Effective Date (01-01-2023) Nancy Sieger Chief Information Officer
Program Scope and Objectives
2.2.3.1 (10-19-2022) Program Scope and Objectives The Partnership Control System (PCS) is used to create, monitor and update information related to Partnership and Investor examinations. Purpose: This IRM provides instructions on how to use IDRS command code TSCHG. Audience: Campus Revenue Agents (RAs), Tax Compliance Officers (TCOs), Tax Examiners (TEs) and Clerks working pass-through entities and/or their investors linked on the PCS. Policy Owner: Chief Information Officer Program Owner: Information Technology/Application Development Primary Stakeholders: SB/SE, Large Business and Industry (LBI), and Appeals Program Goals: PCS is a database used to create an electronic linkage between pass-through entities and their underlying partners. Linking in some instances is mandatory. Linkage allows for the proper control of statutes and ensures all relevant partners are processed.
Background
2.2.3.1.1 (01-01-2023) Background PCS was created to monitor and control pass-through entity investors. Pass-through entities can have many partners and many levels of tiering. Tiering occurs when an investor in a pass-through entity is also a pass-through entity. This complexity can make it difficult to keep track of statutes and monitor all the investors.
Authority
2.2.3.1.2 (01-01-2023) Authority PCS control is a policy that was established in response to the partnership provisions of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) of 1982. It has been expanded to cover other pass-through entities that fall outside of TEFRA.
Responsibilities
2.2.3.1.3 (01-01-2023) Responsibilities The Director, SB/SE, Headquarters, Examination Field and Campus Policy is responsible for: Coordinating and Implementing PCS enhancements; and Coordinating resolutions for PCS Systemic problems The SB/SE Program Manager, Examination Field and Campus Policy, Campus Exam & Field Support is responsible for: Ensuring that PCS procedural changes and computer program changes are implemented and coordinated with area office and campus examination personnel; and Monitoring and evaluating area office and campus examination PCS quality control procedures The campus PCS Coordinator is responsible for: Identifying and resolving technical problems; and Identifying and coordinating the resolution of PCS systemic problems
Program Management and Review
2.2.3.1.4 (01-01-2023) Program Management and Review Program Reports: PCS generates a variety of reports used to monitor the inventory and related statutes. The data source for the reports is the Partnership Information Control File located in Martinsburg, WV. Program Effectiveness: PCS is used to help identify the effectiveness of the Campus Pass-Through Function program. PCS shows the number of investors linked within a pass-through structure. Failing to link partner returns timely can result in barred statutes or the need to follow burdensome procedures such as manual assessments or untimely notice procedures.
Program Controls
2.2.3.1.5 (01-01-2023) Program Controls IRS will implement access control measures that will provide protection from unauthorized alteration, loss, unavailability, or disclosure of information. SACS controls all the IDRS user accesses and permissions.

Update PICF Data (Command Code TSCHG)
2.2.3.2 (01-01-2015) Update PICF Data (Command Code TSCHG) This Command Code is used to effect changes to PICF data elements. Changes are always addressed through the Partnership record in order that multiple element changes can be effected thru one screen input. (i.e. Partner Record and PICF Linkage Record elements may be changed thru one screen input). TSCHG will count each request completed and display the results in the message, "REQUEST COMPLETED/UPDATES nnnn" , where nnnn is the number of completed requests. TSCHG's definer Z will initialize the update counter to zero. This Command Code utilizes a free form method of data entry. This involves input of fixed Partnership data on Line 1, fixed Partner data on Line 2 (when appropriate) and variable element data on Lines 3 thru 12. Variable elements 01 thru 35 are input in the format "NN-vvvvvv" . NN is an item number as assigned in the table below. The "-" (hyphen) acts as a breaker between the item number and the input element data "vvvvvv" . A "," (comma) is used to designate the end of an input element. Only one element at a time may be input on Line 3 on a TSCHGM. The following elements may be changed by Command Code TSCHG within the limitations prescribed for each individual element. Item Number Element Name Valid for Partnership Valid for Investor Valid for M (multiple investors) 01 PN-K1–NAME X 02 PN-K1–STREET-ADDR X 03 PN-K1–CTY-STATE-ZIP X 04 PN-K1–ADDTNL-ADDR-LINE X 05 PN-1YR-ASSMT-DATE/ASSESSMENT-AMOUNT/ASSESSMENT-TIME X X 06 PN-K1–LOSS-PCT X 07 USER-SPECIAL-MSG X X X 08 PS-ADJUSTMENT-AMT X 09 PS-TEFRA-CD X X 10 PS-PROMOTER-NUM X 11 424–DROP-DATE X X X 12 PURGE-DATE X X X 13 PS-120–DAY-DATE X 14 PS-TEFRA-PENALTY-CD X 15 PS-DBA-NAME X 16 PS-60–DAY-DATE X 17 RESERVED 18 PS-ASSMT-AMT X 19 RESERVED 20 PS-TMP-NAME X 21 SETTLEMENT-DATE X 22 REPORT-PACKAGE- IND X 23 PS-TMP-SECOND- NAME-LINE X 24 PS-TMP-STREET- ADDRESS X 25 PS-TMP-CTY-STATE- ZIP X 26 PN-BANKRUPTCY- DATE X 27 PACKAGE- RECEIVED-DATE X X 28 PS-DOCKET-NUMBER X 29 PN-BANKRUPTCY-IND X 30 CTF-IND X X X 31 PS-NAME-LINE-2 X 32 PS-STREET-ADDR X 33 PS-CTY-ST-ZIP X 34 PN-CLOSING-CD X 35 PN-TIER-IND X Note: The "X" as reflected under the type record indicates the PICF Records that may be changed for those Item Numbers.
