Background
2.3.31.1.1 (07-17-2023) Background The Centralized Authorization File (CAF) is a computerized system of records which houses authorization information from both powers of attorney and tax information authorizations. The CAF system contains several types of records, among them taxpayer and representatives records, tax modules, and authorizations.: Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, Form 706, United Sates Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return, Oral Disclosure Consent (ODC), a non-written tax information authorization, or Third Party Designee (also known as Check-box authority). These authorizations may be submitted through paper submission via fax or mail, electronically via the TaxPro application, or verbally via taxpayer contact directly with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for oral authorizations. Different types of authorization authority are: Representative - An individual the taxpayer has authorized to represent the taxpayer before the IRS. Appointee - An individual person or business entity the taxpayer appoints to receive and inspect confidential tax return information verbally or in writing for the type of tax and years or periods specified by the taxpayer. Third Party Designee - An individual person that has been designated to receive and inspect confidential tax return information via telephone or Check-box election on a tax return. The CAF database also contains: Taxpayer name, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), name control, and signature date Third Party name, address, telephone number, fax number, name control, CAF number, and status information Type of tax i.e., (MFT)(s) and tax period(s) Employee Plan number, if applicable Source Document Locator Number (SDLN) Authorization type, such as Form number Representation designation level(s), such as Attorney, CPA, or Enrolled Agent. Notice Indicator - tells whether the third party will receive a "CAF Copy" of the Taxpayer Notice or not. Authority granted by taxpayer(s) to the representative(s), i.e., disclosure to third parties, substitute/add representatives, and/or sign return
Authority
2.3.31.1.2 (07-17-2023) Authority The CAF Inquiry command codes were developed as the principle means for researching the information contained on Forms 2848, 8821, and 706 on the CAF Database.
Responsibilities
2.3.31.1.3 (07-17-2023) Responsibilities Applications Development is responsible for the maintenance of Command Codes CFINK , RPINK, KAFFQ and KAFTQ. The CAF Tax Analyst is responsible for policies and procedures surrounding data entry and review. The CAF Unit Team Manager/Lead is responsible for performance monitoring and ensuring employees have the tools to perform their duties. The CAF Unit Employees are responsible for insuring the information contained on Forms 2848, 8821, and 706 is correctly added to the CAF database. Certain actions may cause unpostable conditions that will need corrective actions taken.
Program Management and Review
2.3.31.1.4 (07-17-2023) Program Management and Review The CAF database was originally a hierarchical database on the UNISYS mainframe. In 2002 it was redesigned as a relational database and brought over to the IBM mainframe. The CAF database is accessed through embedded SQL statements within the code. This code includes COBOL Batch runs, CICS Command Codes, and Stored Procedures. The CAF command codes validate the user input and provide either a "Request Completed" message or an error message, prompting the user to correct the information.
Program Controls
2.3.31.1.5 (07-17-2023) Program Controls Access to the CAF Database by these inquiry command codes is governed by SACS.
Terms
2.3.31.1.6 (07-17-2023) Terms Command Code Definitions: CFINK and RPINK are IDRS command codes used to query the contents of the CAF database. Preceding Command Codes are SUMRY, TXMOD. To research Accounts on the IDRS use CC SUMRY. TXMOD is then used to select the Taxpayer Account information. CFINK and RPINK and their various different formats are then entered to access several different screen displays of data.
Acronyms
2.3.31.1.7 (07-17-2023) Acronyms The table lists commonly used acronyms and their definitions: Word or acronym: Meaning: Example of use: ADDR Address Your address is in Detroit, Michigan ADD3P CAF CC that adds a third party to the database Using ADD3P will add a third party to the CAF database ATHLVL Authorization level of a third party used on forms 2848 or 706 The authorization level of this third party indicates she filed as an attorney. AUTH Authorization level of a third party used on forms 2848 or 706 On Form 706 there are only 3 authorization levels used, Attorney, CPA or Enrolled Agent. BMF Business Master File The BMF data can be accessed on-line. CAF Centralized Authorization File The CAF database was not current. cc/CC Command Code The use of cc has sped up processing time. CD Code The zip-code was not filled in on the document. CFINK(x) CAF CC that queries the database (The x can be a definer or a space depending on the version of the CC desired.) The CFINK cc is used to view what data exists on the CAF database. CNTY County (used in the foreign address data) The county name was Wayne for Detroit. CONF FRAUD a CAF number status meaning confirmed fraud The Tax Examiner changed the status to "confirmed fraud" since her manager told her to. DB2 The type of database CAF exists on. The CAF database is a IBM DB2 one. EIN Employer Identification Number The business Taxpayer identifier is called an EIN. EPMF Employee Plan Master File EPMF contains various Employer Plans, used for their employees. EXT Extension number used with a telephone number. The telephone number was 123-45-6789, with an ext of 123. FRM3P CAF CC that paints the ADD3P screen to add a third party to the database The third party I have on this form does not appear in my queries of CAF, so I will enter FRM3P to add this one. ID Identification My SSN is an identification number. IDRS Integrated Data Retrieval System IDRS only contains accounts being worked on, not all accounts the IRS maintains. IMF Individual Master File The IMF is considered a file of all Individual Taxpayers. INIT Initial, used in middle name. In the name John Q Public the initial Q means the first letter of this man's middle name. KAFAD(M or T) CAF CC that adds an Authorization (from one form) to the database The authorization was added to the database with KAFAD. KAFFRQ CAF CC, used by FOIA, to requests third party authorizations a FOIA request for information meant the user had to enter KAFFRQ. KAFMC CAF CC used to resolve CAF number merge conflicts The CAF unit Lead Tax Examiner needed to resolve a typo entered on a CAF database, she used KAFMC. KAFRM(x) CAF CC used to paint a update screen (The x can be a space to paint KAFAD, or a value to paint several update CC screens) The prerequisite cc was KAFRM. KAFTQ CAF CC, used by TIGTA, to requests third party authorizations TIGTA needed to see all clients of a third party, so KAFTQ will generate their report. L/B/E License or Bar or Enrollment number used by attorneys, CPAs, Enrolled agents/actuaries/retirement plan agents The L/B/E number on the Form 2848 was on clear. LVL Level, used in the term Authorization Level The authorization level must appear on Form 2848. MFT Master File Tax (code) The Taxpayer used Form 1040 which is MFT-30. MF TRANS Master File Transaction By entering an Authorization onto the database often causes a MF Transaction being sent to the Master Files. MOD/UNM Modified or Unmodified for an indicator on Form 2848 The Unmodified Form 2848 had no text from the Taxpayer on a specific matter. N/C Name Control The name control is usually the first 4 characters of the Taxpayer's (IMF) last name. NAP National Account Profile We check the NAP for every Taxpayer. NMF Non-Master File I am not sure what is maintained on the NMF. NO Number This number is long. NUM Number The CAF number is 9-digits.

The report/plan number was for a health plan for employees. PND REVIEW A CAF number status meaning pending review Criminal Investagators are looking at this CAF number for miss-use, we entered a "P" in status, which means Pending Review. POA Power of Attorney The POA was signed by the Taxpayer. PREREQ Prerequisite The prerequisite for CFINK in this case was INOLE. PROV Province, a component of a foreign address. The third party lived in Ontario, which is a province of Canada. PTIN a 9-alpha-numeric assigned to a Return Preparer by the IRS. Not all third parties have a PTIN. R/W Revoke or Withdrawal, used in CAF processing to indicate who wanted the deleting of an Authorization. This indicator Revoke/Withdraw contained a X which means the Taxpayer contacted us to revoke this third party authorization. RCT Receipts of a third party. Will define what indicators were on a Form 2848/8821/706 The third party receipts indicated he can receive Taxpayer Notices. REP Representative or third party. The representative or third party must always have a CAF number. REPN Representative number or CAF number A CAF number is usually given to individuals, but sometimes a business obtains them also. REPORT PLAN NUMBER Uniquely identifies a particular employee pension plan (EPMF) or an indication of a report number (BMF). Part of the identifier for a Taxpayer. The report/plan number is part the way the CAF database stores Taxpayer information so we can match MF processing. RN/C Representative name control The third party 's full name was Jane Doe, so her rn/c was DOEx, where x is a space. RPINK CAF CC that queries the database for a specific third party using the name (and optional other identifying components) RPINK is used to research existing third parties on the database. SDLN Source Document Locator Number The SDLN is useful in the paper world to pull a CAF document from the Federal Records Center. TAXPRD Tax Period The tax period was 201912 TC Transaction Code CAF creates the Transaction Code = 960. TIA Tax Information Authorization A Form 8821 title name is TIA.

UNAVAIL Unavailable The CAF database is unavailable until noon today. UNDEL Undeliverable, as in being mailable or not. This representative's copy of the Notice was sent back to the campus due to having an undeliverable address. Unpostable A transaction which failed to match a Master File Account for various reasons. Usually because a business rule was not followed, but can be a programming issue also. The TC960 did not post to IMF, according to the IMFOL display, so it is considered an UNPOSTABLE. UPNCF CAF CC that modifies a CAF number. UPNCF is used to change the CAF number to some other unused value. UPRCF CAF CC that modifies third party data. The UPRCF was used to change the third party address. UPTCF CAF CC that modifies Taxpayer data. The Taxpayer changed her name so UPTCF was entered to change the Taxpayer name on the database.

Centralized Authorization File Inquiry Command Codes CFINK and RPINK — General Description
2.3.31.2 (01-01-2011) Centralized Authorization File Inquiry Command Codes CFINK and RPINK — General Description The Centralized Authorization File (CAF) contains information regarding authorizations that taxpayers have given third parties ("representatives, or reps" /"appointees" ) for various tax matters within their accounts. This information is used to determine whether an individual claiming to be a taxpayer's rep/appointee is, in fact, authorized to represent or act on the taxpayer's behalf, or to receive the information she/he requests. It can also be used to direct refunds and/or copies of notices and correspondence to third parties when authorized. The command codes (CCs) available for research are: CC CFINK — See IRM 2.3.31.3 Command Code CFINK — Description and Use, and CC RPINK — See IRM 2.3.31.4 Command Code RPINK — Description and Use.
Command Code CFINK — Description and Use
2.3.31.3 (01-01-2009) Command Code CFINK — Description and Use This command code is used to research the CAF in any of several ways: When CC CFINK is input with taxpayer information [i.e. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), File Source, and TIN Type] only, a list of modules present for the taxpayer will be displayed. When CC CFINK is input with third party information (i.e. CAF Number, File Source, and TIN Type) only, all information (e.g. Name and Address) present on the CAF for that third party will be displayed. When CC CFINK is input with taxpayer information and module information [i.e. Master File Tax Code (MFT), Tax Period, and Plan Number], all authorizations present on the CAF for that module will be displayed. When CC CFINK is input with taxpayer information, module information, and third party information , the specific details of the authorization will be displayed. Note: After the conversion of CAF from UNISYS to IBM in 2003, some signature dates are reflected as 01-01-0001. This was a default value placed in some records during the conversion process because no date was available. If a complete match on the taxpayer, module, and third party is not made, appropriate error messages will be displayed. See IRM 2.3.31.3.1 below. IRM 2.4 Section 7 contains a complete description of the command codes, used by the CAF Units only, for updates: KAFRM, KAFAD, UPTCF, UPRCF, UPNCF, FRM3P, ADD3P and KAFMC.

CFINK — Subsequent Command Code Usage
2.3.31.3.2 (01-01-2009) CFINK — Subsequent Command Code Usage Command Code CFINK is a prerequisite for command code KAFRM, which requests the formats of the CAF input command codes, KAFAD, UPTCF, UPRCF, and UPNCF. Command Code CFINK input with the TIN and File Source; MFT and tax period (and plan in some instances); and CAF Number with File Source, can be followed by a KAFRM. If the taxpayer is not on the database, KAFRM will bring back a KAFADT format, allowing for input of a taxpayer and his/her authorization information. If the taxpayer already exists on the database, KAFRM will bring back a KAFADM format, allowing for input of the taxpayer's authorization information. Command Code CFINK input with the TIN and File Source may only be followed by a KAFRMT, provided a record for the Taxpayer is found on the CAF. This will bring back UPTCF format, allowing for update of taxpayer information. Command Code CFINK input with the CAF Number and File Source may be followed by a KAFRMR, provided a record for the third party is found on the CAF. This will bring back UPRCF format, allowing for update of third party information. CFINK input with the CAF Number and File Source may also be followed by a KAFRMN, provided a record for the third party is found on the CAF. This will bring back UPNCF format, allowing a CAF number merge.

Command Code RPINK — Description and Use
2.3.31.4 (01-01-2005) Command Code RPINK — Description and Use This command code is used to research a third party on CAF in various ways, depending on the number of search keys given. IRM 2.3.31.4.1 RPINK Search Keys, below for explanation of search keys.
RPINK — Search Keys
2.3.31.4.1 (01-01-2010) RPINK — Search Keys The only required search key for CC RPINK is: Business-name or Third Party Last Name (up to ten characters). This must be input exactly as it was entered on the database or there will be no match. If there are ten or more characters in the last name, all ten must be entered. Caution: Unless the business name (or last name) itself is less than ten characters in length, RPINK will not work with less than ten. Caution: There are third party names on the CAF that were input incorrectly. After conversion to IBM, taxpayer and (non-business) third party name components are input in separate fields, virtually eliminating the potential for this problem. But you need to be mindful of the pre-existing situation when doing your research. Also - if you enter any of the 2nd line optional fields - first 3 digits of zip code, 4th & 5th digits of zip code, 1st 4 characters of street address - the search will include these criteria in sequence. If there is a failure to match on any criterion, you will get a message indicating that no record was found. To ensure you've covered all bases, it would be advisable to redo the RPINK with fewer criteria to ensure the third party is not on the database, possibly with some erroneous information. Caution: There are also some third parties - that are businesses - that were incorrectly loaded during the database conversion. As a result, RPINK won't always find the third party you expect to find. Examples: SMITH & SMITH might be found by one - or the other - of RPINK SMITH & S or RPINK SMITH,SMITH depending on how it was loaded (or entered). WILSON AND DUNLAP might be located by one - or the other - of RPINK WILSON AND or RPINK DUNLAP, WILSON depending on how it was loaded (or entered). To ensure you've covered all bases, it would be advisable to RPINK both versions. If you find the name you want but it's entered incorrectly, make corrections via KAFRMR/UPRCF and proceed. For example, if you find SMITH & SMITH was entered as SMITH (first name) AND (middle name) SMITH (last name), enter SMITH & SMITH on the full name field and clear out the first, middle, and last names. Then proceed. Optional search keys, in order, for CC RPINK are: Rep First Name (up to 10 characters) Note: Since conversion to the IBM, you may now enter any number of characters, up to ten (formerly only first initial worked). 1st three digits of the ZIP code 4th & 5th digits of the ZIP code 1st four characters of the street address Note: In the past, RPINK results may not have been sorted by first name within last name. You may have seen SMITH JOE followed by SMITH JACK followed by SMITH JERRY on the screen. Since conversion to DB2, RPINK results are sorted by first name within last name. Researching multiple screens of RPINK results should be quicker.
