differ, enter a "3" in Field 01-K (Entity Underprint Code) to clear both underprint’s.

  8. Suspense Correction:

    1. If the register returns on loop as having an invalid EIN, use AC 9 to reestablish the account as a raw register.
