# Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)

3.12.22.2 (01-01-2025) Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate, that helps taxpayers and protects taxpayer rights. 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 start the OAR process of referring a case to Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, to affect the resolution of the taxpayer's problem. For more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, Advocating with Operations Assistance Requests (OARs). 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.

# TAS Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

3.12.22.2.1 (01-01-2025) TAS Service Level Agreements (SLAs) The National Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners of Taxpayer Services (TS), Small Business and Self Employed (SB/SE) Division, Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE), 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). SLAs are located at, Taxpayer Advocate Service- Service Level Agreements.

# Operations Assistance Requests (OARs)

3.12.22.2.2 (01-01-2024) Operations Assistance Requests (OARs) TAS initiates Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR), to request help from an operational function when it lacks the statutory or delegated authority to resolve a taxpayer's problem. In cases requiring an OAR, TAS: Prepares Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR); Secures all necessary supporting documentation; Forwards Form 3210, Document Transmittal, to the TS Division Liaison; and Clearly identifies an OAR requiring expedited processing. TS Division: Assigns a liaison in each office or campus where a Taxpayer Advocate is located; Acknowledges receipt of the case via Form 3210 within one workday for expedite processing and within three workdays for non-expedite cases; Reviews the case for appropriate assignment; Assigns the case to the appropriate employee within the function; Provides TAS with the name and phone number of the TS employee assigned the case; Determines a reasonable time frame for case resolution; Provides TAS with written approval to input an adjustment or issue a manual refund, in accordance with TAS delegated authorities, after TS determination has been made; Responds to TAS within three workdays in writing, via fax, or hand delivery of resolution in cases requiring expedited processing; Returns Form 12412 within three workdays from the date all actions have been completed and transactions input. For more information, see IRM 13.1.19, Advocating with Operations Assistance Requests (OARs).

# Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2

3.12.22.3 (01-01-2023) Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2 The Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2 Program Office in Headquarters is charged with the primary goal of implementing a single, modernized programming solution that provides daily processing of taxpayer accounts. The CADE 2 solution is comprised of several components to modernize the IRS to daily processing environment with several transition states. The BMF, EO and EPMF campus cycles are: Campus Cycle: Thursday - Wednesday. Master File Processing: Friday-Thursday. Notice Review Saturday: Monday (8+ days). Unpostables: New available Tuesday; closing Tuesday. BMF, EO, and EPMF transaction posting time frames are outlined as follows: Transactions are viewable using CFOL command codes on Saturday following the weekly Master File processing run on Thursday. Note: With the acceleration of the IDRS weekly analysis occurring the weekend directly after the Master File processing on Thursday, transactions post instead of being in pending status on Monday. Cycle posting dates reflect a format of YYYYCCDD. YYYY indicates the year. CC indicates the posting cycle. For IMF transactions, the following values for DD are defined: 01 = Friday 02 = Monday 03 = Tuesday 04 = Wednesday 05 = Thursday Note: BMF, EO, and EPMF cycle posting dates on BMFOL continue to reflect YYYYCC. YYYY indicates the year. CC indicates the posting cycle. BMF cycle posting dates in TXMOD reflect a format of YYYYCCDD. The DD value is 08.

# General Correction Procedures for Form 5330

3.12.22.4 (01-01-2023) General Correction Procedures for Form 5330 Place records into Error Resolution or Rejects inventories for correction. Once you access a record and it displays an error on the screen, resolve the error by: Fully correcting the record, Placing the record in suspense until additional information is received, or Rejecting the record from pipeline processing. Corrections include correcting errors in editing, transcription, or taxpayer errors. Before making corrections to the error screen displays, verify that the DLN from the display matches the DLN of the document. If it is determined that a mixed-data situation exists, stop processing and give the block of work to your manager. Management will determine if the mixed data can be corrected via the terminal screen display or if the block will be deleted and re-input. When making corrections to the screen display, be sure money amounts within a section have been transcribed in dollars only, or dollars and cents, according to the requirements shown in the instructions for each section. Common procedures are in IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions. Use IRM 3.11.22, Employee Plan Excise Tax Return, in conjunction with IRM 3.12.22 for reference and corrective actions.

If CCC "C" is present, and there are still errors, refer to the specific field for correction instructions. Code and Edit or Error Correction will initiate correspondence indicating the appropriate selectable paragraphs to be used. The Reject clerical unit inputs the letter via IDRS and places the Form 5330 in suspense. When corresponding for a missing signature only: If the return is a "refund" , it must be held in suspense. After the letter is input, notate the date on the return, enter CCC "3" in Field 01CCC, and continue processing. When we receive the reply from the taxpayer, enter the CRD (if after the return due date) and appropriate Correspondence Indicator in Field 01COR. If there is no reply, follow "no reply" procedures. If corresponding for more than the signature, hold the return in suspense for the appropriate number of days. When we receive the reply, enter the data, correspondence received date, and the appropriate correspondence indicator. If the taxpayer submits an amended return, treat the amended return as the reply to the correspondence. Process as "no reply" when the taxpayer refuses to comply or when the suspense period expires and we have not received a reply. If the taxpayer returns the letter and writes only a telephone number on the correspondence, try calling the taxpayer at the phone number. If unsuccessful after a few attempts, use "no reply" procedures. If the taxpayer indicates that the response must be delayed because of illness, the preparer is out of town, or another valid reason, attach the letter to the return. Allow the taxpayer up to 30 days from the interim response date (or 45 days from the original date, whichever is longer). When the reply requests additional information, take the following action: If the response is accompanied by a question/request and the information is not available to answer the question/request, send a copy to the appropriate area in the service center. Be sure that the taxpayer's name, TIN, and received date are on any correspondence. If the taxpayer provides additional information, correct the record as appropriate. Include CRD and Correspondence Indicator. If the correspondence is undeliverable, research for a better address. If the letter comes back a second time as undeliverable, follow "no reply" procedures. Do not correspond for missing information on returns when the tax is less than ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡.
