Whenever an IRS date of birth is present, it is the one used for all processing decisions. Some DM1 records contain a date of death from the Social Security Administration. DM1 records may also contain an IRS date of death. Whenever an IRS date of death is present, it is the one used for all processing decisions.

The user may add, change, or delete an IRS date (either DOB or DOD). If the DM1 is not available, the exact message issued will be "DM1 FILE NOT AVAILABLE" . Any other message indicating failure of the command code will represent a failure of the telecommunications or systems support and should NOTbe reported as a DM1 problem. A successful execution will be confirmed with a message "REQUEST COMPLETED" .
