The purpose of Error Resolution is to resolve validity, field , consistency, and math errors in returns and other documents for posting to the Master File. Returns fall out in Error Resolution System (ERS) due to the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF). The entries from transcription are transferred to ERS fields. GMF programming causes a return to fall out to ERS if it does not meet certain criteria, including:

Employees use ERS to correct these conditions and use IDRS to research.

Authority for these procedures is found in the following sections of the Internal Revenue Code and their corresponding Treasury regulations:

Policy Statements for Submission Processing are found in IRM 1.2.1, Servicewide Policies and Authorities, Servicewide Policy Statements.

The Campus Director monitors operational performance for their campus.

The Operation Manager monitors operational performance for their operation.

The Team Manager/Lead monitors performance and ensures employees have the tools to perform their duties.

Team Employees are responsible for following the instructions found in this IRM and supporting updated IRM procedures.

Program Reports: System control reports are on the Control-D WebAccess (CTDWA) and a general listing of the reports are found in IRM 3.12.38, Error Resolution, BMF General Instructions.

Program Effectiveness is measured using the following:

Annual Review: Federal Managers Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)

Quality Review conducts a valid statistical sample size review of completed work to ensure IRM guidelines are followed.

The purpose of this initiative is to achieve consistency in the Business Master File (BMF) Error Resolution System (ERS) processing IRMs.

Ogden, Kansas City, and Paper Processing Branch, BMF Code and Edit and Error Resolution System (ERS) identified and developed topics for BMF Consistency.

A "♦" (diamond) before and after the subsection title shows BMF Consistency subsections.

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

Submit IRM deviations in writing following instructions from IRM 1.11.2.2.4, When Procedures Deviate from the IRM, and elevate through proper channels for executive approval.

Some Submission Processing Campuses have developed local Desk Procedures. Such procedures are only to be used:

Team managers must have a signed approval on file from the responsible Operation Manager on all Submission Processing Campus Desk Procedures.

All existing local information and procedural issuances must be reviewed periodically by the Operation Manager level (at least 2 times a year or with each IRM revision) to ensure conformance with Headquarters procedures (make necessary changes, secure necessary approvals, etc.).

Immediately notify the Headquarter tax analyst of any processing problems that cause a work stoppage.

Document Perfection and ERS are responsible for identifying refunds and for initiating requests for manual refunds.

Expeditious processing of refund returns is critical if the 45-day period is about to expire.

Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Manual Refunds - any return hand walked by a W&I Submission Processing (SP) liaison for Taxpayer Advocate Service must be processed by a Lead Tax Examiner or designated tax examiner using the following procedures in the order listed:

Correspondence: If required for missing or incomplete information, follow procedures below:

More suspense action needed: If the return requires other suspense action, then follow the procedures below:

Assigning Taxpayer Notice Codes (TPNCs/Math Error): When a math error is identified, do the following:

When Balance Due/ Overpayment Math Error Code (EC) generates do the following:

Rejects Suspense Procedures:

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 help 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..

TAS uses Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR), to start the OAR process of referring a case to the Wage and Investment (W&I) Division, to affect the resolution of the taxpayer’s problem. For more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, Taxpayer Advocate Service, Taxpayer Advocate Case Procedures, Advocating With Operations Assistance Requests (OARs).

Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria (see IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case 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 taxpayers issue the same day.

The definition of "same day resolution" is within 24 hours. The following two situations meet the definition of "same day resolution" :

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

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

BMF ID Theft is increasing. If a case is found with attachments showing the taxpayer is a victim of "ID Theft" :

The manager/lead will expedite the case to the P&A staff for referral to one of the SP BMF ID Theft Liaisons. The taxpayer must show that they are a victim of "ID Theft" ; do not refer cases that are subject to Criminal Investigation (CI), Examination (Exam), or Fraud review.

Effective January 1, 2017, Computer Condition Code "E" may be edited on Form 1120-S (any year) by the BMF ID Theft Liaison to identify a potential identify theft filing.

Criminal Investigation (CI) investigates potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and related financial crimes. Criminal violations of the IRC include willful attempts to evade or defeat the income tax. Criminal tax violations also include the willful failure to collect or pay over tax and false claims for refunds based on bogus return information.

If CI has stamped the return, do not send for further CI action.

For returns with refund claims of ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, do the following:

Because of the repetitive nature of the ERS/Rejects function, ERS/Rejects Tax Examining Technicians often recognize income tax return data that are outside of the norm for data found on similar returns for each income tax return type. If ERS finds return characteristics not meeting Audit Code or Exam referral criteria it deems suspicious, CI is available to review the referral.

If a suspicious return is found, and there is no sign Code and Edit (C&E) made a copy and sent to CI Referral do the following:

If the return fits other criteria (e.g., Frivolous Argument), take proper action.

The primary goal in identifying tax returns for examination is to promote the highest degree of voluntary compliance. Examination gives support and helps Submission Processing (SP) with any questionable return found during processing. Exam has a vast multitude of programs and tolerance criteria already found in several IRM sections. SP can refer any questionable return to Exam, unless prohibited by instructions currently found in several IRMs.

Businesses use frivolous arguments for expressing dissatisfaction with the substance, form, or administration of the tax laws by trying to illegally avoid or reduce tax liabilities. See IRM 25.25.10, Frivolous Return Program, and Exhibit 3.12.217-22, Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review, for a list of recognized frivolous arguments made by businesses.

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

Do not consider the following returns as frivolous, unless there is other evidence of a frivolous argument:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, (RRA98), Section 3705(a) gives identification requirements for all IRS employees working tax-related matters.

All IRS employees who communicate by telephone, face-to-face, or any other method of correspondence with taxpayers or their personal representatives on tax related matters must give (at a minimum) the following information:

When a taxpayer requests to speak with a specific employee who previously worked their inquiry or request, or complains about the level of service previously given, try to resolve the taxpayer’s inquiry. If unable to resolve, refer the inquiry using established procedures to the manager.

Secretaries, receptionists, or other people who answer the telephone in functional offices need to identify themselves. They should provide their badge identification (ID Card) number only if they are answering telephones which are routinely used to give tax or account information.

It is not necessary to repeat the badge identification (ID Card) number on a subsequent contact, when the nature of an employee's work involves multiple contacts with the same taxpayer and the employee has given the taxpayer (either telephone or in-person) their badge identification (ID Card) number on the first contact.

The Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2 Program Office in Headquarters is charged with the primary goal of implementing a single, modernized programming solution that gives daily processing of taxpayer accounts.

The CADE 2 solution is comprised of several components, to modernize the IRS to a daily processing environment with several Transition States.

The Business Master File (BMF) campus cycles are:

BMF transaction posting time frames are:

Transaction posting dates show a format of YYYYCCDD. YYYY is the year. CC is the posting cycle. Individual Master File (IMF) transactions values for DD are:

When the following forms are referred to in this section, the chart below shows their form number, form title and use.

The Error Resolution System will identify errors according to type and priority.

Any field that does not meet the requirement(s) for that field is displayed as a Field Error in the order encountered in the return.

This error is caused by a section with variable length input fields having an erroneous size field. This type of error will show all input fields of the terminus section. Transcribed data is present. Computer generated fields or Remittance Field for Section 01 will not be present.

Status Codes control records in the Error Resolution System (ERS). The status is updated when the return is placed in a specific inventory.

Below is a list of the status codes and a brief explanation:

The final two positions of the Status Code will consist of the first two positions of the Action Code. This will put similar work together on the Workable Suspense Inventory. For example, Action Code "321" = suspense period expired or no response to taxpayer correspondence. If a return was selected for Quality Review, the second and third positions are "QA" . For example, "1QA" , "3QA" , or "4QA" reflect Quality Review Status Codes.

When the Suspense Period expires before the return is activated, the status automatically moves from Status 2XX to Status 3XX.

Action Codes (AC) are input when information is missing, or the return must be suspended from processing.

For more information and applicable Action Codes, see IRM 3.12.38.3.4, Error Resolution System (ERS) Action Codes, and the exhibit in IRM 3.12.38-1, Action Codes.

When the perfection of a return is not possible and it is necessary to correspond, perform research or refer the document to another area of Submission Processing. The return is suspended, and required action taken.

Suspend the unprocessable return by entering the CC SSPND followed by the proper Action Code (AC).

Replies - When the taxpayer replies to correspondence, continue to process the return.

No Replies - When the taxpayer does not respond to correspondence, input CCC "3" and use the following procedures as applicable.

For missing schedules use the chart below to determine the Missing Schedule Code, Field 01MSC:

Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) is an inventory system for scanning all Accounts Management (AM) receipts into digital images and working the cases from those images.

"CII" returns are shown with "CII Image - Do not correspond for signature" stamped below the signature line or "CII" annotated on the front of the return.

Follow the correspondence instructions below for "CII" returns:

Taxpayers may send tax return information via fax as part of return perfection even when submitting a signature. In circumstances where contact with the taxpayer was made and documented, fax signatures are acceptable.

Contact with the taxpayer may be by telephone or correspondence. Follow local procedures to decide which method of contact to use.

Select the fax paragraph on the approved Correspondence Action Sheet to inform the taxpayer of the fax options.

Use the following resources to ensure you are speaking with the taxpayer or authorized representative before disclosing any tax information:

Before leaving any messages on a taxpayers answering machine, review:

Sometimes a return is received with written information on an attachment.

All attachments or photocopies of an attachment that are routed to another area must have the taxpayers:

The following shows some IDRS Command Codes (CCs).

See IDRS Command Codes at: IDRS Command Code Job Aid for all Command Code Job Aids.

Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, must be converted to Form 1120-S when the taxpayer has filed Form 1120 and the Entity Control Unpostable Unit determines the taxpayer has a valid Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation, on file.

When Form 1120 is converted to a Form 1120-S, Entity must ensure that only the Received Date (Field 01RCD), North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code (Field 01NAI), and Audit Code "4" (Field 03ADC) are edited to the new renumbered form. If a field other than those mentioned above was transcribed, delete it.

For MeF Form 1120 being reprocessed as Form 1120-S, ensure the correct Received Date is edited on the document. The Received Date is the Julian DLN date of the original DLN. Do not subtract 10 days in the case from the Julian Date.

Do not enter any tax data on the "blank" Form 1120-S.

If a request for an installment agreement (an inquiry by the taxpayer to make payments on a debt) is attached to any return, detach it and send it to the Collection Branch. This request may come on Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request. When forwarding the installment request ensure the following information is included as a working trail: EIN, Name, Type of Return, Tax Period, Amount Due and Amount Paid.

Section 14103 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 overhauled Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 965, now titled “Treatment of deferred foreign income upon transition to participation exemption system of taxation,” provides that U.S. shareholders must pay a transition tax on the untaxed foreign earnings of certain specified foreign corporation as if those earnings had been repatriated to the United States.

If the Tax Period is 201712 through 202012, SSPND with Action Code "460" , and input "J" in Field 01CCC, when any of the following are present:

If a Section 965 return was found by ERS and C&E has not edited Action Code "460" or CCC "J" or both, SSPND with Action Code "460" and enter CCC "J" in Field 01CCC.

Follow the instructions below to finish processing the return. Ensure that the return was correctly identified as a Section 965 return.

Under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 and CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, the taxpayer can elect to:

For tax periods 202201 - 202212, identify a "Elective Payment" or "Deemed Payment" when the taxpayer writes "IRA22DPE" on an attachment or on Form 1120-S, Line 23d dotted portion (prior year form revisions).

When a return is identified with an "Elective Payment Election" , and Code and Edit (C&E) has not done so, do the following:

When a return is identified with a "Credit Transfer" , and C&E has not done so, do the following:

It is important to leave a legible "Working Trail" (or "Action Trail" ) using blue ink for those who may work the return later.

If corresponding with a non-suspense letter, "X" and write the corrected money amounts to the left of each original point(s) of error. Write money amounts in dollars only or dollars and cents, as applicable. Arrowing is allowed for money amounts when there are no intervening entries between the arrow and the line to which the money is to be entered.

Leave a working trail on the return when changes are made to the following items:

When working Reject re-inputs, circle out any previous Action Codes shown on the front of the return, if no longer applicable.

When working Rejects, write "Voided" with the date above the DLN in red, when voiding a return.

Remittance (RMIT>) is an entry that identifies payment made with the return.
