Program Goals: To correct all errors identified with Form 1042 returns by the Error Resolution System.

3.22.110.1.1 (11-05-2021)

Background

The purpose of Error Resolution is to resolve validity errors, field errors, consistency errors, and math errors on 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 the 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
- Invalid Tax Periods and eligibility for certain credits
Employees use ERS to correct these conditions and when necessary use Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) to research.

♦Business Master File (BMF) Consistency♦

The purpose of this initiative is to achieve consistency in the Business Master File (BMF) Error Resolution System (ERS) processing IRMs.
Ogden, Kansas City, and Return Processing Branch, BMF Code and Edit and Error Resolution System (ERS) identified and developed topics for BMF Consistency.

Text in normal print is the common process for BMF returns. The text in BOLD print is form specific and applies to this IRM only.

3.22.110.4 (05-10-2024)

♦IRM Deviation Procedures♦

Submit IRM deviations in writing, following instructions from IRM 1.11.2.2.3, When Procedures Deviate from the IRM, and elevate through proper channels for executive approval.

3.22.110.5 (11-19-2020)

♦IRS Employee Contacts♦

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98) Section 3705(a) gives identification requirements for all IRS employees working tax-related matters.
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 appropriate during the conversation, their last name, and badge identification (ID Card) number.
3. Correspondence (sent to taxpayer and authorized representatives) - A telephone number 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 taxpayer 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.
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.
Secretaries, receptionists, or other people who answer the telephone in functional offices need to identify themselves. They must give their badge identification (ID Card) number only if they are answering telephones which are routinely used to give tax or account information.
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.

3.22.110.6 (11-25-2024)

♦Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)♦

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.
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 Requests (OARs).
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. See IRM 21.1.3.18, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Guidelines.
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.
When making a TAS referral, use Form 911, and forward to TAS following your local procedures.
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.

3.22.110.6.1 (11-25-2024)

♦Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Service Level Agreements (SLA)♦

The National Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners of the Taxpayer Services (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 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 are known as Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
The SLAs are found at https://irsgov.sharepoint.com/sites/TAS/SitePages/SLA.aspx.

3.22.110.7 (01-01-2024)

♦Business Master File (BMF) Identity (ID) Theft♦

BMF ID Theft is increasing. If a case is found with attachments or correspondence 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.
The manager/lead will expedite the case to the P&A staff for referral to one of the Submission Processing (SP) BMF ID Theft liaisons. The taxpayer must show they are a victim of "ID Theft" ; do not send cases that are subject to Criminal Investigation (CI), Examination (Exam), or Fraud review.

3.22.110.8 (01-01-2023)

♦Use of Fax for Taxpayer Submissions♦

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.
Contact with the taxpayer may be by telephone or correspondence. Follow local procedures to decide which method of contact to use.
Indicate the fax paragraph on Letter 1791C, to inform the taxpayer of the fax options.
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
Before leaving any messages on a taxpayer's answering machine, review:
- IRM 10.5.1.6.7.2, Answering Machine or Voice Mail
- IRM 10.8.1, Information Technology (IT) Security, Policy and Guidance

3.22.110.9 (01-03-2023)

♦Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) Returns♦

Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) is an inventory system for scanning 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).
"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.

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),	Do not correspond. Remove the return from the batch and SSPND with Action Code "640" to have the DLN voided. 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. If the return comes back from AM with incomplete information, send the return to AM again to secure all the missing information. Indicate "More information needed to process incomplete CII return," or similar language on Form 4227 (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) 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. If TC 150 is not present, follow normal correspondence procedures.

3.22.110.10 (07-27-2020)

♦Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2♦

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.
The CADE 2 solution is comprised of several components, to modernize the IRS to a daily processing environment with several Transition States.
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
BMF transaction posting time frames are:
1. Transactions are viewable using Corporate Files Online (CFOL) command codes on Saturday following the weekly Master File 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 be pending on IDRS and not shown in the CFOL command code displays.
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 show a format of YYYYCCDD. The DD value is 08.

3.22.110.11 (02-27-2023)

♦Working Trail♦

It is important to leave a legible "Working Trail" (or "Action Trail" ) using blue ink for those who may work with the return later.
Write all taxpayer notice codes (TPNCs) 90 on the front of the return in the upper left corner (or use Form 12648, Error Correction 90 TPNC). See IRM 3.22.110.21.17, Taxpayer Notice Codes, for more information.
If corresponding with a non-suspense letter, "X" and write the corrected money amounts to the left of each original point(s) of error. Write money amounts in dollars only or dollars and cents, as applicable. Arrowing is allowed for money amounts when there are no intervening entries between the arrow and the line to which the money is entered.
Leave a working trail on the return when changes are made to the following items:
- Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN)
- Tax Period
- Received Date
- Computer Condition Code (CCC)
- Correspondence Received Date (CRD)
Reminder:

Circle out incorrect Employer Identification Numbers (EINs), Social Security Numbers (SSNs), Tax Periods, and Received Dates.
When working Reject re-inputs, circle out any previous Action Codes shown on the front of the return, if no longer applicable.
When working Rejects, write "Voided" with the date above the DLN, when voiding a return.

3.22.110.12 (11-17-2017)

♦General Disclosure Guidelines♦

IRC 6103 establishes the taxpayer's (T/P's) right to privacy of tax information. You must be sure to provide correct information to the correct T/P or authorized representative. Check CFINK for Power of Attorney (POA).
Taxpayer returns and return information must remain confidential as provided for in IRC 6103, Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information. IRC 7431 provides civil damages for unauthorized disclosure of returns and return information. IRC 7213 and IRC 7213A provide criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized inspection of returns and return information. These IRCs also require employees be discharged from duty if charged and convicted of these offenses.

Inventory/Reports

Records are placed into the Error Inventory or the Workable Suspense Inventory for correction. Once the ERS TE accesses the record and it is displayed on the screen, it must be:
1. Corrected in full by correcting errors in editing or transcription and/or correcting math errors.
2. Placed in suspense for more information.
3. Rejected from pipeline processing.
Each day the Error Inventory Report is furnished showing:
1. Blocks, by the block control number, and block Document Locator Number (DLN) in DLN order.
2. Each batch is on a separate page.
3. Blocks received from Block out of Balance (BOB) Correction is listed separately.
4. A copy of the report must be on the carts of documents and used as a charge-out to determine when a cart is completed.
5. The first line of the Error Inventory Report will show the number of working days the records on that page have been in the Error Inventory. This will enable work left from a previous day to have priority.

3.22.110.15.2 (01-01-2015)

Workable Suspense Inventory Report

Each day the Workable Suspense Inventory Report is furnished showing the records by program in DLN order for various status situations. Separate pages for each program, with totals, is provided.
The first line of the report shows the number of working days the records have been in the Workable Suspense Inventory. This will allow priority to be given to the older work.

3.22.110.15.3 (11-17-2017)

Error Displays and Corrections

All Form 1042, Error Screen Displays as follows:
- Each field is identified by an Alpha/Numeric Field Designator (AFD) displayed before the field.
- Fields are displayed with no breaker.
- Negative values are indicated by a minus (−) sign following the amount.
- Decimal points are displayed beginning in the left position.
- Leading zeros in amount fields are suppressed and the significant digits are displayed beginning in the left position.
- If more than one amount field of a record is to be shown, the corresponding place values are aligned beneath one another.
- Sufficient leading blanks are displayed preceding the shorter amounts. So, the place values of these amounts are directly in line with the place values of the longest amount.
- The cents digits are not displayed for "dollars only" fields. So, the place values will remain in line with the other fields of the section. Two asterisks (**) are displayed in the cents position of the "dollars only" field.
Corrections are entered starting with the left-most position of the field. Blank-out unused positions.
- If fewer than the maximum number of positions is required, the program automatically moves to the right of the digits.
- It is not necessary to enter the decimal point. If the decimal point is entered, it is ignored.
- A minus sign (−) must be entered as the last numeric if the amount is negative.
Do not enter more than the number of positions allowed for a particular field. If more data is entered, the overflow characters display on the screen but are dropped when the field is added to the record. This is especially important for the TIN, name and address.
Corrections can be made to a displayed field by overlaying only the digits in error and not re-entering the entire field. It is not necessary to eliminate the decimal point when correcting in this manner.
To add a missing section:
1. Transmit with Command Code GTSEC, followed by the desired Section Number.
2. When the empty section format is displayed, enter the missing data in the proper fields and transmit with Command Code CRECT.
To see a field or section of the record other than shown in the display:
1. Enter Command Code GTSEC, followed by the desired Section Number.
2. If a correction is not made to the section, drop to the bottom of the screen, and transmit.
3. Any error display not showing all fields necessary for resolution must be reported to the National Office.
  
  Reminder:
  
  When transmitting corrections to a screen display, move the cursor below the last field containing data before transmitting.
To delete a section of the record, enter Command Code DLSEC, followed by the desired Section Number.
If, during the course of correcting a Priority II, III or IV Error, more information or research is necessary to resolve the error (or if the error is rejected), enter the correct Action Code with either Command Code SSPND or RJECT.

3.22.110.15.4 (11-17-2017)

3.22.110.16 (11-17-2017)

Foreign Currency

All entries must be in U.S. dollars and cents. If the entries are in a foreign currency, SSPND "21X" with literal:
Please complete Lines 1-71 using U.S. dollars and cents.
The presence of symbols for foreign currency on lines of the return are an indication of foreign money.

3.22.110.17 (11-17-2017)

Correspondence

When it is necessary to contact the taxpayer to obtain missing information or clarification, ERS will:
1. Complete Letter 1791C, unless otherwise instructed.
2. Attach it to the return.
3. SSPND "21X" to automatically suspend for a predetermined number of days or until the taxpayer replies, whichever is earlier. See IRM 3.22.110.19, Action Codes, for which correspondence Action Code to use.
Rejects reviews the form to ensure:
- Current revision is used,
- completeness, and
- easy for taxpayer to understand.
Rejects either prepares Form 3177, Notice of Action for Entry on Master File, to input Transaction Code (TC) 599 and Closing Code (CC) 17, or input the two codes using Command Code FRM49.

Note:

It is not necessary to input the two codes if the return was originally processed through Residual Remittance Processing System (RRPS). The Transaction Code (TC) 610 input by RRPS serves as the satisfying transaction for the normal delinquency check.
Any time a correspondence letter is prepared, ERS and Rejects review the return to ensure all missing information is requested at the same time.

Caution:

Correspondence must be sent only once. It is imperative you review the return for all correspondence conditions.
If C&E has already corresponded (look for attachments or action trail on left side of return), process the error condition ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡
Rejects never sends a return back to a taxpayer. If sending a photocopy of the return to the taxpayer, notate the word "copy" on the photocopy and black out the DLN and edit marks.
Enter a Correspondence Received Date (CRD) into Field 01CRD when correspondence is received. Enter Field 01CRD in (YYYYMMDD Format) except when:
- The reply from the taxpayer was received before the due date of the return and/or
- The correspondence was requested due to an IRS processing error.
If a reply to correspondence is not received within the allotted time, 30 days for domestic mail and 45 days for international, enter CCC "3" into Field 01CCC.

3.22.110.17.1 (01-01-2023)

Missing or Illegible Data

Correspond for missing information when any part of the entity area cannot be found by using all applicable research (e.g., CCs NAMEB, NAMEE, INOLE, ENMOD, etc.).
If the taxpayer has not entered data onto the correct lines of the return but instead puts "see attached," Rejects corresponds for the return to be properly completed unless instructed otherwise in this IRM.
Rejects corresponds for clarification when the date entered on the return cannot be read accurately.
If the signature is missing, Rejects will correspond. If you are corresponding for ONLY a missing signature, use Action Code "225" or "226" and continue to process the return.

Note:

If Form 1042 is mailed between August 28, 2020, through October 31, 2023, accept a digital signature.
If the taxpayer does not provide a copy of Form 1042-S, Copy B or a Form 1099 to support the entry on Line 67a/67b, SSPND "21X" for Form 1042-S, Copy B.

Exception:

♦Re-Entry Document Procedures♦

A return posted (or attempting to post) to the wrong account or module must be reprocessed to post to the proper account or module.
Some re-entry returns may have originally been filed electronically (e-File) or via Modernized e-file (MeF). These returns may be identified by the presence of Mod e-file printouts in lieu of an actual return. Do not correspond for missing signatures on these documents.
Each re-entry return must have Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control, or Form 13596, Reprocessing Returns, attached. See below for the correct form to use.
- Form 3893 is used to re-input documents that have not posted to an account or module.
- Form 13596 is used to reprocess documents to the correct account or module, that previously posted to the wrong account or module.
Always leave Form 3893 or Form 13596 on the front of the return. It must remain as a permanent part of the document.

Examine Form 3893 or Form 13596 to determine the action needed to re-input the return.

Note:

If the IRS Received Date is two years and nine months or more after the Return Due Date, do not use Form 3893 or Form 13596 reprocessing procedures. Route return to the Statute Control Unit following statute procedures. See IRM 3.22.110.18.8.

♦Frivolous Arguments♦

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 3.22.110-10, Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review, for a list of recognized frivolous arguments made by businesses.

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

Frivolous Return Criteria

If	Then
The return meets any of the conditions shown as a frivolous return. See Exhibit 3.22.110-10, Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review. Exception: If the return shows Action Code 331 and has a Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, attached with the remarks, "Refer to Exam FRP for audit after processing," continue to next procedure.

3.22.110.18.7.1 (11-19-2020)

♦Criminal Investigation (CI) Referral♦

Criminal Investigation (CI) investigates potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and related financial crimes. Criminal violations of the IRC include willful efforts 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.
If CI has stamped the return, do not send for further CI action.

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 CI Referral, then see below.

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.
Continue processing the return.

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 considers suspicious, CI is available to review the referral.
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 appearing suspicious.

♦Examination (Exam) Funny Box♦

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.

3.22.110.18.8 (01-01-2024)

Statute of Limitations

A period of limitation is a time established by law to review, analyze, and resolve taxpayer and/or IRS related issues.
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) states the IRS will assess, refund credit, and collect taxes within specific time limits. These limits are known as Statute of Limitations. When they expire, we can no longer assess more tax, allow a claim for refund by the taxpayer, nor take collection action. There are different periods of limitations for Assessment, Refund, and Collection Statutes. The expiration of these periods is tracked separately.
The different periods of limitations expiration dates tracked are:
- Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED): The statute of limitations associated with Form 1042 is generally three years from the date the return is filed. If a withholding agent files Form 1042 before April 15 of the following calendar year, the Form 1042 is considered filed on April 15 for the purposes of the statute of limitations. If a return is not filed, the IRS may assess the tax at anytime.
  IRC 6501(a)
  IRC 6501(b)(2)
  IRM 6501(c)(3)
- Refund Statute Expiration Date (RSED): Within 3 years from the time the return was filed or 2 years from the time the tax was paid, whichever of such periods expires the later, or if no return was filed by the taxpayer, within 2 years from the time the tax was paid.
  IRC 6511(a)
  IRC 6211(b)2(A)
- Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) is 10 years from the 23C date or 10 years from the date of the TC 29X or 30X adjustment. IRC 6502(a).
Note:

Exceptions may apply to change the periods of limitations.
Several conditions may change the general Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED). They include:
- IRC 6501 (c) (1) - False Return
- IRC 6501 (c) (4) - Extensions by Agreement
- IRC 6501 (d) - Is request for Prompt Assessments, which shortens the Assessment Period
- IRC 6501 (e) - Substantial (in excess of 25 percent) Omission of Income provides for a 6-year period of limitations.
- IRC 6503 (a) - Issuance of Statutory Notice of Deficiency (90-day Letter, which suspends the running of the period of limitations.)
- IRC 6901 (c) - Fiduciaries and Transferees
- IRC 6503 (h) - Bankruptcy
- IRC 6229 (a) through (h) - Partnership Items (Effective for tax years beginning before December 31, 2017)
- IRC 6501 (b) (3) - Substitute for Return by Authority of IRC 6020(b)
  
  Caution:
  
  IRC 6020(b) is not a tax return that triggers the period of limitations on assessment under IRC 6501(a). If the taxpayer subsequently files a return reporting more liability, that return constitutes an original tax return allowing for the assessment of any additional amount not already assessed under the Substitute for Return program and triggering the running of the period of limitations on assessment for the tax year.
- IRC 6051(b) and Treas. Reg. 301.6501(b)-1(b) - A Form 1042 is considered timely filed on or before March 15th of the calendar year following the year the payment of income was made and the tax was required to be withheld. However, the statute of limitations on assessment of tax for timely filed Forms 1042 does not begin until April 15th as a return timely filed on or before March 15th is deemed to have been filed on April 15th.
Statute Control must clear Form 1042 before coding and editing. If not, SSPND 310, and Rejects sends the return to Statute Control with the required BMFOLT research attached for clearance.
Enter CCC "W" and continue processing the return if:
1. TC 59X or Section 6020(b) is notated on the face of the return, or
2. Exam prepared a return with no money amounts.
  
  Note:
  
  A "cleared by statute" stamp is not required on these returns.
If the statute has already expired or will expire within 60 days of the current processing date, hand-carry to the Statute Control function.
Enter CCC "W" on statute returns cleared by Statute Control. "Cleared by statute" is stamped on the left-hand side of the Form 1042 return.

If the return is amended, do not remove from batch. Enter CCC "G" and SSPND with Action Code "650."

3.22.110.19 (11-17-2017)

Action Codes

The ERS Action Code shows specific information is missing or the record is to be rejected from processing. The code will have sufficient detail to indicate if correspondence is to be sent to the taxpayer or if specific in-house research or action(s) is required.
For a listing of valid ERS Action Codes, see Exhibit 3.22.110-7.
C&E TEs assign a three-digit Action Code to numbered returns when the document is unprocessable in its present form either by needing more information or because some manual intervention is required. This code is entered in the bottom left margin of the return.
Correspondence Action Sheet (CAS) 1791C CAS (or other approved Correspondence Action Sheet) is used for initiating correspondence. This form is attached by C&E, ERS, and Rejects. When routing within the campus (in-house research), an explanation concerning the missing information is attached to the return using Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip.
The Action Code assigned by C&E is transcribed into the record of the Form 1042.
An ERS TE may:
1. Enter an Action Code on a record.
2. Delete or correct an invalid code.
3. Overlay the present Action Code with another to either resuspend or reject from ERS. This is done by entering a valid Action Code with SSPND, RJECT or NWDLN. See IRM 3.12.38, Error Resolution System (ERS), General Instructions for more information.
4. Enter a valid Action Code with the SSPND to clear the record from the screen and place the record in either Workable Suspense or Unworkable Suspense.
5. Enter a valid Action Code with RJECT to reject the record from ERS. Generally, SCCF is automatically updated for the rejected records.
The presence of a valid Action Code other than 001 places the record in the Suspense Inventory, either Workable or Unworkable.
If the Action Code assigned by C&E is invalid or incomplete, the record is assigned to the Error Inventory for correction or deletion of the code.
Only one Action Code may be assigned at one time to a record. The priority of the Action Codes is 320, 4XX, 6XX, 3XX, 2XX.

Types of Errors

This subsection provides a description of the types of errors generated during Form 1042, processing.
The Error Resolution System (ERS) identifies errors according to type and priority. This will show in the record heading.
- Action Code Error (Priority I)
- Section Error (Priority II) – includes terminus error and ISRP problem code.
- Validity Error (Priority III)
- Math/Consistency Error (Error Codes) (Priority IV)
There may be records where the TE finds programming has not furnished a section or a field needed to solve an error. In this event, the TE can use GTSEC. This must be reported to Headquarters for correction of the display.

3.22.110.20.1 (11-17-2017)

Priority I Errors - Action Code/Unpostable Code Errors

Description:
- All records with an invalid Action Code assigned by C&E are placed in the Error Inventory and is displayed as a Priority I Error.
- All records with a valid Action Code are assigned to a Suspense Inventory and is displayed as a Priority I Error.
Display – The Action Code for the record with the literal description of the action or unpostable condition is shown.

Correction Procedures – Process Priority I errors as follows:

If	Then
Suspense action is required	Enter SSPND with the correct Action Code.
Suspense action is not required	Enter "000" in the Clear field (CL) field.

Note:

Except for priority statute and manual refund cases, do not remove the document from the block.

See IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions procedures for correcting Priority I Action Code errors in Suspense and Unpostable Code Correction.

3.22.110.20.2 (11-17-2017)

Priority II Errors - Section Errors

Most edit, missing section and terminus errors are eliminated by the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) system. However, edit errors and/or terminus errors may be present if normal ISRP validity checks have been bypassed.
Edit Error – A section with an error detected by ISRP. Edit errors are coded as follows:
- Code 1 – Split screen transmission, key verifier changed 4 or more digits of TIN, or the original entry operator indicated a required section is missing.
- Code 2 – CATCH-ALL ISRP ERROR: Any error attributed to ISRP not described below, such as invalid characters in a field, or a combination of errors listed below.
- Code 3 – Invalid Section ending point.
- Code 4 – Invalid field length.
- Code 5 – Questionable section - the ISRP operator input the same section more than once. The computer program drops all duplicate sections and display on the error screen the first one encountered.
  
  Note:
  
  When displayed, this type of error displays all input fields, except for the Remittance in Section 01 of the section in error. Transcribed data will be present. Computer generated data will not be present.
Correction Procedures:
- Check all fields of the section when this condition exists verifying fields are entered as coded.
- If no correction is needed, or once the section is correct, transmit from the bottom of the screen.
- If the section needs to be deleted, enter DLSEC with the section number.
Terminus Error: This error is caused by a section with variable length input fields containing an erroneous size field.
- When displayed, this type of error shows all input fields of the terminus section. Transcribed data will be present. Computer generated fields or Remittance Field for Section 01 will not be present.
- All fields present for the section must be examined and the necessary correction(s) made to all the fields.
Correction Procedures:
- Command Code CRECT is displayed. If the section needs to be deleted, use DLSEC to delete the section.
- If no corrections are needed, transmit from the bottom of the screen.

3.22.110.20.3 (11-17-2017)

Priority III - Field Errors

Definition – Any field that does not meet the requirement(s) for that field is shown as a Priority III error. Consistency and or relationships with other fields will not be a factor.
Some reasons for this type of error are:
- Non-numeric character in a numeric field.
- Non-alphabetical character in an alpha field.
- Blank space in a numeric field.
- Blank in the first position of an alpha field if followed by significant data.
Display – Every field displayed is in error (see Exception below).
- All fields with a Priority III error is displayed in columnar format in the order encountered in the record.
- An overflow field is identified by all question marks for a money field or a single pound sign in the last position of a name line.
Correction Procedures:
1. Correct every error field displayed using the specific instructions within each section for the field in error.
2. Check the information on the source document to see if each displayed field is correctly coded and transcribed.
3. Enter the correct data for each field displayed.
4. If no data is to be in a displayed field, blank the field.
5. Transmit.

3.22.110.20.4 (01-01-2015)

Priority IV Errors - Consistency/Math Errors

Definition – Any valid field used in any computation in which the result is inconsistent with (or contrary to) any other valid field will have Error Code 001-999 assigned and is shown as a Priority IV Error.
Display – These errors are displayed with the Error Code assigned to them for the specific error in ascending numerical order. The screen display shows the error code assigned and the fields needed to make the necessary correction.
1. The blank field "CL" is displayed for the entry of a Clear Code on records where the possibility exists that a change or correction may not be needed.
2. All errors must be resolved by either eliminating the error or entering a Clear Code.
Correction Procedures:
- Correct all coding and transcription errors.
- If the data in the field is correct, enter a "C" in the Clear Code field.

3. CCC "D" and "R" are used together.

Correction Procedures:

If a previously reinput return is received in ERS, ensure all CCCs are entered in Field 01CCC before making any other correction.
If CCC "G" is present, then: Delete any other CCC in Field 01CCC (except "W" and "3" if needed). If there is any question the return is amended, research BMFOLT for a TC 150. If present, delete the CCC "G" and enter any necessary data.

Note:

If the majority of the lines in the ROFTL (Lines 1-60) have an entry, SSPND 351 for Rejects to input the missing data.

If there is an overpayment amount on Line 70a/70b, there must be a CCC "E" or"S" in Field 01CCC. CCC "X" may also be necessary.

If	Then
The credit box on Line 71 is checked,	Enter CCC "E" .
The refund box on Line 71 is checked,	Enter CCC "S" .
Both boxes on Line 71 are checked,	SSPND 351 to Rejects for research.
Neither box on Line 71 is checked, and you are corresponding for another reason	SSPND 21X and use literal: Please explain whether you want your overpayment applied as a Credit or as a Refund.
Neither box on Line 71 is checked, and there is no other need for correspondence,	Enter CCC "E" . (Do not correspond for ONLY this condition.)
The amount is correctly changed from negative to positive,	Delete CCC "E" and CCC "S" (if present).

If CCC "E" and CCC "F" are both present, determine which is correct. If the return is a Final return and there is an overpayment, change CCC "E" to CCC "S" .
If CCC "D" and CCC "R" are both present, determine which is correct and delete the incorrect CCC.
Look under the specific individual instructions for each code for other possible corrections.

Rejects Correction Procedures:
1. If a return from C&E with an ERS Action Code 650 is received, ensure all CCCs are entered in Field 01CCC before making any other correction.
2. If CCC "X" is required because of a NO REPLY condition and there is an overpayment, CCC "E" or CCC "S" must still be present in Field 01CCC along with CCC "X" and CCC "3" .
3. If a return is received from the Statute Unit with instructions to process the return, ensure all necessary CCCs are entered.
4. If an erroneous short-year or fiscal-year return was sent to be cleared by Statutes, delete CCC "W" (if present).
5. If correcting the tax period to a non-Statute tax period, do not enter CCC "W" because the corrected tax period no longer makes it Statute criteria.

3.22.110.21.5.1 (11-18-2019)

CCC A - Qualified Derivatives Dealer (QDD) Statement Attached

2. If there is a positive amount on Lines 1-60, there must be an amount in Field 0764E, unless a negative amount in Field 0764A reduces Field 0764E to zero.
3. If the total of entries on Lines 1-60 (sections 03-06) differs from the total tax ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ then Field 0764E will underprint, but will not be invalid.
4. If Field 0764E underprints but Field 0764A does not, there is probably a transcription error in Field 0764A. (If Field 0764A is negative, the field must be negative.)
Correction Procedures:
1. Correct all misplaced entries, coding and transcription errors.
2. If Field 0764E is invalid, verify that Field 0762D (income) is entered correctly. If not, see IRM 3.22.110.24.7, Field 0762D.
3. Field 0764E must be present if there is an entry in Field 07TQA unless reduced by a negative amount on Line 64a and will underprint if blank or not entered correctly.
4. The field will underprint if the computer's computation (combining all allowable amounts on Lines 1-60 and Line 64a) differs from the taxpayer's amount ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡
Correction Procedure for Line 64e Underprint:
1. Correct misplaced entries, coding and transcription errors.
2. If the taxpayer has computed Line 64e to a negative amount:
  1) And it is caused by a negative amount on Lines 1-60, assign TPNC 90 #301.
  2) If caused by a negative amount on Line 64a being larger than Field 07TQA, then reduce the adjustment amount on Line 64a so that it is equal to the amount in Field 07TQA (even if zero). Assign TPNC 90 #303, with literal:
  The negative adjustment amount for your adjustment of under-withheld tax on corporate distribution on Form 1042 cannot be larger than the total tax liability reported. We have reduced the amount accordingly.
3. Assign TPNC 02.

Regardless of where the forms are prepared, Rejects must enter the CCC "O" into Field 01CCC (and on the return, in brown pencil). If there is an error affecting the refund amount, send the proper TPNC.

If	Then
The taxpayer wants all or part of the overpayment transferred to a different return, tax year, EIN, etc., or shows part of the overpayment is to be refunded and part credit elect to the following year: Note: In this case the taxpayer may check both boxes on Line 71.	Do not prepare a Form 3465, if there is a notation in the margin of the return indicating C&E already prepared and sent this form.
The credit transfer can be done in the Rejects Unit,	The Form 3465, is unnecessary.
All of the overpayment is to be transferred,	Enter CCC "X" .
Only part of the overpayment is to be transferred (credit elect) and the rest refunded:	1. Reduce a credit amount (Lines 65-67b) by the amount to be transferred. 2. Reduce the credit amount, total and overpayment on the return and ERS system to reflect only the amount to be actually refunded. This is true for both computer-generated and manual refunds. Note: Even though it is part of the overpayment the taxpayer wants carried over to the following year, you are not transferring part of the REFUND, but part of the CREDIT amount leading up to the refund. 3. The above is to be done whether the Form 3465, was prepared or the credit transfer was done in the Rejects unit. 4. Because what now shows on ERS is the refund amount, CCC "S" will be in Field 01CCC and on the return. Note: Do not enter a CCC "X" (to hold the credit to be transferred in the module) if any part of the overpayment is to be refunded as this prevents the refund from being released.

3.22.110.24.28 (01-01-2023)

Field 0770B - Overpayment Excise Tax Amount

Field 0770B is a 15-position numeric field.
The field is located on Line 70b.
The amount must be in dollars and cents.
Entries in this field are only valid if there is a valid entry in Field 0764D showing liability for Excise Tax. Employment Code F must be present on ENMOD.
The amount in the field is the negative difference between Field 0764E (net tax liability) and Field 0768 (payments).

Note:

If there is an overpayment (line 68 is greater than Line 64e), and the only liability reported is on line 64d (i.e., lines 64a-64c are blank and only line 64d includes an amount and that amount is equal to the total net tax liability on line 64e if completed), then the overpayment must be entered on line 70b.

If the overpayment is a refund, CCC "S" must appear in Field 01CCC and there must be a 2 in Field 0771. The exceptions are:

Do not enter CCC "S" when	Instead
A refund is claimed, and the chapter 4 status code are not codes 5-7,	Enter CCC "E" . Note: Refunds are not allowed in this case.
A refund is claimed, and the QI does not show any of the following chapter 3 status codes: 09 - Withholding Foreign Partnership 11 - Withholding Foreign Trust 12 - Qualified Intermediary 13 - Qualified Securities Lender – Qualified Intermediary 35 - Qualified Derivatives Dealer	Enter CCC "E" . Note: Refunds are not allowed in this case.

If the overpayment is a credit elect or both Line 71 checkboxes are empty, CCC "E" must be in Field 01CCC and Field 0771 must be blank. The exceptions are:

Do NOT enter CCC "E" when	Instead
The overpayment is≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡,	Remove CCC "E" if present.
The taxpayer shows the overpayment is to be applied to a different tax period or return,	SSPND 351 and notate "Transfer Overpayment" on the Form 4227. Do not make any corrections to the return.
There is no overpayment on Line 70a or 70b (either originally or removed due to a math error),	Remove CCC "S" and CCC "E" if present.
Neither or both checkboxes on Line 71 are checked and there is an overpayment and you are corresponding for another condition,	SSPND 21X for all other info needed and add literal: Please explain whether you want your overpayment applied as a Credit or as a Refund. (Enter CCC "E" if you have no other reason to correspond unless the return is truly a Final, then enter CCC "S" .)

Invalid Conditions:
1. There is a non-numeric character in the field.
2. The field will underprint if the computer's amount differs from the taxpayer's ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡
3. Interest or penalty is included as part of the refund computation.
4. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡
5. A refund that is in Interest Jeopardy must be processed as a Manual Refund if the amount meets the service center criteria. See IRM 3.22.110.21.5.7, CCC "O" , for more information.
  
  Reminder:
  
  The interest free period for a Chapter Three Withholding Credit on Form 1042 is 180 days.
6. An overpayment on Form 1042 can be either a refund or credit elect to the following year, but not both. If the taxpayer shows part of the overpayment is to be refunded and part is carried forward to the following year, SSPND 351 to Rejects. Annotate on Form 4227"Refund Credit Elect."
Remittance Correction: If there is a remittance amount with the return causing an overpayment.
1. Look at Lines 65-67b to see if the remittance amount is equal to one of these credits. If so, delete the credit entry on the line and from the field.
2. If it is not equal to Lines 65-67b, research BMFOLI to see if the remittance should be transferred to another tax period or return. If so, SSPND 351 to Rejects and notate "Transfer Remittance " on Form 4227.
3. If research yields no results, SSPND 21X with literal:
  Does the remittance sent with your ____ Form 1042 belong to this EIN, and if so, to which tax return, tax year and quarter should it be applied?
  
  Note:
  
  Insert the tax year of the Form 1042 for which you are corresponding.
4. Rejects follows the Reply/No Reply instructions under IRM 3.22.110.21.4, Field 01TXP, to process the return and remittance.

Correction Procedures:

Correct misplaced entries, coding and transcription errors.
If Field 0770B has an entry but Field 0764D is blank, move the data to the correct line and field (Field 0770A, Line 70a).

If the overpayment or balance due is on the wrong line of the return, so Field 07B/D has the correct ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ amount but the wrong sign:

If	Then
You change the plus to a minus,	1. Enter CCC "E" or "S" into Field 01CCC (as correct) and 2. Enter a 1 into Field 0771 if the overpayment is a refund.
You change the minus to a plus,	1. Delete CCC "E" or "S" from Field 01CCC and 2. Delete the 1 from 0771, if present.

SSPND 351 to Rejects:

	If
•	It cannot be determined how the taxpayer computed the balance due.
•	Line 63c(1) has an entry, and the refund claimed includes that amount, Notate Form 4227, Line 63c(1) "Refund Credit Elect." The amount on Line 63c(1) is only allowed as a credit.
•	The taxpayer wants all or part of the refund transferred to a different tax period or return. Notate Form 4227"Refund Transfer."

Do not send a TPNC if there is no underprint in the balance due/refund field (07B/D). If there are underprints in Field 0764E, but NOT in 07B/D, then verify all money fields in Section 07 are entered correctly. Remember ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Fields 0763A and 0763C will underprint if the difference is ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, but Field 07B/D will not underprint for an error ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ In this case, bring up the underprints in Field 0764E. Do NOT send a TPNC in this case.
If there is an underprint, ensure the tax and payments total are entered correctly and there is no penalty or interest included. Assign TPNC 01.

Beneficial Owner	Generally, the person who is required under U.S. tax principles to include the payment in gross income on a tax return.

ITIN	Individual Taxpayer Identification Number assigned by the IRS Austin Campus due to an accepted Form W-7/Form W-7SP/ application. This is a nine-digit valid permanent number beginning with 9 and fourth and fifth digits being 50 through 65, 70 through 88, 90 through 92, and 94 through 99.

The NRA will file a Form 1040-NR with a copy of their Form 1042-S attached. This is basically the same as a U.S. citizen filing a Form 1040 with a Form W-2 attached.
Participating Foreign Financial Institution (PFFI)	Foreign financial institution that has agreed to follow the requirements of an FFI agreement with the IRS with respect to its chapter 4 withholding obligations.

Exhibit 3.22.110-10

♦Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review♦

Exhibit3.22.110-10Frivolous Arguments Criteria

Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review

Potential Frivolous Arguments	Description
Alleged Churches/First Amendment	Income from non-religious sources and may claim a vow of poverty.
Altered Form	Altering any or all line items with the intent of facilitating non-compliance with the tax laws.
Altered Jurat/UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) 1-207 or UCC 1-308	Return has income and deductions but the jurat was altered or stricken. May include reference to UCC 1-207/UCC 1-308 or a statement the return was not signed under penalties of perjury.
Amended Returns/Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement.	Amended return or a Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, filed to obtain a total refund of all taxes paid in prior years, based on a tax avoidance argument.
C-Filings	This frivolous position includes the following four categories: Files a return claiming several types of deductions, credits, or overpayments/refunds that have no relation to reality and because of their outrageous character, qualify as frivolous returns. Files a return containing the filers identifying information but does not request a refund, often lacking sufficient information to determine a tax liability. Files a return with several types of rambling dialogue or r confusing arguments that no one could reasonably view as a good faith effort to follow the law. Files a return that tries to send some type of message or protest to the IRS, does not include sufficient identifying information for the IRS to either determine the identity of the taxpayer or correspondent or return address.
Challenges to Authority/Due Process	Questions several administrative authorities such as delegation orders, summons authority, Privacy Act, etc. Argues that they must be afforded a hearing or a trial before taxes can be assessed or before property can be seized.
Challenges to Authority/Title 26 or law in Other Documents	Argues Title 26 of the United States Code is not law because it was never enacted as named.
Collection Issues	Files frivolous documents contending several collections issues are invalid (e.g., Offers in Compromise, Collection Due Process Requests, Installment Agreements, Appeals Requests, etc.) because they are not filed and signed by someone with delegated authority. They may have no certificate of assessment attached, do not comply in form or content with a State or Local law, are not in a certain format or lack a valid OMB (Office of Management and Budget) number or other frivolous positions.
Disclaimer	Submits a disclaimer stating, disclaims the liability for the tax due, making the liability on the return zero.
Fifth Amendment	Assertion of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination as a basis for not providing any financial information.
Foreign Income	Argues that United States citizens and residents are not subject to tax on their wages or other income derived from sources within the United States, as only foreign-based income or income received by nonresident aliens and foreign S Corporations from sources within the United States is taxable.
Form 1099-OID (Original Issue Discount)	An individual or business files a return reporting false amounts of income (Other or Miscellaneous income) and claim a false amount of income tax withholding approximately equal to the amount of falsely reported income. Although the returns report income, they do not calculate any tax due. Some of the returns have Form 1099-OID (Original Issue Discount) attached and some have Form 1096. Other false financial instruments may be filed in the place of or in addition to the Form 1099-OID such as Form 2439, promissory notes, bonds, sight drafts, etc.
IRC 861 Business Employment Tax (BMF 861)	Argument targets employers and advises them wages are exempt from withholding. These taxpayers rely on Sections 861 through 865 of the Code and the regulations (in particular, Treasury Regulation 1.861-8), promoters of this scheme advise employers to stop withholding and paying payroll taxes on their employee's wages. In addition, some employers file amended payroll tax returns and request refunds of previously paid payroll taxes.
IRS is a Private Organization/Collects Tribute, Not Taxes	Argues the IRS is an entity named the Internal Revenue and Tax Service, Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 1933, it is a collection agency for the Federal Reserve Bank, or is part of the United Nations and is clandestinely leading the tax-paying public into a "new world order."
Not a Person	Argues a taxpayer is not a "person" within the meaning of IRC 7701(a)(14).
Obscene, Vulgar, Harassing	Submits documents or other materials indicating non-filing is due to dissatisfaction with tax policies or taxation in general. Often, this argument is expressed with obscene, vulgar, or crude language and characters in an extremely demeaning manner.
Protest Against Government Action/Inaction	Argues that refusal to file or pay is justified because they disagree with government policies or spending plans.
Sixteenth Amendment	Argues the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified and therefore the federal government does not have the legal authority to collect an income tax without apportionment.
Straw Men	Argues the government has created an entity separate and distinct from the taxpayer - a "straw man" and any tax obligations are exclusively those of the "straw man."
Taxes are Voluntary/Law Does Not Require	Submits a return, amended return or correspondence that argues income taxes are voluntary.
U.S. vs. Long	Submits a return with zero money amounts. To explain the zeros inserted on the form the individual references U.S. vs. Long.
Unsigned Returns	The individual completes a return but does not sign, a statement indicating disagreement with the tax system is attached or added to the return.
Valuation	Income is not taxable because of the declining fair market value of the dollar, because the dollar is not backed by gold/silver, because the value of services is offset by the value of the labor (barter income), etc.
Zero Returns (ZERO)	Submits a return with zero money amounts on all or most line items on the form (e.g., IRC 861, Form 2439, OID and other BMF filings that claim no income and request refunds). See Rev. Rul. 2004-34. A statement is attached claiming there is no section of the Internal Revenue Code that established an income tax liability. The statement may also have arguments about the definition of income. There are several variations on this type of filing such as those bearing the words "nunc pro tunc" and "not liable." Note: Returns with only zeros, no entries, are blank, or show "None," "Not Liable," etc. with no evidence of a frivolous argument are not to be considered as frivolous returns.
Other	All others including those in Notice 2010-33 or any subsequent superseding notice. See also http://www.irs.gov/Tax-Professionals/The-Truth-About-Frivolous-Tax-Arguments-Introduction on IRS.gov. This category includes non-filer accounts resulting from initial compliance check such as cross-reference TINs. Note: Frivolous arguments citing "Collection Due Process" (CDP) must be reviewed by Collections for possible referral to Appeals. Refer to IRM 5.19.8, Collection Appeal Rights, for more information.
