If the taxpayer unintentionally leaves out address information with their address change request and the new LKA is already established, do not complete the requested address change.
Always include PMB with the street address. PMB must be entered at the end of the address regardless of where it is shown on the address change request.
The " " sign, if included on the address change request, should not be entered. Possession addresses must be entered with the valid two-character possession abbreviation and the appropriate ZIP Code and must not be entered as an international address.

If a campus address is used, IMF suppresses all tax return packages and refunds. No street address should be entered. If the undeliverable taxpayer's first name is IVO and contains their valid surname and name control and the taxpayer's address is the Austin campus, no further research is required, destroy as classified waste. If needed, see IRM 3. If the account is an invalid account and research locates a taxpayer with the same name but their account is under a different SSN , do not mail the undeliverable to the new address.

If the undeliverable taxpayer's first name is IVO and contains their valid surname and name control and the taxpayer's address is the Austin campus, no further research is required.
If the following is written or stamped on the undeliverable mail envelope, research is mandatory for a more current address:. When a return is sent back to a taxpayer for a signature and is returned to us undeliverable or unsigned, the return will be forwarded to the ECU for address research. If there is no indication the mail was sent out, return the "unmailed" correspondence to the originator.

ECU will receive a limited volume of Entity-related invalid taxpayer accounts requiring additional research and establishing an IRS Valid taxpayer account if possible. Insolvency will fax a Form , Document Transmittal, and include all the necessary taxpayer information.
Insolvency will include a fax number if necessary for Entity to return the cases. The Form must include:. Two separate TIN or name corrections may be required. Taxpayer name corrections must only be made to the taxpayer names for the specific tax periods in error.
These accounts require the two-step correction process. Do not input multiple TC corrections on the same account without allowing the first TC to post before inputting the second merge Transaction Code. If a taxpayer's filing history indicates they filed as a secondary taxpayer, have a valid SSN, but have not updated their name with SSA, correct the case to ensure the secondary taxpayer's account is made IRS Valid TC If multiple tax periods are involved, make the corrections to the earliest tax period listed on the Form Fax the, Form back to the originator within ten days and notate one of the following on the Form If needed, ensure the Entity correction is completed under the primary taxpayer's account also.
If processing a case in March, include cycle 15 in the narrative since the DM-1 file was already updated in cycle 5. Research the account s to determine if the TC 01X correction was made to the correct taxpayer account.
If multiple merge TCs are entered without allowing time to post, it could create a resequencing condition at master file and will prevent taxpayer account correction s. If the multiple name changes are required, do NOT input multiple TC without monitoring the account.
Once the first name change transaction posts, input the subsequent TC corrections to the account. The following table offers assistance and displays account information that will prevent the merging of IMF taxpayer account s.
The transactions must be same in the above situations. Remember: The accounts will not merge if one contains a TC and the other account contains a TC even if the tax periods are the same. If neither entity contains significant Secondary codes, the Primary location codes for both accounts must agree. An amended return is not considered a TC If a merge and an amended return and a TC are in the same module, a duplicate freeze code is set.
If the two modules are for the same tax period and one has the RPS Freeze and the other module does not contain a TC or;. IMF will delay any merge initiating transactions attempting to post in cycle 24 until cycle It is important to note merge requests input during these cycles will require one additional cycle to post.

This transcript is received through AMS. This occurs for the following situations:. An account failed to properly resequence because the transaction code matches another account on the SSN but fails to match on any name control s. The first screen shown after choosing a case from the Inventory displays the following information at the top of the screen. The following fields display with the Transcript Case Info Page:. Determine if both accounts belong to the same or two different taxpayers.
Use the following when the case involves two different taxpayers :. Do not input multiple TC corrections on the same account. Monitor the account and allow the TC to post before entering the second TC if necessary where a resequencing condition could occur at IMF. If more merges are required, ensure the account has merged, then input another merge transaction and monitor the account.

If more than one application is present for the applicant's name, look for a listing with your applicant's birth date. If there is an indication of a rejected primary Form W-7, a TIN is needed to process the taxpayer return.
If the secondary or dependent applications are rejected and a tax return is attached, the tax return goes forward for processing. When working Statute year returns, route to Statute if a Cleared Statute stamp is not present. Compare the Form W-7 name to the tax return. Verify the name on the tax return is legible and spelled correctly. If you can confirm the person on the tax return is the same as the W-7 applicant but the names differ, edit the second last name and the middle name if present on to the tax return to match the names or RTS.

This includes the following cases:. Suspended, do not assign an IRSN. If it is determined during research the return should be routed to the ITIN unit, attach a Form Review the return for a Schedule SE. Edit the IRSN for the secondary taxpayer on the return and underline with red ink the first four alpha characters of the last name name control established for the IRSN on the tax return.
Examine the return for Schedule SE to determine which taxpayer is filing self-employment. If a taxpayer submits multiple returns for different years, the ITIN unit will forward the current and prior year returns together. Annotate on the return the appropriate TIN located. After performing all research, assign the IRSN.
Edit the TIN to the taxpayer's returns and underline with red ink the first four alpha characters of the last name name control established for the IRSN on the tax return and;. Depending on what TINs are located on the account, taxpayer accounts may require merge corrections. If the assigned ITIN is the only number found, verify none of the tax periods of the returns being processed contain previously posted TC If the tax period matching that of the return s being processed already contains a TC , edit "TC " in the upper left corner and route the return to the X Unit.
If the returns you are working are in a X batch, leave all the returns in the batch. No other editing is required. If no other TINs are found and there is no TC previously posted to the tax period of the return s , edit the TIN to the return s and continue processing. If there are any annotations i. If the tax period matching that of the return s does not contain a TC , edit the located or assigned TIN to the return, circle out any annotations such as "copy, duplicate, amended, corrected, etc.

IAT provides tools to IRS employees to simplify research, reduce keystrokes, eliminate repetitive typing and increase the accuracy of regular work processes.
The use of IAT is mandatory for completing domestic address changes. These CCs include but are not limited to the following:. It also lists whether a file or whether a CC is unavailable and lists the team phone numbers. However, it takes approximately three days to generate and receive the transcripts from the campus print room. This is an internal use document. If the account is not on your local database, check through universal IDRS CCs to make a note of any controls or actions being taken on the remote database.
This CC is designed to provide name, address and other entity information from an input of the taxpayer identification number TIN. It serves as a preceding step for keying the following command codes:. Full Entity Module: An account for which at least one tax module is present on the TIF or an account was established within the last 15 months.
These six sections appear in this following order:. If one section is not applicable for the taxpayer's account, the subsequent section s will follow immediately after the last filled section s. Compare the input TIN with the source document to determine if a transcription typographical error was made.
If a typographical error has been made, correct the EIN and reinput the transaction. Be sure the TC intend indicator is correct. If it is, it may be necessary to make an entity change. Re-input the transaction and change the TC intend indicator to blank.
If the source document is correspondence, return it to the taxpayer with a Form SS-4 explaining the EIN has already been assigned to another taxpayer. Before we can process their correspondence we will need a valid EIN. Input the additional or correct information required and cycle delay as appropriate. Any transaction that needs to be cycled or held for later input can now be cycled up to 6 cycles using a Posting Delay Code PDC. Use of the PDC on a daily account with daily transactions may result in delaying the posting of the transactions that would resolve the account.
If the information that will print on the CP needs to be changed, such as mailing address, primary name line, etc. The definer code determines whether the input TIN is edited or not edited and whether a specific file source is needed.

If needed, use the appropriate cycle delay code to ensure the address change will post on cycle 4. If necessary, see IRM 2. All Individual taxpayers account transactions being processed weekly by IMF on Thursday with new cycle definitions and accelerated refund and notice issuance will display on these CCs.
Definer code "T" provides a topical list for each CFOL command code to determine which command code to use. ICFOL users will provide current news on program updates, screen format changes, and upcoming changes. This command code provides "read-only" access to nationwide transactions posted to the Master File. These command codes allow expanded research capability when other IDRS research e. Fields available include basic identifying information, amounts, dates, codes, indicators, and freezes.
Transaction postings, status history, audit history, vestigial data, federal tax deposit, exempt organization, and combined annual wage reporting data are also available. Additionally, for any specified account, a tax module summary and last period satisfied information can be requested.
All entities, master file tax modules and the most recent eleven years of retention data are in an on-line status. Valid definer codes are as follows:.
The more specific details are entered, the more refined and fewer search results that will display. The entering of a taxpayer's address or partial address beginning from the left of the address will significantly reduce the number of CC NAME search results.
Helpful Hint: If a taxpayer's surname is a common last name e. See the following table:. A "foreign" non-United States address search has been added. Primary or secondary taxpayer date of birth.
If you enter all the taxpayer information available for your searches, the command code response screens will contain the "closest matches" and therefore fewer IDRS pages. The standardization package drops items such as Mr. The error message display, "Campus Search not available for this campus". However if you reenter the request including the state and ZIP Code fields , you will receive the matching records. The most efficient search is received when the name and ZIP Code fields are entered.
The full 5-digit or partial 3-digit ZIP Code may be used. A valid ZIP Code entry do not use all zeros must be entered. For the CC NAMEI input, the length of the last name is limited to 10 characters, and the length of the first name is limited to 10 characters. If the entire last name consists of less than 15 characters, it is not necessary to key in trailing blanks. Input fields follow the command code name on the top line of the screen.
They are variable in length and, when present, must be separated by a comma. The street address may contain up to 26 characters, but only the first six characters will be used in the search. The CC definers are as follows:. If the definer I or D is not entered, an error message is received. Master File uses alpha codes to identify specific taxpayer module conditions generated systemically or input manually. The term freeze codes can be misleading since not all alpha codes indicate the taxpayer's account or module is frozen.
Various IDRS conditions affect the status of a module. There are three main types of freeze code conditions that:. Some freeze codes display to indicate certain conditions occurring on the taxpayer's account but do not freeze the account. Up to eight freeze codes can display for a taxpayers account. Master File refers to the freeze codes as either:. If any concerns arise, see your lead before completing the name or address change.
Before routing cases to another area, notate the type of freeze code on the routing slip to expedite specialized issues. Filing Status Codes identify the taxpayer's marital and family situations. It is used to determine whether the standard deduction or the itemized deduction amount should be allowed.
The FSCs reflect their filing status for a specific tax year and may change depending on the filing situation. Daily transactions directed to a daily account are expected to post daily. Transactions will be viewable on IDRS command codes the third day after campus input. Weekly transactions directed to a daily account are expected to post with the weekly processing run on Thursday and may result in the daily account type changing to Weekly.
For situations in 2 and 3 , transactions will be viewable using CFOL command codes on the Saturday following the Thursday processing run. Unpostables processing- New receipts on Tuesday. Closing Unpostable processing on Tuesday. When the transaction is processed on Thursday and the PDC contains a value other than zero, the transaction will continue to resequence for the number of cycles equal to the value.
A transaction input with a PDC of 1 will be processed on Thursday and will resequence until the following weekly processing day the following Thursday. Transactions may be delayed from one 1 to six 6 cycles. This is an optional code and delays transaction s posting to Master File determined by the number of cycles selected.
When multiple transactions are required to adjust an account and some transactions must post in later cycles, PDCs will adjust the transaction to the correct transaction cycles.
Once the first name change transaction posts and the merge is posted, input another TC under the segment where the account merged to valid or invalid. Entering PDCs are not required or mandatory in every instance. Use of a PDC on a daily account with daily transactions may delay transactions necessary to resolve the account. Generally transactions will post to IMF in numeric order from lowest to highest except for the following:.
TC will always post last to the entity portion of IMF and will accurately resequence to the next cycle. Do not input multiple TC corrections on the same account without ensuring the first TC posts before entering the subsequent TC All Doc Codes 47 Exam and most Doc Codes 54 Adjustment transactions require the original document to post before subsequent transaction can be posted.
Credit transfers are not typically completed within the Entity function. Transactions related to credit transfers must be sent to Accounts Management unless local agreements are applicable at your campus. Reversal Transaction Codes require the original transaction to be present before completing the reversal. When entering PDCs, consider the day of the week of input.
If the transaction is being input at the end of the weekly posting cycle, an additional cycle may be necessary. Cycle transactions will be retained on the Resequence Transactions record according to the required staggered sequence of the transactions. Please deal with duplications yourself. The reason why I do not provide timestamp is because there will be truncations due to timing of the filings.
For example, when filings are filed in and for a link, I can only see the link in and , but the link should be valid in too. One way to fix this is to interpolate the link to However, when filing ends in , we do not know when should the link is valid to and how long after we should extrapolate, i. One could extrapolate to but we do not know the true date the link ends. This is arbitrary choice of the user, therefore I remove the timestamp for you to deal with yourself.
For database merging purpose, this should be fine because two databases you are merging should have timestamp and it's rare for duplicated links to exist at some given time. It would be nice if they were also categorized e. Where can I get such a data?
