Form 4564 - Information Document Request (IDR)This Information Document Request, Form 4564, containing pro-forma language for soliciting the taxpayer’s acknowledgment of the facts on unagreed issues, will not be followed by a summons. The pro-forma language follows:The purpose of this Acknowledgment of Facts (AOF) Information Document Request (IDR) is to ensure that all relevant facts necessary to arrive at an accurate tax determination have been identified and considered before the Form 5701, Notice of Proposed Adjustment, is issued. Responding to this IDR presents the taxpayer an opportunity to provide additional relevant facts and may lead to the resolution of the issue at the examination level. Another potential benefit of a thorough response to this IDR is preventing a delay in your case should it be returned from Appeals. The presentation of new facts in Appeals generally will require that the case be returned to Examination. Therefore, it is beneficial to ensure that all relevant facts are provided to the LB&I issue team before the Form 5701 is issued. Taxpayers are not prevented from providing additional facts in their written protest or in Appeals, but the expectation is that all relevant facts will be presented during the audit so that LB&I can make an accurate tax determination. While the interpretation of the law or the amount of the proposed adjustment may be unagreed, all relevant facts should be included in the attached draft Form 886-A.Requested ItemsYour response to the facts does not indicate agreement to the issue or any proposed tax adjustmentPlease review the attached draft Form 886-A and respond accordingly in writing to the LB&I issue team by the response date.
