Taxpayer Advocate Service
  1. The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate. Its job is to protect taxpayers’ rights by striving to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR). TAS offers free help to taxpayers, including when taxpayers face financial difficulties due to an IRS problem, when they are unable to resolve tax problems they haven’t been able to resolve on their own, or when they need assistance to address an IRS system, process, or procedure that is not functioning as it should. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

  2. TAS uses Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR), to start the OAR process of referring a case to the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, to affect the resolution of the taxpayer’s problem. For more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, TAS Operations Assistance Request (OAR) Process.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    • IRS takes steps within 24 hours to resolve the taxpayer’s issue.

  5. When making a TAS referral, use Form 911 and forward to TAS following your local procedures.

  6. See IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria, for more information.

Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) SLA
  1. The Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners or Chiefs of the Tax Exempt Government Entities (TE/GE), Taxpayer Services (TS), Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE) Division, Criminal Investigation (CI), Independent Office of Appeals, and Large Business and International (LB&I) that outline the procedures and responsibilities for processing 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). SLAs contain basic requirements for handling TAS-referred cases, and includes specific actions to take on TAS referrals and specific time frames to complete those actions.

  2. The SLAs are found at https://irsgov.sharepoint.com/sites/TAS/SitePages/SLA.aspx

Background

  1. Error Resolution Systems (ERS) examiners use the instructions in this subsection to correct errors made by:

    1. Taxpayers

    2. Their representatives

    3. Tax Exempt Bond (TEB) Submission Processing Center operations, which is centralized at the Ogden Campus.

  2. Follow these procedures for correcting tax exempt bond form errors on screen display. If there’s a conflict of instructions between general and specific instructions, follow specific procedures.

  3. These forms are filed and processed only at the Ogden Submission Processing Campus (OSPC).

  4. Records appear on ERS inventory because of validity, consistency, and math, and/or input error. There are no math error checks in this IRM.

  5. To expedite resolution, you can call the filer to resolve problems with ERS inventory.

General Requirements

  1. To use this IRM, you must also be familiar with:

    1. IRM 3.11.26 , Miscellaneous Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) Returns, which provides document perfection (Code and Edit) procedures.

    2. IRM 3.24.26, Miscellaneous Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) Returns, for DIS input of the ISRP system, and

    3. IRM 3.12.38, ERS General Instructions.

  2. Records are placed into Error Resolution or Rejects inventories for correction.

  3. Once a record is accessed and displayed on the screen, resolve it any of these ways:

    1. Fully correct the record.

    2. Place the record in suspense until additional information is received.

    3. Reject the record from pipeline processing.

  4. Corrections include correcting errors in editing, transcription or taxpayer errors. Perform any instruction for completing a correspondence action sheet and annotating the missing item(s) by checking the box next to the reason if present on the action sheet, or by writing out the reason in an open paragraph if the IRM states to use the open paragraph.

  5. In the header portion of each record, the error screen displays will show:

    1. Document Locator Number (DLN),

    2. Employer Identification number (EIN),

    3. Name Control or Check Digit

  6. Before you make corrections to the error screen displays, verify that the DLN of the display matches the DLN of the document.

  7. If you determine that a "mixed data" situation exists, stop processing and give the block of work to your manager. Management will either:

    1. Determine if the mixed data can be corrected via the terminal screen display.

    2. Take action to have the block deleted and re-entered.

  8. When making corrections to the screen display, be sure money amounts within a subsection have been transcribed in dollars only, or in dollar and cents according to the requirements shown in the instructions for each subsection.

  9. You may use these procedures when the TE/GE Submission Processing Program & Oversight staff analyst with oversight approves them:

    1. Any instructions written at the campus (i.e., desk procedures) to clarify the IRM 3.12.26, Tax Exempt Bond Error Resolution Procedures.

    2. Paragraphs created at the campus when the IRM doesn't request an open paragraph be used.

Purpose of Form
  1. Form 8038, Information Return for Tax Exempt Private Activity Bond Issues, is used by the issuers of tax exempt qualified private activity bonds to provide the IRS with the information required by Section 149(e) and to monitor the requirements of Section 141 through 150.

  2. Form 8038-B,Information Return for Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, is used to report Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds to provide the IRS with information required by Section 149(e).

    Note:

    Effective December 31, 2010, this form is no longer used as Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds.

  3. Form 8038-CP, Return for Credit Payments to Issuers of Qualified Bonds, is used by issuers of bonds who elect to receive a direct payment pursuant to IRC 6431.

  4. Form 8038-G,Information Return for Tax Exempt Government Purpose Tax-Exempt Bond Issues, is used by issuers of tax exempt governmental bonds of $100,000 or more, to provide the IRS with information required by Section 149(e).

  5. Form 8038-GC, Information Return for Small Tax Exempt Governmental Bond Issues, Leases, and Installment Sales, is used by issuers of tax exempt governmental bonds of less than $100,000, to provide the IRS with information required by Section 149(e).

  6. Form 8038-T, Arbitrage Rebate, Yield Reduction and Penalty in Lieu of Arbitrage Rebate, is used by issuers of tax exempt bonds when paying arbitrage rebate (or penalty in lieu of rebate) to the United States as required under Section 148(f), or the corresponding provisions of the 1954 Code; or to make a yield reduction payment in accordance with Section 1.148-5(c) of the Regulations. Payments may be made by a person acting on behalf of the Issuer for bonds subject to Section 103(c)(6)(D) of the 1954 Code. Under Section 148(f), interest on a state or local bond isn't Tax Exempt unless the Issuer of the bond rebates to the United States on Form 8038-T, arbitrage profits earned from investing proceeds of the bond in higher yield nonpurpose investments.

  7. Form 8038-TC, Information Return for Tax Credit and Specified Tax Credit Bonds as the result of the new Hire bill, is used by the issuers of qualified private activity bonds to provide the IRS with the information required by Section 149(e).

  8. Form 8328, Carryforward Election of Unused Private Activity Bond Volume Cap, is used by the issuing authority of private activity bonds to elect to carry forward its unused volume cap for one or more carry forward purposes (see Section 146(f)). Form 8328 may also be used by a state to carryforward the unused volume cap under Section 142(k).

  9. Form 8703, Annual Certification of a Residential Rental Project, is used by an operator of a residential rental project to provide annual information the IRS will use to determine whether a project continues to be a qualified residential rental project under Section 142(d). If so, and certain other requirements are met, bonds issued in connection with the project are considered "exempt facility bonds" and the interest paid on them isn't taxable to the recipient.

Description of Bonds
  1. Municipal Bonds can be classified as tax exempt (government or qualified private activity bonds) or taxable (other private activity bonds).

  2. Municipal bonds may be issued as governmental bonds or non-governmental bonds. Some non-governmental bonds are also called "qualified private activity bonds" . The following identifies a few bond categories:

    1. Governmental Bonds are issued to finance governmental activities of a state or local government. That is, the government entity uses the bond proceeds for its own purposes. Certain lease arrangements may be treated as tax exempt bonds when the lease transaction is treated as a conditional sales contract.

      Example:

      Funds used to build and maintain highways, schools, government buildings (e.g., courthouses), or sewer and water facilities.

    2. Qualified Private Activity Bonds are issued by state and local governments. The facilities financed with the bond proceeds can be owned and operated by non-governmental entities for limited purposes specified in IRC 142(a), 143, 144, and 145.

      Code Section Examples
      IRC 142 exempt facility bonds
      • Airports

      • Docks and wharves

      • Mass commuting facilities

      • Facilities for the furnishings of water

      • Sewage facilities

      • Solid waste disposal facilities

      • Qualified residential rental projects

      • Facilities for the local furnishing of electric energy or gas

      • Local heating or cooling facilities

      • Qualified hazardous waste facilities

      • High-speed intercity rail facilities

      • Environmental enhancements of hydroelectric generating facilities (142(a))

      • Qualified public educational facilities

      • Qualified green building and sustainable design projects

      • Qualified highway or surface freight transfer facilities.

      IRC 143 bonds
      • Qualified Mortgage Bonds

      • Qualified Veteran's Mortgage Bonds

      IRC 144 bonds
      • Qualified Small Issue Bonds

      • Qualified Student Loan Bonds

      • Qualified Redevelopment Bonds

      IRC 145 bonds Qualified IRC 501(c)(3) bonds

      Example:

      A county needs a nursing home in its community. It loans bond proceeds to a Section 501(c)(3) corporation who will construct and operate the facility.

    3. Pooled financing may involve proceeds of governmental bonds or certain types of private activity bonds. In a pooled financing, the issuer loans proceeds from the bonds to more than one borrower. The borrower of the proceeds may be tax exempt organizations or other state or local governments.

      Example:

      A school district issues a bond for multiple schools within its district. One school uses the proceeds to buy computer equipment. Another school uses the proceeds to construct administrative offices.

    4. Registered Warrants are a short-term obligation (30 - 60 day bond) of a municipality.

    5. Commercial Paper Bonds are a short term bond having a maturity date of 270 days or less. These bonds are issued pursuant to a commercial paper program that is treated as part of a single issue.

    6. Commercial Paper Program is a program to issue commercial paper to finance or refinance the same governmental purpose pursuant to a master legal document.

    7. The Liberty Bond is due to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. The IRS provided guidance (Notice 2002-42 2002–27 IRB 36) on the effects of various tax benefits that were enacted for areas of New York City. IRC 1400L(a) provides for a new targeted group for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC): New York Liberty Zone business employees. The new targeted group includes individuals who perform substantially all of their services in the New York Liberty Zone (NYLZ), and may include individuals who perform substantially all of their services elsewhere in New York City for a business that relocated from the NYLZ due to the physical destruction or damage of its workplace within the NYLZ by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack.

    8. Lease Installment Sales are unconditional sales agreements under which a municipal government leases equipment that it acquires at the end of the lease period.

    9. Promissory Notes are interest-bearing certificates of governments that come due in a shorter time than bonds. Municipal notes have maturities up to approximately one year.

    10. Lines of Credit are pre-approved loans where the municipality draws down money as it's needed. The loans have specified dollar limits, terms and interest rates.

      Note:

      This is similar to a home equity loan of a homeowner.

    11. Green bonds are issued to finance projects designated by the Secretary after consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator. Green building and sustainable design projects must meet certain eligibility requirements.

    12. The Gulf Opportunity Zone Bond is due to the Hurricane Katrina disaster area determined by the President to warrant individual or individual and public assistance from the federal government. The IRS provided guidance (Notice 2006-41 2006–18 IRB 857), which authorizes the states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi to issue certain exempt facility bonds and qualified mortgage bonds pursuant to IRC 1400N(a). Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds must be issued before January 1, 2011. Notice 2006-41 also provides guidance on Gulf Opportunity Zone Advance Refunding Bonds that are permitted to be issued under IRC 1400N(b).

  3. Bonds are an "obligation" of any state or political subdivision thereof. Obligation means any valid evidence of indebtedness under general federal tax principles. Obligations are not limited to bonds or other securities but may also include written contracts such as installment sales contracts and loans to a municipality.

  4. To be an obligation, money must be borrowed by a governmental entity, used for governmental or qualified purposes, and there must be an obligation to repay.

  5. Income from certain obligations of states and their political subdivisions may likewise be excluded from gross income. Such obligations include:

    1. Installment sales contracts

    2. Equipment leases

    3. Bank loans

Types of Errors

  1. ERS identifies the error according to type and priority. The record heading will show the type of error.

  2. This IRM gives procedures to use in resolving the displayed errors. However, there may be records where you find that programming hasn’t given a section or field needed to resolve an error. Report this to the Headquarter analyst for correction.

  3. Enter the section using CC "GTSEC" , and the missing data.

    1. Priority I (Action Code (AC) Errors): When an AC is assigned to a return, it displays as a Priority I error.

    2. Priority II (Section Errors): An error detected by the Service Center Recognition/ Image Process System (SCRIPS) or Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP) displays as a Section Error.

    3. An alpha transcribed in a numeric field or vice versa and a section with variable-length fields containing an erroneous-size field displays as a terminus section error.

    4. Priority III (Field Validity Errors): Any field failing to meet the requirements that displays as a Priority III error.

    5. Priority IV (Error Code -(Math and Consistency Errors) - When a record is assigned an error code because of a math error.

Action Code Error - Priority I

  1. All records assigned an incorrect action code are displayed as a Priority I error. Errors and correction procedures are explained in this subsection:

    1. If the AC is valid (except 001), it’ll be placed in the reject inventory.

    2. If the AC is invalid or is 001, it’ll be placed in the error inventory.

Section Errors - Priority II

  1. There are two types of Priority II Errors: "ISRP" and "TERMINUS" Errors. Error and correction procedures are explained in this subsection.

ISRP (Integrated Submission & Remittance Processing) Errors
  1. An" ISRP" error is detected by the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing.

  2. The display for the ISRP error includes the code identifying the type of ISRP error.

    1. "1" - Split screen transmission, Key Verifier attempted to change Check Digit, Key Verifier changed 4 or more digits of a TIN, or the Original Entry operator entered required section as missing.

    2. "3" - Invalid section ending point.

    3. "4" - Invalid field length.

    4. "Questionable Section" - The ISRP operator input the same section more than once or entered out of sequence by ISRP. The computer program will drop all duplicate sections and display on the error register the first one encountered.

  3. When displayed, ISRP errors will display all input fields of the section in error, except for the Remittance in Section 01. Transcribed data will be present. Computer-generated data will not be present.

ISRP Error Correction Procedures
  1. Check all fields of the section and verify that fields are entered as coded.

    1. If no correction is needed, or once the section is correct, drop to the bottom of the screen and transmit.

    2. If the section needs to be deleted, enter Command Code "DLSEC" with the section number.

Terminus Error
  1. A "terminus" error occurs when a section with variable-length input fields contains an erroneous-sized field.

  2. When displayed, a terminus error will show all input fields of the terminus section.

    1. Transcribed data is present.

    2. Computer generated fields or remittance field for Section 01 won’t be present.

Terminus Error Correction Procedures
  1. Examine and make necessary corrections to all fields present for the section.

  2. If the section needs to be deleted, use command code DLSEC to delete the section.

  3. If no correction is required, drop to the bottom of the screen and transmit.

Field Errors Priority III

  1. Definition: Any field that doesn’t meet the requirements for that field will be shown as a "Priority III" Error. Some reasons for this type of error include:

    1. Non-alphabetical character in an alpha field

    2. Blank space in a numeric field.

    3. Blank in the first position of an alpha field.

    4. Non-numeric character in a numeric field.

    5. A required field is blank.

Priority III Error Display Order
  1. All fields with a Priority III error will be displayed in the order encountered in the record.

  2. This chapter lists the fields, errors and correction procedures for Priority III errors for the following forms.

    • Form 8038

    • Form 8038-B

    • Form 8038-CP

    • Form 8038-G

    • Form 8038-GC

    • Form 8038-T

    • Form 8038-TC

    • Form 8328

    • Form 8703

  3. Unless otherwise stated, the fields are valid for the above forms.

Action Code 001

  1. Action Code 001 is computer generated when the BOB Resolution Function adds a missing document by inputting only the TIN and Name Control for the missing document:

    • All data must be entered.

    • GTSEC ALL sections and

    • Enter ALL necessary data.

Clear Fields "C" and "000"

  1. The letter "C" is used as a "clear field" for error codes (consistency errors) when the invalid condition doesn't require a change or correction to the record as displayed. The display will include a clear field, labeled "CL" to indicate the possible need of a clear field.

  2. Error codes that need a clear field are cleared by either correcting the condition or entering a "C" to indicate no correction is needed.

  3. Clear field "C" is also used for clearing the action codes after corrections for the AC have been completed.

  4. ""000" " is also used as a clear field when deleting an action code. It will only be used for erroneous action codes when you have determined there is no reason to suspend the record ("000" can’t be used in Reject correction).

  5. Programming erases all "C" clear fields for error codes when a record is suspended with the command code "SSPND" .

  6. Programming erases all "C" clear fields for error codes and action codes for the new day's error and workable suspense inventories.

    Note:

    Unfinished records from the previous day won’t contain the "C" clear fields that were assigned to a record that wasn’t completely worked.

  7. Error codes (including the ones which may require a "C" clear field) are numbered consecutively in order for correcting.

Reject Correction

  1. Perfect, if possible, through research or taxpayer contact, any document on which entries are erroneous, incomplete or missing, and continue processing.

  2. If a correspondence letter is returned as undeliverable, compare the address on the letter with the address on the return.

    1. If different, re-send the letter to the address on the return.

    2. If the same, research INOLES for a different address.

  3. If the address on INOLES is different or there is a location address, re-send the letter to the new address.

  4. If the address on INOLES is the same as the return, and no better address can be found, treat as a no reply.

  5. If the letter is undeliverable a second time using the new address, treat as a no reply.

  6. If the taxpayer doesn't reply to a request for information, enter CCC "3" .

  7. If perfection isn't possible, initiate action to void the DLN and the return "Canceled to Files" . If a remittance is involved, transfer to the "6400, Miscellaneous Revenue Collections" account.

Re-entry Document

  1. A return that’s discovered to be unprocessable on initial input after being blocked or numbered and is subsequently believed to be processable is a re-entry document. The following describes the reasons for re-entry:

    1. Document that was discovered to be unprocessable after it was blocked and numbered will be considered to be a re-entry document when It's input after the correction.

    2. Document was unpostable on initial input, and the unpostable situation can only be corrected by re-input of document.

    3. Document posted to wrong account or module, and the document must be re-entered to post to the proper account or module.

Control of Re-entry Document
  1. Each block of re-entry documents must have a Form 3893, Re-entry Document Control. If Form 3893 is missing information, return the document or block to the Receipt and Control area. Always leave the Form 3893 on the front of the return or block. It must remain as a permanent part of the document.

  2. Form 3893 is used for re-input control of a document under its original DLN.

    1. If a single document is being re-input, Form 3893 will be attached to the face of the document.

    2. If more than one document from the same original block is being re-input, Form 3893 will be attached to the first document in the re-input block.

Form 8038-CP Sequestration Manual Refund Procedures

  1. Pursuant to the requirements of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, certain automatic reductions took place on March 1, 2013. These required reductions include a reduction to refundable credits under Internal Revenue Code Section 6431 applicable to certain qualified bonds. As a result, the refundable credit payment for FY 2023 is reduced by 5.7%. The sequestration reduction rate will be applied until the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2030) or intervening Congressional action, at which time the sequestration rate is subject to change.

    Note:

    For FY 2024, the sequestration rate remains at 5.7%. No sequestration hold is required.

  2. During annual implementation of the revised sequestration percentage rate, it will be necessary to hold all Form 8038-CP until the new rate is programmed. This normally occurs in September and October. SERP Alerts will be issued providing specific dates when the time approaches. Code and Edit will follow normal procedures in editing the returns. Upon completion, the C&E clerk will record all pertinent information onto an Excel spreadsheet and provide it to the SP P&A analyst who has oversight of Rejects. The P&A analyst will monitor the returns to ensure credit payments are refunded prior to the Interest Payment Date (IPD).

  3. When a manual refund is required during the hold in order to meet an IPD or prevent payment credit interest, the applicable sequestration percentage rate must be determined. The applicable rate is based on the date the manual refund (Form 3753 or Form 5792) is signed.

    Caution:

    The date the new percentage rate is effective varies annually based on the last day of the cycle the programming is completed (i.e., last day of cycle 202040 is 10/01/2020). As such, manual refunds dated prior to 10/01/2020 would be calculated at the FY 2020 sequestration rate of 5.9%. Manual refunds dated 10/02/2020 & subsequent would be computed at the FY 2021 revised 5.7% rate. For FY 2023, the sequestration rate did not change.

    Note:

    Due to the Campus shutdown resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, all Form 8038-CP with a RRD prior to October 1, 2020, must have the sequestration rate computed at 5.9% regardless of when the manual refund is signed. If the credit payment amount is under ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ and RRD is prior to October 1, 2020, allow refund to systemically generate.

  4. If it is determined that a manual refund is required, the originator must research IDRS to make certain a computer-generated refund will not be issued. In addition to the procedures outlined below, which are unique to Form 8038-CP, general manual refund information must be followed and can be found in IRM 3.12.38.5.4 and IRM 21.4.4.

  5. If a manual refund is required due to:

    • the annual sequestration rate revision hold in order to meet a pending IPD,

    • the 45-day jeopardy period, or

    • the credit payment is over ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ dollars,

    then the credit payment must be manually computed to determine the correct reduced refundable amount. Offsets must be taken into consideration.

  6. An excel spreadsheet with the sequestration computation formula is provided annually from the TE/GE HQ Program analyst to the Campus in order to determine the correct credit payment amount. This computation spreadsheet must be used when manually computing the sequestration amount. A copy of the sequestration excel computation, the ACT/DMI interest computation (if applicable) and the manual refund documents (Form 3753/Form 5792) must be attached to the Form 8038-CP.

  7. The refundable credit amount is computed manually by:

    1. Subtracting tax, penalties and interest from the original credit payment amount on line 22, if applicable. This is the recomputed line 22.

    2. Reduce the original or recomputed line 22 (step a) above) by the applicable rate. Subtract the sequestered amount (line 22 multiplied by rate) from the original or recomputed credit payment.

    3. Subtract all offsets or credit elects (if applicable) from the original or recomputed line 22 amount.

    4. The results will be the correct credit amount to be refunded.

  8. Prepare manual refund using applicable Form 5792 or Form 3753 (refer to IRM 3.12.38).

    1. In the remarks section of the Form 5792, indicate "Credit payment amount is reduced by applicable sequestration rate" .

    2. If the manual refund is due to the sequestration hold, edit CCC "O" on the return to prevent a duplicate erroneous refund from generating when the return is processed. Attach a copy of the sequestration computation and manual refund documentation (Form 3753 or Form 5792) to the return.

    3. If credit interest is applicable, it must be calculated on the reduced credit payment amount and not on the original amount claimed by the filer.

    4. Copies of both the sequestration rate Excel computation spreadsheet and Form 8038-CP with "Copy Do Not Process" annotated on the return must be attached to the manual refund documentation.

  9. Additional research may be required to ensure a prior refund wasn’t issued for the same tax period and report number as shown on the Form 8038-CP. If it appears a return and refund has previously posted to the tax period and report number, contact FAST via e-mail to determine if a different report number should be assigned. Also alert the P&A ERS/Rejects analyst so feedback can be provided to the HQ analyst and FAST management. Prepare manual refund on sequestered amount.

  10. During the normal processing and sequestration hold periods, manual refunds over ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ must not be refunded unless it is within three weeks of the Interest Payment Date (IPD).

Form 8038-CP Statute of Limitation Procedures

  1. The Form 8038-CP is the only TEB return that has a statute of limitation (SOL). If a return meets statute criteria, the Field Assistance Support Team (FAST) will edit "SOL" or annotate "Statute of Limitations" in green, in the top margin of the Form 8038-CP during their initial review of the return. Additionally, FAST must edit CCC "X" on all statute returns.

  2. If FAST and/or Code and Edit fails to identify a statute return and you determine the Form 8038-CP meets statute criteria, edit CCC "X" on the return to hold the credit and follow normal statute guidelines.

  3. Before you route the return to Statutes for review and clearance, send a scanned copy of the edited return to FAST via secured e-mail as outlined below.

    1. The ERS/Reject lead (or back-up) sends a secure e-mail to FAST.

    2. Attach a scanned copy of the Form 8038-CP to the secure e-mail indicating it’s an "SOL" return.

    3. Copy (cc) these individuals on the e-mail:
      - FAST manager
      - ERS/Rejects OSPC P&A analyst
      - TE/GE HQ analyst with oversight of the TEB program

  4. A statute of limitation exists when the Interest Payment Date is three years before the IRS stamped received date or postmark date.

    Example:

    The IPD is 01/01/2018 and the IRS received date is 05/16/2022. Since the IPD is three years prior to the IRS received date, the refund statute has expired.

  5. If a return meets the above conditions and doesn’t have a "Statute Cleared" indication, complete and attach a Form 3210 and give to lead who will route it to Statutes for clearance.

  6. Edit CCC "W" if the return has been cleared by Statute Control Unit. Statute will stamp or indicate clearance on the front of the return.

  7. Do not correspond for missing/incomplete information on a statute return.

  8. Effective January 01, 2022, STEX transcripts will generate to the Statute unit for resolution.

  5. In an effort to expedite processing of Form 8038-CP credit payments due to the COVID-19 Campus shutdown, temporary guidelines were implemented to by-pass the normal manual refund requirements and allow credit payments under ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ to refund systemically. If a Form 8038-CP return is within or passed the 45-day interest jeopardy period, AND the credit payment (refund amount) is less than ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, and the return can be worked in ERS (resulting in faster posting and systemic refunding of the credit payment), then work the document through ERS and do not use AC 341 to issue a manual refund. Once the backlog of Form 8038-CP manual refunds has been eliminated, standard procedures will be reinstated.

Entity Perfection - Tax Exempt Bonds, Mortgage Credit Certificates Notification (Correspondence), Notice of Defeasance and Student Loan Bonds

  1. The entity area of Tax Exempt Bond and Mortgage Credit Certificates identifies the issuers on the Business Master File (BMF).

    1. Issuer's name and address

    2. Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN)

      Note:

      There are no package mail outs for tax exempt bond forms. No pre-printed labels exist for Forms 8038, 8038-B, 8038-CP, 8038-G, 8038-GC, 8038-T, 8038-TC, 8328 or 8703.

Editing Tax Exempt Bond Forms

  1. Perfect the Entity for Processing (e.g., EIN, name control and/or address).

  2. Make all edit markings and Entity Control action trails in orange pen or pencil.

  3. Make correction to the name and EIN directly on the form. Circle out any incorrect information. In addition, stamp and annotate actions taken in the left margin of the return.

  4. Always utilize CC INOLE on an EIN before taking any action.

    Exception:

    Form 8038-CP refer to Function 300.

Issuer's Name

  1. Perfect the Issuer's Name Control on the returns. Effective January 01, 2022, the name control for Form 8038-CP, will be in Part II, line 7. If same is annotated in Part II, line 7, refer to Part I, line 1 name control.

  2. The name control consists of four alpha and/or numeric characters, which are generally derived from the first name line. Underline these characters and continue processing.

    1. If the issuer's name is different on IDRS, edit the correct name control on the return. It isn’t necessary to correct the entire name line.

    2. If a return is received with two or more name lines present, always edit the correct name control on the first name line.

  3. IMPORTANT: NO CHANGES of any kind will be made to entity area data on the Master File.

    1. DO NOT input any name and/or address area information from any TEB or MCC forms.

    2. This applies to all Forms 8038, 8038-B, 8038-CP, 8038-G, 8038-GC, 8038-T, 8038-TC, 8328 and 8703.

Issuer's Address

  1. Perfection of the address isn't necessary unless the mailing address (street or P.O. Box) can't be identified or when a Form 8822 is received.

  2. Normally, addresses won’t be updated (TC 016) from bond forms.

  3. If there is a P.O. Box and a street address, use the street address.

  4. Compare name control, EIN, address, city, state and zip code information on IDRS.

    1. Make the necessary corrections and continue processing.

    2. If the information is the same, take no action and continue processing.

  5. Issuer's ZIP code could be 5, 9, or 12 digits.

    1. If the ZIP code is missing, check the attachments and perfect in the appropriate area.

    2. If not found on the attachments, research CC INOLE on IDRS or search Doc. 7475, ZIP Code Directory.

  6. Returns with addresses in the following American possessions can be input.

    • American Samoa (AS)

    • Mariana Islands (MP)

    • Puerto Rico (PR)

    • Virgin Islands (VI)

    • Guam (GU)

Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN)

  1. The EIN consists of nine digits and must be legible.

  2. If the EIN is illegible and can be determined from attachments, circle out the incorrect entry and edit the correct EIN below or to the left of the circled entry.

  3. If the EIN is illegible and can not be determined from the attachments:

    1. Research CC NAMEE and/or NAMEB using the route method if not within Ogden Campus jurisdiction, to ensure the organization doesn't already have an EIN.

    2. If it appears the organization may have an EIN, verify the EIN using CC ENMOD.

    3. If an EIN is found other than the EIN indicated on the form, notify the issuer of the correct EIN. Send CRX letter 147C or 3910C.

    4. If an EIN isn't found, contact the Issuer's representative by telephone for verification, (e.g., bond lawyer, attorney, representative, or person who signed the form). If no response, assign an EIN via CC ESIGN using the attachments on the returns. Suppress the notice and send CRX letter 147C or 3910C informing the issuer of the new EIN.

    Caution:

    Assign a new EIN only as a last resort.

  4. When an EIN has dropped to the retention register or a record isn't found while researching, reestablish the EIN on the MF by inputting TC 000 using CC ENREQ or BNCHG.

    Note:

    When assigning an EIN, avoid abbreviating any of the words in the name line.

  5. When establishing a new account with TC 000, do not use a SSN.

  6. If an EIN is input with a TC 000 using CC ESIGN or BNCHG, the system will analyze the EIN input. If the EIN is greater than the ERAS EIN assignment range, a message will be placed on the screen with an asterisk next to the EIN.

  7. If the issuer indicates "pending" or "applied for" on the tax exempt bond in the EIN area, research for an EIN using CC NAMEE and/or NAMEB. Use route method if not within service center jurisdiction. If no EIN is found, assign an EIN following the procedures on page.

  8. If the EIN isn't within assignment range, research for another EIN for the issuer. If another EIN isn't located, assign an EIN following the procedures in (3) above.

Multiple EINs

  1. It is perfectly legal for two entities to join together and issue one bond. In this instance, you may see two names in the Issuer's name line, and two EINs on the form.

    Note:

    A CP 209 generates to notify the issuer of the correct EIN, if the full consolidation is successful.

  2. If multiple EINs are present, research to determine:

    If Then
    the issuers are two separate entities,
    • underline the first EIN and corresponding name control.

    • circle out the second EIN and corresponding name shown on the return.

    the issuer has erroneously been assigned two EINs,
    • perform complete research. Use CC BMFOL for the EINs involved. Use CC INOLE for newly assigned EINs.

    • consolidate the two EINs by using CC ENREQ/BRCHG.

    • when determining which EIN to retain (TO number):
      1) Retain the EIN preferred by the Issue.
      2) If no preference is indicated, retain the lower EIN.
      3) If one EIN is active and one isn't, retain the active EIN.

Correspondence

  1. Correspondence received will be processed per the following instructions.

  2. If the correspondence reveals that the Issuer should file a return, perform all necessary research to determine if an EIN was previously assigned.

  3. If blank forms with attachments are received, research to determine an EIN.

    If Then
    an EIN is found,
    1. Edit the EIN and Name Control on the blank returns and attach a print of INOLE.

    2. Route to Code and Edit for processing.

    an EIN isn't found,
    1. Contact the Issuer's representative by telephone. If no response, assign an EIN following procedure in IRM 3.11.26.7.4, Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN).

    2. Route to Code and Edit for processing.

  4. If only correspondence is received, research to find an EIN.

    1. If found, edit the EIN on the correspondence and attach a print of INOLE. Then route to Code and Edit for processing.

    2. If no EIN is found, contact the Issuer's representative by telephone. If unable to contact, treat the case as a no response. See IRM 3.11.26.7.4, "Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN)" .

  5. If the issuer is asking for a copy of their return, edit the EIN if necessary and route the request to the EO Photocopy Unit.

  6. If EIN isn't provided, follow steps above.

  7. If correspondence reveals a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC), Notice of Defeasance, or Student Loan Bond was previously submitted using the wrong EIN, research IDRS using the incorrect EIN on CC ENMOD to verify a fact of filing was previously posted. If a TC 971, AC 344, 345, or 314 is present, a reversal will need to be input.

  8. To reverse an incorrect fact of filing posting, the following will need to be input on CC ENMOD:

    • MCC, TC 972 AC 344

    • Notice of Defeasance, TC 972 AC 345

    • Student Loan Bond, TC 972 AC 314

  9. The following format may be referred to when completing the reversal:

    • Access CC ENMOD

    • Access CC REQ77 with the EIN on the first line, MFT 00 and tax period 000000 on the second line, and name control and entry code on the third line

    • Input TC>972 (on the FRM77 screen)

    • Input TRANS-DT>MMDDYYYY

      Note:

      TRANS-DT is the return received date or the return processable date, whichever is later.

    • Input TC 971/151-CD>34X or 314

    • Input Remarks: Reverse MCC, Notice of Defeasance, or Student Loan Bond posting

      Example:

      REQ77 XX-XXXXXXX
      00 000000
      ABCD

  10. Input the following to the FRM77 screen:

    • TC> 972

    • TRANS-DT> MMDDYYYY

    • TC971/151-CD> 34X or 314

    • Remarks: Reverse MCC, Notice of Defeasance, or Student Loan Bond posting

Unpostables

  1. Unpostables will be received or reassigned from the Unpostable function when research has not located another EIN for the name shown on the unpostable document.

  2. Perform research on IDRS using CC NAMEB, NAMEE, and INOLE.

  3. If unable to locate the EIN, contact the issuer's representative by telephone. If unable to contact, assign an EIN.

  4. If the entity information of the document doesn't match MF records for the EIN, contact the issuer's representative by telephone. If unable to contact, assign an EIN.

  5. If you locate the EIN on NAMEB or NAMEE, use BNCHG with TC 000 to establish the account on the MF. Send CRX Letter 147C or Letter 3910C to the issuer.

  6. If a better EIN is found using CC INOLE, "6" code the unpostable.

  7. If CC NAMEB shows the account as "P" or CC ENMOD shows a dummy account, resulting from a reject or unpostable action; use BNCHG with TC 000 to establish the account on Master File.

  8. For additional information refer to IRM 3.12.278, Exempt Organization Unpostable Resolution.

  9. When issuing a manual refund on a Form 8038-CP, offsets can occur.

    A Deposit Ticket is prepared with Treasury Account Symbols 20–3220.

Julian Date Calendars Perpetual, 365 Days and Leap Year, 366 Days

The Julian Date is the number of the day of the year (out of the total days in the year). For Example: Day 43 of 365 (366 if a leap year).

  1. To determine the month and day given a DLN Julian Date of 043, follow the column up for the month (February), then follow the row with the number (043) for the day (12). Julian Date 043 = February 12.

  2. To determine the Julian date given for the month (February) and day (12), follow the month column down and the day across to where they intersect, February 12 = Julian Date 043.
