Any disclosure issues will be coordinated by the Program Owner. No deviations can begin until reviewed by the Program Owner and approved at the executive level. The IVES program is performed at the following campuses: Austin, Kansas City, Memphis, and Ogden. The following instructions attempt to address the situations that are most frequently encountered when reviewing Form 4506-C. These instructions cannot address every possible issue. Use in conjunction with all the information contained in this IRM and exercise good judgment. Ensure all required information is present during pre-processing review. If information is missing, ensure to address all issues on the nationally approved form letters. See IRM 3.5.20.5.7, Rejecting IVES Requests.

IVES participants are not permitted to deviate on Form 4506-C revision date 10-2022 or later. Requests for return information submitted on a Form 4506-C are not considered taxpayer correspondence unless indicated by the taxpayer/authorized requester and do not fall under Action 61 guidelines in IRM 21.3.3, Incoming and Outgoing Correspondence/Letters. If faxes are received in error, contact the person(s) who mis-sent the information to see if they want the information faxed back or destroyed. IRS employees will utilize the Enterprise File Storage (EFS) for IVES inventory management. Review your current assigned tasks in ‘My Tasks’ tab, complete all assigned tasks before getting next task. Only take one batch at a time when using ‘Get next’ to ensure IVES requests are worked in First-In-First-Out (FIFO) order. See IRM 3.5.20.2.3, Timeliness Guidelines for IVES Request. If unable to complete assigned tasks prior to end of business, notate in EFS comment section, Partial processed batch, completed pages X-X, pages X-X remaining.

Wage and Income Documents for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) (00-0000000) The TDS tutorials are available on the Transcript Delivery System within the Employee User Portal (EUP) to provide procedures for ordering information through TDS. 3.5.20.2.1 (05-09-2024) Inadvertent Unauthorized Disclosure Reporting Procedures An inadvertent unauthorized disclosure is the unintentional disclosure of sensitive but unclassified (SBU) data, including personally identifiable information (PII) and tax information, to a party other than the requester (e.g., PII is faxed to a wrong number, account information is transmitted to an incorrect IVES participant, etc.) See IRM 11.3.1.4, Disclosure and Safeguarding of Returns and Return Information. Immediately upon discovery, you must report all inadvertent unauthorized disclosures to the Office of Privacy, Governmental Liaison and Disclosure Incident Management Office, using the PII Breach Reporting form, see (5). Note: Reporting of unauthorized inadvertent disclosure must be completed immediately by the employee who identifies the disclosure. It is important for the employee and manager to make the distinction between a processing error and an unauthorized disclosure of taxpayer information. This is not an all-inclusive list of scenarios. Sending a taxpayer’s return or return information to a party not authorized on the Form 4506 series or a valid authorization document (e.g., Form 2848, Form 8821, etc.) is an unauthorized disclosure. Caution: An IVES participant must be authorized to receive the taxpayer’s return information at the time the taxpayer signs the Form 4506-C. See IRM 3.5.20.5.6 (2), Processing IVES Requests in TDS. Sending a taxpayer’s return or return information for a tax year not authorized on the Form 4506-C, even if the recipient is a third-party authorized to receive information for another tax year, is considered an unauthorized disclosure. The incorrect IVES products sent to an authorized party could be unauthorized disclosure or a processing error, depending on the products. It is important to understand the difference in products and the order of expanding information. See IRM 3.5.20.6 , IVES Transcript Request Information Note: If the authorized product requested is record of account, providing an account transcript, or return transcript would be providing less information than was authorized, and thus would be a processing error. Note: If the authorized product requested is account transcript, providing a record of account would be providing more information than was authorized, and thus would be unauthorized disclosure. If .

A primary point of contact that would be available daily in case the IRS needs to contact the company. A responsible official, or the person who manages the IVES program at each business office location. Reminder: The company can choose to designate a responsible official or just a principal to oversee the IVES process. The completed application form is faxed into the EFS system and routed to the IVES Coordinator queue. Note: If Form 13803 application is incomplete, See IRM 3.5.20.3 (2). Email the Form 13803 application back to the principal on the request for correction. Participants are notified of the submission fax lines and IVES Coordinator contact information. Take the following steps when the application is received at the IVES site: Send NEW IVES Applications to RAIVS/IVES HQ for review. See IRM 3.5.20.3(2) for more requirements. The HQ analyst will send the applicant the required IVES certifications for signature. Once the signed certifications are received, the HQ analyst will review the application for suitability. If approved, the application will be sent to the site HQ assigns the IVES participant. The assigned site might not be the site where the application was originally received. Note: The HQ analyst will notify the applicant and receiving site if the application is denied. The assigned site will enter the information into the IVES Consolidator Application section of TDS within two business days of receipt from HQ. Note: An account must be activated or "turned on" for each participant in the program. The assigned site will send the participant a "Welcome" message with information regarding their application, including the following: IVES fax number, IVES participant number, and IVES web site link that provides information about the program. Note: Copy HQ analyst(s) on the "Welcome" email message to the participant to show completion of the IVES application process. The principal owner, the responsible official, and each employee authorized to submit requests to the IVES program must register with Secure Access individually to create and have access to an SOR mailbox for receipt of transcripts. The process can be started before, during, or after the IVES application is submitted, but it takes about two weeks to complete. The registration process is a one-time automated process where the user selects a username, password and PIN that will be needed to log in to their SOR mailbox. After verifying the information provided, the IRS mails a registration notice containing a confirmation number to the registrant’s last known address of record. 3.5.20.3.2 (08-15-2022) Requesting Re-submission of Form 4506-C There are situations, such as TDS downtime, that may require the re-submission of IVES requests. Reminder: No sensitive but unclassified (SBU) data, including PII and tax information, can be transmitted through email by either the participant or IVES Site. Before instructing IVES participants to resubmit a request, the following actions must be taken by the IVES coordinator: If... Then... Current processing time frames have not passed, Advise the participant that processing time frames have not expired. Note: No authorization will be given to resubmit. Current processing time frames have expired since the date the participant indicated the request was submitted, Verify that the original request was received by IVES. Note: The EFS search will supply the correct request or batch. Check "My Transaction History" on TDS to determine if the request was processed and the status of the request. The request was processed, Advise participant of status. Do not authorize re-submission of the request. Note: It is the Participant’s responsibility to collect the transcript prior to the SOR Mailbox automatic deletion: 3 days if read, 30 days if unread. The request was not processed and current processing time frames have expired, Ask participant to re-submit the request. Advise the participant to notate on the batch cover sheet that the work is a re-submission and the identity of the individual directing them to re-submit. Process the request immediately. 3.5.20.3.3 (01-01-2023) IVES Program Requirements The IVES coordinator, team manager and/or designated Quality Review employee(s) must handle performing quality review for the program following established guidelines. The review of IVES work will evaluate adherence to program requirements and must involve reviewing new and completed work/batches submitted by participants and/or prepared by IVES clerks. The review includes: Verifying the number of requests in individual batches. Confirming that the Participant Number is present on the batch sheet. Ensuring that all Form 4506-C listed on batch cover sheet are present. Making sure that all years requested are present on a Form 4506-C. Ensuring that IVES batch number is present on batch cover sheet and acknowledgements. Providing feedback to the IVES team on errors that have been caused by employee action. The purpose is to raise awareness about error patterns and to ensure minimum impact on service to the participant. 3.5.20.3.4 (01-01-2023) IVES Processing Fees The IVES processing fee will apply when: A duplicate request for a return transcript is submitted. An incomplete request is submitted (i.e., a request that cannot be processed due to missing or incorrect information). A false or fraudulent request is submitted (i.e., a request that has been altered in some way). Exception: Do not reject a request for line 5b, Customer file number or line 5c, Unique Identifier. See IRM 3.5.20.5.6 (11) & (12). Alteration Explanations and Examples Alterations include information furnished by the participant on line 5a or line 5d of the request. Reject a request if it is apparent that line 5a or 5d has been altered in any fashion, such as writing other than the participant or client information that would indicate overlaying of information already printed on the request (i.e., numbers or letters that could indicate something was already there). This could be to the left, right, above, or below the participant or client information. Reject if line 5a or 5d contains more than one address or a name other than the participant or client. Participants cannot utilize a sticker or electronic text box containing their information for line 5a or Client information on line 5d. line 5a and 5d information for the participant and Client has to be stamped, typed, or handwritten on the request when the taxpayer signs or the request will be rejected. Exception: Do not reject a request for a sticker only containing the SOR mailbox or IVES Participant ID number. TDS will reject the input if the SOR mailbox does not match the participant ID number. Smudges, dots and printer lines anywhere on the request are not considered alterations. Please use judgement for alterations. No record is located. The IRS is otherwise unable to deliver the transcript (e.g., a delegated user’s SOR mailbox is full). The requested product is delivered to the participant’s SOR mailbox. The request is rejected for any reason. Note: The participant must handle all fees incurred by their delegated users. 3.5.20.3.5 (01-01-2022) IVES Dispute Adjustments Dispute adjustments occur when a participant disagrees with a bill received for IVES services: Disputes are handled by the IVES coordinator. Disputes can be made for current billing periods only. All requests for adjustments must be received via fax due to the presence of sensitive but unclassified (SBU) data, which also includes PII and tax information. The requests must be received within 3 days of the end of the month following the billing month. Requests received outside of this timeframe may be declined. Example: Any discrepancy for December billing must be disputed before the end of January. 3.5.20.3.5.1 (01-01-2023) IVES Dispute Adjustments Procedures If an IVES participant disputes any portion of the charges received for transcript requests or has reason to believe a request has failed to be processed, specific information and actions are needed to resolve the dispute. Information that the participant must submit includes: A copy of the original cover sheet showing the participant batch number. Acknowledgement of confirmation that requests were received by IVES showing the IRS batch number, if received. A copy of the original Form 4506-C. The reason for the dispute - such as: duplicate request; truncated transcript; incorrect year received; wrong form number (MFT); wrong type of transcript received; receipt of transcript not requested; missing request. Coordinators will take the following action to resolve disputes: Locate the batch and request information. Research internal tools to determine if a request was processed more than once. Use the Detail Report and My Transaction History on TDS. If... Then... A request was processed more than once, Research to identify the internal batch number. Locate the batch. Review to determine if the duplication was a result of IRS error or if the participant re-submitted the request. The request was resubmitted at the direction of the IVES unit, Check batch cover sheet for notation that the participant was directed to re-submit. Participant was billed twice for a request that he was directed to resubmit, Issue a credit to the participant. Duplication is a result of the participant resubmitting work without having been directed to do so by the IVES Unit, Do not issue a credit to the participant. Duplication is a result of an erroneous IVES action, Issue a credit to the participant. The participant states that they never requested the received product, Research by pulling the designated batch. Verify if a request is present. A request is present, Do not issue a credit to the participant. A request is not present, Issue a credit to the participant. See IRM 3.5.20.2.1, Inadvertent Unauthorized Disclosure Reporting. A participant is provided a transcript for a tax year not requested, Issue a credit to the participant. See IRM 3.5.20.2.1, Inadvertent Unauthorized Disclosure Reporting. The participant states they are missing a request, Research by locating the designated batch. Verify the request is present. Verify if the request has been processed. The request is not present, Advise the participant no request was received. Direct them to submit a new batch to the production fax line. The request is present but not processed, Process the request. Advise participant of status. The request is present and processed, Advise participant of status. Do not authorize re-submission of the request. Note: It is the participant’s responsibility to collect the transcript prior to the SOR Mailbox automatic deletion: 3 days if read, 30 days if unread. Note: Check TDS "Transaction History" for requests to ensure it reflects complete processing and delivery to the SOR mailbox indicated. Validation Code: Meaning: 00 Request was successful and information is available. 02 Request was successful but no information is available. 99 Request failed. Provide the participant with documentation which includes a copy of the acknowledgement sheet showing the confirmation of receipt. It is the participant's responsibility to provide the information listed in paragraph (1) as "information that must be submitted by participant." If the participant is either unable to, or fails to submit this information, deny the requested adjustments. Reminder: Follow the guidelines shown in IRM 3.5.20.5.10.1, Notification of Processing Adjustments. 3.5.20.4 (08-27-2024) Receiving and Batching IVES Requests IVES requests are received for the products listed below: Return transcript, Account transcript, Record of account (ROA) and Wage and income transcript (e.g., Form W-2, Form 1099, etc.) All work received from participants are faxed to the IVES EFS system with an IVES fax cover sheet. Note: IVES participants will no longer be charged according to "Qualified" vs "Non-Qualified" Disclosures. IVES participants must utilize the most recent cover sheet (revision January 2022). The IVES fax cover sheet must include the following information: Participant’s ID Number (six-digit numeric number that may have four leading zeros), Participant’s name, Caution: If a participant’s name does not match the cover sheet, management must verify the participants name on ESAM and/or EFS before rejecting. Telephone number, Fax number, Identifying information for each Form 4506-C request (such as: Name Control, last four digits of TIN, tax period(s) and tax form number), and Note: Do not reject if the participant provides more than the minimum information (e.g., transcript types, full name, etc.). Have the IVES Coordinator provide feedback to the participant if they are inputting full names and/or TINs. Total number of years requests (do not reject if missing). Note: The participant’s email and the batch number are optional. Do not reject if either one of these fields are not completed. Reject the entire batch if required items listed in paragraph three (3) above are missing. In EFS comment section, notate Reject Batch and list the reason for the rejection. Route to the IVES Coordinator queue for handling. Batch the fax from the IVES participant: All IVES batches will be assigned a batch number by the EFS software. This is a unique number used to identify the specific batch or work located in Batch Number field in EFS. This number is not to be changed. The EFS IVES batch number will remain associated with all batch documentation as designated by campus local procedures. This batch number will be used as a reference by the participant in any future contact about work included in the batch. Caution: Do not confuse this internally generated IRS batch number with the batch number the IVES participant provides on the IVES fax cover sheet. In the Batch Data section in EFS, input the Participant ID from the cover sheet. The rest of the entries will auto populate, ensure accuracy and update any that do not match the cover sheet. Input the Participant's batch ID from the cover sheet, if provided, and any other fields that did not auto populate in the Batch Data section. Select the SOR Mailbox from the EFS drop down that matches the first Form 4506-C line 5a. If the SOR Mailbox from line 5a is not already in the EFS drop down, add it into EFS. Exception: Do not enter any special characters into EFS for the participants batch ID, EFS does not accept special characters in this field and will not auto populate with special characters. Run the Duplicate Check tool in EFS to determine when a duplicate batch has been received that will not be processed. Caution: Batches marked as duplicate will not be routed for processing send the batch to the IVES Coordinator. Transcript type must be reviewed along with the Duplicate Check tool data. If a duplicate is found, mark the duplicate check box in the EFS tool, click save. Update the Count Details for both IMF and BMF requests. For Years Requested input the Participant's count from the cover sheet and for Years Received input the number of tax years as listed on the Form 4506-C requests. For Digital signatures input the number of forms submitted with electronic signatures and for 4506-Cs Received input the number of forms submitted with the batch. Caution: Save changes in EFS any time the Count Details are updated. Note: Each transcript requested is a product. Form 4506-C revision date 10-2022 permits requests of up to three wage and income transcripts per year listed. If no specific form type is listed, all forms will be provided. Example: A participant requesting a return transcript and wage and income transcript for specific Form W-2 for 2021 and 2022 on one individual taxpayer would be four products (2021 return + 2022 return + 2021 Form W-2 + 2021 Form W-2) See IRM 3.5.20.2.2 (1) for more examples. Verify that there is a Form 4506-C for each taxpayer, product(s), and tax period shown on the cover sheet. If there are requests in the batch that are not listed on the cover sheet, update the EFS Discrepancy List to show more request information. Use the first blank line number from the cover sheet for the Request Number in the Discrepancy List and list the CFN from line 5b in the Order Number field, if included on the Form 4506-C. If there are requests listed on the cover sheet that are missing from the batch, update the EFS Discrepancy List, notating the missing request and its information. Caution: Save changes in EFS any time the Discrepancy List is updated. If the first or last pages of the fax are missing (missing cover sheet or Form 4506-C are all from the end of the listing), use the Missing Requests tool in EFS to search for the missing half. Caution: Review the Comment section in EFS first to determine if this batch has been identified as a processable partial batch. Processable partial batches have been through the Missing Request process in EFS already. a. When the missing portion of batch is found using the Missing Requests tool in EFS, merge the batches using the EFS tool and continue the batching process. b. If the missing portion of the batch or missing cover sheet is not found in EFS at this point, check the box as incomplete in EFS and click save. This will route the batch to the Incomplete Batch queue where it will be retained until another clerk merges the missing portion as above or it is routed to the IVES Coordinator queue Note: If the IVES Coordinator determines the batch to be a processable partial batch that is missing batching requirements, they will return it to the batching clerk for completion. IVES Cover sheet, Form 4506-C request, and other batch forms will be retained together in EFS. Notify IVES coordinator or manager when a new SOR Mailbox is identified so it can be added to the global SOR Mailbox drop down. Note: Ensure IVES requests are processed in FIFO order. See IRM 3.5.20.2.3, Timeliness Guidelines for IVES Requests, and see IRM 3.5.20.2(8), General Information and Requirements for IVES Requests. Generate and download the acknowledgement from EFS. Fax an acknowledgement of the verified information to the participant for all batches received. Acknowledgements must be sent throughout the day as work is batched, ensuring acknowledgements are faxed before the batches are processed. The acknowledgement must include the following: IVES batch number. Participant batch number (if available). Volume of products requested. Actual volume received. Comments regarding any discrepancies, such as requests listed on the cover sheet that are missing from the batch, if appropriate. Caution: Take appropriate measures to ensure acknowledgements are sent to the correct fax number to avoid potential disclosures. 3.5.20.5 (08-27-2023) Requests for Transcripts Under IVES IVES teams in AUSPC, KCSPC, Memphis, and OSPC use TDS to deliver transcripts to IVES participants’ SOR mailboxes. Businesses apply to participate in the IVES program and register for Secure Access to obtain an SOR mailbox. Expedited delivery service is only provided through the IVES program. If... Then... Requesters have not applied to participate in the IVES program, Reject the requests as third-party RAIVS requests. In EFS comment section, notate Reject Batch and list the reason for rejection. Route to the IVES Coordinator queue for handling. The IVES Coordinator will send the requestor information on applying for the IVES program. An IVES request is rejected, Fax the reject notification to the number provided by the participant. (See IRM 3.5.20.5.7, Rejecting IVES Requests) Keep the batches intact. A participating company will fax Form 4506-C requests to the assigned fax line with an approved IVES fax cover sheet. Effective Jan 1, 2022, IVES participants will pay the user fee of $2.00 per transcript requested. Note: EFS Duplicate tool ensures duplicate batches are not processed. If you receive a call or email from a participant before batching is completed stating they sent a request in twice (duplicate) by accident, advise them our software attempts to avoid duplicate processing. The fee is paid by the participant or a business representative through Pay Gov and searching for keyword "IVES" . IVES program participants are billed monthly depending on usage. Participants are charged and billed for each situation listed below. A return transcript was ordered and processed. An account transcript was ordered and processed. A record of account was ordered and processed. A wage and income transcript (e.g., Form W-2, Form 1099) transcript was ordered and processed. The IRS was unable to fill the request because incorrect/incomplete information was provided. Multiple requests for the same taxpayer and tax period(s) were submitted, unless specifically requested by the IVES site. A request fitting the Identity Theft criteria. A request for any transcript type is rejected for any reason. The business day for the IVES production ends at 4:00 AM Eastern Time (ET). With the implementation of EFS, both day shift and swing shift production will be captured together. Any impacts to production must be reported on the day it occurs. Faxes or inquiries received prior to Midnight ET are considered received on the current business day. Faxes or inquiries received at Midnight ET or later are considered received the next business day. Business days are weekdays (Monday through Friday), excluding any federal holidays. 3.5.20.5.1 (08-27-2024) Pre-Processing Review of IVES Requests A pre-processing review must be performed on all IVES requests prior to processing, including: Reviewing IVES requests for completeness. Authorization to release tax return information. Signature authority for tax return information. Identification and Authentication. Identity (ID) theft research. All IVES requests must be submitted on a Form 4506-C with an acceptable revision date in order to process. IVES requests on Form 4506-C must have a revision date of 10-2022 or later. Note: Effective March 1, 2023, all IVES requests on Form 4506-C must have a revision date 10-2022 or later. Enter reject criteria in the EFS Discrepancy List. The Request Number corresponds with the cover sheet line number being rejected. List the CFN from line 5b in the Order Number field, if included on the Form 4506-C. Examples include: Forms, tax years or periods are missing from batch. Line 5a is incomplete. Signature is missing. Note: Form 4506-C requires two signatures if taxpayers are listed on both line 1a and 2a. Signature is dated more than 120 days prior to IRS received date. Electronic signatures are submitted from participants that are not approved per the EFS E-Signature tool.

IVES request must contain the following items: Taxpayer name Taxpayer TIN Taxpayer address (current, prior or both) IVES participant name and address on line 5a IVES participant ID number for Form 4506-C revision 10-2022 SOR mailbox on line 5a Client name, phone number, and address on line 5d for Form 4506-C Tax form or tax type for 6a, 6b, or 6c requests Transcript type clearly marked Tax year(s) or period(s) requested Signature attestation box must be clearly marked Signature of taxpayer or authorized representative If signed by authorized representative, the authorized representative check box must be marked for Form 4506-C If electronically signed, the electronically signed check box must be marked for Form 4506-C Printed/typed name below signature Signature date (must be within 120 days of IRS received date) Caution: Do not accept electronic signature date(s) within the electronic signature. The signature date must be captured in the signature “Date” field to be considered valid. Reject if the date is not in the signature date field. Title (BMF) Spouse’s signature must be present if listed on line 2a for Form 4506-C If spouse field is signed by authorized representative, the authorized representative check box must be marked for Form 4506-C If spouse electronically signed, the electronically signed check box must be marked for Form 4506-C Printed/typed name below signature Do not send information to a third-party whose name and address is not listed on the properly signed consent. Form 4506-C, must have the IVES participant’s information on line 5a and IVES client information on line 5d. Caution: An intentional disclosure of taxpayer information by a federal employee based on an invalid consent is an unauthorized disclosure and could result in a felony criminal offense. Reject if line 5a or 5d contains more than one address for the IVES participant or IVES client. For Form 4506-C, reject if line 5a contains more than one listed IVES participant. Reject if line 5d contains more than one listing for the Client Company. Note: Some IVES participants collect transcripts for a Client Company that has been authorized by the taxpayer. The Client Company information will be listed on line 5d. This ensures the taxpayer is informed of which companies will be receiving their tax transcripts. If the IVES participant is also the Client Company, the IVES participant information will be entered on both line 5a and 5d. These fields cannot be blank or Not Applicable (NA). Form 4506-C revision 10-2022 cannot utilize c/o or DBA and will be rejected if more than one company is present on line 5a or 5d. IVES participants cannot use a sticker or text box to overlay line 5a or 5d information. The IVES participant and Client Company’s information must already be stamped, typed or written on the Form 4506-C when the taxpayer signs. Exception: IVES participants may add the IVES Participant ID number or SOR mailbox after the taxpayer signs by using a sticker, a text box, a stamp, typing or writing on line 5aiii. The SOR or Participant ID still cannot overlay any of the original information entered anywhere else on line 5a. Note: Form 4506-C revision 10-2022, the SOR mailbox is only accepted on line 5aiii. Client Companies receive transcript requests from IVES participants. The Client Company name, address, and phone number must be present on the Form 4506-C when the taxpayer signs. Reject if line 5d contains more than one name or address for the Client Company. Note: If the IVES participant is also the Client Company, the IVES participant information will be entered on both line 5a and 5d. These fields cannot be blank or Not Applicable (NA). line 5d rules only apply to Form 4506-C with revision date of 10-2022 or later. If return transcripts from line 6a, account transcripts from line 6b, and/or record of account from line 6c are requested on Form 4506-C, then taxpayers must show the tax type for the information or copies they are requesting. Types of tax are categorized into a two-digit Master File Tax Code (MFT). Taxpayers select this as a tax form or form series on line 6 of Form 4506-C. Reject the request if the entry on line 6 of Form 4506-C is blank or does not match the MFT for the types of returns the taxpayer files, letting the requestor know the entry on line 6 is incorrect or invalid. Below is a list of the commonly used MFTs with associated tax forms: MFT 02: Form 1120 series MFT 06: Form 1065 MFT 30: Form 1040 series Note: For Wage & Income requests, no tax type is required. See IRM 3.5.20.6.4 Wage and Income Information (Form W-2, etc) for specific instructions. Example: If the taxpayer enters Form 1065 on line 6 but the taxpayer filed Form 1120 series under MFT 02, reject the request for incorrect/invalid entry on line 6. If the requestor enters Form 1120 on line 6 and the taxpayer filed Form 1120-S, process the request since the type of tax (MFT) is correct. Caution: Do not confuse the type of tax (MFT) with the taxpayer’s filing requirement. The requestor must still have authorization and sign the request with the correct title for the taxpayer’s filing requirement. If line 6 lists more than one form type, reject the request. If wage and income transcripts from line 7 are requested and no specific form type is listed on line 7a, "all forms" will be supplied. Up to three specific form types can be listed on line 7a and when listed, those wage and income transcripts will be supplied. Only supply wage and income transcripts for the taxpayer(s) indicated in line 7b. If no box is indicated, supply wage and income transcripts for all taxpayers listed on line 1a and 2a. The taxpayer(s) signature or authorized person(s) signature must be on the request document to provide authorization for disclosure. The print/type name line on Form 4506-C must also be completed to identify the signer. Reject if either are missing. All taxpayer(s) listed on line 1a and 2a (if included) must sign and complete the print/type name line. Reject if missing. If signed by authorized representative, authorized signatory check box must be marked on Form 4506-C for IMF and BMF. Reject if missing. Electronic signatures are acceptable, reject if signature is stamped. If electronically signed, the check box must be marked on Form 4506-C. Reject if missing. Signature(s) can extend beyond its intended field. Reject if covering required visible text for processing in the surrounding fields. If there is more than one taxpayer listed, the electronic signing process must be designed to separately identify and authenticate the signer or signers. The IRS has authority to disclose taxpayer return information to a party designated by the taxpayer in the manner prescribed in the regulations for IRC 6103. The regulation requires that the IRS receive the consent within 120 days of the date that the taxpayer or authorized representative signed the consent. A consent that is pre-dated or has a future date is not valid (i.e., signature date is after the IRS received date). If an IRS Received Date, handwritten received dates, or fax receipts with dates and time stamped by the receiving fax machine is not present, determine the received date using the following priority: Incoming fax receipts received prior to Midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) are considered received on the current date. Incoming fax receipts received at Midnight EST or later local time are considered received the next business day. Today's date minus three (3) business days. Ensure the request is not altered. Alterations include any changes made to the original information input on Form 4506-C by the taxpayer. This can include any of the following: Deleted items. Added items. Crossed out items. Writing over original entries. Indication of white-out. Indication of cutting and pasting over original entries. Note: IVES participants may add the IVES Participant ID number or SOR mailbox after the taxpayer signs by using a sticker, a text box, a stamp, typing or writing on line 5aiii. The SOR or Participant ID still cannot overlay any of the original information entered anywhere else on line 5a. Note: On Form 4506-C revision 10-2022, IVES participants may no longer modify the taxpayer’s request. Consider any line through a taxpayer, product, or year an alteration and reject the form. A mixture of typed, handwritten, or different font entries is not an alteration. Smudges, dots and lines across the page are not considered alterations. Do not consider the request altered if the IVES participant typed or handwrote clarifications of poor quality or barely legible entries near the original entry. However, the clarifications cannot cover the original entries. Example: The IVES participant retyped the taxpayer’s name and TIN to the right of the original entries because they were very light and barely legible. The typing did not cover any part of the original entries. Do not consider typing as an alteration. Example: The IVES participant typed over the taxpayer’s original entry. Consider this an alteration. 3.5.20.5.2 (08-27-2024) Authorization to Release Tax Return Information IRC 6103(c), Disclosure of Returns and Return Information to the Designee of the Taxpayer and IRC 6103(e), Disclosure to Persons Having Material Interest, authorizes release of information covered in these procedures. Requests submitted under IRC sections must be signed by the taxpayer, an authorized representative, or a person having material interest. Research Disclosure information by going to Disclosure Information and IRM 11.3.2.4, Persons Who May Have Access to Returns and Return Information Pursuant to IRC 6103(e). If you still have questions, or there are questions regarding material interest send an email to *Disclosure for assistance. Reminder: Documentation of authorization such as Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, or Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, must be submitted. All IRS employees are responsible for protecting taxpayer data from unauthorized disclosure. The taxpayer owns their tax data and must provide authorization for disclosure. All IVES products, also referred to as transcripts, are considered tax return information. Proper authorization for disclosure includes any of the following: Form 4506-C signed by the taxpayer. Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative. Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization. Form 56, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship. Form 56 must be accompanied by a Will, Trust document, etc. Form 4506-C signed by someone other than the taxpayer who demonstrates material interest and is authorized to sign under IRC 6103(e). Documentation demonstrating authorization must be attached. Examples may include beneficiaries of trusts or administrators of estates. Caution: Multipurpose forms, such as loan applications, are not acceptable as valid authority for return information disclosures. See paragraphs below for examples of acceptable documentation. Note: A Power of Attorney expires upon the death of the person who granted the authority. If the taxpayer is deceased, the POA is invalid. However, there may be a valid POA for the estate signed by the Executor, Personal Representative, Trustee, etc. on file Form 2848 Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative requirements: The taxpayer’s name on the request matches the signature on line 7 of Form 2848 Line 3 must identify the same tax type (income, employment, etc.) or form (1040, 941, etc.), and year or period listed on the request. Note: For the year, accept the year alone ("2021" ) as well as a series of years ("2021-2024" - 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024). If the IVES participant is not listed on line 2 of Form 2848, then line 5a must have the box checked for "Access my IRS records via an Intermediate Service Provider" or "Authorize disclosure to third parties" . The request is signed by either the taxpayer or the representative listed on line 2 of Form 2848. If the transcript request is signed by authorized representative, the check box must be marked for Form 4506-C. Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, requirements: Name on line 1 of the request matches the signature on line 7 of Form 8821. Line 3 must identify the same tax type (income, employment, etc.) or form (1040, 941, etc.), and year or period listed on the request. Note: For the year, accept the year alone ("2021" ) as well as a series of years ("2021-2024" - 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024). If the IVES participant is not listed on line 2 of Form 8821, then line 3 must have the box checked stating "By checking here, I authorize access to my IRS records via an Intermediate Service Provider" . The IVES request is signed by either the taxpayer or the appointee listed on line 2 of Form 8821. If the transcript request is signed by authorized representative, the check box must be marked for Form 4506-C. Written authorization documentation is required for disclosure to parties with a material interest as described in IRC 6103(e). The individual that signsForm 4506-C must provide the documentation to substantiate authorized access to the taxpayer’s return information. Once the documentation and signature have been verified, then any IVES participant can be named on line 5a of the request to receive the authorized information. The most common authorization scenarios are described below. Note: An Administrator, Executor or Trustee whose name is shown on the second name line on the IDRS Entity screen for a decedent’s account can sign the request and be given information. This is sometimes shown with "%" before the name, meaning "c/o" . This person has already provided the IRS with documentation that they are the administrator, executor or trustee of the decedent’s estate. See IRM 11.3.2.4.11, Deceased Individuals. A Personal Representative/Executor/Executrix/Administrator appointed by the Court. These titles show an individual appointed by the court to act on behalf of the decedent. The court will issue a document titled Letters Testamentary, Letters of General Administration, or something similar, to the person appointed. The document is in the format of a court filing, typically one page, and clearly bears the name of the decedent and the appointed individual. Verify that the appointed individual is the same as the person signing the IVES request. A Tax Professional with valid Power of Attorney. When the request form is signed by an individual using the title Attorney, Accountant, or other tax professional, the verification is done using information stored on the Centralized Authorization File (CAF). Use CFINK to verify a valid Power of Attorney has posted to the CAF and clearly names the tax professional that signed the request. The CAF will also show whether the tax professional is authorized to request and receive transcripts. If both checks are positive, issue the information to the tax professional. Trustee of a Trust. In some cases, an individual will die with all of their assets in a trust. In this scenario, no probate is necessary and the court will not appoint a Personal Representative/Executor/Executrix. The Trustee is in charge of the decedent’s estate. Verify that the person signing the IVES request is the verified Trustee. The Trustee can be verified with a Certificate of Trust or by providing a copy of the trust or portions of the trust that clearly state or include all of the following: -The Name of the Trust -Provisions to follow upon death of the Grantor -Trustee provisions naming a co-Trustee or a Successor Trustee upon death of the Grantor -The signature pages A Surviving Spouse. In some cases, an individual will die with all their assets jointly owned with a spouse or other individual. In this scenario, no probate is necessary, and the court usually will not appoint a Personal Representative/Executor/Executrix. The surviving spouse is usually in charge of the decedent's estate. One of several documents must be submitted to authorize the surviving spouse if the spouse is requesting documents/information on the decedent’s individual account (Married Filing Separate, Single, Wage and Income transcripts, etc.). Any one of these documents may show the decedent was married and to whom: - Death certificate - Last Will and Testament - Trust Instrument - Marriage Certificate - Court Document If the surviving spouse’s name is shown on the second name line in IDRS, they can be provided information/copies of the decedent’s individual account based on previously submitted documentation. This is often shown with a "%" before the spouse’s name. Checking Command Code INOLES without the "V" definer may provide more information. Note: A surviving spouse is authorized to receive copies or transcripts for their joint account(s) without providing more authorization documentation. These requests are processed in the same manner as requests for joint account information or copies where both parties are living and only one spouse signed. Trust Officer for a Bank & Trust Company. In some cases, a Bank & Trust Company will be nominated as the estate representative instead of an individual. If a probate is necessary, the Bank & Trust Company will be appointed by the Court to act as the Corporate Representative of the Estate. Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration will be issued authorizing the Bank & Trust Company to act. The Bank & Trust Company employs several Trust Officers that may act for the Bank. The Trust Officer’s name may not match our records or be listed on the Letters issued by the Court. The most important document to verify is the Court appointment. Use the Bank letterhead or other documents submitted to verify the Trust Officer’s authority. It may be necessary to phone the Bank for verification. Heir at Law, Next of Kin, Beneficiary. A family member or beneficiary of an estate may have reason to secure estate tax information or copies of estate tax returns. To make a request, the person must be able to establish a material interest in the estate pursuant to IRC 6103(e). Refer to IRM 11.3.2.4.11, Deceased Individuals, for a full description of material interest including types of documentation that may be submitted as substantiation of material interest. If the transcript request is signed by authorized representative, the check box must be marked for Form 4506-C. If required authorization documentation is not attached to a Form 4506-C IVES request that is signed by someone other than the taxpayer, reject the request. See Exhibit 3.5.20-4, IVES Reject Codes for Participants. Note: An IMF authorized representative is someone other than the taxpayer that has the authority to execute Form 4506-C on their behalf. (Ex. Power of Attorney, Tax Information Authorization, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relation, a surviving spouse). Note: A BMF authorized representative is someone other than the authorized business representative that has the authority to execute Form 4506-C on their behalf. (Ex. Corporate officer, 1 percent or more shareholder, partner, managing member, guardian, tax matters partner, executor, receiver, administrator, trustee, or party other than the company) See IRM 11.3.1.4, Disclosure and Safeguarding of Returns and Return Information. Exception: A surviving spouse is not required to check the Authorized Representative box on Form 4506-C. Do not reject if not marked. Note: The death of a taxpayer renders all previous certificates of guardianship and powers of attorney invalid. However, there may be a valid POA for the estate signed by the Executor, Personal Representative, Trustee, etc. on file. Research other disclosure information by going to Disclosure and Privacy and IRM 11.3.2.4, Persons Who May Have Access to Returns and Return Information Pursuant to IRC 6103(e). If you still have questions send an email to *Disclosure to assist with disclosure authorizations that are not described above or on the Disclosure page. Throughout this IRM, any reference to "taxpayer" includes an authorized party with a valid documentation covering the items requested (e.g., Power of Attorney (POA), Letters Testamentary, etc.). Treat the holder of these valid authorizations as if they were the taxpayer. See IRM 11.3.3.4, Distinction Between Disclosure to Designees and the Conference and Practice Requirements, for more information. 3.5.20.5.3 (01-01-2023) Signature Authority for Tax Return Information All IVES requests for tax return information must be signed by the taxpayer or an authorized representative. Electronic signatures can be accepted, stamped signatures are to be rejected. If signed by someone other than the taxpayer, see IRM 3.5.20.5.2, Authorization to Release Tax Return Information, for required documentation.

Reject if the line is blank. See Exhibit 3.5.20-4. Always check the Authorized Signatures under the Business Type section of the IAT iTV tool on all BMF requests. The iTV tool will populate this section based on current filing requirements. If the iTV tool is down, check for filing requirements using CC INOLES or BMFOLE on IDRS. Caution: Filing requirements on IDRS may appear to be Master File Tax (Code) (MFT), but they are not. If a different title is shown, a Form 2848 or Form 8821 is needed. The authorized representative check box must be marked for Form 4506-C. The filing requirements that show on IDRS are for current filings. If you are looking for older requested information, you must research BMFOLE on IDRS for the Transaction Codes (TC) in the table below that show a change in filing requirements with the effective dates of each. This will assist in determining the authorized signature titles, and whether or not you can fill the request. Example: The current Filing Requirements are for a Form 1120, but the signature title does not match the Form 1120 requirements. Research to see if one of the TCs below are on the account. For this example, there is a TC 090, which shows they are changing to a Small Business or Form 1120S (the date will be off to the right). If the signature matches the requirements for a Form 1120S, process the request. Note: The Filing Requirements can change at any time. Transaction Code Title Explanation TC 074 Deemed Entity Classification Election Indicates the Entity Classification Election is deemed. TC 076 Approved Form 8832 Indicates acceptance of Form 8832, Entity Classification Election. TC 090 Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation Indicates that beginning with the date specified in the transaction, the corporation will be taxed as a Small Business Corporation. Changes. For prior year requests you will need to look at CC TRDBV, BMFOLI, BMFOLT, or BMFOLE to see if they filed the returns they are asking for. Note: This is also associated with the Signature Title. The title(s) listed in the chart below are valid authorized representatives and are the only ones that can be considered. If ... Then ... Information requested is for a Form 1065, US Return of Partnership Income, (See IRM 11.3.2.4.2, Partnerships, and Exhibit 11.3.2-2, Release of Documents/Schedules related to Forms 1065 pursuant to IRC 6103(e)(10)) Filing Requirement 1065-1 The Signature Title must be: Partner Limited Partner Information requested is for a Limited Liability Company (LLC), filed on a Form 1120, Us Corporation Income Tax Return, or Form 1120S, US Income Tax Return for an S Corporation, Filing Requirement 1120-01 Filing Requirement for 1120S will be shown as 1120-02 (See IRM 11.3.2.4.16, Limited Liability Companies (LLC)) Note: An LLC can be a: Single member, and no election to be treated as a corporation - No Annual Filing Requirement as a disregarded entity Multiple member Partnership - Filing Requirement 1065-1 (See box above) Corporation - Filing Requirement 1120-01 (See box below) Employees will have to determine the Signature Title by Filing Requirements shown on CC BMFOLE, which shows the LLC Indicator, to determine what type of LLC: An indicator of "M" is a multimember. An indicator of "S" is a single member. The Signature Title must be one of the following: Managing Member Exception: If the account shows a TC 076 on IDRS Command Code BMFOLE, they may also use the titles of: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Information requested is for a Form 1120, Us Corporation Income Tax Return, or Form 1120S, US Income Tax Return for an S Corporation (See IRM 11.3.2.4.3, Corporations and 11.3.2.4.4, Subsidiary of a Corporation. See also Exhibit 11.3.2-3, Release of Documents/Schedules related to Forms 1120S pursuant to IRC 6103(e)(10).) Filing Requirement 1120-01 Filing Requirement for 1120S will be shown as 1120-02 (See IRM 11.3.2.5.1, One Percent Shareholders.) The Signature Title must be one of the following: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Chief Accounting Officer Any Tax Officer, Including Controller 1 percent Shareholder (Corporation) Shareholder (S-Corporation) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Information requested is for a Form 94X series, Employment Tax Returns (See IRM 11.3.2.4.2(2) (Note) for Form 941 information pertaining to a Partnership and IRM 11.3.2.4.17(3) for Form 941 information pertaining to a Sole Proprietorship.) Employees will have to determine the Signature Title by: Using Command Code INOLES or BMFOLE, which shows the filing requirements, to determine what form they are required to file. Example: A request for a Form 941 is received research on IDRS shows a Form 1120 Filing Requirement). You will then refer to the Form 1120 instructions in this chart to verify the correct Title is used. Information requested is for a dissolved corporation, (See IRM 11.3.2.4.3.(7)) The Signature Title must be one of the following: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Information requested is for an estate, Form 1041, US Income Tax for Estates and Trusts, (See IRM 11.3.2.4.7, Estates.

Request is for return information of a minor’s return, (See IRM 11.3.2.4.10, Minors), The request can be signed by the minor or the parent who signed the return. Note: If a parent signed the return for the minor, the parent’s name will be displayed in the entity section on Master File. Request is for return information of a joint IMF return, The request only requires one taxpayer's signature for processing. Reminder: If you have a form requesting multiple periods, and one spouse is making the request, be sure to verify the person making the request has a right to all of the tax periods requested. Request is for return information of a separately filed IMF return Each taxpayer must sign to receive their individual return information. Note: If only one taxpayer signs, only that taxpayer's return information has been authorized. Request is for wage and income (Form W-2, etc.) information, The request must contain the signature of the payee. Caution: If a joint request is received, each taxpayer must sign to receive their individual Form W-2. Request is for tax return information, is signed by a third-party and no authorization documentation is attached, Research CAF and/or RAF (see below). Research CC CFINK and/or CC RFINK to make sure the signer has been authorized on the CAF or RAF to receive the information requested when the request is signed by a third-party and no POA or other valid authorization is attached. Form 2848 and Form 8821 are entered on CAF. Form 8865 is entered on RAF. Reminder: If signed by authorized representative, check box must be marked for Form 4506-C. If ... Then ... There is a record on CAF, Check record to ensure the period for which the information is requested is authorized. Reject if the POA is deceased or the last mailing was undeliverable. There is a record on RAF, Check the Notice Indicator for "Y" or "N" . Check the record for Action Code "A" or "D" . Caution: Do not provide transcripts, copies, notices, or correspondence to the Reporting Agent if Notice Indicator is "N" or Action Code is "D" The request is for Form W-2 or Form 1099 information, Request a copy of the signed Form 2848 or Form 8821 from the CAF Unit. Note: The wage earner must have authorized disclosure to the holder of the POA or other valid authorization. CAF does not show who signed the authorization. The authorization code is "M" (signifying that additions or deletions may have been made to the authorization), Request a copy of the signed Form 2848 or Form 8821 from the CAF Unit to determine the extent of the modification. The Oral Disclosure Authority Code is present (code permits disclosure of information for tax purposes only), Request a copy of the signed Form 2848 or Form 8821 from the CAF Unit. There is no record on CAF or RAF, Reject the request. See IRM 3.5.20.5.7, Rejecting IVES Requests Note: A Form 8655 authorization is valid for the period specified and all subsequent periods until it is revoked. 3.5.20.5.4 (08-27-2024) Identification and Validation of IVES Requests IVES employees will use the IAT Income Transcript Verification (iTV) tool as the primary source to validate the entries on the requests and verify the identity of the taxpayer. If the iTV tool is unavailable, manual IDRS research is required. When one or more rejection criteria are met, continue research to identify all other issues that will support rejection. Exception: When there is an indication of ID Theft on the account, ensure the name and TIN are correct and see IRM 3.5.20.5.5, Identity Theft Research. When iTV or IDRS returns a response of Unauthorized Access to This Account, forward the IVES request to the manager. Managers will notify the local Planning and Analysis staff, who will take the necessary steps to request access to the account. Managers will retain the original request in a file titled Awaiting Access.

See IRM 3.5.20.5.1 (5). If iTV is available refer to the pop-up screens for instructions. Note: Identity theft (ID theft) takes priority over any other reason for rejection. Note: If the iTV ID Theft results screen shows "Send 14611" for the tax year, no IVES products of any kind can be sent for the tax year. If the tax year states "No ID Theft" but Wage and Income shows "Send 14611" , Wage and Income transcripts may not be sent for the tax year. Send the Form 14611 to the address of record for those tax years that have ID Theft Indicators. Do not send a copy of the taxpayer’s Form 4506-C. Also notify the IVES participant of the reject. See Exhibit 3.5.20-9, Reject Code Definitions for IVES Employees Only, and IRM 3.5.20.5.7, Rejecting IVES Requests. Exception: If the address of record is a Service Center, use the address on line 3 of the request. Send the requested information via TDS for tax years that do not have ID theft indicators. The Form 14611 is a pre-populated form consisting of what is on IDRS. Ensure if there are two names on the Name line, and both are needed, that you input the ampersand "&" between the two names. For decedent accounts, change to "Estate of" and remove "DECD" . If a Surviving Spouse is requesting copies/transcripts for tax years on a joint account with a decedent, check "yes" in the iTV tool pop-up asking if authorization documentation is attached. The Surviving Spouse is authorized to receive copies/transcripts on a joint account associated to their name (documentation is not required). These requests are processed in the same manner as requests on joint accounts where only one spouse signed. Caution: A Surviving Spouse must provide authorization documentation if requesting transcripts on a decedent’s individual account (e.g., Married Filing Separate, Wage & Income transcripts). If the Surviving Spouse is named on the second name line of the Entity section of the decedent’s account in IDRS, they can receive the information without further documentation. See IRM 3.5.20.5.2 (5)(d). If iTV is unavailable, research IDRS following the below procedures to locate ID Theft criteria for IMF requests. Note: The Tax Source Administration Codes are located on Command Code IMFOLE in the miscellaneous field. Caution: A Transaction Code (TC) 972 with the same Action Code (AC), transaction date and secondary date as the TC 971 will reverse the transaction. Do not consider a transaction that has been reversed. IF... THEN... A Transaction Code (TC) 971 with Action Code (AC) 524 with deceased (DECD) in MISC CODE field regardless of tax year or product, Send Form 14611, RAIVS/IVES Additional Actions Needed letter to the address of record unless the request is from the Surviving Spouse on a joint account or other authorized person with documentation.

The IVES fax cover sheet contains specific identifying information about the participant and requests in the batch. The IVES participant ID number is located on the IVES fax cover sheet sent with the batch and listed on line 5aii of Form 4506-C. This is the account number assigned to the business when their IVES application is approved. Input this number in the "Required Participant Number" field in TDS. IVES participants must input their e-Services SOR mailbox username on line 5aiii of Form 4506-C. This mailbox belongs to an individual authorized by the IVES participant to submit transcript requests. Input the SOR mailbox in the "User Name" field on the Product Delivery Options screen in TDS. Note: SOR Mailbox is only accepted on line 5aiii of Form 4506-C. Reject if missing. Participants batch requests in batches of 100 tax years or less. Participants fax batches of requests to their assigned fax lines with an IVES fax cover sheet. Use the "Request IVES Transcript" link in TDS to process requests submitted in the IVES program. The following process will be used when working IVES requests. Caution: Transcripts may no longer be faxed or mailed to third parties, including IVES participants. The only option for the IVES program is delivery to an SOR mailbox associated with an IVES participant account. Review each Form 4506-C request for completeness, authorization, and authentication. Use the following IRM subsections to complete review: IRM 3.5.20.2 , General Information and Requirements for IVES Requests. IRM 3.5.20.5.1, Preprocessing Review of IVES Requests. IRM 3.5.20.5.1.1, Review for Completeness. IRM 3.5.20.5.2, Authorization to Release Tax Return Information. IRM 3.5.20.5.3, Signature Authority for Tax Return Information. IRM 3.5.20.5.4, Identification and Validation of IVES Requests. IRM 3.5.20.5.5, Identity Theft Research. Reminder: An IVES participant must be authorized to receive the taxpayer’s return information at the time the taxpayer signs Form 4506-C. Sending transcripts to an IVES participant not authorized by the taxpayer on Form 4506-C is a disclosure issue. IVES requests must be rejected for any of the indications of improper authorization below: Line 5a and/or 5d has been altered. The entry on line 5a or 5d appears to overlay an original entry. The entry on line 5a or 5d appears to be a sticker. Exception: Do not reject if a sticker only contains the SOR mailbox or Participant ID number. The SOR and Participant ID number can be added after the taxpayer signs. The sticker cannot overlay any of the original information entered anywhere else on line 5a. On Form 4506-C revision 10-2022: line 5a and/or 5d are blank or missing information. On Form 4506-C revision 10-2022: More than one company or address entered on line 5a or 5d. Accept a complete IVES request if the requester clearly identifies form or tax type, product(s), tax year(s), and taxpayer. The items they are requesting must have already been authorized by the taxpayer. If box 6 has tax forms entered, and box 6a, b, or c is checked, research line 1a, and send requested products for the taxpayer on line 1a. When box 7 is checked, 7b is checked, and wage and income information is requested: If ... Then ... Line 1a box is checked, Research taxpayer 1a. Verify signature of taxpayer 1a is present. Provide the wage and income information for 1a only. Line 2a box is checked, Research taxpayer 2a. Verify signature of taxpayer 2a is present. Provide the wage and income information for 2a only. Both line 1a and 2a boxes are checked, Research taxpayer 1a and 2a. Verify signature of taxpayer 1a and 2a is present. Provide wage and income information for both taxpayer(s). Neither box is checked, Research taxpayer 1a and 2a (if present). Verify signature of taxpayer(s). Provide wage and income information for listed taxpayer(s). Note: Return transcripts, account transcripts, and record of transcripts are only provided to taxpayer 1a. Reminder: The IVES participant cannot identify the form or tax type, product(s), tax year(s), specific taxpayer by underlining, circling, placing a box around the items they are requesting, or providing clarification in the margins on 4506-C. See table below for common scenarios: If... And ... Then ... The request is for copies of Quarterly BMF returns, only the tax year is on the request, process the request using the last period of the tax year (e.g., 12-30-2020. The request is for IMF returns, the tax period requested is a fiscal year filer (any other month than December), process the request using the tax period requested (e.g., 7-30-2020). The request is for IMF returns, only the tax year is on the request, process the request using the last month of that tax year (e.g., 12-30-2020). Reminder: The IVES participant’s client must be listed on line 5d of Form 4506-C. If the IVES participant is also the Client Company, the IVES participant information will be entered on both line 5a and 5d. These fields cannot be blank or Not Applicable (NA). Reject incomplete, invalid, or unauthorized requests. Notate the reason for the rejection in the EFS Discrepancy Listing and send applicable rejection letters (See IRM 3.5.20.5.7, Rejecting IVES Requests). If a request contains both rejected and processable items, then input the processable items in TDS and send appropriate letters for the rejected items. See Exhibit 3.5.20-4, IVES Reject Codes, for appropriate reject code literals. Reminder: The IVES participant is not able to limit the requested products on Form 4506-C. Follow instructions at subsection IRM 3.5.20.6 IVES Transcript Request Information, to enter complete, processable requests into TDS. Use the short request process and submit to the participant’s SOR. The IVES participant ID must be obtained from the IVES fax cover sheet, and the SOR must be obtained from line 5a of the request. Input status of transcript request in EFS comment box. (i.e., process complete). Caution: To avoid potential disclosures and processing errors, do not use the SOR mailbox input or edited on any batch or fax cover sheets. The SOR on line 5a of the request must be input in TDS. Reminder: Deposit the correct transcripts into the correct SOR to avoid an inadvertent disclosure. Research to resolve any errors. If... Then... The error can be corrected, Resubmit the request through TDS. The error cannot be corrected, Note the reason for the rejection in the EFS Discrepancy Listing using codes from the IVES Reject Code Job Aid.≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Mail the applicable rejection letter and form to the taxpayer or authorized third-party. Fax Form 13873-IR to the participant. Input a manual adjustment so that the business will be charged for each transcript product on a Form 4506-C that has been rejected from the participant's batch. See, IVES Manual Adjustments, for more instructions. Reminder: IVES participants are automatically charged for each product successfully delivered to their SOR mailbox via the Request IVES Transcript platform in TDS. Procedures for Manual Adjustments Manual adjustments must be done after each batch is completed. Use TDS to perform the manual adjustment on rejected requests. Make any adjustment necessary if the participant is charged for a duplicate item provided incorrectly. IVES Coordinator or designated employee will fax the adjustment information to the participants weekly, at a minimum. IVES Coordinator or designated employee must resolve participants' disputes no later than 48 hours (2 business days) from the received date and time. If a dispute is received during non-business hours (weekend, holiday, outside IVES operational hours for day, swing, and night shifts), then consider the dispute received at 6:00 AM the following business day. EFS is an inventory management system that will assemble the batch for retention. Ensure it includes the batch cover sheet, all Form 4506-C, Form 13873-IR, and applicable taxpayer forms, i.e., Form 13873-E or Form 14643. There will be two notifications sent by RAIVS/IVES HQ Analysts: Certification Report and IVES Delinquent Report. Follow the steps below for each report. Note: The IVES Manager and/or Coordinator or designee will have to look at each report for those IVES participants where you are unable to process requests. The IVES Certification Master List will be provided weekly by the IVES HQ analyst to the IVES managers, coordinators, and designees via email. Check the Certification List to see if the IVES participant has certified. If the participant is not certified, email the following information to RAIVS/IVES HQ daily: - Name of the Company - Participant number - How many requests - Number of years requested Add participant not certified or similar in the comment section and route the requests to the IVES Coordinator queue. The batch will be held until an HQ analyst says the participant is certified or for 120 days. After 120 days notate in the comment section the participant was not certified within 120 days and close the batch. Notification of delinquent IVES participants will be provided monthly by the IVES HQ analyst to the IVES Managers and Coordinators. Refer all delinquent IVES participants to the HQ IVES analysts. When the participant account has been reactivated, the IVES Manager and/or Coordinator will be notified immediately via email. Upon receipt of the delinquent listings: All IVES locations must immediately cease processing delinquent accounts. For all work currently in process for those delinquent participants, add delinquent participant or similar in the comment section and route to the IVES Coordinator queue. The batch will be held until notified the account has been reactivated or for 120 days. After 120 days notate in the comment section the participant was delinquent for 120 days and close the batch. When using IVES TDS, do not use the "Enter Another Taxpayer" button. When using the IVES TDS Short Request to input BMF requests, there are two options in the Request By box on the Product screen - Master File Tax (MFT) Code and Form Number. With the masking of both IMF and BMF transcripts starting December 13, 2020, IVES participants can assign a Customer File Number (CFN) to their transcript requests. A CFN is used by an IVES participant to associate the transcript to their client’s request. This is an optional field that will be used at the participant’s discretion. The CFN will be found on line 5b of the Form 4506-C with an acceptable revision date. The CFN will consist of no more than a ten-digit numeric identifier. The CFN cannot contain a TIN (SSN, EIN or ITIN) or Alpha Characters. If line 5b on a request contains a valid CFN, then it must be input in the CFN field in TDS. If the CFN contains a TIN, alpha characters, more than 10 numeric characters or is illegible, input "9999999999" as the CFN in TDS. Some IVES participants assign unique identifiers to their transcript requests, often called a "Loan Number," "File Number," etc. These characters are used by the companies internally to track their work. The unique identifier can be alpha-numeric. This identifier cannot be more than ten characters long or contain a TIN. Participants have requested that this information be placed in the file information that they receive in their mailbox. If the unique identifier contains a TIN, more than 10 characters, or is illegible, input "9999999999" (Ten 9’s) as the identifier in TDS. The IVES participants will place this unique identifier on line 5c of the Form 4506-C revision 10-2022. Only one unique identifier will be placed on the request. If more than one is placed on a request, then input the first identifier listed. Provide the IVES Coordinator with details regarding multiple unique identifiers. The IVES Coordinator will contact the participant with details and instructions. For IMF requests, use the "First Name" field of the Taxpayer Information screen to input this identifier into IVES TDS. For BMF requests, enter the Identifier in the "Business Name" field after the Name Control, which is the first four characters of the Business Name. Note: If participants consistently use a TIN as a CFN or unique identifier, please notify the HQ analysts with the participant information and details. Use the decision table below to determine when to input a CFN or unique identifier as described in the paragraphs above: If ... And ... Then ... Request contains a CFN on line 5b, No unique identifier on line 5c, Input the CFN in the CFN field in TDS. Request contains a CFN on line 5b, Participant placed a unique identifier on line 5c, Input the CFN in the CFN field in TDS. Input the unique identifier in the First Name field of the Taxpayer Information screen in TDS. Reminder: If both CFN and unique identifier are listed, both require input. Request does not contain a CFN on line 5b, Participant placed a unique identifier on line 5c, Input the unique identifier in the First Name field of the Taxpayer Information screen in TDS. Participant placed a unique identifier on line 5c, More than one unique identifier is found, Only input the first identifier listed in the appropriate field in TDS. Caution: If the CFN or unique identifier contains a TIN, is in an invalid format or is illegible in any of the scenarios above, then input "9999999999" in the field as instructed in the table. See paragraphs 11 and 12 above. 3.5.20.5.7 (08-27-2024) Rejecting IVES Requests Rejects from batches submitted for IVES processing must be returned to the taxpayer and/or the authorized third-party (the third-party must have a POA or valid authorization) using Letter 0050C.

(04-12-2023) IVES E-Signature Audit All IVES participants using electronic signatures must use an independent party to audit and ensure all electronic signature requests meet all requirements stated throughout the e-signature certification document. This audit along with its findings will be provided annually. IVES participants with findings showing a failure to meet all requirements will not be allowed to continue using electronic signatures. These findings must include participant number and monthly results as well as the total annual computations. The annual audit findings must be submitted by January 31st of the following year unless an extension of time is made and granted prior to the due date. The report can be submitted to the following e-mail address:ts.ives.participant.assistance@irs.gov. Note: One (1) extension may be granted if requested prior to the due date for a duration of 30 days. IVES HQ analyst must verify each audit contains the following: The audit is done by an Independent auditor, i.e., CPA, LLC, LP. The audit findings must compare the audit log information against the Form 4506-C to validate the name(s), date(s), tamper proof seal, authentication, consent, and electronic signatures. See IRM 10.10.1.3.1.5, Preserving the Integrity of the Signed Electronic Record. Methodology used in audit findings must be stated in audit report. List any discrepancies found and timeframe covered by the audit. Correct sample size and skip interval listed for each month. IVES participants must validate that the signer is who they say they are and that the document has made it into the correct hands. The most common form of authentication is “Two Factor,” referring to something the signer has (e.g., emailed successfully into their in-box) and something the signer knows (e.g., a pass code). Other common authentication options include Knowledge based Authentication (KBA) where the signer is presented with multiple choice questions, and Single Sign-On (SSO), where “keys” or credentials are passed along from another website. IVES participant must get consent from signer to receive and sign documents electronically prior to moving forward with the viewing and signing ceremony. This is typically done with a one-page consent form presented to the signer after authentication and prior to gathering signatures. Signer must either accept or reject the consent. Electronic signatures must contain an electronic symbol logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record. The electronic signature is required to validate the name(s) against the name(s) listed on the Form 4506-C. After the electronic signature is collected, the document must be made tamper proof to ensure its validity. All IVES participants will develop their own skip interval each month by dividing their total number of requests by the sample size of 125. Each month the participant will select the first electronically signed request and apply the skip interval from there. The participant can stop the selection process once 125 requests have been selected. All participants will select a sample size of 125 requests, regardless of fluctuations in their monthly volume. Exception: The only exception is for months where fewer than 125 requests were processed. Participants must select and review all requests in the month for months where fewer than 125 requests were processed. An audit log of the entire electronic signing ceremony must accompany the document for future use as needed for non-repudiation. Data in the log must include date and time of creation, IP address of the signer, document lifecycle notifications, result of authentication, result of consent, and result of each electronic signature in the document. Upon request the audit logs and the Form 4506-C will be made available throughout the year to IVES HQ analysts. After evaluating the results of each IVES participant’s submission, the IVES HQ analyst will issue one of three possible outcome letters to each participant currently certified to submit electronic signatures. If an analyst reviews a completed response and makes the determination that a “Warning” or “Removal” letter is warranted, the analyst will communicate the findings to management for additional review before a final determination is made. Pass letter. If a participant has delivered a complete response and the analyst found no infractions, then a “Pass” letter will be mailed. Warning letter. Minor Infractions will be noted on a “Warning” letter, but the participant will continue to remain active in the e-signature program. If the response to the infractions is not sufficient, the participant will be sent a removal letter and removed from the program. Removal letter. If major infractions are discovered or the participant has used the e-signature program and failed to respond to the first letter, they will receive a “Removal” letter. After 30 days from the date the removal letter was issued, the participant will be removed from the e-signature program. The participant will not be eligible to be reinstated until one year from the date of removal. To be reinstated, the Participant will need to address all infractions noted on the “Removal” letter. Note: An Annual Review letter will be issued to the participant if they did not use the e-signature program. Validate in EFS that no transcript requests have e-signatures for the audit year before sending the Annual Review Notice If the participant subsequently delivers a complete response after receiving a “Removal” letter and no issues are present, then the participant will be reinstated, and a “Warning” letter will be issued. If a participant provides a response that we deem insufficient upon review according to IVES qualifications (4), they will receive a "Removal" letter and will be removed from the e-signature program. Once a participant has been removed from the e-signature program, they are no longer qualified to use e-signatures on IVES transcript request. After 30 days from the date the removal letter was issued, update the participants account information in EFS, and ensure the “Qualified” box is not selected. Participants issued a removal letter will be required to re-submit a new certification D. HQ analyst will place the new certification D in the certification folder and update the certification master list stored on the TSS SharePoint. After the E-signature audit review is conducted and results for the entire sample have been finalized, the IVES management and staff will conduct a lesson learned session. Future compliance review questions and procedures may be revised to reflect any feedback and/or concerns through the lessons learned session. This will be an important step in improving the quality and overall review process moving forward. 3.5.20.7.5 (01-01-2023) IVES Compliance Review ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡
