Background
2.3.29.1.1 (03-01-2023) Background IDRS will compute accrued interest and accrued failure to pay penalty on IRAF/IMF/BMF modules to the date specified on the input of CC INTST, or to the final payment date for CC ICOMP . Accruals obtained from CC INTST and CC ICOMP are for display purposes only and are not stored in the tax module. IDRS will also compute interest (due or allowable), estimated tax penalty, and failure to pay tax penalty for specified amounts and specified periods of time with the input of CC COMPA. The module need not be on IDRS to use this command code.
Authority
2.3.29.1.2 (03-01-2023) Authority IRM 20.1, Penalty Handbook, provides guidance to all areas of the IRS for all civil penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). It sets forth general policy and procedural requirements for assessing and abating penalties, and it contains discussions on topics such as criteria for relief from certain penalties.
Responsibilities
2.3.29.1.3 (03-01-2023) Responsibilities The Director, Business Support, is the director responsible for the servicewide civil penalty program. The Director, Internal Management, is the director responsible for the IDRS Command Code. Overall responsibility for civil penalty programs is assigned to OSP. OSP is a matrix organization residing in the Business Support (Small Business/Self Employed) Function. OSP is charged with coordinating policy and procedures concerning the civil penalty program administration, ensuring consistency with the penalty policy statement, reviewing and analyzing penalty information, researching penalty effectiveness on compliance trends, and determining appropriate action necessary to promote voluntary compliance. Each and every taxpayer has a set of fundamental rights when dealing with IRS as provided in the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR). All employees handling penalty cases must do so in accordance with the TBOR as listed in IRC 7803(a)(3). The TBOR can also be found at Taxpayer Bill of Rights on irs.gov
Program Management and Review
2.3.29.1.4 (03-01-2023) Program Management and Review Every function in the IRS has a role in proper penalty administration. It is essential that each function conduct its operations with an emphasis on promoting voluntary compliance. Appropriate business reviews should be conducted to ensure consistency with the penalty policy statement (Policy Statement 20-1) and philosophy. Attention should be directed to penalty program coordination between offices and functions to make sure that approaches are consistent and penalty information is used for identifying and responding to compliance problems.
Program Controls
2.3.29.1.5 (03-01-2023) Program Controls SACS controls all the IDRS user accesses and permissions.

Command Code INTST
2.3.29.2 (01-01-2014) Command Code INTST CC INTST computes the correct outstanding balance, including interest and failure to pay accruals, to the date specified in the input of the command code. The module used in the computation must be present on IDRS, and, for a complete computation, must not contain any of the restrictive conditions specified in See Exhibit 2.3.29-3 (4), (5) and (6). CC INTSTN has the same capabilities as INTST. In addition, accruals will be computed to the input date plus 30 days, input date plus 45 days, and input date plus 60 days. CC INTSTA has the same capabilities as INTST. In addition, accruals will be computed to the input date plus 10 days, 15 days and 21 days or any dates input, as long as they are less than 30 days. CC INTSTB has the same capabilities as INTST In, addition, it computes a separate total for other assessed penalties. CC INTSTV has the same capabilities as INTST. In addition, accruals will be computed to the input date, input date plus 30 days, and input date plus 60 days. CC INTSTD has the same capabilities as INTST. In addition, it will also shows the detail break down for Interest and FTP computation table.
Command Code COMPA
2.3.29.3 (06-23-2009) Command Code COMPA The input of CC COMPA causes IDRS to compute the interest on a specified amount for a specified period of time. Each screen display (page) can accommodate up to 21 amounts. CC COMPA computes and displays a line amount for each line of input. The line amounts are accumulated and displayed on line 23 as the page total. CC COMPA also has the capability of accumulating page totals for display on subsequent page(s). It is important that the interest periods input not overlap. COMPA computes debit interest before 1-1-1999. From 01-01-1999 and subsequent, COMPA will compute CREDIT and DEBIT interest (since the interest rate for "Non-Corporate" taxpayers will be the same for CREDIT & DEBIT). COMPAC is used to compute credit interest before 1-1-1999. From 1-1-1999 on COMPAC will compute credit interest for "Corporate" taxpayers only. Input and output formats are the same as COMPAD. COMPAE provides estimated tax from dates and to dates for a specified period ending and MFT. COMPAD can accommodate 21 lines of input (21 amounts); for each line (or amount), COMPAD displays the detail used to compute the interest. The appropriate percent(s), the to and from dates used to compute the elapsed time, the factor used and the amount computed as the result is displayed and then accumulated into a total for all screens. COMPAD computes in the same manner as COMPA and is designed to be used with one tax module. COMPAD computes DEBIT interest before 1-1-1999. 01-01-1999 and Subsequent for "Non-Corporate" taxpayers, COMPAD will compute CREDIT and DEBIT interest (since the interest rate for "Non-Corporate" taxpayers will be the same for CREDIT & DEBIT). COMPAF causes IDRS to compute failure to pay penalty on a specified amount for a specified period of time. Each screen display can accommodate up to 21 amounts. COMPAF displays a page total and FTP penalty computed for each amount input. It also has the capability of accumulating page totals for display on subsequent page(s). COMPAS, to be used for manual computation of estimated tax penalty, has the same capability as COMPA except that interest will not be compounded. COMPA4, to be used with certain estate tax modules, has the same capabilities as COMPA except that the interest rate is always 4%. COMPAR is used when several independent debit interest calculations are desired on the same page of input. For example, up to eleven computations can be checked on one input screen, provided that each input line is from a separate tax module. If more than one input line is needed for one module's interest computation, COMPA will have to be used. Overlapping dates may be used in COMPAR. Line amounts will be displayed and a page total accumulated, which may be carried over onto subsequent pages. Computes Debit interest before 01-01-1999. 01-01-1999 and subsequent Debit and Credit (for "Non-Corporate taxpayers" ) interest. COMPAM is used for multiple independent credit interest calculations on the same input page. It is possible to input eleven computations on one screen, provided that each input line is associated with a separate tax module. COMPAC will have to be used if the computation from one module requires more than one input line. COMPAM, like its debit interest counterpart, COMPAR, will accept overlapping dates. Line amounts will be displayed and a page total accumulated, which may be carried over onto subsequent pages. Computes Credit interest before 01-01-1999. 01-01-1999 and subsequent Credit interest for Corporate taxpayers only. COMPAP, to be used with dates after 12/31/1984, has the same capabilities as COMPA except that the interest rate is 120 percent of the regular rate. COMPA, COMPAF, COMPAS, COMPA4 and COMPAP are designed to be used for only one module per input. For example, a module with the following transactions: 150 4/15/1982 1000.00 276 6/15/1982 10.00 196 6/15/1982 32.20 670 1/10/1983 500.00 670 2/20/1983 300.00 would, for a 4/1/83 payoff date, be input thus for COMPA: 04151982 06151982 1,000.00 06151982 01101983 1,010.00 01101983 02201983 510.00 02201983 04011983 210.00 and thus for COMPAF: 04151982 06151982 1,000.00 01101983 02201983 500.00 02201983 04011983 200.00 Only tax balances are considered for COMPAF, and only tax and penalty balances are used in COMPA. The input computation periods normally should not overlap, as that may cause incorrect computation. COMPAG is used to compute credit interest for GATT corporations. (Tax periods 199412 and subsequent) Input is the same as COMPAC. Output is the same as COMPA. COMPA6 is used to compute interest for Military personnel based on IRM 5.1.7.12.2 where the interest can only be charged at a maximum of 6 percent.
Command Code ICOMP
2.3.29.4 (06-23-2009) Command Code ICOMP CC ICOMP will compute payment information for installment agreements, for an entire account or for up to 15 requested modules of an account. The interest and penalty accruals, total balance due, total payments, and the date and amount of the final payment, are computed for the life of the agreement. ICOMPF returns a format to be used for inputting a CC ICOMP request.

Note: The output of CC INTST should be reviewed and carefully interpreted if the input "TO DATE" is prior to the date on any posted/pending interest assessment/abatement, or if such " TO DATE" is prior to the date on any posted/pending FTP penalty assessment/abatement. This is necessary since the assessed interest and assessed FTP totals reflect all such transactions present regardless of transaction dates. Due to the complex processing requirements, processing cannot always be terminated upon the first condition encountered that prevents computation of interest or FTP penalty. Therefore, in cases with multiple conditions all non-compute conditions encountered will be reflected in the messages displayed on the screen. The messages and conditions that prevent computation of interest and/or FTP penalty are reflected in the next several paragraphs. INTST Warning Messages — The warning message will consist of a one line message on line 22 of the main INTST response screen. The conditions present will not restrict interest or FTP penalty but will warn the user of conditions on the account.

Command Code COMPAF Input
Exhibit 2.3.29-15 Command Code COMPAF Input Use the Command Code COMPA with the definer F to compute failure to pay penalty. Beginning January 1, 1987, a 1% Start Date may be entered (See Item 3 listed below) on the screen. User can enter up to 21 lines of data on the screen. If the computation is to be continued on a second screen format for the same module, the continuation indicator must be present on the subsequent input for a correct computation of FTP penalty. Due to program complexities and limitations FTP computations involving additional assessments, such as TC290, TC298, TC300, and TC308, must be entered on a separate screen from the original Tax liability. Input Display for COMPAF Example of a COMPAF input screen. Please click here for the text description of the image.

Terminal Response to COMPAF Error Response: An asterisk (*) will display to the right of each invalid data element. On line 23, beginning in position 1, the error message "PLEASE CORRECT INVALID DATA" will display in inverse video. The error message " INVAL START — DT/NO 1% COMPUTATION" will display in inverse video on line 23 should the operator attempt to input a 1% Start Date which is within the time period in which FTP was computed at 1/1%. Example: COMPAF 08061987 05051987 08221987 100.00 This input would generate the INVAL START-DT error message because the program is then actually computing to the end of the month, which in this example will always be the 5th of the month. Because the To Date is past the 5th of the month, the program actually will compute to 09051987, thereby charging the taxpayer with the FTP penalty at the 1/1% rate. Since 09051987 is past 08061987, there will be no computation at the 1% rate. The operator should either re-input the screen without the 1% Start Date or consult the IRM 20.1 to be certain that they have computed the correct 1% Start Date. The invalid data elements can be corrected and re-entered. Valid Response: Output of COMPAF. See Exhibit 2.3.29-15. When a module involves FTP Penalty rates that change from 1/1% to 1% and then back to 1/1%, the computation request must be entered on a separate screen. COMPAF cannot compute the rates changing from 1% back to 1/1% on a single screen.
