Program Scope and Objectives

1. This IRM section provides instructions for Taxpayer Services Error Resolution Tax Examiners to correct errors for Form 1120-S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation. For tax years before 2018, the form number was Form 1120S. In May 2019, the form number was changed to Form 1120-S due to Tax Forms and Publications hyphen standardization.

2. Purpose: The Error Resolution System (ERS) resolves errors made by taxpayers and during campus processing.

3. Audience: Tax Examiners in the Input Correction Operation and Error Resolution Section, including:

   • Tax Examining Technicians

   • Lead Tax Examining Technicians

   • Supervisory Tax Examining Assistants

4. Policy Owner: Director, Submission Processing.

5. Program Owner: Return Processing Branch, Business Master File (BMF) Section.

6. Primary Stakeholders: Other areas that may be affected by these procedures include (but are not limited to):

7. Program Goals: Ensure necessary action is taken on the return and attachments for correct posting of data.

3.12.217.1.1 (01-01-2022)

Background

1. The purpose of Error Resolution is to resolve validity, field, consistency, and math errors in returns and other documents for posting to the Master File. Returns fall out in Error Resolution System (ERS) due to the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF). The entries from transcription are transferred to ERS fields. GMF programming causes a return to fall out to ERS if it does not meet certain criteria, including:

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

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

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

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

   • Math Error - The computer does a math computation, and it differs from the taxpayer’s amount

   • Invalid Tax Period and eligibility for certain credits

2. Employees use ERS to correct these conditions and use IDRS to research.

3.12.217.2.5 (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 affect 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 Requests (OARs).

3. Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria (see IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case 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 taxpayers issue the same day. IRM 21.1.3.18, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Guidelines.

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.

   • The IRS takes steps within 24 hours to resolve the taxpayer’s issue.

5. When making a TAS referral, use Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (And Application for Taxpayer Assistance order), and forward to TAS following your local procedures.

6. For more information, see IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria, and IRM 13.1.7.4, Exceptions to Taxpayer Advocate Service Criteria, for information on cases that TAS will no longer accept.

3.12.217.2.5.1 (01-01-2025)

♦TAS - Service Level Agreements (SLA)♦

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

2. The SLAs are found at Taxpayer Advocate Service.

3.12.217.2.6 (01-01-2024)

Business Master File (BMF) Identity (ID) Theft

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

   1. SSPND with Action Code "360" to route the return to Planning and Analysis (P&A).

   2. Attach Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, (or other proper routing slip) with the notation "ID THEFT" .

   3. Give the entire case to the manager/lead.

2. The manager/lead will expedite the case to the P&A staff for referral to one of the SP BMF ID Theft Liaisons. The taxpayer must show that they are a victim of "ID Theft;" do not refer cases that are subject to Criminal Investigation (CI), Examination (Exam), or Fraud review.

3. Effective January 1, 2017, Computer Condition Code "E" may be edited on Form 1120-S (any year) by the BMF ID Theft Liaison to identify a potential identify theft filing.

3.12.217.2.7 (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 include willful attempts to evade or defeat the income tax. Criminal tax violations also include the willful failure to collect or pay over tax 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 of ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, do the following:

   Caution:

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

   Refund Claim

   Ogden and Kansas City

   ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡,

   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 to Ogden, Mail Stop 9001, 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.

4. Because of the repetitive nature of the ERS/Rejects function, ERS/Rejects Tax Examining Technicians often recognize income tax return data that are 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 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.

      Ogden	Kansas 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.

3.12.217.2.8 (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 IRMs.

3.12.217.2.9 (01-01-2023)

♦Frivolous Arguments♦

1. Businesses use frivolous arguments for expressing dissatisfaction with the substance, form, or administration of the tax laws by trying to illegally avoid or reduce tax liabilities. See IRM 25.25.10, Frivolous Return Program, and Exhibit 3.12.217-23, Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review, for a list of recognized frivolous arguments made by businesses.

2. Review the return to decide whether it appears to be a frivolous return.

   If	Then
   The return meets any of the conditions shown as a frivolous return (see Exhibit 3.12.217-23, Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review), ### Exception: If the return shows Action Code "331" and has a Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject Routing Slip, attached with the remarks, "Refer to Exam FRP for audit after processing" , continue to the next procedure.	Remove return from the batch and place the return in the locally designated basket for Examination, Frivolous Return Program (FRP) for review.
   Examination has selected the return as frivolous, shown by an Action Code "331" and a Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, with the remarks "Refer to Exam FRP for audit after processing" ,	Continue processing the return. However, do not circle or void the Action Code showing a frivolous return.

3. Do not consider the following returns as frivolous, unless there is other evidence of a frivolous argument:

   • Returns that have only zeros, blanks, or no entries.

   • Returns showing "None" , "Not Liable" , etc.

3.12.217.2.10 (01-01-2024)

♦IRS Employee Contacts♦

1. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, (RRA98), Section 3705(a) gives identification requirements for all IRS employees working tax-related matters.

2. All IRS 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 correct 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 IRS 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, try to resolve the taxpayer’s inquiry. If unable to resolve, 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 telephone or in-person) their badge identification (ID Card) number on the first contact.

3.12.217.2.11 (01-01-2024)

♦Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2♦

1. The Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2 Program Office in Headquarters is charged with the primary goal of implementing a single, modernized programming solution that gives daily processing of taxpayer accounts.

2. The CADE 2 solution is comprised of several components, to modernize the IRS to a daily processing environment with several Transition States.

3. The Business Master File (BMF) campus cycles are:

   1. Campus Cycle: Thursday - Wednesday

   2. Master File Processing: Friday - Thursday

   3. Notice Review Saturday: Monday (8+ days)

   4. Unpostables: New available Tuesday; closing Tuesday

4. BMF transaction posting time frames are:

   1. Transactions are viewable using Corporate Files Online (CFOL) command codes on Saturday following the weekly Master Files processing run on Thursday.

   2. Transactions are viewable as posted transactions using Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) command codes on Monday, following the weekly Master File processing run on Thursday.

      Note:

      Implementation of CADE 2 accelerated weekly IDRS analysis. Previously, transactions such as this would have been pending on IDRS and not shown in the CFOL command code displays.

5. Transaction posting dates show a format of YYYYCCDD. YYYY is the year. CC is the posting cycle. Individual Master File (IMF) transactions values for DD are:

   • 01 = Friday

   • 02 = Monday

   • 03 = Tuesday

   • 04 = Wednesday

   • 05 = Thursday

   Note:

   BMF cycle posting dates on BMFOL will continue to show YYYYCC. YYYY is the year. CC is the posting cycle. BMF posting cycles in TXMOD will show a format of YYYYCCDD. The DD value is 08.

System Errors

1. The Error Resolution System will identify errors according to type and priority.

   If this error is present	Then it is a
   Action Code Error,	Priority I.
   Section Error,	Priority II (Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) problem code).
   Validity Error,	Priority III.
   Math/Consistency Error,	Priority IV (Error Codes).

   Note:

   The record heading will show the type of error.

3.12.217.2.14 (01-01-2020)

Field Errors

1. Any field that does not meet the requirement(s) for that field is displayed as a Field Error in the order encountered in the return.

   1. Non-alphabetical character in an alpha field.

   2. Blank space in a numeric field.

   3. Blank in the first position of an alpha field.

3.12.217.2.15 (01-25-2022)

Terminus Error

1. This error is caused by a section with variable length input fields having an erroneous size field. This type of error will show all input fields of the terminus section. Transcribed data is present. Computer generated fields or Remittance Field for Section 01 will not be present.

   If	Then
   Displayed in error,	Check all fields in the section for necessary corrections.
   No correction is needed,	Transmit from the bottom of the screen display.
   Section needs to be deleted,	Use Command Code (CC) DLSEC to delete the section number.
   Return was suspended prior to the beginning of a new year and the return has been reactivated,	Access the return using Command Code GTREC, check all fields for necessary correction, then drop the cursor to the bottom and transmit.

3.12.217.2.16 (01-01-2022)

Status Codes

1. Status Codes control records in the Error Resolution System (ERS). The status is updated when the return is placed in a specific inventory.

2. Below is a list of the status codes and a brief explanation:

   1. Status 100: error awaiting correction. Records are in the Error Inventory.

   2. Status 2XX: return awaiting information. Records are in the Unworkable Suspense Inventory.

   3. Status 3XX: suspense period expired no response. Records are in the Workable Suspense Inventory.

   4. Status 4XX: return with information, awaiting correction. Records are in the Workable Suspense Inventory.

   5. Status 900: return is on the Unselected Inventory.

3. The final two positions of the Status Code will consist of the first two positions of the Action Code. This will put similar work together on the Workable Suspense Inventory. For example, Action Code "321" = suspense period expired or no response to taxpayer correspondence. If a return was selected for Quality Review, the second and third positions are "QA." For example, "1QA" , "3QA" , or "4QA" reflect Quality Review Status Codes.

4. When the Suspense Period expires before the return is activated, the status automatically moves from Status 2XX to Status 3XX.

3.12.217.2.17 (01-01-2024)

Action Codes

1. Action Codes (AC) are input when information is missing, or the return must be suspended from processing.

   1. The AC will have sufficient detail to show if correspondence is needed or if specific in-house research or action is required.

   2. Document Perfection Tax Examiners will assign a three-digit AC when they determine that the return is unprocessable in its present form.

   3. This AC is edited on the bottom left-hand corner of the return.

2. For more information and applicable Action Codes, see IRM 3.12.38.3.4, Error Resolution System (ERS) Action Codes, and the exhibit in IRM 3.12.38-1, Action Codes.

3.12.217.2.17.1 (01-01-2022)

Action Code Suspense

1. The presence of a valid Action Code (AC) other than "001" will place the return in the Suspense Inventory, either Workable or Unworkable.

   1. If the AC assigned by Document Perfection is invalid, incomplete or "001" the return is assigned to the Error Inventory for correction or deletion of the code.

   2. Only one AC may be assigned at a time to a return.

   3. For routing within the Submission Processing Campus (In-House Research), the AC with a sufficient explanation concerning the missing information will need to be entered on the return.

   4. The ERS Tax Examiner may enter an AC on a return, delete or correct an invalid code or overlay the present AC with another to either re-suspend or reject from ERS. This is done by entering a valid AC with a Command Code (CC) SSPND, NWDLN, or RJECT. See IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions, for an explanation of these codes.

   5. An ERS Tax Examiner entering a valid AC with CC SSPND is clearing the return from the screen and placing the return in either Workable or Unworkable Suspense.

   6. A Reject Tax Examiner entering a valid AC with CC RJECT will reject the return from ERS. Generally, Service Center Control File (SCCF) will automatically update the rejected returns. In cases where the AC cannot describe the required action, attach an explanation to the return using Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip.

   Note:

   The Action Code assigned by Document Perfection is transcribed into the return of the Form 1120-S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation.

3.12.217.2.17.2 (01-17-2025)

Action Code Chart

1. The Action Code (AC) shows that specific information is missing or that the return is to be rejected from processing. The code will show if taxpayer correspondence is needed or if specific in-house research or other action is required. This chart describes each AC, their functional use (CE = Code and Edit, EC = Error Correction, S = Suspense Correction and GEN = computer generated) and the suspense period.

2. Beginning with tax returns for periods ending 12-31-2007 and later, Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation, may be filed as an attachment to the return requesting to be considered an S Corporation.

   • Code & Edit edits Action Code (AC) "347" when the taxpayer attaches Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation or shows Rev. Proc. 2013-30 (effective September 3, 2013) on any page of the return.

   • For MeF filed returns will generate an Action Code "347" when Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation or shows Rev. Proc. 2013-30 (effective September 3, 2013).

   • Error Correction must then assign the case to Entity Control for prompt consideration.

    

3.12.217.2.17.3 (01-01-2022)

Clear Code "C" and "000"

1. The letter "C" is used as a "Clear Code" for the Error Codes when the resolution does not require a change or correction to the return. The display includes a Clear Code Field labeled "C.L" CC CRECT is used to enter the "C."

2. Code "C" is also used for clearing the Action Code from the screen after corrections for the Action Code have been completed. For example, Action Code "410" must be cleared so other errors can be resolved. The presence of the "C" with a Priority I Error shows that you have made corrections to the Action Code and now other errors on the return can display.

3. The "000" is also used as a Clear Code when deleting Action Codes. It is used for erroneous Action Codes when you determine there is no reason to suspend the return. The "000" cannot be used in Suspense Correction.

4. Programming erases all "C" Clear Codes for Error Codes when a return is suspended with the CC SSPND.

5. Programming erases all "C" Clear Codes for Error Codes and Action Codes in the new Error Inventory and Workable Suspense Inventory. Unfinished returns from the previous day will not show the "C" Clear Codes that were assigned to a return but not completely worked.

6. Error Codes (including the ones which may require a "C" Clear Code) are numbered consecutively for correcting. There may be instances when the ERS tax examiner will create an Error Code with a higher priority than those cleared with a Taxpayer Notice Code or "C" Clear Code. Should this occur, programming will erase all "C" Clear Codes and Taxpayer Notice Codes for Error Codes with a lower priority.

7. Beginning with the highest priority Error Code, programming will continue displaying Error Codes for the return. Displays using the corrected data are different from those previously displayed.

8. There may be instances when you will make a correction erasing an Error Code previously cleared with a "C" and now the error condition no longer exists. Should this occur, the "C" Clear Code for this error and all "C" and TPNC for subsequent errors in the return are deleted.

9. If errors remain on the return after deleting the "C" and TPNCs, they will re-display for resolution.

10. The "C" Clear Code will prevent any other corrections to the return. If a correction must be entered but you have already entered the "C" Clear Code, and the error is no longer displayed, create a higher priority error. If the return has cleared, then use CC GTRECW to make corrections.

3.12.217.2.18 (01-01-2022)

Unprocessable Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Return

1. When the perfection of a return is not possible and it is necessary to correspond, perform research or refer the document to another area of Submission Processing. The return is suspended, and required action taken.

2. Suspend the unprocessable return by entering the CC SSPND followed by the proper Action Code (AC).

   1. In cases where the AC cannot describe the required action, attach Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, to the return with an explanation.

   2. If the tax examiner will not be issuing a letter through IDRS, it is necessary to attach a Correspondence Action Sheet (Form 3696, Correspondence Action Sheet,).

   3. A Charge-Out, Form 8161, ERS Return Charge-Out, is computer generated for all new suspense items.

   4. The Charge-Out is used for pulling documents, routing and controlling documents while the return is held in suspense, and associating the document with the Workable Suspense Inventory when the return becomes workable.

3.12.217.2.19 (01-01-2024)

♦Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) Returns♦

1. Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) is an inventory system for scanning all Accounts Management (AM) receipts into digital images and working the cases from those images.

   Note:

   Correspondence Imaging System (CIS) changed to Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII).

2. "CII" returns are shown with "CII Image - Do not correspond for signature" stamped below the signature line or "CII" annotated on the front of the return.

3. Follow the correspondence instructions below for "CII" returns:

   If	And	Then
   The "CII" return has a Form 13596, Reprocessing Returns, attached,	The return is incomplete (e.g., missing signature, schedules, or forms),	1. Do not correspond. 2. Remove the return from the batch and SSPND with Action Code "640" to have the DLN voided. 3. Attach Form 4227, Intra SC Reject or Routing Slip, (or other proper routing slip) to the return and route to AM to secure missing information. 4. If the return comes back from AM with incomplete information, send the return to AM again to secure all the missing information. Show "Additional information needed to process incomplete CII return," or similar language on Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip (or other proper routing slip).
   The "CII" return has a Form 13596, Reprocessing Returns, attached and the return is incomplete (e.g., missing signature, schedules, or forms),	The return shows correspondence was sent (e.g., CCC "3" is edited on the return),	Do not route the return to AM. Continue processing the return.
   The "CII" return does not have a Form 13596, Reprocessing Returns, attached,	The return is incomplete (e.g., missing signature, schedules, or forms),	Research for prior posting (TC 150 posted). 1. If TC 150 is present and the information is the same, cancel the DLN and treat as classified waste. ### Note: Classified waste is documentation containing taxpayer entity or account information that is not part of the case and is not needed for audit trail purposes. Refer to IRM 21.5.1, General Adjustments, for guidance on handling classified waste to prevent inadvertent/unlawful destruction of records. 2. If TC 150 is not present, follow normal correspondence procedures.

3.12.217.2.21 (01-01-2023)

♦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, fax signatures are acceptable.

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

3.12.217.2.22 (01-01-2022)

Perfection of Attachments

1. Sometimes a return is received with written information on an attachment.

   If	Then
   The taxpayer writes a question or request for help on the return itself,	Make a photocopy of the question/request and the taxpayers EIN, name and address. Route this information to the proper function.
   Unrelated, unanswered taxpayer correspondence is attached, and no action was taken,	Detach and route to the proper area using local Submission Processing Campus procedures.
   Unanswered taxpayer correspondence relating to the Form 1120-S is attached,	Make a photocopy of the attachment and forward it to the proper area using local Submission Processing Campus procedures.

3.12.217.2.23 (01-01-2024)

Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) Research Tools

1. The following shows some IDRS Command Codes (CCs).

2. See IDRS Command Codes at: IDRS Command Code Job Aid for all Command Code Job Aids.

3.12.217.2.23.1 (01-01-2024)

NAMEE Search

1. Command Code (CC) NAMEE uses a system called Name Search Facility (NSF), which is a Taxpayer Identification Number searching tool.

2. NSF provides a national centralized name search capability that replaces the Key Index File (KIF) found at each Submission Processing Campus. Authorized users will have access to NSF via CC NAMEE for Employer Identification Number (EIN) searches.

3. NSF will provide an input screen to enter data about the taxpayer (name, address, etc.). It will match the data entered to data we have in our files and will return to the users the Social Security Number (SSN) or EIN of any possible matches. The more information entered, the narrower the search and the better the possibility of a match. The CC NAMEE requires a name be entered for searching the NSF use CC NAMEE to verify that the EIN the taxpayer has furnished is on the Master File. See IDRS Command Codes at IDRS Command Code Job Aid for all CC Job Aids.

3.12.217.2.23.2 (01-01-2020)

On-Line Entity (OLE)

1. On-Line Entity (OLE) is a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) system designed to allow for validation of the EIN and EIN/name control online with Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) input Command Codes (CC). It is also designed to allow for entity research on a national basis.

2. Use CC INOLE to research the entity module. This information includes name lines, name control, address, employment codes and filing requirements. See IDRS Command Code Job Aid for all CC Job Aids.

3. The display for a BMF EIN account or INOLE will show the:

   1. Primary name and all the name lines on the BMF

   2. Mailing address

   3. Primary name control

   4. Prior name control

   5. Sole proprietor SSN

   6. Fiscal month

   7. Prior fiscal month

   8. Establishment date

   9. Employment code

   10. Exempt Organization (EO) data, if present, and

   11. Filing requirements

4. Validation of IDRS CCs - IDRS CCs that create a transaction for posting to the Master File will have the EIN and EIN/name control validated using the Taxpayer Information File (TIF), and the National Account Profile (NAP).

5. The CCs will not return the "Request Completed" response until the EIN and EIN/name control have been validated by the NAP as being on the Master File that the transaction will try to post.

6. The following IDRS CCs are affected by OLE validation:

   • FRM49 - Taxpayer Delinquent Return Notices and Investigations

   • ENREQ - Entity Changes

7. If there is a match to the EIN and name control, then continue normal processing.

8. If there is an EIN or name control mismatch, see IDRS Command Code Job Aid for all CC Job Aids.

3.12.217.2.23.3 (01-01-2024)

BRTVU

1. Command Code (CC) BRTVU is used to research edited, transcribed and computer-generated line items for BMF returns and related forms and schedules. This information is accessed using CC BRTVU with a Taxpayer TIN, a two-digit Master File Transaction (MFT) Code, Tax Period and Definer Code.

2. The Returns Transaction File does not have all the information available on the IDRS system, for example, IDRS notice status, case control information. BRTVU can be accessed even when TXMOD and SUMRY are not available.

3. CC BRTVU, with definer "SM," requests the summary screen for a specific EIN, MFT and Tax Period. This screen provides information about income, deductions, tax, remittance, number of pages, and schedules or forms attached to the return.

4. Definers are displayed for the forms that are present with the return. A form is present if any field on the related screen (other than name control) has significant data.

5. If the definer is blank or invalid, or a definer is requested for a screen not available for the return requested, the computer will display the summary screen, showing the available screen and definers.

6. Screens may be accessed using the correct two positions definer code. Valid BRTVU definers for Form 1120-S are:

   Definer	Meaning
   SM	Summary screen
   R1	Screen 1
   R2	Screen 2
   R3	Screen 3
   SK	Schedule K
   N1	Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels
   V2	Form 8586, Low-Income Housing Credit (PY 91)
   V1	Form 8586, Low-Income Housing Credit, (PY 91)
   W1	Form 8611, Recapture of Low-Income Housing Credit, (PY 91)

7. Amended and duplicate returns are accessed via CC BRTVU by inputting a sequence number immediately after the definer code. These returns will display the format of the year processed; therefore, the line numbers may be inconsistent with current year returns.

3.12.217.2.23.4 (01-01-2022)

BMFOL

1. Command Code (CC) BMFOL provides on-line research capability of nationwide entity and tax data information posted to the Master File.

2. CC BMFOL displays information like CC MFTRA. In fact, CC BMFOL is a suggested alternative to CC MFTRA.

3. CC BMFOL, with the definer "I," displays a summary screen for a specific account. The summary screen will show what other display screens are accessible and a minimum of information on each available module.

4. For further explanation of the screen displays and applicable definer codes, see IDRS Command Code Job Aid for all CC Job Aids.

3.12.217.2.24 (01-01-2022)

Form 1120 Converted to Form 1120-S

1. Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, must be converted to Form 1120-S when the taxpayer has filed Form 1120 and the Entity Control Unpostable Unit determines the taxpayer has a valid Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation, on file.

2. When Form 1120 is converted to a Form 1120-S, Entity must ensure that only the Received Date (Field 01RCD), North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code (Field 01NAI), and Audit Code "4" (Field 03ADC) are edited to the new renumbered form. If a field other than those mentioned above was transcribed, delete it.

3. For MeF Form 1120 being reprocessed as Form 1120-S, ensure the correct Received Date is edited on the document. The Received Date is the Julian DLN date of the original DLN. Do not subtract 10 days in the case from the Julian Date.

4. Do not enter any tax data on the "blank" Form 1120-S.

3.12.217.2.25 (01-01-2020)

Installment Agreement

1. If a request for an installment agreement (an inquiry by the taxpayer to make payments on a debt) is attached to any return, detach it and send it to the Collection Branch. This request may come on Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request. When forwarding the installment request ensure the following information is included as a working trail: EIN, Name, Type of Return, Tax Period, Amount Due and Amount Paid.

3.12.217.2.26 (01-01-2022)

4. ISRP enters the Form 4136 information by inputting the specific credit reference number (CRN) the taxpayer shows on his Form 4136. All fields that represent CRNs are three characters in length and must be numeric only.

   Example:

   Taxpayer reports a credit of $4,500.00 on Line 3a and $600.00 on Line 5b, Form 4136. Section 15 will show the amount transcribed from Line 3a as 15A01, $4,500.00 with 15C01 as 360 Credit Reference Number (CRN) and amount transcribed as 15A02 $600.00 and 15C02 as 355 (CRN). In this scenario only Section 15 would appear since only two credits were claimed.

5. Sections 15-18 could generate on an account if the taxpayer claimed as many as 43 different Federal Tax Paid on Fuels credits. Section 15 shows the first 12 credits transcribed, Section 16 will show credits 13-24, Section 17 will show credits 25-36, and Section 18 will show credits 37-43.
