Taxpayer Advocate Service
3.11.26.2.1.1 (01-01-2025) Taxpayer Advocate Service The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate. Its job is to protect taxpayers' rights by striving to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR). TAS offers free help to taxpayers, including when taxpayers face financial difficulties due to an IRS problem, when they are unable to resolve tax problems they haven't been able to resolve on their own, or when they need assistance to address an IRS system, process, or procedure that is not functioning as it should. 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 start 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, TAS Operations Assistance Request (OAR) Process. Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria or when Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (and Application for Taxpayer Assistance Order), is attached and steps cannot be taken to resolve the taxpayer's issue the same day. The definition of "same day resolution" is within 24 hours. The following two situations meet the definition of "same day resolution" : The issue can be resolved within 24 hours. IRS takes steps within 24 hours to resolve the taxpayer's issue. When making a TAS referral, use Form 911 and forward to TAS following your local procedures. See IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria, for more information.
Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) SLA
3.11.26.2.1.2 (01-01-2025) Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) SLA The National Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners of the Tax Exempt Government Entities (TE/GE), Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE) Division, Taxpayer Services (TS), Criminal Investigation (CI), Appeals, and Large Business and International (LB&I) that outline the procedures and responsibilities for processing Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) casework when either the statutory or delegated authority to complete case transactions rests outside of TAS. These agreements are known as Service Level Agreements (SLAs).Agreements (SLAs) contains basic requirements for handling TAS-referred cases, and includes specific actions to take on TAS referrals and specific time frames to complete those actions. The SLAs are found at Service Level Agreements.
BMF Consistency
3.11.26.2.2 (01-01-2022) BMF Consistency Our goal is to achieve consistency in the Business Master File (BMF) Code & Edit processing IRMs. Ogden and Paper Processing Branch BMF Code & Edit and ERS section coordinate the effort to identify topics for BMF Consistency. This IRM identifies BMF Consistency subsections which are identified by a "♦" (diamond) before and after the subsection title. Text in normal print is the common process for BMF returns. The text in bold print is form-specific and applies to this IRM only.
General Perfecting of Tax Exempt Bonds (TEB) Returns
3.11.26.3 (01-01-2025) General Perfecting of Tax Exempt Bonds (TEB) Returns Use the following general information when editing Tax Exempt Bond (TEB) returns. If the general instructions and the form specific instructions conflict, follow the form specific instructions. Perfect for legibility. If perfecting a dollar or "total" line and an amount isn't present, bring the amount to the line from attachment(s) or from the lines feeding into the "total" line. "X" the T-line if the taxpayer crossed out the wording and replaced it with wording with a different meaning from the wording on the return. "X" the line and edit or add the entry on the correct T-line if the wording has been crossed out and replaced with wording that is on a T-line. Recompute a total T-line if all of the lines above it are also T-lines, and one or more dollar entries edited or deleted ("X" ed). A dollar entry is a positive or negative dollar amount. Document Perfection no longer needs to edit dollars and cents. Exception: Form 8038-CP must be edited in dollar and cents. Don't edit brackets or parentheses around amounts clearly indicated to be negative with a bracket or a minus (-) sign. A true negative entry means that, through computation or perfection, the result or entry is actually negative. Reminder: Bracket negative amounts when editing negative entries on transcription lines (i.e., computing and entering a missing line entry, etc.). See IRM 3.11.26.5, Tax Exempt Bonds, Mortgage Credit Certificates Notification (Correspondence), Notice of Defeasance and Student Loan Bonds, for instruction for processing TEB returns received in Entity Perfection. See IRM 3.11.26.6, Accounting - General Information Relating to Tax Exempt Bonds, for general information about TEB returns received in Accounting. Note any instruction for completing a correspondence action sheet and annotating the missing items by checking the box next to the reason if present on the action sheet, or by writing out the reason in an open paragraph if the IRM states to use the open paragraph.
Purpose and Background
3.11.26.3.1 (01-01-2024) Purpose and Background The Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires issuers of Tax Exempt Bonds to file information returns with the Internal Revenue Service. It also requires that municipal bonds meet certain rules for the interest received by the bondholders to be exempt from federal income tax. The table below lists the specific form type, MFT, Doc Code, and valid Report Number range as it applies to each TEB return. The Tax Class for all TEB returns is 3. The Document Code (Doc. Code) in the Document Locator Number (DLN) defines which form it specifically relates to. Form MFT Doc.

Purpose of Form
3.11.26.3.2 (01-01-2024) Purpose of Form Form 8038, Information Return for Tax Exempt Private Activity Bond Issues, is for issuers of tax exempt qualified private activity bonds to provide the IRS with the information required by IRC 149(e) and to monitor the requirements of IRC 141 through IRC 150. Form 8038-B, Information Return for Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, is for reporting Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds to provide the IRS with information required by IRC 149(e). Form 8038-CP, Return for Credit Payments to Issuers of Qualified Bonds, is for issuers of qualified bonds who elect to receive a direct payment from the federal government equal to the subsidy that would have otherwise been delivered through the federal tax credit for bonds. Schedule A, (Form 8038-CP) Specified Tax Credit Bonds Interest Limit Computation, is used to compute the amount of the refundable credit payment allowed under section 6431(f) and must be completed for all specified tax credit bonds (NCREBs, QECBs, QZABs, and QSCBs). Form 8038-G, Information Return for Tax Exempt Governmental Obligations, is for issuers of tax exempt governmental bonds of $100,000 or more to provide the IRS with information required by IRC 149(e). Form 8038-GC, Information Return for Small Tax Exempt Governmental Bond Issues, Leases, and Installment Sales, is for issuers of tax exempt governmental bonds of less than $100,000, to provide the IRS with information required by IRC 149(e). Form 8038-R, Request for Recovery of Overpayments Under Arbitrage Rebate Provisions, is for issuers of state and local bonds to request a refund of amounts previously paid with Form 8038-T. Form 8038-R replaces the letter procedure of Rev. Proc. 92.83, 1992-2 C.B. 487. Note: Form 8038-R is not processed to Master File. See IRM 3.11.26.6, Accounting - General Information relating to Tax Exempt bonds. Form 8038-T, Arbitrage Rebate, Yield Reduction and Penalty in Lieu of Arbitrage Rebate, is for issuers of tax exempt bonds when paying arbitrage rebate (or penalty in lieu of rebate) to the United States as required under IRC 148(f), or the corresponding provisions of the 1954 Code; or to make a yield reduction payment in accordance with IRC 1.148-5(c). Payments may be made by a person acting on behalf of the issuer for bonds subject to IRC 103(c)(6)(D) of the 1954 Code. Under IRC 148(f), interest on a state or local bond isn't tax exempt unless the issuer of the bond rebates to the United States on Form 8038-T, arbitrage profits earned from investing proceeds of the bond in higher yield nonpurpose investments. Form 8038-TC, Information Return for Tax Credit and Specified Tax Credit Bonds as the result of the new Hire bill, is for issuers of qualified tax credit bonds to provide the IRS with the information required by IRC 149(e). Form 8328, Carryforward Election of Unused Private Activity Bond Volume Cap, is for the issuing authority of private activity bonds to elect to carry forward its unused volume cap for one or more carryforward purposes (see IRC 146(f)). A state may also use Form 8328 to carryforward the unused volume cap under IRC 142(k). Once Form 8328 is filed, the issuer may not revoke the carry forward election or amend the carry forward amounts on the form. Form 8703, Annual Certification of a Residential Rental Project, is for an operator of a residential rental project to provide annual information the IRS will use to determine whether a project continues to be a qualified residential rental project under IRC 142(d). If so, and certain other requirements are met, bonds issued in connection with the project are considered "exempt facility bonds" and the interest paid on them isn't taxable to the recipient.
Description of Bonds
3.11.26.3.3 (01-01-2024) Description of Bonds Municipal bonds may be classified as tax exempt (government or qualified private activity bonds) or taxable ( government or qualified private activity bonds). Municipal bonds may be issued as governmental bonds or non-governmental bonds. Some non-governmental bonds are also called "qualified private activity bonds" . The following identifies a few bond categories: Governmental Bonds: issued to finance governmental activities of a state or local government. That is, the government entity uses the bond proceeds for its own purposes. Certain lease arrangements may be treated as tax exempt bonds when the lease transaction is treated as a conditional sales contract. Example: Funds used to build and maintain highways, schools, government buildings (e.g., courthouses), or sewer and water facilities. Qualified Private Activity Bonds: issued by state and local governments. The facilities financed with the bond proceeds can be owned and operated by non-governmental entities for limited purposes specified in IRC 142(a), IRC 143, IRC 144, and IRC 145. Code Section Examples IRC 142 exempt facility bonds Airports Docks and wharves Environmental enhancements of hydroelectric generating facilities IRC 142(a) Facilities for the furnishings of water Facilities for the local furnishing of electric energy or gas High-speed intercity rail facilities Local heating or cooling facilities Mass commuting facilities Qualified broadband projects Qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities Qualified green building and sustainable design projects Qualified hazardous waste facilities Qualified highway or surface freight transfer facilities Qualified public educational facilities Qualified residential rental projects Sewage facilities Solid waste disposal facilities IRC 143 bonds Qualified Mortgage Bonds Qualified Veteran's Mortgage Bonds IRC 144 bonds Qualified Small Issue Bonds Qualified Student Loan Bonds Qualified Redevelopment Bonds IRC 145 bonds Qualified IRC 501(c)(3) bonds Example: A county needs a nursing home in its community. It loans bond proceeds to an IRC 501(c)(3) corporation who will construct and operate the facility. Pooled Financing may involve proceeds of governmental bonds or certain types of private activity bonds. In a pooled financing, the proceeds of the issuer loans the bonds to more than one borrower. The borrower of the proceeds may be tax exempt organizations or other state or local governments. Example: A state issues bonds and lends the bond proceeds to multiple school districts within the state. One school district uses the proceeds to buy computer equipment for its schools. Another school district uses the proceeds to construct administrative offices. A third school district uses the proceeds to renovate its athletic facilities. Registered Warrants are a short-term obligation (30 - 60 day bond) of a municipality. Commercial Paper Bonds are a short-term bond having a maturity date of 270 days or less. These bonds are issued per a commercial paper program that is treated as part of a single issue. Commercial Paper Program is a program to issue commercial paper to finance or refinance the same governmental purpose per a master legal document. The Liberty Bond is due to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. The IRS provided guidance (Notice 2002-42 2002–27 IRB 36) on the effects of various tax benefits that were enacted for areas of New York City. IRC 1400L(a) provides for a new targeted group for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC): New York Liberty Zone business employees. The new targeted group includes individuals who perform substantially all of their services in the New York Liberty Zone (NYLZ), and may include individuals who perform substantially all of their services elsewhere in New York City for a business that relocated from the NYLZ due to the physical destruction or damage of its workplace within the NYLZ by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. Lease Installment Sales are unconditional sales agreements under which a municipal government leases equipment that it acquires at the end of the lease period. Promissory Notes are interest bearing certificates of governments that come due in a shorter time than bonds. Municipal notes have maturities up to approximately one year. Lines of Credit are pre-approved loans where the municipality draws down money as it is needed. The loans have specified dollar limits, terms and interest rates. Note: This is similar to a home equity loan of a homeowner. Green bonds are issued to finance projects designated by the Secretary after consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator. Green building and sustainable design projects must meet certain eligibility requirements. The Gulf Opportunity Zone Bond is due to the Hurricane Katrina disaster area determined by the President to warrant individual or individual and public assistance from the federal government. The IRS provided guidance ( Notice 2006-41, 2006–18 IRB 857), which authorizes Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi to issue certain exempt facility bonds and qualified mortgage bonds per IRC 1400N(a). Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds must have been issued before January 1, 2011. Notice 2006-41 also provides guidance on Gulf Opportunity Zone Advance Refunding Bonds that are permitted to be issued under IRC 1400N(b). Bonds are an "obligation" of any state or political subdivision thereof. Obligation means any valid evidence of indebtedness under general federal tax principles. Obligations are not limited to bonds or other securities but may also include written contracts such as installment sales contracts and loans to a municipality. To be an obligation, money must be borrowed by a governmental entity, used for governmental or qualified purposes, and there must be an obligation to repay. Income from certain obligations of states and their political subdivisions may likewise be excluded from gross income. Such obligations include: Installment sales contracts Equipment leases Bank loans
Attachment to Returns

Correspondence for missing information is not required on a true duplicate return. If "True Duplicate" is annotated on a Form 8038-CP by SPP&O analyst, do not edit CCC "O" on the duplicate return. All true duplicate TEB returns will unpost as an UNP 332 (9) and resolved in the Unpostable units.
♦Statute Returns♦
3.11.26.3.7.3 (05-14-2025) ♦Statute Returns♦ The Form 8038-CP is the only TEB return that has a statute of limitation (SOL). If a return meets statute criteria, the SPP&O analyst will edit "SOL" or annotate "Statute of Limitations" in green, in the top margin of the Form 8038-CP during their initial review of the return. Additionally, SPP&O analyst must edit CCC "X" on all statute returns. If SPP&O fails to identify a statute return and you determine the Form 8038-CP meets statute criteria, edit CCC "X" on the return to hold the credit and follow normal statute guidelines. Before you route the return to Statutes for review, e-mail a scanned copy of the edited return to SPP&O analyst as outlined below. The Code and Edit lead (or back-up) secure e-mails SPP&O analyst. Attach a scanned copy of the Form 8038-CP to the secure e-mail indicting it is an "SOL" return. Copy (cc) the SPP&O Analyst and Code and Edit OSPC Analyst on the e-mail. A statute of limitation exists when: the Interest Payment Date is three years before the IRS received date or postmark date. Example: The IPD is 01/01/2017 and the IRS received date is 05/16/2020. Since the IPD is three years prior to the IRS received date, the refund statute has expired. If a return meets the above conditions and doesn't have a "Statute Cleared" indication, complete and attach a Form 3210 and give to lead who will route it to Statutes for clearance. Edit CCC "W" if the return has been cleared by Statute Control Unit. Statute will stamp or indicate clearance on the front of the return.

Code and Edit - Instructions for Editing Tax Exempt Bonds
3.11.26.4 (01-01-2022) Code and Edit - Instructions for Editing Tax Exempt Bonds This subsection provides editing instructions for tax exempt bonds and their related documents. Enter all edit marks on the return being processed. Consider the following criteria when editing a return: Zero, N/A, dash, or none are acceptable entries unless otherwise stated. Edit any misplaced or illegible entry to the proper transcription line.
♦Edit Marks♦
3.11.26.4.1 (05-14-2025) ♦Edit Marks♦ We edit marks on the return for transcription to the Automated Data Processing (ADP) System through ISRP. Code and Edit must edit in red pencil/pen. Other areas can edit in brown, orange, purple or green. The only items edited on the return are those to be transcribed 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. Never obliterate, alter, or erase the original entry on a return when deleting or correcting an entry. Make sure the original entry remains legible. Perfected entries provide a legible "edit trail" for anyone who may work with the return later. For a description of specific edit marks, see the table below: Edit Mark Description X or / Use the "X" to delete tax data or to indicate that an item isn't transcribed. Use an "/" when deleting a form or schedule not being transcribed. / /$ Use "/ /$" in the entity area to identify the beginning and ending of a Foreign Country Code. Example: Edit "/EI/$" for "Ireland" or edit "/GM/$" for "Germany" c/o or % Indicates an "in-care-of" name for transcription. Circle Indicates that an entry isn't transcribed. Also used to delete Entity data or a Received Date. Note: If the taxpayer circles an entry, edit the entry. Underline Indicates that an entry is to be transcribed (e.g., Name Control, Tax Period, etc.). 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 (<------->) if the same figure is to be transcribed in two different places. Check Mark Indicates a manually math verified and correct entry. Bracket/Parenthesis Indicates a negative numerical amount. Note: C&E no longer needs 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 "-" minus sign. Bracket negative amounts when editing negative entries on transcription lines (i.e., computing and entering a line entry, entering a missing entry, etc.). Vertical Line or Decimal Point Indicates the separation of dollars and cents. 0 (zero), - (dash), None, or N/A ZERO, DASH, NONE, or N/A are valid entries except when specific instructions require editing of an entry. Edit marks made by other IRS functions Don't re-edit edit marks entered by other areas, such as SPP&O analyst, TEB, CP&C, Entity or Accounts Management except to place the marks in the correct area. Don't edit (or write) edit marks made by another area. Rocker Indicates the amount paid when drawn under a remittance amount.
♦Action Codes♦
3.11.26.4.2 (01-01-2022) ♦Action Codes♦ Use Action Codes (AC) to indicate whether correspondence, research, or some other action is needed. The AC sets the suspense period to be assigned to the return and places the return in the workable or unworkable suspense inventory. When necessary, a three-digit Action Code will be assigned by the tax examiner. Action codes are valid on Form 8038, Form 8038-B , Form 8038-CP , Form 8038-G, Form 8038-GC, Form 8038-T, Form 8038-TC, Form 8328, and Form 8703. Process any other returns through a manual correction system. Edit the AC in the bottom left margin of the tax return. Assign action codes in the following priority: AC 310 (Statute Control) AC 320 (Entity Control) AC 4XX AC 6XX AC 3XX AC 2XX (correspondence) Exception: When more than one Action Code is needed, attach Form 4227. If more than one Action Code of the same priority is required (e.g., 310 and 341), edit the Action Code with the shortest suspense period and attach Form 4227 to indicate the second unprocessable condition. Use Action Code 211, 215, 225, or 226 before Action Code 341 to ensure the return is complete before a manual refund is issued. If more than one AC of the same priority is required (e.g., 310 and 341), edit the Action Code with the shortest suspense period and attach Form 4227 to indicate the second unprocessable condition. See Exhibit 3.11.26-5, ERS Action Codes. Edit the following ACs when unable to perfect a return from the information present: Action Code Description 211 (First Correspondence) 215 (International Correspondence) Return is so illegible, incomplete, or contradictory that it's unacceptable for computer processing. The taxpayer annotates 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 (Missing Signature Correspondence) 226 (Missing Signature International Correspondence) Unsigned returns (only issue for correspondence). 310 (Statute) Route return to have Statute cleared. 320 (Entity) Route return to have Entity issue worked. 480 (Early Filed - Suspense) The return is an early-filed return. 640 (Void) To delete the assigned DLN on the return (e.g., Re-entry Returns). 650 (International) The return is an International return and must be forwarded to OSPC.

CP 152 TEB Acknowledgment Notice and CP 152A, Form 8038-CP Acknowledgment and Sequestration Notice
3.11.26.4.3 (01-01-2022) CP 152 TEB Acknowledgment Notice and CP 152A, Form 8038-CP Acknowledgment and Sequestration Notice Submission Processing no longer sends TEB acknowledgments. The TEB acknowledgment process was automated to allow issuance of either a CP 152, TEB Acknowledgment Notice, or CP 152A, Form 8038-CP Acknowledgment and Sequestration Notice, when a TC 150 posts to Master File. Both notices are issued for each tax exempt bond filed. The CP 152 /152A also generates to the POA if one is active for the specific tax period and form type. The CP 152A generates on all Form 8038-CP and serves as both an acknowledgment notice and a notice of sequestration. When we receive an acknowledgment request from an issuer or preparer asking IRS to return the attached letter and/or copy of their TEB return, don't reply. Annotate on the return "copy" and line through the photocopy in red ink and leave attached to the original return and continue processing. If an original return isn't present, and the form is marked with wording similar to "Acknowledgment copy" or "Please stamp and return" , route to EO Accounts (MS: 6710).

Entity Perfection - Tax Exempt Bonds, Mortgage Credit Certificates Notification (Correspondence), Notice of Defeasance and Student Loan Bonds
3.11.26.5 (01-01-2022) Entity Perfection - Tax Exempt Bonds, Mortgage Credit Certificates Notification (Correspondence), Notice of Defeasance and Student Loan Bonds The entity area of Tax Exempt Bond and Mortgage Credit Certificates, identifies the issuers on the Business Master File (BMF). Issuer's name and address Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN) Note: There are no package mail outs or pre-printed labels for Forms 8038, 8038-B, 8038-G, 8038-GC, 8038-T, 8038-TC, 8328, or 8703.
Editing Tax Exempt Bond Forms
3.11.26.5.1 (01-01-2022) Editing Tax Exempt Bond Forms Perfect the entity for processing (e.g., EIN, name control and/or address). Make all edit markings and entity control action trails in orange pen or pencil. Correct the name and EIN directly on the form. Circle out any incorrect information. In addition, stamp and annotate actions taken in the left margin of the return. Always utilize CC INOLE on an EIN before taking any action.
Issuer's Name
3.11.26.5.2 (01-01-2023) Issuer's Name Perfect the issuer's name control on the returns. The name control consists of four alpha and/or numeric characters, which are generally derived from the first name line. Underline these characters and continue processing. If the issuer's name is different on IDRS, edit the correct name control on the return. It won't be necessary to correct the entire name line. If we receive a return with two or more name lines present, always edit the correct name control on the first name line. If Form 8038-CP, the Issuer's name control is located in Part II, line 7 when there is a different entity in Part I, line 1 (Payee). No changes of any kind are made to entity area data on the Master File. Don't input any name and/or address area information from any TEB or MCC forms. This applies to all Forms 8038, 8038-B, 8038-G, 8038-GC, 8038-T, 8038-TC, 8328 and 8703. This is due to the fact that a number of the entities may share the same EIN if they are part of the same state or municipal organization.
Issuer's Address
3.11.26.5.3 (01-01-2022) Issuer's Address You don't need to perfect the address unless the mailing address (street or P.O. Box) can't be identified or when a Form 8822 is received. Normally, addresses aren't updated (TC 016) from bond forms. If there is a P.O. Box and a street address, use the street address. Compare name control, EIN, address, city, state and zip code information on IDRS. Correct as needed and continue processing. If the information is the same, take no action and continue processing. Issuer's ZIP code could be 5, 9, or 12 digits. If the ZIP code is missing, check the attachments and perfect in the appropriate area. If you can't find it on the attachments, research CC INOLE on IDRS or search Document 7475, ZIP Code Directory You can input returns with addresses in the following American possessions can be input. American Samoa (AS) Mariana Islands (MP) Puerto Rico (PR) Virgin Islands (VI) Guam (GU)
Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN)
3.11.26.5.4 (05-14-2025) Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN) The EIN consists of nine digits and must be legible. The first two digits identify the district of application, based on the organization's location address. If EIN is for a Form 8038-CP, contact the SPP&O analyst for assistance. If the EIN is illegible and you can identify it from attachments, circle out the incorrect entry and edit the correct EIN below or to the left of the circled entry. If the EIN is illegible and you can't determine the EIN from the attachments: Research CC NAMEE and/or NAMEB using the route method if not within Ogden campus jurisdiction, to ensure the organization doesn't already have an EIN. If the organization appears to have an EIN, verify the EIN using CC ENMOD. If you find an EIN other than the EIN indicated on the form, notify the issuer of the correct EIN. Send CRX Letter 147C or Letter 3910C. If you don't find an EIN, call the issuer's representative for verification (e.g., bond lawyer, attorney, representative, or person who signed the form). If no response, assign an EIN via CC ESIGN using the attachments on the returns. Suppress the notice and send a Letter 147C or Letter 3910C informing the issuer of the new EIN. Caution: Assign a new EIN only as a last resort. If the issuer indicates "pending" or "applied for" on the TEB return in the EIN area, research for an EIN using CC NAMEE and/or NAMEB. Use route method if not within service center jurisdiction. If you don't find an EIN, assign an EIN following the procedures on page. Note: When assigning an EIN avoid abbreviating any of the words in the name line. When an EIN drops to the retention register or you can't find a record while researching, reestablish the EIN on the MF by inputting TC 000 using CC ENREQ or BNCHG. When establishing a new account with TC 000, don't use a SSN. If an EIN is input with a TC 000 using CC ESIGN or BNCHG, the system analyzes the EIN input. If the EIN is greater than the ERAS EIN assignment range, a message appears on the screen with an asterisk next to the EIN. If the EIN isn't within assignment range, research for another EIN for the issuer. If you don't locate another EIN, assign an EIN following the procedures in IRM 3.11.26.5.4(3) above.
Multiple EINs
3.11.26.5.5 (01-01-2022) Multiple EINs Two entities may legally join together and issue one bond. In this instance, you may see two names in the issuer's name line, and two EINs on the form. If multiple EINs are present, research to determine: If Then the issuers are two separate entities, underline the first EIN and corresponding name control. circle out the second EIN and corresponding name shown on the return. the issuer has erroneously been assigned two EINs, perform complete research. Use CC BMFOL for the EINs involved. Use CC INOLE for newly assigned EINs. consolidate the two EINs by using CC ENREQ/BRCHG. when determining which EIN to retain (the "TO" number): Retain the EIN preferred by the issuer. If no preference is indicated, retain the lower EIN. If one EIN is active and one isn't, retain the active EIN. Note: A CP 209 generates to notify the issuer of the correct EIN, if the full consolidation is successful.
Correspondence
3.11.26.5.6 (01-01-2022) Correspondence Process correspondence received per the following instructions. If the correspondence reveals that the issuer should file a return, perform all needed research to determine if we previously assigned an EIN. If we receive blank forms with attachments, research to determine an EIN. If Then you find an EIN, Edit the EIN and name control on the blank returns and attach a print of INOLE. Route to Code and Edit for processing. you don't find an EIN, Call the issuer's representative. If no response, assign an EIN following procedure in IRM 3.11.26.5.4, Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN) Route to Code and Edit for processing. If we only receive correspondence, research to find an EIN. If found, edit the EIN on the correspondence and attach a print of INOLE. Then route to Code and Edit for processing. If you don't find an EIN call the issuer's representative. If unable to contact, treat the case as a no response (see IRM 3.11.26.5.4, Issuer's Employer Identification Number (EIN)). If the issuer asks for a copy of their return, edit the EIN if needed and route the request to the EO Photocopy Unit. If EIN isn't provided follow steps above. If correspondence reveals a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC), Notice of Defeasance, or Student Loan Bond was previously submitted using the wrong EIN, research IDRS using the incorrect EIN on CC ENMOD to verify a fact of filing was previously posted. If a TC 971, AC 344, 345, or 314 is present, input a reversal. To reverse an incorrect fact of filing posting, input on CC ENMOD: MCC, TC 972 AC 344 Notice of Defeasance, TC 972 AC 345 Student Loan Bond, TC 972 AC 314 The following format may be referred to when completing the reversal: Access CC ENMOD Access CC REQ77 with the EIN on the first line, MFT 00 and Tax Period 000000 on the second line, and Name Control and Entry Code on the third line Input TC>972 (on the FRM77 screen) Input TRANS-DT>MMDDYYYY Note: TRANS-DT is the later of return received date or the return processable date. Input TC 971/151-CD>34X or 314 Input Remarks: Reverse MCC, Notice of Defeasance, or Student Loan Bond posting Example: REQ77 XX-XXXXXXX 00 000000 ABCD Input the following to the FRM77 screen: TC> 972 TRANS-DT> MMDDYYYY TC971/151-CD> 34X or 314 Remarks: Reverse MCC, Notice of Defeasance, or Student Loan Bond posting
Unpostables
3.11.26.5.7 (01-01-2023) Unpostables The Unpostable function sends or reassigns unpostables when research hasn't located another EIN for the name shown on the unpostable document. Perform research on IDRS using CC NAMEB, NAMEE, and INOLE. If unable to locate the EIN, call the issuer's representative. If unable to contact, assign an EIN. If the entity information of the document doesn't match Master File records for the EIN, call the issuer's representative. If unable to contact, assign an EIN. If you locate the EIN on NAMEB or NAMEE, use BNCHG with TC 000 to establish the account on the Master File. Initiate CRX Letter 147C or Letter 3910C to the issuer. If a better EIN is found using CC INOLE, "6" code the unpostable. If command code NAMEB shows the account as "P" or CC ENMOD shows a dummy account, resulting from a reject or unpostable action; use BNCHG with TC 000 to establish the account on Master File. For additional information, see IRM 3.12.278, Exempt Organization Unpostable Resolution. As of the January 1, 2022, Form 8038-CP programming was implemented which allows the Issuer's entity information to post to Master File as the primary entity, normal offset programming now applies.

All closing agreements process to the Master File.
Depositing Arbitrage Payments
3.11.26.6.1 (01-01-2022) Depositing Arbitrage Payments Before March 2001, when we received an Arbitrage payment, we journal the remittance into the 6400 "Miscellaneous Revenue Collections" account. (Treasury Account Symbols 20–3220) The package included: Original and two copies of Form 2221 with a copy a Form 8038-T. Encode tape with Form 784. White memo copy of deposit ticket. Note: The Deposit unit kept the yellow copy of the deposit ticket. Once we journal, we send the package to the Bank Adjustment/Dishonored Check unit to have the return & payment controlled onto the RICS system. Any returns and payments processed before March 2001 should be located on the RICS system. All Form 8038-T and remittance post to Master File. When we receive remittance with Form 8038-T, Receipt and Control prepares a Form 3244 and assigns a report number (if not present) within the range of 700-799 for each return. The prepared Form 3244 then processes through Manual Exception Processing to MF as follows: BMF Tax Class 3 Document Code 17 Reminder: A deposit ticket is prepared with Treasury Account Symbols 20–3220.
