Withholding Only Work (WOW) Overview
25.25.11.2 (01-09-2026) Withholding Only Work (WOW) Overview When Return Integrity Verification Operations (RIVO) identifies a return containing potential fraudulent withholding, a Notice CP 05A, We're Holding Your Refund Until We Finish Reviewing Your Tax Return is systemically issued to the taxpayer at the address of record. The Notice CP 05A requests more information to support the withholding claimed on the return and the case is suspended for 60 days. WOW inventory is placed in the WOW Database and will be updated by RIVO Fraud and Referral Evaluation (FRE) department and by RIVO employees when cases are resolved. In addition to Notice CP 05A responses, WOW inventory may include the following: WOW inventory may receive cases with a -E freeze (TC 810 RC 4) on the account, along with a P- and/or -R freeze. The -E freeze is a precautionary freeze code utilized to prevent erroneous refunds on questionable filings. These cases are identified as part of the ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ with potential fraudulent high withholding issues. Do not reject these cases. WOW will follow normal procedures, addressing the withholding only. WOW inventory will consist of cases with a -E freeze (TC 810 RC 6) on the account, along with a P- and/or -R freeze. The -E freeze is a precautionary freeze code utilized to prevent erroneous refunds on questionable filings. These cases are ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. WOW inventory will consist of cases with a -E freeze (TC 810 RC 7) on the account, along with a P- and/or -R freeze. The -E freeze is a precautionary freeze code utilized to prevent erroneous refunds on questionable filings. These cases are ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. Rule 7W cases fall into the non-compliant filter. This rule addresses ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ claiming withholding. 7W cases can be identified on CC TXMODA and will contain transaction code (TC) 971, action code (AC) 122, with MISC fields, "DDB Rule 7W1 and/or 7W" . These markers are not included in AQC inventory, unless there is a subsequent AQC marker (see IRM 25.25.7.2, Automated Questionable Credit (AQC) Inventory Types) on the account. Cases worked in the WOW program may contain refundable credits. WOW cases that have refundable credits that received a Notice CP 05A or were previously referred to WOW through EFDS (i.e., STARS dispositions AA, BA, MA, and WA) or due to inventory management (i.e., Headquarters referral from AQC or Exam) must not be referred to another treatment stream. The WOW program will only work the withholding issue. The WOW program does not adjust refundable credits. Do not contact the RIVO employee who input the adjustment, the majority of these cases are ran through a batch tool. Follow normal procedures (i.e., amended return, math error response, etc.). Identity Theft Taxpayer Responses to WOW cases. Taxpayer responses to Letter 105C, Claim Disallowed, Letter 106C, Claim Partially Disallowed or Letter 916C, Claim Incomplete for Processing; No Consideration. Taxpayer Inquiries and referrals, see IRM 25.25.13, Account Resolution for Return Integrity Verification Operations (RIVO), for more information. When no response is received from the taxpayer for the Notice CP 05A within the allotted time, the following actions are taken by RIVO Fraud and Referral Evaluation (FRE) department: The return is systemically dispositioned in the Electronic Fraud Detection System (EFDS) to be worked via the Withholding Only Work (WOW) tool. The WOW tool will adjust the withholding on the account based on the ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ and issue a Letter 105C, Claim Disallowed, or a Letter 106C, Claim Partially Disallowed, to the taxpayer. Accounts adjusted by the WOW tool will show a closed control base on IDRS with the control base activity, QRP-ADJUST, category, QRPW, and IDRS number that begins with 1483X. Note: Prior year cases may have the control base activity WH-REV-ADJ. The WOW tool does not generate history notes in IDRS. If the WOW tool is unable to adjust the account due to issues on IDRS or the taxpayer has sent in correspondence, the WOW case will have a status of Rejected in the WOW database. Tax Examiners will work correspondence cases and update the case in the WOW database per IRM 25.25.11.3, Taxpayer Responses. Cases that have received no correspondence will be assigned by management to tax examiners to be worked per IRM 25.25.11.5, No Response to Correspondence. Note: For more information on WOW tool rejections refer to, Exhibit 25.25.11-1, Withholding Only Work (WOW) IAT Tool Reject Codes. Correspondence received in response to the Notice CP 05A or other inventory listed above in paragraph 1 above are resolved by RIVO employees.

See IRM 25.25.13.4.3, Resolving Accounts Assigned to 1487777777. Exception: If the return has a control open to IDRS number 1483822222, monitor the account for a resolution for the amended return. After the resolution for the amended return is resolved, follow procedures in this IRM. For additional information, refer to IRM 21.6.3.4.2.2.1, Questionable Withholding With or Without RIVO Involvement . Review the case image in Accounts Management Services (AMS) to determine if the information provided in the response is necessary for AM to resolve their case. If the information is already present or is available on AMS or IDRS, classify waste the response. If a Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit, is attached with an original signature and it is not present in AMS images, route the Form 14039 to the Image Control Team (ICT) using the Form 12305, Routing Slip. If the AMS image contains a Form 14039, destroy the Form 14039 as classified waste. If the response includes a Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, route the Form 1040X and envelope to ICT using the Exhibit 25.25.2-2, 1040X Referral Return Form. Review the TIN in Scheme Tracking and Referral System (STARS) for the TC 150 tax return.

All other incoming WOW taxpayer correspondence will be located in the Electronic File Storage (EFS) application and must be controlled to RIVO on IDRS using guidelines in IRM 21.5.1.4.2.2, Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) - Control Procedures. All current correspondence received from the taxpayer in EFS will be controlled using: Category, "CP5A" , IDRS generic number, "1489100007" and Activity, "EFMMDDYYYY" (EF = Electronic File MMDDYYY = Received date of the correspondence). Note: A control will be opened for current correspondence, with an exception to accounts that already contain a WOW CP 05A control. Duplicate controls may be closed in mass by a POC in RIVO. Reminder: Once a case is assigned to a tax examiner, the tax examiner must reassign the case(s) to their IDRS number. When there is an unassigned TWRO (4442 inquiry) controlled to IDRS number,"1487900000" , tax examiner must check AMS Alert Case information to confirm the 4442 inquiry is WOW. If the 4442 inquiry is confirmed WOW, the TE must reassign the case in AMS to their 4442 work inventory. When working 4442 inventory or an OAR, the tax examiner must take over the case in EFS and all other WOW IDRS controls.
Identity Theft Response
25.25.11.3.1 (01-09-2026) Identity Theft Response Identity Theft (IDT) occurs when a return is filed by someone who is not the true TIN (taxpayer identification number) owner without their knowledge/consent. TIN owners may notify the IRS if they are a victim or potential victim of IDT. The following are examples of ways to determine an IDT filing has occurred on the true TIN owner's account: TIN owners respond with Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit or statements from correspondence submitted by the taxpayer stating they have been a victim of identity theft. AMS notes may contain IDT information. Internal referrals and inquiries from other areas such Compliance who have made an IDT determination through their research. If there is another open IDRS control base present on the module to a specific employee (disregard non-RIVO generic control bases), contact the controlling employee prior to resolution to coordinate efforts in order to prevent erroneous or duplicate adjustments or actions. Use Command Code (CC) FIEMP to locate the employee. Research RIVO generic control bases to ensure RIVO actions have been taken before making adjustments to accounts. If the taxpayer responds with Form 4506-F, Request for Copy of Fraudulent Tax Return, or a written request for a copy of the identity theft return on their account, refer to procedures in IRM 25.23.3.2.6.1, Intake - Accepting Form 4506-F or Written Requests for copies of Fraudulent Return(s) paragraph 1, box 1 for routing the request.

If Then 1 The reply or account information indicates the taxpayer is a victim of identity theft or has a Form 14039, Identity Theft Advidavit attached. An original unprocessed return is attached to the reply. Input a transaction (TC) 971 action code (AC) 522 on command code (CC) ENMOD when the reply shows IDT, refer to Exhibit 25.23.2-10, IMF Only TC 971 /AC 522 Tax-Related Identity Theft, Case Status (Initial Claim/Suspicion). Exception: Do not input a TC 971 AC 522 if one already exists for that tax year. Note: For MISC field use "WI ITVAA UNWORK" for UNWORK or "WI ITVAA IRSID" for IRS ID. Use UNWORK only on cases with Form 14039 or a police report, use this Tax Source only if one of them have been received. Use IRSID when there is no police report/ 14039 or when TE suspects IDT due to research and or response received. Detach the return and all necessary return attachments, (including the Form 14039) and the envelope from the reply and send the return to Submission Processing (SP) for processing. See IRM 3.10.73.6(12), Batching Unnumbered Returns and Documents, for procedures to follow when forwarding returns to SP for processing. Input return notes in STARS, Update the category and disposition in STARS to "CL CAT 5" . Exception: If the return is in PS 49 (ID Theft Hold) take no action in EFDS. Input/Update AMS notes per IRM 21.2.2.4.5(10), Account Management Services (AMS). Destroy the notice or letter and any internal documents as classified waste, see IRM 21.5.1.4.10, Classified Waste.

Use UNWORK only on cases with Form 14039 or a police report, use this Tax Source only if one of them have been received. Use IRSID when there is no police report/ 14039 or when TE suspects IDT due to research and or response received. Input return notes in STARS and update the category and disposition in STARS per IRM 25.25.5-1, Triage Procedures. If the return is dispositioned in STARS to "MR" , open a control base using "EVFY" to the identity theft generic IDRS number for the team/site and route the correspondence to the team/site. If the return is dispositioned in STARS to "AF" , input STARS notes, and destroy the correspondence as classified waste, see IRM 21.5.1.4.10, Classified Waste. Exception: If a Form 14039 with an original signature is present, route the response to the open RIVO control. If the return is dispositioned to "CL" and the account was resolved as identity theft on IDRS and a Form 14039 with an original signature is present, associate the Form 14039 to the account adjustment using Form 9856, Attachment Alert to Document Retention. All other responses can be destroyed as classified waste, see IRM 21.5.1.4.10, Classified Waste. For returns dispositioned to all other dispositions, if a Form 14039 with an original signature is present, associate the Form 14039 to the DLN of the TC 150 (if a paper DLN) otherwise send the Form to Alpha Files per IRM 3.5.61.21.10, Identity Theft Returns - Alpha Files. Exception: If the signed Form 14039 is viewable in AMS images, destroy the form as classified waste. If the account does not contain a posted return (TC 150) on MFT 30 for the tax period in question and a Form 14039 is viewable in AMS images, destroy the response (including any Form 14039 (signed or unsigned) as classified waste. If there is no image of a Form 14039 in AMS images, send the signed Form 14039 to Alpha Files per IRM 3.5.61.21.10, Identity Theft Returns - Alpha Files. Input/Update AMS notes per IRM 21.2.2.4.5(10), Account Management Services (AMS). Destroy the notice or letter and any internal documents as classified waste, see IRM 21.5.1.4.10, Classified Waste. Ensure all RIVO control bases are closed in IDRS, update EFS and WOW database.
Non-Identity Theft Response
25.25.11.3.2 (01-09-2026) Non-Identity Theft Response Taxpayers may respond to the Notice CP 05A, Information Regarding Your Refund - Refund Being Held Pending More Thorough Review, with various forms or statements to substantiate the withholding claimed on the return, or the taxpayer may state an error was made and provide a corrected or amended return, Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Return Integrity Verification Operations (RIVO) will resolve the account using the procedures in this IRM. If an open IDRS control base is present on the module to a specific employee (disregard non-RIVO generic control bases), contact the controlling employee prior to resolution to coordinate efforts in order to prevent erroneous or duplicate adjustments or actions. Use Command Code (CC) FIEMP refer to IRM 3.13.5.94, CC FIEMP to locate the employee. Research RIVO generic control bases to ensure RIVO actions have been taken prior to making adjustments to accounts. Note: If an open WOW correspondence control base is present and the correspondence is not found in EFS, request the additional taxpayer correspondence before taking actions on the account and reassign all controls to your IDRS number. If there is a credit elect on the current year account, the credit will systemically be applied after the refund is released or the withholding is adjusted. If the credit elect is for a prior year account, the credit will have to be manually applied to the subsequent year, if there will be a refund (does not apply to balance due accounts) after WOW actions are taken. Refer to IRM 21.5.8.4, IDRS Guidelines for Credit Transfers for instructions for multiple actions to be taken on the account. Rule 7W cases fall into the non-compliant filter. This rule addresses ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ claiming withholding. 7W cases can be identified on CC TXMODA and will contain transaction code (TC) 971, action code (AC) 122, with MISC fields, "DDB Rule 7W1 and/or 7W" . These markers are not included in AQC inventory, unless there is a subsequent AQC marker on the account, refer to IRM 25.25.7.2, Automated Questionable Credit (AQC) Inventory Types. Tax examiners will resolve the cases per the table below. In addition to following the procedures in the table below, if the withholding verifies, the tax examiner must complete the following actions on the account, prior to releasing the refund: Account includes TC 971 AC 122 (MISC field, "DDB Rule 7W1 and/or 7W" ) and TC 971 AC 134, the tax examiner must reverse both markers using TC 972 AC 122 and TC 972 AC 134. Input EFDS/STARS return note, "Rule 7W Verified" . If the account has a -O freeze (Disaster Indicator), follow the procedures in the table below. If the withholding verifies per instructions, follow the procedures to release the refund. If the withholding does not verify, do not disallow withholding during the disaster relief period. Update the current control base using activity code "OFRZMMDDYY", status "M" and continue to monitor the account, until the -O freeze disaster periods expires and then follow the procedures in the table below. Exception: If working inquiries (4442/OAR), and the taxpayer agrees to the disallowance, the account may be adjusted and Letter 105C, Claim Disallowed or Letter 106C, Claim Partially Disallowed, may be issued. Follow the procedures in the table below and document the agreement statement from the taxpayer on AMS and EFDS return notes.

Note: If there is no open WOW control, open a monitoring control base using category code "CP5A", activity code "6255CMMDD" (60 day suspense date), status "M" and employee's IDRS number. Send Letter 6255C, Third-Party Notification, to taxpayer and use the return address code "EA" and signature code "KA" for the Return Integrity Verification Operations (RIVO) Director. After 60 days, contact the business. See IRM 25.25.3.9(3), Manual Verification Procedures, for additional instructions. See IRM 25.25.3.6, Telephone Verification Overview, for additional guidance for calling employers. Note: If all the income documents are verified, after the manual verification is completed, follow procedures in table 1 box 1. If all the income documents do not verify, after the manual verification is completed, follow procedures in table 1 box 3. Reminder: Taxpayer in hardship situations can provide oral authorization for third-party contact. If the taxpayer gave their oral consent to Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), it must be reflected on the OAR. In this case, tax examiners do not need to send the Letter 6255C, Third-Party Notification and wait 60 days before contacting the Employer. If the oral consent is not reflected on the OAR, reach out to TAS to verify the taxpayer's consent and extend the OAR, if needed. If the extension date expires, close the OAR, documenting that Letter 6255C sent. DO NOT reject the OAR

Statute Imminent / Statute Expired
25.25.11.4 (10-20-2025) Statute Imminent / Statute Expired There may be instances when the tax has been removed from the taxpayer's return data and needs to be reinstated, however the assessment statute is imminent or barred. The Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED) is generally three years after the due date of the return or three years after the date the original return was actually filed, whichever is later. See IRM 25.6.1.6.5, Chart of Expedited Statute Processing, for more information. Note: A withholding reversal is an assessment of "an overstatement of the credit for income tax withheld" per IRC 6201(a)(3) and can't be made after the ASED expires, if the tax has been removed. Follow the instructions in the table below to resolve the account: If Then 1 The statute is imminent (the ASED will expire within 90 days of today's date) All assessments within 90 days of the expiration date must be routed to the Statute Function on a Form 2859, Request for Quick or Prompt Assessment, see IRM 25.23.2.5, Statute Protection, for more guidance. 2 The statute is expired Send Letter 105C or Letter 106C, refer to RIVO Portal, for information on WOW letter paragraphs.. Input a TC 807 for the dollar amount of the withholding to be removed. Note: DO NOT Adjust tax. For a partial disallowance use blocking series "051" to associate the 106C letter. Ensure to use HC "4", if any of the refund is to be moved to excess collections. If money is to be moved to excess collections, monitor the module for the posting to excess and then release the remainder of the refund. Reminder: Input a TC 170 for zero, if there is a posted TC 170 with a DLN different from the TC 150. Input a second adjustment on the full disallowance, with a Transaction Code (TC) 290/.00 with Blocking Series (BS) "98/99", Source Code (SC) "0", HC "4", posting delay "1", for the disallowance letter. Reminder: Input a TC 170 for zero, if thereis a posted TC 170 with a DLN different from the TC 150. If the case is still open in STARS, update STARS disposition to "AL" . Input/Update AMS notes per IRM 21.2.2.4.5(10) , Account Management Services (AMS). Ensure all RIVO control bases are closed in IDRS, update EFS and WOW database.
No Response to Correspondence
25.25.11.5 (10-20-2025) No Response to Correspondence Management will assign cases to tax examiners unable to be resolved by the WOW tool, either due to IDRS account issues and/or taxpayers never responded to RIVO correspondence. Reminder: Check IDRS control bases for any new correspondence received from the taxpayer. If the account has a -O freeze (Disaster Indicator), follow the procedures in the table below. If the withholding verifies per instructions, follow the procedures to release the refund. If the withholding does not verify, do not disallow withholding during the disaster relief period. Update the current control base using activity code "OFRZMMDDYY" , status "M" , and continue to monitor the account until the -O freeze expires and then follow the procedures in the table below. Exception: If working inquiries (4442 or an OAR), and the taxpayer agrees to the disallowance, the account may be adjusted and Letter 105C, Claim Disallowed or Letter 106C, Claim Partially Disallowed, may be issued. Follow the procedures in the table below and document the agreement statement from the taxpayer on AMS and EFDS return notes. Note: For verification purposes, Letter 6225C, Third-Party Notification, may be mailed on accounts with a -O freeze before the disaster relief period expires. The amount claimed is the refund amount on the tax return. Letter 105C, Claim Disallowed, is issued if the adjustment results in a zero refund or balance due. Letter 106C, Claim Partially Disallowed, is issued if the adjustment results in a refund. If an adjustment results in an increase to the original refund, release the refund without making an adjustment. Follow the procedures in the table below to resolve the account. IF THEN 1 The account has an open control to or has been resolved by another function other than RIVO or refund has been released. Input appropriate return notes in STARS. Update STARS disposition and category to "CL CAT 5" . Input/Update AMS notes per IRM 21.2.2.4.5(10) , Account Management Services (AMS). Ensure all RIVO control bases are closed in IDRS, update EFS and WOW database. Note: If there are AQC or FRIV markers (which are RIVO cases) on the account, do not update STARS to "CL CAT 5" 2 The withholding ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Note: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Reminder: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Caution: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Input appropriate return notes in STARS.
