Program Scope and Objectives

  1. Overview:This IRM provides information on CFOL Command Codes TPCIN and TPCOL. Details below:

  2. Purpose: These sections provide instructions for inputting Third Party Contact (TPC) information, using command code TPCIN, and accessing the data already on the Third Party Contact file using command code TPCOL.

  3. Audience: Taxpayer Services (TS), Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE), Tax Exempt and Government Entity (TE/GE), Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), Criminal Investigation (CI), Appeals, as well as other IRS organizations profiled for these restricted IDRS command codes.

  4. Policy Owner: Director, Corporate Data Domain

  5. Program Owner: Tax Data On-line (TDOL), a branch within Corporate Data Domain

  6. Primary Stakeholders: Taxpayer Services (TS), Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE), Tax Exempt and Government Entity (TE/GE), Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), Criminal Investigation (CI), Appeals, Enterprise Operations (EOPS), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). USDA uses an extract of the Farm Subsidy Program data entered and validated using TPCIN (see SERP 3.5.20.5.4.2 for details).

  7. Program Goals: These are the instructions for using the CFOL/IDRS command codes TPCIN and TPCOL.

Background

  1. The Third Party Contact System (TPC) program is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) application designed to maintain a database of all third party contacts that were made regarding a taxpayer during the determination or collection of a tax liability. Each record on the database contains the contact name or general description of the third party contacted (e.g. neighbor, bank name, business associate) along with the date of contact for all contacts made relating to a specific Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). A third party contact is made when an IRS employee initiates contact with a person other than the taxpayer. Notices are provided upon request and issued on-demand to taxpayers and Power of Attorneys (POAs) that have third party contacts.

  2. TPC shares data with four (4) IRS applications, but does not connect directly to each. Data from the Automated Collection System (ACS), Automated Under Reporter (AUR), Electronic Fraud Detection System (EFDS), and the Integration Collection System (ICS) are transferred to the GSS-21 IBM Mainframe on which TPC resides using the Electronic File Transfer Utility (EFTU). Once the IBM Mainframe receives data from the ACS, AUR, EFDS, and ICS applications, a batch job is executed which “pulls” the data that each application stored into the TPC database. TPC also receives data from various 12175 forms from which data is manually entered into the TPC database by TPC Coordinators. TPC receives weekly batch files of third party contacts from the ICS, ACS, AUR, and EFDS applications.

  3. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) uses an extract of the Farm Subsidy Program data entered and validated using TPCIN, at the Fresno Campus. IRS clerks use the IAT tool to process USDA data, which auto fills the information for command code TPCIN with definer code A. TPCIN with definer code U is used to check that work for accuracy.

  4. The Third Party Contact System consists of two command codes, TPCIN and TPCOL.
