# General Information

3.11.23.2 (01-01-2026) General Information This subsection contains procedures for the coding and editing of certain Excise Tax Returns. The returns to be processed based on the instructions in this chapter are: Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return Form 730, Monthly Tax Return for Wagers Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, and Form 2290(SP), Declaración del Impuesto sobre el Uso de Vehículos Pesados en las Carreteras, (Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return (Spanish Version)) Block Control Document - Each block of documents processed under the ISRP system is required to have a Block Control Document attached for control and identification purposes. If blocks, or unblocked documents which should have been blocked, are received without a Block Control Document, return the block to the originating area (through Accounting) for correction. These returns can be identified by the Remittance Processing System (RPS) imprinted Document Locator Numbers (DLN) and are considered non-remittance returns since the payments have been posted to the Business Master File (BMF) to provide "Fact of Filing" . The Block Control Documents are: Form 813, Document Register - Used with remittance documents. Form 1332, Block and Selection Record - Used for non-remittance documents. If a numbered remittance document(s) is in a numbered non-remittance block controlled by Form 1332, the document must be "U" coded (Action Code 611 on Form 720) and must be reblocked for account maintenance. If every document in a non-remittance block has a remittance attached, return the block to Receipt and Control for reblocking. Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control - Used for reinput control of a document under its original DLN. If a single document is being reinput, the Form 3893 will be attached to the face of the document. If more than one document from the same original block is being reinput, the Form 3893 will be attached to the first document in the reinput block. See Figure 3.11.23-1, Form 730 and Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control.

TAS offers free help to taxpayers when a tax problem is causing a financial difficulty, when they've tried and been unable to resolve their issue with the IRS, or when they believe an IRS system, process, or procedure just isn't working as it should. TAS strives to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. TAS uses Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR), to initiate the OAR process of referring a case to the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, to affect the resolution of the taxpayer's problem. For more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, Taxpayer Advocate Service, Taxpayer Advocate Case Procedures, Advocating With Operations Assistance Requests (OARs).

Note: The elements listed in paragraph (6) above must be included on all amended returns. If the taxpayer indicated the return is an amended return but did not complete an amended return checkbox, it is not necessary for the box to be checked. If a Form 2290 is filed because of the following, edit CCC "G" : If the vehicle(s) is (are) later driven over the mileage limitation (e.g., 5,000/7,500) during the tax period, the vehicle is taxable for the entire tax period and the taxpayer must file Form 2290 by the end of the month following the month in which the mileage limitation is exceeded. This return must be "G" coded since a return was previously filed for the non-taxable status. If the taxpayer is filing a second Form 2290 just to correct the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Do not return Schedule 1. Note: When the taxpayer has filed an amended Form 2290 and requests that the Schedule 1 be returned on an expedited basis (e.g., "as soon as possible" , "ASAP" , "need Schedule 1 to get tags" , etc.), fax the amended Form 2290 with the Schedule 1 requested to the Centralized Specialty Tax Operation (CTSO) at (855) 386-5124.

# Document Locator Number

3.11.23.2.12 (01-01-2026) Document Locator Number The document locator number (DLN) is the basic identification number assigned to each document processed in the ISRP System. This number is assigned when the document is blocked and brought under Accounting Control. It will be used to locate the document as long as it (or a substitute document) remains in the files, unless it becomes the subject of subsequent action. See Figure 3.11.23-2, How to Determine DLN. Figure 3.11.23-2 A display of the DLN broken down into File Location Code, Tax Class, Document Code, Julian Date, Block Number, Serial Number, and Year Digit.The page is titled Document Locator Number.There are seven boxes underneath the title.The first box shows 00 with a line down to a box titled File Location Code, Digits 1 & 2.The second box shows 4 with a line down to a box titled Tax Class, Digit 3.The third box shows 20 with a line down to a box titled Document Code, Digits 4 & 5.The fourth box shows 019 with a line down to a box titled The Julian Date, Digits 6, 7 & 8.The fifth box shows 000 with a line down to a box titled Block Number, Digits 9, 10 & 11.The sixth box shows 00 with a line down to a box titled Serial Number, Digits 12 & 13.The seventh box shows X with a line down to a box titled Year Digit, Digit 14.There is an arrow underneath the Tax Class box with a box titled Tax Class 1 - 941, 943, 945; 2 - 1040,1041, 1065; 3 - 1120; 4 - 720, 11-C, 2290, 730; 5 - 706, 709; 7 - CT-1; 8 - 940; 9 - Mixed.There is an arrow underneath the Document Code box to a box titled Document Code with a definition of document codes with a few examples. There is a paragraph at the bottom of the page discussing the first two digits of the DLN consisting of the Filing Location Code. Please click here for the text description of the image. The Parts of the DLN are as follows: Description: Part 1 File Locator - The location where the tax return was filed. Example: - 00 - (In the 1st and 2nd position of the DLN). Part 2 Tax Class - Identifies the type of return or document. Example: - 4 - (In the 3rd position of the DLN). Tax Class 4 represents Excise Tax (Business Master File). Part 3 Document Code - A specific type of return or document within a tax class. Example: - 20 - (In the 4th and 5th position) Doc Code 20 is for Form 720. Part 4 Julian Date - The day of the year the return or document is numbered (001 through 365). Example: The Julian Date, - 019 - represents the Calendar Date of January 19 because it is the 19th day of the year (In the 6th, 7th, and 8th position of the DLN). Part 5 Block Number - The block number specifically identifies each block of numbered documents. Example: Example: - 000 - (In the 9th, 10th, and 11th position of the DLN). This block, 000, shows the blocking series for non-remittance documents. Part 6 Serial Number - The sequence of a document within a block. Example: - 00 - (In the 12th and 13th position of the DLN). This serial number, 00, shows it is the first document of the block. Part 7 Year - The year the document is being processed. This digit is assigned later on in the processing cycle (14th position). Example: - 5 - A return filed in 2025 will have processing year digit "5" . For Form 3893 and Form 13596, this is the year digit that the DLN was originally assigned. On numbered blocks, compare the first return in the block to Form 813, Document Register, or Form 1332, Block and Selection Record. If the documents have not been blocked, all documents in a block or a batch must be of the same type. The type of document is determined by a specific Tax Class and Document Code. The first eleven digits of the DLN of each document in a block must be the same as the corresponding digits stamped on the face of the Form 813 or Form 1332. Note: If there is a difference, give the block to the supervisor to reassociate the documents with the correct block control document. It is necessary to check only the DLN of the first document in a block to make the above comparisons of DLNs. A document may have two different DLNs stamped on it because of reblocking. If this happens, circle the Incorrect DLN. The correct DLN can be determined from Form 813, or Form 1332.

# Blocking Returns and Documents

3.11.23.2.13 (01-01-2016) Blocking Returns and Documents All returns and documents to be input to the ISRP System are assembled into blocks of 100 documents or less before being numbered. A separate control is put on each block. A document must not be taken out of a numbered block during the code and edit process. However, a document can be withdrawn from a batch before it is numbered. A document may be taken out of a batch when the return is unprocessable because of reasons specified in IRM 3.11.23.8, Unprocessable Returns.

# Document Count

3.11.23.2.14 (01-01-2016) Document Count The total number of returns in a numbered block is usually shown on the Form 813, Document Register, or Form 1332, Block and Selection Record, by a circled number for a partial block or blank for a full block of 100. If the block is a partial and the number is not shown then take the following actions: Form 813 - circle one number higher than the last sequence number on the form Form 1332 - circle one number higher than the last DLN in the block Note: Do not circle the total number of documents for an unnumbered block.

# Edit Marks

3.11.23.3 (01-01-2026) Edit Marks Edit marks are edited on the return for transcription to the Automatic Data Processing (ADP) System through the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) system. Enter edit marks in brown, red, orange, purple, or green pencil or pen. Only edit items on the return that are for transcription except where specific instructions require editing of a non-transcribed item. Leave lines blank if the entry would be a zero amount unless otherwise instructed. Do not obliterate, alter, or erase the original entry on a return when deleting or correcting an entry. Always exercise care to ensure that the original entry remains legible. Perfected entries provide a legible "edit trail" for anyone who may work with the return later. Do not re-edit edit marks entered by other areas, such as Collections, Entity or Accounts Management, except to place the marks in the correct area or to perfect for legibility. If Remittance Processing System (RPS) or the Lockbox function has edited data that is obviously incorrect, circle the incorrect information and re-edit correctly. Exception: Photocopied Returns. Photocopied Returns - Re-edit or underline any valid, black edit marks. See IRM 3.11.23.8.3.3, Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) Returns, and IRM 3.11.23.23, Re-Entry Document Procedures. For a description of specific edit marks, see the table below: Edit Mark: Description: "X" The "X" is used to delete tax data or to show that an item is not to be transcribed. For example, if deleting an original taxpayer entry, edit an "X" to the left of the entry to delete. Edit the correct entry to the left or above the "X" . "/" A "/" indicates do not transcribe a form or schedule. "//$" The "//$" is used in the entity area to identify the beginning and ending of a foreign country code. For example, "/EI/$" is edited for "Ireland" or "/GM/$" is edited for "Germany" . "c/o" or "%" Indicates an "in-care-of" name for transcription. Circle Indicates do not transcribe an entry. Also, deletes entity data or a Received Date. Note: If the taxpayer circles an entry, edit the entry. Underline Identifies an entry for transcription (e.g., Name Control, Tax Period). Arrow Indicates the correct placement of a misplaced entry. Use an arrow if the misplaced item is close to the correct line and there is no question where the entry belongs. Note: Use a double arrow to identify the same figure for transcription in two different places (along with any required transcription data between the two arrows). Check Mark Indicates that an entry was manually math verified and is correct. Bracket/Parenthesis Indicates a negative numerical amount. Note: Code and Edit (C&E) is not required to bracket negative amounts when brackets are preprinted on the form or schedule or when the taxpayer clearly indicates a negative amount with brackets "()" or a"-" sign. Bracket negative amounts when editing negative entries on transcription lines (e.g., computing and entering a line entry, entering a missing line entry) . Vertical Line or Decimal Point Indicates the separation of dollars and cents if no distinction has been made by the taxpayer. Zero, Dash, None, N/A, etc., "Zero" , "dash" , "none" , N/A, etc., are valid entries except when specific instructions require editing of an entry. Exception: Form 720 - See IRM 3.11.23.16.8, Form 720, Part III, Line 3 - Total Tax. Rocker Indicates the amount paid when drawn under a remittance amount.

# Transcription Lines

3.11.23.4 (01-01-2016) Transcription Lines Transcription lines (T-lines) are located on various IRS forms and schedules. T-line entries must be entered by the tax examiner when amounts are available (if not already entered by the taxpayer/tax preparer), but amounts do not need to be computed unless otherwise instructed. Attachments must be used to perfect T-lines. T-line entries will be picked up by the ISRP. T-lines for specific forms and schedules are explained in this manual. When necessary to compute T-lines, use tax form and instructions unless otherwise instructed. If an entry on a T-line must be supported by another form or schedule, and an attachment is present with the necessary information, a "dummy" form or schedule may be prepared by entering the T-line data to a blank form or schedule.

# ♦ Action Codes ♦

3.11.23.5 (01-01-2026) ♦ Action Codes ♦ Action Codes are used to indicate whether correspondence, research, or some other action is needed. The Action Code sets the suspense period for the return and places the return in the workable or unworkable suspense inventory. See Exhibit 3.11.23-9, Action Codes. When necessary, assign a three-digit Action Code. Edit the Action Code in the bottom left margin of the return. See Figure 3.11.23-3, Form 720 and Placement of Action Code. Figure 3.11.23-3 A picture of Form 720 displaying the placement of an Action Code in the lower left-hand corner.The picture is a folded Form 720 that shows the top and bottom of the page.The name Alder Telephone Service is shown with Alde underlined in red for the name control.The quarter ending date is Sept. 26.The street address is 3512 Cypress Ln.The city, state and zip is Kansas City, KS 66110.225 is written in red in the lower left corner. Please click here for the text description of the image. Note: Action codes are valid on the Form 720 and Form 2290 series. Form 11-C and Form 730 are still processed through a manual correction system. Use Computer Condition Code "U" on these returns when action such as correspondence is needed. Assign Action Codes in the following priority order: Action Code 310 (Statute Control) Action Code 320 (Entity Control) Action Code 4XX Action Code 6XX Action Code 3XX Action Code 2XX (Correspondence) Exception: Use Action Codes 211, 215, 225, or 226 before Action Codes 341 and 480 to ensure the return is complete before a manual refund is issued or the document being placed in early-filed suspense. Use the following table if more than one Action Code is needed: If Then Action Codes include 211, 215, 225 or 226 and Action Code 341, Edit the Action Code 211, 215, 225 or 226. Edit Action Code 341 on the Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip. Action Codes have the same priority, Edit the Action Code with the shorter suspense period. Edit the second Action Code on the Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip. See Exhibit 3.11.23-9, Action Codes, for suspense periods. Action Codes have different priorities, Edit the Action Code with the higher priority. Exception: Use Action Code 211, 215, 225 or 226 before Action Code 341 to ensure the return is complete before a manual refund is issued. Edit the second Action Code on the Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip. Edit the following Action Codes when a return cannot be perfected from the information present: Action Code: Description: 211 - "First Correspondence" (Missing Information and/or Signature (Refund Returns) or 215 - "First International Correspondence" Missing Information and/or Signature (Refund Returns) Return is illegible, incomplete or contradictory and therefore unprocessable. Unsigned returns The taxpayer notates on the return or attachment that they are reporting tax for more than one Tax Period or for more than one type of tax 225 - Correspondence (Signature Only- Balance Due/Zero Balance/Credit Elect Returns) Unsigned return (only issue for correspondence) 226 - International Correspondence (Signature Only - Balance Due/Zero Balance/Credit Elect Returns) Unsigned return (only issue for correspondence) 430 - Notice 2020-48 or Notice 2020-55 Any Forms 720 that have "Notice 2020-48" or "Notice 2020-55" written in the top-center margin of the return will be edited with AC 430 in the bottom-left margin. 450 - Tax Period Is Different Than Lockbox When tax period differs from Lockbox tax period 480 - Early Filed Suspense The return is an early filed current year return 610 - Renumbered Non-Remittance or 611 - Renumbered with Remittance A return is mis-blocked (e.g., Form 720 found in a Form 2290 batch of work) 640 - Void To delete the assigned DLN on the return (e.g., Re-Entry Returns) 650 - International Excise International return Note: An Army Post Office/Diplomatic Post Office/Fleet Post Office (APO/DPO/FPO) address is not considered foreign.

# ♦ IRS Employee Contacts ♦

3.11.23.8.3.5 (01-01-2024) ♦ IRS Employee Contacts ♦ The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98) Section 3705(a), gives identification requirements for all IRS employees working tax-related matters. All IRS employees who communicate by telephone, face-to-face, or any other method of correspondence with taxpayers or their personal representatives on tax-related matters must give (at a minimum) the following information: Telephone Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name and badge identification (ID Card) number. Toll-free employees may also give their location for identification purposes. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information. Face to Face Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), give as appropriate during the conversation, their last name and badge identification (ID Card) number. Correspondence (sent to the taxpayer and authorized representatives) - A telephone number that taxpayers can call for answers to questions. In addition, manually generated correspondence must have the employee's title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name, Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) number, and letter system number, which are systemically generated by IDRS. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information. Correspondex letters - Specific employee name and telephone number if the employee initiating the correspondence is in the best position to respond to any questions the taxpayer may have or if the taxpayer is being asked to give more case-related information. If the taxpayer does not need to contact a specific employee, the correspondence needs only an IRS telephone number and standard signature. When a taxpayer requests to speak with a specific employee who previously worked their inquiry or request, or complains about the level of service previously given, make every attempt to resolve the taxpayer's inquiry. If unable to resolve the issue, refer the inquiry using established procedures to the manager. Secretaries, receptionists, or other people who answer the telephone in functional offices need to identify themselves. They will provide their badge identification (ID Card) number only if they are answering telephones which are routinely used to give tax or account information. It is not necessary to repeat the badge identification (ID Card) number on a subsequent contact, when the nature of an employee's work involves multiple contacts with the same taxpayer and the employee has given the taxpayer (either telephone or in-person) his or her badge identification (ID Card) number on the first contact.

The taxpayer indicates return is for more than one tax period, Action Code 211 and correspond for the taxpayer to complete the separate and Form 2290 Schedule 1 for each tax period. Unable to determine tax period and no other correspondence required, Process as current year. Unable to determine the beginning month and other correspondence is required, Request clarification of the tax period. If the taxpayer's reply indicates that the full year's tax is correct and the beginning month is wrong, process as an annual return. (e.g., beginning month 07). If the full year's tax was in error and the beginning month was correct, edit the beginning month as the correct tax period. No reply to correspondence, Edit "July" for the beginning month.

Note: Taxpayers are instructed to notate in red in the top margin of the return "REJECTED ELECTRONIC RETURN" to indicate the timely filed return cannot be filed electronically. The notation could be anywhere on the return and is not required, but they must attach a copy of the MeF rejection notification in order to show they qualify for an edited Received Date. If a MeF rejection notification is not attached, perfection of the Received Date is not necessary. If a notification is attached, edit the IRS stamped Received Date as follows: Note: The taxpayer has 10 days to resubmit an electronically filed return after being rejected and 10 days to submit a paper return after the last rejection. The first transmission of any rejected return must have been filed before the due date of the relevant form for this rule to apply. If And Then The postmark date is within 10 days of the date of the rejection, Edit the IRS Received Date to be the date of the rejection. For example, postmark date is 05-07-2026 and first rejection is 04-30-2026. Change Received Date to 04-30-2026. The postmark date is more than 10 days after the date of the rejection, Leave the IRS Received Date as is. For example, postmark date is 05-14-2026 and first rejection is 04-30-2026. Leave the Received Date as is. Exception: Change the Received Date to the postmark date if the postmark date makes the return timely. There are two rejections, Within 10 days of one another and one is within 10 days of the postmark date, Edit the IRS Received Date to be the date of the first rejection. For example, postmark date is 05-13-2026, the second rejection is 05-04-2026. The first rejection is 04-30-2026 Change the Received Date to 04-30-2026. There are two rejections with the time between the first rejection and the second rejection greater than 10 days, The second rejection is within 10 days of the postmark date, Edit the IRS Received Date to be the date of the second rejection. For example, postmark date is 05-08-2026, the second rejection is 04-30-2026. The first rejection is 04-16-2026. Change the Received Date to 04-30-2026. There are two rejections, Not within 10 days of one another and second rejection not within 10 days of the postmark date, Leave the IRS Received Date as is. For example, postmark date is 05-18-2026, the second rejection is 05-04-2026. The first rejection is 04-13-2026. Leave the Received Date as is. Exception: Change the Received Date to the postmark date if the postmark date makes the return timely. The IRS Received Date will be stamped on the face of the return. A valid IRS Received Date Stamp may consist of the following: The word "Received" Month (alpha or numeric) Day (for example "1" or "01" ) Year - four digits "Area Office" , "Campus" , "Field Office" , "Taxpayer Assistance Center" (TAC), plus the city, location, or functional area within one of these sites (e.g., Compliance Services Collection Operations (CSCO), Examination, Image Control Team (ICT), Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII), Accounts Management (AM), etc.). Exception: Not all IRS offices are designated places for filing, and not all IRS employees are authorized to accept a tax return for processing. If a return contains a received date stamp from other than a Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC), Lockbox, or IRS campus (Compliance, Accounts Management, or Submission Processing (SP)), circle out the invalid Received Date and edit the correct IRS Received Date according to instructions below. For example, returns received by the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), Department/Bureau of Motor Vehicles (DMV/BMV) or the IRS Office of Chief Counsel are not properly filed and a Received Date by that office is not the "IRS Received Date" . If the IRS Received Date stamp is not present or the date is illegible or invalid, edit the IRS Received Date in MMDDYY format in the middle of page one of the return. Edit the Received Date according to the following priority: The earliest legible Postmark Date (U.S. Postal Service, Foreign Postmark, or Private Delivery Service) on the envelope.

# Received Date Editing - Form 2290 and Form 2290(SP)

3.11.23.11.1 (01-01-2021) Received Date Editing - Form 2290 and Form 2290(SP) For heavy highway motor vehicles used on public highways in July, Form 2290 and Form 2290(SP) must be filed by August 31. For vehicles whose first use is in a later month, Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month of the vehicle's first use. For vehicles for which tax is suspended during the taxable period under the 5,000/7,500-mile exemption, an amended Form 2290 return is due, if the vehicle later exceeds the applicable mileage limit. The amended Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month in which the vehicle's use exceeded the limit. Form 2290 is often received with multiple received dates indicated on Page 2 and Schedule 1. Circle out the erroneous received dates on Page 2 in such a manner that the tax data is still legible for the ISRP function. Note: If the Schedule 1 being sent to the taxpayer already has an authorized IRS Received Date affixed, it is not necessary to place another IRS Received Date on the Schedule 1. Return the Schedule 1 to the taxpayer with the previously affixed IRS Received Date.

# Received Date - Form 2290 Alternative Proof of Payment Program

3.11.23.11.2 (01-01-2022) Received Date - Form 2290 Alternative Proof of Payment Program The IRS has developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with various state agencies that allow the agency to accept the Form 2290 and payment for the IRS on behalf of the taxpayer. This MOU is referred to as the Alternative Proof of Payment (APP) program. When a Form 2290 is received from a state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) treat the filing as if it is part of the APP program. When the IRS has received a Form 2290 from a state agency participating in the APP program that accepts a Form 2290 from a taxpayer and mails the Form 2290 to the IRS, the Form 2290 is not considered received until it has been received by the IRS. Use the date the IRS received the Form 2290 as the Received Date. See IRM 3.11.23.17.12.1, Form 2290 Alternative Proof of Payment Program, for more information. Exception: If the IRS receives the Form 2290 after the return due date the postmark date on the envelope from the state agency will be the date the return is deemed filed. If the postmark date is unknown follow guidance in IRM 3.11.23.11, Received Date, for determining the received date.

The IRS Number 133 must be reported on the 2nd quarter Form 720 only with a return due date of July 31 each year. If the IRS Number 133 is reported in any other tax period other than the 2nd quarter, change the tax period to the 2nd quarter if it is the only tax reported on Form 720. If the IRS Number 133 is reported with other IRS Numbers present and the tax period is other than the 2nd quarter then: If Then Numbered return, Edit AC 610 (renumber) or AC 611 (remittance-renumber). Prepare and attach Form 4227 notated "Multiple IRS numbers present with the IRS Number 133. Prepare a dummy return for the IRS Number 133" . Unnumbered return, Prepare a dummy return for the IRS Number 133 for the 2nd quarter. Ensure the Received Date is edited to the dummy return.

If completing a computer or hand-written dummy return indicate on the signature line of the dummy return "signature on tax period YYMM return" using the tax period from the original return. Exception: In this instance, if the taxpayer has filed a Form 720 for quarters 1, 3, and/or 4 and the PCOR tax being reported is zero, N/A, none, - (dash), etc., do not prepare a dummy return for the 2nd quarter just to post the zero amount for PCOR tax. Do not underline the IRS Number 133 when only zero, N/A, none, - (dash), etc., has been entered, so transcription does not pick it up. Note: When the tax period has not been clearly indicated on a Form 720 reporting the IRS Number 133 use the IRS Received Date to help determine the tax period. If the return was received December 31 or prior, process to the preceding 2nd quarter (e.g., Form 720 reporting the IRS Number 133 received on December 31, 2025 process as 202506). If the return was received after December 31, process to the subsequent 2nd quarter (e.g., Form 720 reporting the IRS Number 133 received on January 3, 2026 process as 202606).

Beginning with the 2nd quarter 2016 Form 720 the PCOR area will be expanded to more accurately accommodate the rates of the fees prior to October 1 each year and the inflation adjusted rates on or after October 1 each year. Column (a) amounts and Column (c) amounts must be perfected as applicable when the IRS Number 133 contains a fee (tax) amount. The tax amount for the IRS Number 133 will be the total tax reported for both column (c) for specified health insurance policies added to column (c) for applicable self-insured health plans. Beginning with the 2nd quarter 2016 Form 720, the applicable rates will be pre-printed on the form in the expanded PCOR area. If any amounts cannot be perfected from the return or attachments, correspond for the correct breakdown of the PCOR reporting area. The table below will be used for Form 720 revisions prior to Rev. 4-2016. If And Then The amount in column (c) is less than the number of lives in column (a), the amount in column (c) appears to be the rate for column (b), (the rates will vary from year to year based on inflation rate adjustments) Calculate the fee by multiplying column (a) by the implied rate for column (b) and edit in column (c). Note: If the column (c) amount and the IRS Number 133 tax should be the same, you may circle out the column (c) entry and use a double arrow to indicate such. There is a tax amount present for the IRS Number 133, There are no entries in the average number of lives covered (column (a)) and/or the column (c) lines, Use the tax amount to try and back into the average number of lives covered and/or column (c) lines.

If the taxpayer has entered a partial life then apply traditional rounding. If .5 or greater round up and if less than .5 round down (e.g., if 100.5 lives are reported input 101 lives and conversely if 100.4 lives are reported, edit 100 for the number of lives). If less than one, round up (e.g., .4 lives reported input 1 life).

The limit is 7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles. To suspend the tax, the taxpayer must complete the applicable statement(s) on Page 1 (Part II, Statement in Support of Suspension). This requirement includes returns filed by a taxpayer who purchases a used highway motor vehicle under a suspension from tax (see Part II, Line 7), and a taxpayer who purchased a used vehicle under a suspension from tax in the prior period and did not exceed the mileage limit (see Part II, Line 8).

The Page 1 statement is completed, or there are VIN numbers on Schedule 1, Part l, Get the number of vehicles on which the taxpayer is suspending the tax and mark that number in Category "W" on Page 2 under Number of Vehicles. See Figure 3.11.23-29, Form 2290, Determining Suspended Vehicles. Taxpayers may report all vehicles in use and under suspension on the same return. A vehicle is reported as suspended, and the owner disposes of that vehicle by sale, trade, etc., before the 5,000/7,500 mile limit is reached, the new owner must either: File a partial period return for the remainder of the tax period showing the vehicle as suspended, or File an amended return and pay the tax for the entire year if the vehicle is used more than the 5,000/7,500 mile limitation. Note: In such cases, the number of highway miles accumulated by the seller must be taken into consideration by the new owner in computing the 5,000/7,500 mile limitation.

# Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering

3.11.23.18 (01-01-2024) Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering The processing of Form 11-C is centralized at the Ogden Submission Processing Center (OSPC). See Exhibit 3.11.23-6, Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering, for transcription lines (T-lines). Report processing time and volume under Organization Function Program (OFP) 12701 for Form 11-C. A principal, someone engaged in the business of accepting taxable wagers for their own account, or an agent, who accepts taxable wagers on the principal's behalf, is required to file Form 11-C. This includes organizations that are otherwise exempt from tax under IRC 501 or IRC 521. Taxable wagers include bets placed on a sports event or contest with a person engaged in the business of accepting such wagers, bets placed in a wagering pool with respect to a sports event or contest conducted for profit, and bets placed in a lottery conducted for profit (other than state conducted lottery). See IRM 3.11.23.18.1, Taxable and Non-Taxable Wagers. The dual-purpose Form 11-C allows the taxpayer to: Report and pay the occupational tax, or Register certain information with the IRS before accepting taxable wagers. The return is filed and the tax is paid by both principal operators and by agents prior to conducting business. Each taxpayer indicates his or her status by checking the correct box in Part I, Line 3. A principal operator is a person who is in the business of accepting taxable wagers on his or her own behalf. This person is at risk for the profit or loss depending on the outcome of the event or contest for which the wager was accepted. An agent is any person who accepts wagers for the Principal Operator. The first return must be filed before taxable wagers are accepted. The first return will cover the tax period from the start of the business until June 30 of the current year. The taxpayer must file a renewal Form 11-C return by July 1 of each year as long as taxable wagers are accepted. See IRM 3.11.23.18.2, Due Dates, for further due date information. If the activity of accepting taxable wagers starts after July, the tax is prorated for the first year. The correct tax is computed by the computer. Under certain circumstances, a taxpayer must file a supplemental registration return and no tax is due. These include when there has been a change of address or a change of corporate name. See IRM 3.11.23.18.5, Supplemental Registration Return Filing Status, for more circumstances. Under other circumstances, such as when a change in ownership has occurred, a taxpayer must file a first return and pay the correct tax for the new entity. There are two amounts of tax which apply to both principal operators and agents: $50 per year if taxable wagers are authorized under the laws of the state in which accepted. $500 per year for all other taxable wagers. Edit CCC "1" when the Renewal box is checked and the $50.00 category is paid rather than the $500.00 category. The lower amount is used for those wagers authorized by their respective states. Edit all fields on Form 11-C in dollars and cents. See Exhibit 3.11.23-6, Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering, for transcription lines (T-lines).

# Taxable and Non-Taxable Wagers

3.11.23.18.1 (01-01-2021) Taxable and Non-Taxable Wagers Only certain activities constitute wagers subject to tax. These include: Any wager with respect to a sports event or contest placed with a person who is in the business of accepting such wagers. Any wager placed in a wagering pool with respect to a sports event or contest, if the pool is conducted for profit. A wagering pool conducted for profit includes any scheme or method for the distribution of prizes to one or more winning bettors based upon the outcome of a sports event or contest, or a combination or series of events or contests, provided that the pool is managed or conducted for profit. A wagering pool or lottery may be conducted for profit even if a direct profit doesn't occur. If a taxpayer operates the wagering pool or lottery with the expectation of a profit in the form of increased sales, attendance, or other indirect benefits, the taxpayer conducts it for profit. Any wager placed in a lottery conducted for profit (other than a state-conducted lottery). The term lottery includes the numbers game, a wager or gambling policy, punch boards, pull tabs, and similar types of wagers. In general, a lottery conducted for profit includes any method or scheme for the distribution of prizes among persons who have paid or promise to pay for a chance to win the prizes. The winning prizes are generally determined by the drawing of numbers, symbols, or tickets from a wheel, or other container, or by the outcome of a given event. Other activities are not wagers subject to tax if certain conditions are met: A drawing conducted by an organization exempt from tax under IRC 501 or IRC 521 is not taxable as long as the net proceeds from the drawing don't benefit any individual or shareholder. A game is not taxable if it is the type in which usually the wagers are placed, the winners are determined, and the prizes are distributed in the presence of all persons placing wagers in the game. These games generally include card games, roulette, dice games, bingo, keno, and gambling wheels. Parimutuel wagering, including horse racing, dog racing, and jai alai, when licensed under state law Coin-operated devices, such as slot machines, pinball machines and video games. Sweepstakes, wagering pools or lotteries that are conducted by an agency of a state, if the wager is placed with the state agency or its authorized agents or employees.

# Frivolous Return Criteria

Exhibit 3.11.23-10 Frivolous Return Criteria Returns or submissions that contain positions/arguments not listed below, which on their face have no basis for validity in existing law, or which have been deemed frivolous in a published opinion of the United States Tax Court or other court of competent jurisdiction, may be determined to reflect a desire to delay or impede the administration of Federal tax laws and thereby subject to the $5,000 penalty. Note: Notice 2007-30 has been revised. For submissions made and issues raised between January 14, 2008 and April 7, 2010, Notice 2010-33 applies. Effective for submissions made and issues raised after April 7, 2010, Notice 2010-33 dated April 2010 applies. Potential Frivolous Arguments Description Alleged Churches/First Amendment Income from non-religious sources and may claim a vow of poverty.

Challenges to Authority/Title 26 or "law" in Other Documents Argues that Title 26 of the United States Code is not law because it was never enacted as named Disclaimer Submits a disclaimer stating, "disclaims the liability for the tax due" , making the liability on the return zero. Fifth Amendment Assertion of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination as a basis for not providing any financial information. Foreign Income Argues that United States citizens and residents are not subject to tax on their wages or other income derived from sources within the United States, as only foreign based income or income received by non-resident aliens and foreign corporations from sources within the United States is taxable. The IRS is a Private Organization/Collects Tribute, Not Taxes Argues that the IRS is an entity named the Internal Revenue and Tax Service, Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 1933, it is a collection agency for the Federal Reserve Bank, or is part of the United Nations and is clandestinely leading the tax paying public into a "new world order." Not a Person Argues that a taxpayer is not a "person" within the meaning of IRC 7701(a)(14). Protest Against Government Action/Inaction Argues that refusal to file or pay is justified because they disagree with government policies or spending plans. Sixteenth Amendment Argues the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified and therefore the federal government does not have the legal authority to collect an income tax without apportionment.

Taxes are Voluntary/Law Does Not Require Submits a return, amended return or correspondence that argues income taxes are voluntary. Unsigned Returns The individual completes a return but does not sign, a statement indicating disagreement with the tax system is attached or added to the return.

A statement is attached claiming there is no section of the Internal Revenue Code that established an income tax liability. The statement may also contain arguments about the definition of income. Note: Returns having only zeros, no entries, are blank, or indicate "None" , "Not Liable" , etc., with no evidence of frivolous arguments are not to be considered as frivolous returns. Other All others including those listed in Notice 2010-33. This category includes non-filer accounts resulting from initial compliance check such as cross reference TINs.
