Background
2.4.35.1.1 (01-01-2024) Background Statutory Notices of Deficiency (STN) system provides communications to taxpayers concerning the taxpayer's deficiency and/or debts or obligations to the government. The system prints several types of documents for mailing to taxpayers through batch programs. These include: A 90-day or 150-day deficiency notice informs the taxpayer that he/she owes income tax and provides instructions on how the taxpayer can contest the deficiency in court. A waiver in the mailing package for the taxpayer to sign, if he/she agrees with the assessment. An acknowledgement letter informing the taxpayer that his/her response has been received, is being reviewed, and that the IRS will issue a reply within 30 days. An interim letter as an apology for not being able to review the taxpayer's response, and a promise to review it within the next 30 days. A no-change letter as an apology for not being able to review the taxpayer's response during the interim letter period, and a promise to review it within the next 30 days.
Authority
2.4.35.1.2 (01-01-2024) Authority Command Code STN90 was developed as the principal means for manual generation of a 90-day or 150-day deficiency notice and waiver.
Roles and Responsibilities
2.4.35.1.3 (01-01-2024) Roles and Responsibilities STN Project Lead is responsible for: Review and implementation of WRs that affect STN. Updating the contents of this IRM.
Program Management and Review
2.4.35.1.4 (01-01-2024) Program Management and Review Usage restricted to IMF (valid and invalid SSN) and BMF accounts. If the taxpayers (filing jointly) live at the same address, both taxpayers will receive an individually addressed certified mail package containing a copy of the deficiency and waiver notice. A duplicate Statutory Notice of Deficiency is issued to the ex-spouse. The NAP file stores the ex-spouse's address. The CAF file is used to retrieve the representative's name and address.
Program Controls
2.4.35.1.5 (01-01-2024) Program Controls Access to this program is governed by SACS.

General Information for Command Code STN90
2.4.35.2 (01-01-2010) General Information for Command Code STN90 The use of Command Code STN90 will allow generation of the Statutory Notice of Deficiency for the above situations, as well as reissue a notice with a corrected address without manually typing it or waiting for an address change to post to the TIF. STN90N will update an open control base, add a TC494 to a tax module indicating that a statutory notice has been issued or, conversely, update or close an open control base. STN90C will establish a closed base and append a TC495 indicating a deficiency has been resolved. There are several general constraints which should be considered before using CC STN90: If the module to which the STN90 is being input contains an unreversed TC420/424 or TC922, with a Process Code in the range 70–79 for Tax Periods 198512 and prior, range 30–39 for Tax Periods 198601 through 198712, and range 30–33, 55–60 and 75–77 for Tax Periods 198801 and later, an error message will be displayed on the terminal screen. Note: If a TC 922 with the above Process Code range is present, and the input category code is "URPS" , " IRP–2" , or "URP–2" a Statutory Notice of Deficiency will be issued but no TC 494 will be generated. in either of the above cases, follow procedures outlined in IRM 3(34)(140) ONE TIME OPERATIONS. CC STN90 is restricted to IMF (valid and invalid SSN) and BMF accounts. The IRC Code value which is generated on a notice depends on the numeric value of the Penalty Type Code entered on the STN90 screen. See Exhibit 2.4.35–2 for the range of values.
Ex-Spouse Conditions for Command Code STN90
2.4.35.2.1 (01-01-2006) Ex-Spouse Conditions for Command Code STN90 A spouse who is divorced or separated (ex-spouse) and living at another address is entitled to receive a copy of the notice/waiver that matches the one sent to the other spouse (primary taxpayer). This is most often accomplished when the information for the primary taxpayer is input through Command Code STN90. In STN90, it is determined whether there is a possibility of a separation or divorce. If the spouse SSN of the tax period of liability differs from the spouse SSN of the current tax period. If the filing status code of the tax period of liability signified joint liability but the current tax period's filing status code does not. In either of the above cases, STN90 sets an indicator and sends it to STN01 which prints the notices/waivers for taxpayers. Once an ex-spouse condition is determined, the NAP file will be accessed in an attempt to find the current address of the ex-spouse as shown below: IF EX–SPOUSE CURRENT ADDRESS THEN Not Found on NAP File Format the Manual Research Report with the Primary taxpayer's Notice/ Waiver information and send notice to primary and his/her representative(s). Found through other research Retrieve Primary spouse information from Manual Research Report and re-enter the data along with ex-spouse's current address via CCSTN90. (See Item #4) Consequently, the Ex- spouse will receive a copy of the same notice already sent to primary. When re-entering information for the ex-spouse, the MAILING-DATE field on the STN90 "N" screen is required. The MFT must be "30" (IMF). The name and the address of the primary taxpayer will appear on the screen. Type in the name line as it appears on the Manual Research report. This name line must match what was sent to the primary spouse. The address must be the current address of the ex-spouse; it must not match the address of the primary spouse. The remaining notice/waiver fields can be taken from the Manual Research report.
Terminal Input Command Code STN90
2.4.35.3 (01-01-2000) Terminal Input Command Code STN90 In order for a user to obtain a REQUEST COMPLETED with CC STN90, the following steps are required: valid input of CC TXMOD as a prerequisite for each STN90 input request standard validity checks for all inputs valid STN90 category codes

2.4.35.3.1 (01-01-2000) Valid Input Request for Command Code STN90 a valid input of CC TXMOD must precede each initial STN90F and STN90C input request. CC STN90 with definer"F" or "C" and no other information on the screen will generate a general input format with completed name and address information and information from the previous TXMOD to facilitate entry of all other CC STN90 elements. a valid follow-up input of CC STN90 with definer "N" uses the complete name and address information and TC 494 input fields to generate a Statutory Notice of Deficiency, append a TC 494 and update an existing open control base. a valid follow-up input of CC STN90 with definer "D" uses completed name and address information and information from the previous TXMOD to append a TC 495 and update an existing open control base.
Standard Validity Checks of Terminal Input for Command Code STN90
2.4.35.3.2 (01-01-2000) Standard Validity Checks of Terminal Input for Command Code STN90 Upon terminal input for CC STN90, all inputs must pass strict validity checks.
