Background
2.4.7.1.1 (02-13-2025) 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 include 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
2.4.7.1.2 (02-13-2025) Authority The CAF Update command codes were developed as the principle means for entering and maintaining the information contained on Forms 2848, 8821, and 706 on the CAF Database.
Responsibilities
2.4.7.1.3 (02-13-2025) Responsibilities Applications Development is responsible for the maintenance of Command Codes KAFRM, KAFAD, UPTCF, UPRCF, UPNCF, FRM3P, ADD3P, and KAFMC. 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 ensuring 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
2.4.7.1.4 (02-13-2025) 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
2.4.7.1.5 (02-13-2025) Program Controls Access to the CAF Database by these update command codes is governed by SACS.
Terms
2.4.7.1.6 (02-13-2025) 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. The Inquiry command codes are prerequisites for the CAF update command codes.
Acronyms
2.4.7.1.7 (02-13-2025) 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.

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.

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.

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—General Overview
2.4.7.2 (01-01-2013) Centralized Authorization File—General Overview The Centralized Authorization File (CAF) contains information regarding authorizations that taxpayers have given to third parties. These may be authorizations to represent the taxpayer in certain situations, to receive information (written and/or oral) regarding the taxpayer's account. The names and addresses for the authorized third parties (or reps) are on the database. The information on the CAF is used to determine whether a person claiming to be a taxpayer's representative is, in fact, authorized to receive taxpayer information or to act on the taxpayer's behalf. It is also used to address refunds (There are some older authorizations that exist with the Refund Indicators set. These authorizations are considered valid and will be allowed to exist until they expire.) and/or copies of notices to a third party, if such authorization has been granted by the taxpayer. Authorizations are recorded on the CAF by tax module. If an authorization applies to more than one module (defined as unique by Tax Period, Master File Tax Code (MFT) and, [for Employee Plans Master File (EPMF) and some Business Master File (BMF)] Plan Number), it will be input for each module to which it applies. Transactions are generated to the appropriate master file, based on the information input. Transaction code (TC) 960 is generated to Master File when authorization information is established or updated. TC 961 is generated to Master File when all authorizations for a module have been deleted. Formerly TC 962 was generated when there was a change to the CAF code sent to Master File, but that transaction code is obsolete as of January 2010. TC 960 and TC 961 will act more like "on/off" switches. CAF has incorporated the use of "Finalist" , a software package for perfecting domestic (US) addresses. Additional messages related to this process may now appear when using ADD3P or UPRCF.
CAF Command Codes for Update
2.4.7.3 (01-01-2010) CAF Command Codes for Update KAFRMv (v = definer) — used to request the format for CCs KAFAD, UPTCF, UPRCF, or UPNCF. KAFRM[[slashb]] gives the user KAFADT or KAFADM, depending upon the information found on the CAF via CC CFINK. KAFRMT gives the user the UPTCF format. KAFRMR gives the user the UPRCF format. KAFRMN gives the user the UPNCF format. KAFAD is used to add to, or modify, authorization information on the CAF files, depending on the definer. KAFADT— used when the third party is already present on the CAF files, but the taxpayer is not. Taxpayer information and appropriate authorizations are input. KAFADM— used when both the taxpayer and the third party are already present on the CAF files. An authorization may be added, deleted, or revoked (replaced). UPTCF, UPRCF, UPNCF — used to modify either taxpayer or third party data, depending on the definer. UPTCF (UPTCF) — used to update the taxpayer information. UPRCF (UPRCF) — used to modify the third party information. UPNCF (UPNCF) — used to merge two CAF numbers. FRM3P—used to request the format for CC ADD3P. ADD3P— used to establish a new third party on the CAF and assign a CAF number. This should only be done after doing proper research via CC RPINK. KAFMC—used to resolve CAF Number batch merge conflicts. This is a new screen as of July 2009.
