# Introduction

3.12.3.2 (01-01-2026) Introduction This IRM section provides instructions for Individual Master File (IMF) Error Resolution System (ERS) processing. The instructions in this manual are for correcting the following: Errors made by taxpayers and tax preparers Errors made by other IRS employees in the pipeline during return processing ERS will place error records into the Error Inventory or the Workable Suspense Inventory for correction. When the error record displays on the computer screen, the tax examiner will take one of the following actions: Correct the displayed field errors or displayed invalid conditions. Suspend the document for additional information or removal from pipeline processing. Assign a Taxpayer Notice Code (TPNC) to inform the taxpayer of a math error. The instructions in this manual are for processing Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return; Form 1040(SP), U.S. Individual Income Tax Return in Spanish; Form 1040-SR, U.S. Income Tax Return for Seniors; and Form 1040-SR(SP), U.S. Income Tax Return for Seniors in Spanish. All IRM instructions for Form 1040 apply equally to Form 1040-SR, Form 1040(SP) and Form 1040-SR(SP). Form 1040-SR fields and line numbers are identical to Form 1040 with a larger font size and expanded form length. Form 1040(SP) and Form 1040-SR(SP) are Spanish-language versions of Form 1040 and Form 1040-SR with the same fields and line numbers as Form 1040. Although Form 1040A and Form 1040EZ may be filed for TY17 and prior, these forms must be converted to Form 1040 to be processed. Some information specific to Form 1040A and Form 1040EZ are included for processing these prior year returns. ERS section and error code screen displays have been realigned to follow the layout of TY25 Form 1040. Fields in Sections 01 - 05 are aligned as follows: Section 01 - Entity portion of TY25 Form 1040 Section 02 - Dependent information. Section 03 - TY25 Form 1040, page 1, line 1 through entire page 2 including paid preparer information. Section 04 - TY25 Form 1040, Schedule 1 Section 05 - TY25 Form 1040, Schedule 2 and 3 Section 88 - Form 3471 Edit Sheet. Section 94 includes all the verified fields that are applicable to fields in Sections 01 through 05. Throughout this manual, forms will be referred to by numbers and schedules will be referred to by letters and numbers. The following introductory information is contained in this subsection of the manual: General Guidelines Organization of Text

# Invalid Conditions (EC 012)

3.12.3.4.3.2 (01-01-2019) Invalid Conditions (EC 012) Error Code 012 generates when Field 94EXV is blank, and any of the following exist: The Secondary (Spouse) NAP Access Indicator is 2 or 9, and RPC E is not present. At least 1 Dependent's National Account Profile (NAP) Access Indicator is 2 or 9. At least 1 Child and Dependent Care dependent (Form 2441) has a NAP Access Indicator of 2 or 9. At least 1 EIC child (Schedule EIC) has a NAP Access Indicator of 2 or 9. The MeF Imperfect Return Indicator (1) is present in Field MEFII>. Note: The 1 indicates MeF may have accepted the tax return ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Note: A NAP Access Indicator of 2 means that the account is not present on the NAP, and a NAP Access Indicator of 9 means that there is a Name Control and SSN mismatch. The NAP contains entity information relating to Social Security Numbers and the Name Controls that belong to those SSNs. If the Name Control does not match the SSN, Error Code 012 will generate for correction. There is a validation process that takes place after the information is entered in ISRP.

# Correction Procedures (EC 012)

3.12.3.4.3.3 (01-01-2019) Correction Procedures (EC 012) Go to the bottom of the screen and transmit. Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. Use Field 01EXC to correct Code & Edit and transcription errors only. Use Field 94EXV when disallowing a dependent/exemption. Note: Field 94EXV Exemption Verified Field is for ERS Input only. It is to be used when the taxpayer has failed to provide a valid SSN/ITIN/ATIN for themselves, their spouse or dependents. Field 94EXV will be invalid if the entry is other than blank or numeric. When entering data in Field 94EXV, all eight positions must be entered. Reminder: When disallowing an exemption, other error codes may generate because of changes in the amount of Taxable Income, Total Tax and/or credits claimed. Exception: Beginning in TY18, there is no longer a monetary value associated with exemptions. However, the requirement for all persons listed on the tax return to have a valid TIN remains. Use the information from page 1, Form 1040 to help perfect information (SSNs and/or name controls) on all forms, schedules, and attachments and vice versa. If a dependent on page 1, Form 1040, can be determined to be the same person listed on any form, schedule, or attachment (i.e., same name), then correct the dependent/qualifying child based on the name found and vice versa. Example: If a dependent on the return has a name control that does not match its computer underprint and the same dependent is present on Schedule EIC with a name control that matches the computer underprint; then use the information from Schedule EIC to perfect the dependent's name control and/or SSN. FOR AUSPC ONLY- If the return has an ITIN in one of the following ranges: 9XX-50-XXXX through 9XX-65-XXXX 9XX-70-XXXX through 9XX-88-XXXX 9XX-90-XXXX through 9XX-92-XXXX 9XX-94-XXXX through 9XX-99-XXXX written in RED INK follow the instructions in the table below: If... And... Then... A] The name control for the Secondary or Dependent ITIN is underprinting with XXXX or a different name control, Note: This will be the only time that ERS researches a dependent. Go to the bottom of the screen and transmit. B] EC 012 redisplays, Research INOLET on the Secondary and Dependent ITIN. C] The Secondary taxpayer or the Dependent is found on INOLET with an asterisk, you can determine through research that the Secondary taxpayer or the dependent is the same person as on the return, Allow the exemption(s) using Field 94EXV. D] Secondary taxpayer is not found, or INOLET shows a different person, Research on NAMES, NAMEI, or the Real Time System (RTS) the Secondary ITIN that underprint with the name control XXXX or with a different name control. E] Dependent is not found, or INOLET shows a different person, Research on the Real Time System (RTS) the Dependent ITIN(s) that underprint with the name control XXXX or with a different name control. F] Research on the RTS shows the ITIN on the return for the Secondary and/or Dependent was assigned, Allow the exemption(s) using Field 94EXV. (Note the year of birth for each dependent). G] For Secondary or Dependent ITINs: If suspended or unworked is noted on the return, or RTS research shows Form W-7 in status S or U (Suspended or Unworked), Print the RTS screen and attach it to the front of the return. Note on Form 4227 the status and attach it to the return. SSPND 640 to ITIN. H] No Secondary or Dependent ITIN can be found on RTS, Disallow the exemption(s) using Field 94EXV and assign the appropriate TPNC. I] Information on the RTS account does not match Secondary or Dependent information on the return, Disallow the exemption(s) using Field 94EXV and assign the appropriate TPNC. J] RTS shows the ITIN status as revoked, Disallow the exemption(s) using Field 94EXV and assign the appropriate TPNC. K] The ITIN Operation established an incorrect name control for the Secondary taxpayer TIN, Research INOLES to determine if same taxpayer. Enter the name control from the underprint in Field 01PNC if the taxpayer is the same on the valid segment and claiming any of the following credits: • Child Tax Credit • Credit for Other Dependents • Education Credit • Earned Income Credit • Additional Child Tax Credit • American Opportunity Credit Enter E in Field 01RPC, if the taxpayer is the same on the valid segment and not claiming one of the credits listed above.

# Field 94EXV, Exemption Verified Field (EC 012)

3.12.3.4.3.4 (01-17-2017) Field 94EXV, Exemption Verified Field (EC 012) Field 94EXV is for ERS input only. All of the following conditions apply to Field 94EXV: Must be entered as all numeric. Will display as blank until an entry is made. All eight positions must be accounted for and entered. The number of allowable dependents must be entered in the appropriate positions. Use Field 94EXV when the taxpayer fails to provide a valid SSN/ITIN/ATIN (without a valid reason) for any of the following exemptions: Self Spouse Dependent(s) Enter 0 (zero) in the first position of Field 94EXV to disallow the exemption for the primary taxpayer if: RPC O or DSI 1 is present, and other entries are made in Field 94EXV. The primary taxpayer was disallowed in EC 004 or 005. Caution: One (1) in the first position of Field 94EXV will override the RPC O or DSI 1 and allow the exemption for the primary taxpayer. Enter 0 (zero) in the second position of Field 94EXV to disallow the exemption for the secondary taxpayer per the Secondary TIN instructions below (3.12.3.4.3.5). A child does not have to be claimed as an exemption to qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Credit or to be a qualifying EIC Child. Exemptions are not involved in the computation of Child and Dependent Care Credit or EIC. Enter C in the Clear Field when the taxpayer doesn't claim an exemption for the dependent(s) (Field 01EXC) but claims Child Care Credit and/or EIC.

# Secondary TIN (EC 012)

3.12.3.4.3.5 (04-01-2022) Secondary TIN (EC 012) Since TY96, secondary taxpayers have been required to have a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to qualify for an exemption. However, taxpayers are not required by law to change their names with the Social Security Administration (SSA). An invalid TIN is allowed for these taxpayers claiming an exemption, etc. If the taxpayer is using the SSN issued to them by SSA (or IRS if an ITIN) but their last name is now different, inputting RPC E indicates that the taxpayer on the return is the same taxpayer on the account using a different last name. Note: The validation process for all spouses is critical, including those that are not being claimed as dependents. Caution: For FSC 3 (Married Filing Separately) returns use the same instructions and research as specified in the following subsections, except for: Do not enter RPC E and do not enter 1 in the second position of Field 94EXV. Do not allow an exemption for an IRSN, which has the format 9XX-XX-XXXX. See (3) through (6) below. Exception: If the middle two numbers are 50-65, 70-88, 90-92, or 94-99 the number is an ITIN (9XX-50-XXXX through 9XX-65-XXXX, 9XX-70-XXXX through 9XX-88-XXXX, 9XX-90-XXXX through 9XX-92-XXXX, 9XX-94-XXXX through 9XX-99-XXXX) and is a valid TIN for the exemption. Check the return and attachments for a different SSN and/or last name that matches the underprint in Field 01SNC. If a different SSN or last name is found, use the following table to resolve the error. If... Then... A] A different SSN is found, Enter it in Field 01SS. B] An ITIN is found, Research INOLES for the ITIN Status Code. If the ITIN Status Code is "I" and you can determine the filer is the same as the taxpayer on the valid segment, enter the name control from the underprint in Field 01SNC. C] A last name is found that matches the Field 01SNC underprint, Enter the name control from the underprint in Field 01SNC if the taxpayer is claiming any of the following credits: • Child Tax Credit • Credit for Other Dependents • Education Credit • Earned Income Credit • Additional Child Tax Credit • American Opportunity Credit Enter E in Field 01RPC, if the taxpayer is not claiming one of the credits listed above. Note: RPC E indicates the taxpayer is using the SSN issued to them by SSA (or IRS if an ITIN) but their last name is now different, often because of marriage. Caution: Do not enter RPC E when the SSN is made up of consecutive or repeating numbers- 123-45-6789, 222-22-2222, for example. Disallow the exemption. If a different SSN or last name is not found on the return or attachments, research CC INOLE using the Primary TIN and the following table to resolve the error. If research on the Primary taxpayer's SSN indicates... Then... A] A different VALID SSN for the Secondary taxpayer (no * at the end of the SSN), Enter it in Field 01SS. B] The secondary taxpayer's TIN is an ITIN, Research INOLES for the ITIN Status Code. If the ITIN Status Code is "I" and you can determine the filer is the same as the taxpayer on the valid segment, enter the name control from the underprint in Field 01SNC. C] The secondary taxpayer on the return has previously filed a joint return (FSC 2) with the primary taxpayer (no * at the end of the SSN) or the name control matches, Enter the name control from the underprint in Field 01SNC if the taxpayer is claiming any of the following credits: • Child Tax Credit • Credit for Other Dependents • Education Credit • Earned Income Credit • Additional Child Tax Credit • American Opportunity Credit Enter E in Field 01RPC, if the taxpayer is not claiming one of the credits listed above. Caution: Do not enter RPC E when the SSN is made up of consecutive or repeating numbers- 123-45-6789, 222-22-2222, for example. Disallow the exemption. D] The secondary taxpayer on the return previously filed a joint return (FSC 2) with the primary taxpayer and there is an * at the end of the SSN, Research Secondary TIN using CC INOLE. Follow procedures in (6). Research the Secondary TIN using CC INOLE and the following table to resolve the error. If research on the Secondary taxpayer's SSN indicates... Then... A] The filer has an ITIN and INOLES shows the ITIN Status Code is "I" , and you can determine the filer is the same as the taxpayer on the valid segment, Enter the name control from the underprint in Field 01SNC. B] Any other name control (IMF, IRS, etc.) that matches the name the secondary taxpayer used on the return, Enter the name control from the underprint in Field 01SNC if the taxpayer is claiming any of the following credits: • Child Tax Credit • Credit for Other Dependents • Education Credit • Earned Income Credit • Additional Child Tax Credit • American Opportunity Credit Enter E in Field 01RPC, if the taxpayer is not claiming one of the credits listed above. Do not enter RPC E under any of the following conditions: The secondary taxpayer has an IRSN (temporary TIN). The taxpayer on the account is not the same taxpayer shown on the return. The SSN is made up of consecutive numbers in either direction or repeating identical numbers: 123-45-6789, 456-78-9123, 987-65-4321, 321-98-7654, 222-22-2222, 111-22-3333, for example. Caution: TINs that follow these patterns are at best exceedingly unlikely to be valid and are in fact frequently used fraudulently. Exercise great care in evaluating the validity of such TINs. Disallow the exemption by entering 0 (zero) in the second position of Field 94EXV if any of the conditions above are present. C] Information that matches the following information from the return: First name or initial Middle name or initial See B] Then above. D] The underprint for the secondary taxpayer matches the underprint of a dependent(s) and the dependent is valid, See B] Then above. E] The secondary taxpayer has previously filed with the primary and has no account at Master File (the TIN exists at SSA, but has only a name control), See B] Then above. F] An SSA or New SSA name control that matches the name the secondary taxpayer used on the return, Enter C in the Clear Field. If research on the Secondary taxpayer's SSN using CC INOLE does not show an IRS, IMF, SSA, or New SSA name control that matches the name control the secondary taxpayer used on the return or the secondary taxpayer has an IRSN (temporary TIN), then research using CC NAMEI or NAMES for a different, valid SSN/ITIN. Use the following table to resolve: If... Then... A] A different, valid SSN is located, Enter it in Field 01SS. B] A different, valid SSN is not located, Enter 0 (zero) in the second position of Field 94EXV. Note: When entering data in Field 94EXV, enter all allowable dependents in positions 1 through 8. Enter B in Field 01RPC, if EIC is claimed. Example: The return is a FSC 2 with 2 dependents. The secondary SSN is invalid and one of the dependent's SSN is also invalid. Enter data in Field 94EXV as follows: FIELD 01EXC 11200000 FIELD 94EXV 10100000

# Dependent TIN (EC 012)

3.12.3.4.3.6 (10-16-2024) Dependent TIN (EC 012) Transmit from the bottom of the screen. If EC 012 redisplays, follow the procedures below. Disallow the exemption when the SSN is consecutive or repeating numbers, for example 123-45-6789 or 222-22-2222. If any Dependent, Child and Dependent Care Child, or EIC Child has a NAP Access Indicator of 2 or 9 and their name control underprints with the primary or secondary taxpayer's name control, or matches the primary or secondary taxpayer's name(s) on the return, change that child's name control to match the underprint. If a Dependent NAP Access Indicator is 2 or 9, and none of the preceding applies, enter the number of allowable dependents in Field 94EXV by totaling the number of exemptions claimed in positions 3 through 8 of Field 01EXC and subtracting the sum of all dependents that have a NAP Access Indicator 2 or 9, or didn't provide a valid reason for not providing an SSN. Example: Four dependents were claimed, one dependent's NAP Access Indicator is 2 and another dependent's TIN is missing; Example: Field 01EXC 10400000 Field 94EXV 10200000 When more than four dependent SSNs are present on the return or if 1 is present in Field MEFII> (MeF Imperfect Return Indicator), use the following instructions: Note: Field MEFII>1 indicates MeF may have accepted the tax return ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ If there are four or fewer dependents and Field MEFII> is 1, GTSEC 94 and enter the number of allowable dependents with valid TINs in Field 94EXV, and enter the number of eligible dependents for each credit in Field 94CEV and Field 94DEV. Research the remaining dependents using CC INOLE to determine if their TIN is valid. Reminder: If the dependent SSN is valid, check the tax return to see if the child tax credit box was checked for that dependent. If so, also determine if the dependent is under age 17, while you are already in CC INOLE. GTSEC 94, enter the number of allowable dependents in Field 94EXV, and enter the number of eligible dependents for each credit in Field 94CEV and 94DEV. If there are no valid dependents present and the FSC is 4, determine if the taxpayer qualifies for the filing status without dependents (See EC 034 for instruction). If the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 4 without dependents, change Field 01FSC to 7. If the taxpayer does not qualify, change Field 01FSC to 1 If there are no valid dependents present and the FSC is 5, determine if the taxpayer qualifies for the filing status without dependents (See EC 034 for instruction). If the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 4 without dependents (ex. date of death more than two years prior to tax period), change 01FSC to 7. If the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 5, enter C in the Clear Field. If the Child and Dependent Care Credit or EIC Child(ren) SSNs are invalid and are not the same children claimed as dependents, enter the number of allowable dependents claimed in Field 01EXC in Field 94EXV.

# Prior Year (EC 012)

3.12.3.4.3.7 (01-01-2017) Prior Year (EC 012) For TY96 and later - Ensure all invalid conditions have been addressed before entering Field 94EXV. When EC 012 generates, all invalid SSN conditions will be displayed for missing Secondary, Dependent, Child and Dependent Care Credit, or EIC SSNs. For TY95 and prior, ensure the exemptions in Field 01EXC were entered correctly, then enter the exemptions from Field 01EXC in Field 94EXV.

Caution: Field 94EXV may have been used to resolve Error Codes 010, 012, 013, and 015. If an exemption was disallowed in a previous error code, leave as disallowed. Review the ITIN Status Codes for the following Fields: 01PIC> 01SIC> 02DC1> 02DC2> 02DC3> 02DC4> Review the fields listed in (4) to determine if the ITIN listed has an ITIN Status Code of "I" . If the ITIN Status Code is "I" , use Field 94EXV to disallow the exemption. Reminder: If RPC O is present, enter 0 (zero) in the first position to disallow the primary taxpayer. If the ITIN Status Code is "U" for any of the fields in (4), allow the exemption. If a child, research to determine a child's date of birth for each ITIN Status Code U, prior to allowing or disallowing the Child Tax Credit and/or Additional Child Tax Credit. Note: The ITIN Status of "U=Unvalidated" is systemically generated at the beginning of 2016 on DM-1 only for all ITINs with zeros in the date of birth. If more than 4 dependents are present, research the dependents with an ITIN using INOLES for the ITIN Status Code. If the ITIN Status Code is "I" or if the TIN is invalid, use Field 94EXV to disallow the dependent. Review the Child Care ITIN Status Code in Fields 21CC1> and 21CC2>. If the ITIN Status Code is "I" , enter only the number of Qualifying Individuals in Field 21QI. It is not necessary to enter 0 (zero), just blank Field 21QI.

# Correction Procedures (EC 019)

3.12.3.4.10.3 (01-01-2026) Correction Procedures (EC 019) Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. Caution: Field 94EXV may have been used to resolve Error Codes 010, 012, 013, 015, 017, and 018. If an exemption was disallowed in the previous error codes, leave as disallowed. If a dependent date of birth is greater than the tax period of the return (for example: child's date of birth is 01-15-2023 and tax period is 2022), enter the number of allowable dependents in Field 94EXV. Total the number of exemptions claimed in positions 3 through 8 of Field 01EXC and subtract the sum of all dependents that have a date of birth greater than the tax period of the return. Example: 4 dependents were claimed, one dependent's date of birth is greater than the tax period of the return: Example: Field 01EXC 10400000 Field 94EXV 10300000 If a Child Care qualifying person's NAP Date of Birth is greater than the tax period of the return, GTSEC 21 and enter the number of eligible qualifying individuals for Child Care Credit in Field 21QI. If EC 280 displays, assign TPNC 708 (TY17 and prior, assign TPNC 606). Caution: Field 21QI may have been used to resolve Error Code 017 for an expired ITIN. If the dependent was disallowed in EC 017, leave as disallowed. If a Child Tax Credit/Additional Child Tax Credit child's (dependent) date of birth is after the tax period of the return, GTSEC 01 and enter 0 (zero) in Field 02CT1/2/3/4 of the appropriate child. If EC 299 and/or 344/345 display, assign TPNC 708 (TY17 and prior, assign TPNC 606). If a Schedule EIC Child's NAP Date of Birth is after the tax period of the return and the child is not being claimed as a dependent on the return, delete the SSN from Field 43SS1/2/3, as appropriate. If EC 337 displays, assign TPNC 750. If there are more than four dependent SSNs present on the return and all four of the transcribed SSNs have a NAP Access Indicator of 2 or 9, validate the other dependents using CC INOLE. Enter the number of allowable dependents in Field 94EXV. Note: If it is determined that a Child and Dependent Care Credit dependent or an EIC child's TIN is invalid and the same child is listed as a fifth or subsequent dependent, adjust positions 3 through 8 of Field 94EXV accordingly. If no valid dependents are present in Field 94EXV (positions 3 through 8 are 0 (zero) and Field 01FSC is 4, determine if the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 4 without dependents (see IRM 3.12.3.6.2, EC 034). If the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 4 without dependents, change Field 01FSC to 7. If the taxpayer does not qualify, change Field 01FSC to 1. If no valid dependents are present in Field 94EXV (positions 3 through 8 are 0 (zero)) and Field 01FSC is 5, determine if the taxpayer qualifies, see IRM 3.12.3.6.2, EC 034. If the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 5, enter C in the Clear Field. If the Child and Dependent Care Credit or EIC Child(ren) TINs are invalid and are not the same children claimed as dependents enter the number of dependents claimed in Field 01EXC in Field 94EXV. If RPC O or DSI 1 is present, and entries are made in Field 94EXV, enter 0 (zero) in the first position of Field 94EXV to disallow the exemption for the primary taxpayer. For TY95 and prior, ensure that the exemptions transcribed in Field 01EXC were entered correctly, then enter the exemptions in Field 01EXC into Field 94EXV. If a change to Field 94EXV causes a change to taxable income, assign TPNC 708 when Error Code 250 displays. (TY17 and prior, assign TPNC 606.) When all required actions have been taken and EC 019 redisplays, enter C in the Clear Field.

Taxpayers who want the IRS to compute their tax for them are instructed to compute the return through the taxable income and any specific credit and payment entries that are applicable to them. The computer will generate a 2 in Field 02NC> when it determines that the return has not been computed by the taxpayer. The ERS tax examiner will review the return to determine if it is or is not a computed return and use the instructions that follow to resolve the error condition. Note: Non-Compute returns generate a notice telling the taxpayer that we figured their tax for them. It is important to identify and correct returns that have been incorrectly identified by the computer as Non-Compute (i.e., the taxpayer has computed the tax to zero) to avoid the issuance of unnecessary notices.

# Correction Procedures (EC 123)

3.12.3.13.5.3 (01-01-2020) Correction Procedures (EC 123) Read all instructions for this error code. Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. When Field 02NC> displays with a 2, determine from the return if the Tax and/or Balance Due/Refund has been computed to zero by the taxpayer or if the taxpayer is asking IRS to figure the tax. See IRM 3.12.2.5.12, Field 02NC> Non-Compute Code. If the taxpayer has computed the tax to zero, has entered an amount for withholding and no subsequent entries (i.e., taxpayer is not asking IRS to figure EIC), and does not have an entry on line 35a, enter the withholding amount in Field 03BDR. If the taxpayer has computed the tax and/or Balance Due/Refund to zero, enter B in Field 01CCC. If the taxpayer is asking IRS to figure their tax for them and it is determined that the return is a true Non-Compute return, enter C in the Clear Field.

# Field 02NC> Non-Compute Code (EC 123)

3.12.3.13.5.4 (01-01-2026) Field 02NC> Non-Compute Code (EC 123) Description-The programming generates the Non-Compute Code 2 when it identifies a return that the taxpayer apparently wants the IRS to figure. Taxpayers who want the IRS to compute their tax complete only the following lines: TY25 Form 1040 - Lines 1 through 15 plus any applicable lines from 19, 20, 23, 25a through 32, and Schedules 1 through 3. TY24 Form 1040 - Lines 1 through 15 plus any applicable lines from 19, 20, 23, 25a through 32, and Schedules 1 through 3. TY23 Form 1040 - Lines 1 through 15 plus any applicable lines from 19, 20, 23, 25a through 32, and Schedules 1 through 3. The taxpayers must not compute the tax liability and balance due/refund, and they may attach only certain forms and schedules. Exception: Section 01-05, 08, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 27, 29, 30, 37, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 54, 56, 67, 79 and 88 may be present. Further rules for filing as a Non-Compute are explained in Publication 17. Field 02NC> will display with a 2 (identifying the return as a Non-Compute) when all of the following exist: Adjusted Gross Income is present, and Total Tax IMF, Balance Due/Refund, Estimated Tax Payments, Estimated Tax Penalty and Remittance Amount are not present. Computer Condition Code B is not present. Taxpayer does not exceed tax table limitations for income. Only Sections 01-05, 08, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 27, 29, 30, 37, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 54, 56, 67, 79 and 88 are present. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ A return processed as a Non-Compute return generates a CP 51 notice to the taxpayer. The CP 51 informs the taxpayer that the IRS figured their tax for them. Error Codes in the 500 and 600 series will also be generated on all Non-Compute returns. Correction Procedures - Determine from the return if the Tax and/or Balance Due/Refund has been computed to zero by the taxpayer or if the taxpayer is asking IRS to figure the tax. A dash (-), a 0 (zero), or "none" written on any of the lines is an indication the taxpayer computed their own return. Enter B in Field 01CCC when you can determine that the taxpayer has computed their return. A CCC B will prevent the return from being identified as a Non-Compute. Note: This practice is recommended because it reduces the number of unnecessary CPs 51. Correct all field errors when the return is identified as a true Non-Compute and the taxpayer has done all the following: Completed all lines through Taxable Income. Entered any withholding. Entered any applicable lines thereafter (except the total lines). Wrote "CFE" , if applicable, on the dotted line next to the line for Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled and attached the schedule with the appropriate lines completed. Wrote "EIC" , if applicable, to the left of the Earned Income Credit line and attached the schedule with the appropriate lines completed. Assign TPNC 218 when a return appears to be a Non-Compute, but does not meet the criteria (e.g., "prior-year return" , Schedule A present, Schedule C present, etc.). Field 02NC> will be blank. Verify the coding and transcription on all the fields in the following table. Take the appropriate action listed in the table when necessary before transmitting the record: Verify Field(s)... And... Then... 01FSC The taxpayer failed to check or checked multiple boxes for the FS, SSPND 211 using Form 6001 (F) 01EXC You are unable to arrive at the taxpayer's total for exemptions, SSPND 211 using Form 6001 (F) 03ABI You are unable to arrive at the taxpayer's total for Age/Blind deduction(s), Refer to EC 250. 03DSI You are unable to determine if the taxpayer is limiting the Standard Deduction or Exemption amount, Refer to EC 250. Section 03 Verification of wages, from W-2s shows the amount of wages is greater than the amount reported on the return by $10 or more, Increase the wages amount. (Continue processing if amount is less than what is reported on the return.)

# General Information (EC 137)

3.12.3.14.2.3 (01-01-2017) General Information (EC 137) TY06 and later - The taxpayer may get their refund directly deposited into one account using the direct deposit information on the return or get their refund directly deposited in up to three accounts using Form 8888. Direct Deposit is allowed only on returns where the direct deposit information is complete and unaltered (unless it can be substantiated by the presence of a voided check from the taxpayer). A letter is generated for returns containing incomplete information. This letter explains to the taxpayer that their request for direct deposit was rejected and that a refund check will be mailed to them. This letter must not be sent if it is obvious the taxpayer made no entries in the direct deposit area of the return. Altering of the direct deposit information after completion of the return by the taxpayer has caused great concern. There is no way to determine who altered the information. For that reason, if the direct deposit information has been altered in any way, such as whited out, marked through, written over, or is illegible, then the altered information must be deleted from the fields to force generation of the letter mentioned previously. There will be no exceptions to this unless the information can be substantiated by the presence of a voided check from the taxpayer. Note: Do not DLSEC 06/56. Section 06 or 56 must be present for the system to generate a letter to the taxpayer regarding direct deposit information.

3.12.3.21.7.10 (03-14-2025) Field 1704B, Optional Method Income Amount (EC 209) This field is for ERS Input Only. It is used when the taxpayer is using one or both optional methods. If the taxpayer has used the optional method, an amount is present on line 15 or 17 and line 4b. The optional method is usually recognizable by the entry of $7,240(TY24, $6,920 TY23, $6,560 ) on line 4b of Schedule SE. If the taxpayer is using only the optional method, an optional method code must be entered in Field 17MCD. The optional method code will suppress the math process that reduces self-employment income by .9235 for the entry on line 4b. Note: The self-employment optional method is designed to allow taxpayers to contribute to Social Security even if they have a net loss or only a small profit. This allows them to make contributions to Social Security even in years in which they are not liable, so that they will have benefits available when they retire. Use the following table when the taxpayer is using the optional method: If the optional method is... And... Then... A] For a loss and paying SE Tax, Loss is from a farm, Enter 2 in Field 17MCD.

Note: For more detailed and specific instructions regarding the "Optional Method" see EC 090. Taxpayers with farm and non-farm SE income may elect to compute SE tax by using both the regular and optional methods. These Schedules SE typically show an entry on lines 3 and 4b of Schedule SE. The computer cannot accurately figure the SE tax in these cases. Modify the record according to the following steps. Complete all actions before transmitting the changes. Divide the amount on line 6 by .9235 and enter the result in either Field 1701A for farm income or Field 1702 for non-farm income. (If a loss is included in line 6, add that amount as a positive, and adjust Field 1701A/1702.) Adjust the figure in Field 17TE so that it includes the sum of the modified and original income in Fields 1701A, 1701B, and 1702. Delete the figure from Field 1704B.

# Gross Social Security Benefits (EC 214)

3.12.3.22.1.4 (03-04-2025) Gross Social Security Benefits (EC 214) Field 03GSS is transcribed from line 6a, Form 1040 and is a dollars only field. Taxpayers sometimes enter the gross Social Security benefits in dollars and cents. ISRP operators occasionally transcribe the dollars and cents, and the line separating them as a number. Reminder: Ensure transcription is correct in Fields 03GSS and 03TSS before proceeding. If no amount is present for gross Social Security on Form 1040, line 6a: Enter the gross amount in Field 03GSS from Form SSA-1099, box 5, if attached. Research CC IRPTR for SSA data. (Refer to Command Code IRPTR in Job Aid Book 2515-015.) • If current year SSA data is found, enter the gross Social Security Benefit amount in Field 03GSS. If FSC 2, research IRPTR for SSA data for secondary taxpayer. If EC 214 redisplays, assign TPNC 131. Caution: If the record in IRPTR shows any repayment(s), subtract it from the amount marked with PENS/ANN. The difference is the gross amount of Social Security payments. • If IRPTR shows Social Security is disability payments, move the amount from Field 03TSS to wages, Field 03WG and Field 03TWG, and delete amount in Field 03TSS. If EC 218 displays, assign TPNC 114. • If current year IRPTR is not available, SSPND 211 for total Social Security benefits amount. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph Q. If Form 1040, line 6a is a negative amount and the taxpayer; included the amount in total income, correspond for an explanation. did not include the amount in total income, delete the entry in Field 03GSS. TY20 only, if UCE is noted on Schedule 1, line 8, enter the taxable Social Security amount on Form 1040, line 6b, in Field 94TSV. Exception: If there is a previous math error, manually compute the taxable Social Security without using the negative UCE amount from Schedule 1, line 8, and enter the correct amount in Field 94TSV. If the same amount is present for gross (line 6a/5a) and taxable (line 6b) Social Security and there is no clear indication that the amount is Unemployment Compensation, research CC IRPTR (current year, if available, or the previous year's data) to locate the gross Social Security amount. Use the following table for specific instructions: If IRPTR data... And... Then... A] Is not available (current or previous year), or doesn't show Social Security benefits, SSPND 211.

# Taxable Social Security Benefits (EC 214)

3.12.3.22.1.5 (10-16-2024) Taxable Social Security Benefits (EC 214) Field 03TSS is transcribed from line 6b, Form 1040. This field underprints with the computer's amount when it disagrees with the transcribed amount. Note: An entry in Field 0803 affects the computation of taxable Social Security. Before assigning TPNC 131, ensure this field truly represents excludable savings bond interest (i.e., Form 8815 is attached to the return). If FSC is other than 3 or 6, the computer determines the Social Security amount by following the formula shown in Job Aid 2515-015.

The computer will limit the IRA deduction to zero. However, for purposes of calculating the taxable Social Security, the computer will not limit the IRA deduction to zero; but will limit it to the lesser of the taxpayer's figure or the maximum IRA deduction amount based on filing status and the tax year. The computation for taxable Social Security should still be correct even though the maximum IRA deduction amount was applied instead of zero. If a case is found to differ, assign TPNC 149. When the taxpayer's entry for Gross and Taxable Social Security are the same and there is a clear indication that the amount is actually Unemployment Compensation (e.g., Form 1099-G is attached), move the amount from Field 03TSS to Field 0407. Delete the entry from the Gross Social Security Field 03GSS. If the amount is from attached Form 1099-R, move the amount from Field 03TSS to the Taxable Pensions/Annuities Field 03TPA. Delete the entry from the Gross Social Security Field 03GSS. When the Social Security amount is for disability and the taxpayer notates any reference to 9/11 or "IRC 104(a)(5), Pub 3920" , enter the amount in Field 03TSS in Field 94TSV. Use the following table when a negative amount is claimed by the taxpayer for Social Security Benefits: If the negative amount is... And... Then...

For TY16 - TY13, Schedule A has two Fields 0703A> and 0703B> displaying the percentage of the AGI allowed by the computer based on the information provided by the taxpayer on the return. Schedule A, line 3, has instructions to use either 10 percent or 7.5 percent if the taxpayer (either taxpayer if FSC 2) was born before January 2, 1952 for TY16 (1951 for TY15, 1950 for TY14, 1949 for TY13). Field 0703A> will display 10 percent of the AGI. Field 0703B> will display 7.5 percent of the AGI. TY16 - TY13, if the taxpayer used 7.5 percent to compute line 3, Field 03ABI does not have a "1" in position 1 or 3 of Field 03ABI, and Field 01PYB or 01SYB is before January 2, 1952 for TY16 (1951 for TY15, 1950 for TY14, 1949 for TY13), take the following actions: Manually compute Schedule A, line 4, using 7.5 percent of AGI. Subtract the computed amount from Field 0701, and enter the amount in Field 0704V, or If a previous math error displayed changing the AGI, manually compute Schedule A, line 4, using 7.5 percent of the new AGI amount (AGI Computer) and enter the amount in Field 0704V. TY16 - TY13, if FSC is 4 and Field 0704 does not agree with the computer underprint, search the return for the following information: MeF Returns - On the left side of the EUP/RRD screen, search for a notation entitled "GEN DEP" or a notation of why the taxpayer is using 7.5 percent on line 3. Click on the notation. If the taxpayer indicates they are eligible for 7.5 percent because their spouse meets the age requirements, manually compute Schedule A, line 4 using 7.5 percent of AGI, or if a previous math error displayed changing the AGI, manually compute using 7.5 percent of the new AGI amount (AGI computer) and enter the amount in Field 0704V. If a notation is not found regarding a spouse, assign TPNC 763. Paper returns - Search for a notation why the taxpayer is using 7.5 percent on line 3. If the taxpayer indicates they are eligible for 7.5 percent because their spouse meets the age requirements, manually compute Schedule A, line 4, using 7.5 percent of AGI, or if a previous math error displayed changing the AGI, manually compute using 7.5 percent of the new AGI amount (AGI computer) and enter amount in Field 0704V. If there is no indication the spouse meets the age requirement, assign TPNC 763. Note: FSC 4 filers whose spouse files as FSC 3 (separate) can claim the 7.5 percent rate if the taxpayer filing FSC 3 is 65 or over. TY16 - TY13, if line 3, Schedule A, does not match either Field 0703A> or 0703B>, take the following actions: Determine if the taxpayer should have used 7.5 percent or 10 percent to compute line 3. If Field 03ABI does not have a "1" in position 1 or 3 of Field 03ABI, and Field 01PYB or 01SYB is after January 1, 1952 for TY16 (1951 for TY15, 1950 for TY14, 1949 for TY13), compute line 3 using 10 percent. Otherwise, use 7.5 percent. Subtract the computed amount from Field 0701, and enter in Field 0704V. When there is an amount on Schedule A, line 4, and line 1 is blank, back into the entry for Field 0701 using the AGI on line 2. Take the following actions: Compute line 3 using 10 percent of the AGI, unless Field 03ABI has a "1" in position 1 or 3 or the taxpayer (FSC 2, either taxpayer) was born before January 2, 1952 for TY16 (1951 for TY15, 1950 for TY14, 1949 for TY13), than compute line 3 using 7.5 percent. Add lines 3 and 4 together. Enter the sum in Field 0701. For TY12 and prior, ERS programming cannot compute Total Medical Deduction. Manually compute Total Medical Deduction using 7.5 percent and enter in Field 0704V. If previous math error displayed changing AGI, recompute Schedule A, line 4, and enter in Field 0704V. If the taxpayer used the wrong percentage to compute line 3, assign TPNC 763. If EC 246 displays, assign TPNC 763.

# Prior Year (EC 246)

3.12.3.23.7.8 (04-25-2022) Prior Year (EC 246) For TY17 - TY13, the Schedule A total itemized deductions should be limited when the AGI exceeds the threshold for the filing status. The computer cannot accurately compute the limit for these tax periods. If the taxpayer limited their Itemized Deductions when they shouldn't have, manually compute itemized deductions, and enter in Field 0717V. Assign TPNC 187.

Note: If a previous math error is present and AGI exceeds the applicable threshold, manually compute the limited Itemized Deductions amount, and enter it in Field 0717V. TY13-TY17, there are situations where an AGI of over one million dollars is present along with a Schedule A when the computer cannot accurately compute the Schedule A amount. This is occurring specifically when the taxpayer has included amounts on line 28 of Schedule A that are for other than gambling losses and casualty and theft losses. In these cases, manually compute the Schedule A and enter the total in Field 0717V. If the taxpayer has not limited the Schedule A and should have, because the AGI is more than the amount in the table above (1) by tax year and filing status), use the Itemized Deductions Worksheet found in the Prior Year Job Aid to compute the limited total itemized deductions. Use (1) above to determine the correct amount to use on line 6 of the worksheet. Enter the correct amount in Field 0717V. If EC 246 redisplays, assign TPNC 186.

# Field 03ABI, Age/Blindness Indicator (EC 250)

3.12.3.23.10.6 (01-01-2026) Field 03ABI, Age/Blindness Indicator (EC 250) Taxpayers check the Age/Blind boxes to indicate if they and/or their spouse is age 65 or over or blind to qualify for the additional standard deduction. Note: The age/blind checkboxes are located on page 2 of Form 1040. The computer will automatically include the additional standard deduction amount applicable to the filing status in Field 01FSC and the entries in Field 03ABI in Field 03ASD>. Field 03ABI is four spaces long. The value for an unchecked box is zero. The value for a checked box is the number one (1). The table below describes the function of each element of the field. Position Code Condition 1 1 Primary taxpayer 65 or older 2 1 Primary taxpayer blind 3 1 Secondary taxpayer 65 or older 4 1 Secondary taxpayer blind The addition to the standard deduction differs by filing status, and each eligible taxpayer may take up to two additions. TY25, a single taxpayer who is blind and older than age 65, for instance, might add $4,000 (2 x $2,000) to the standard deduction for the filing status single. Filing Status TY25 Addition to the Standard Deduction TY24 Addition to the Standard Deduction TY23 Addition to the Standard Deduction 1 $2,000 $1,950 $1,850 2/5 $1,600 $1,550 $1,500 3/6 $1,600 $1,550 $1,500 4/7 $2,000 $1,950 $1,850 When the taxpayer takes an amount on line 12e that is equal to a "combined amount" of standard deduction and additional standard deduction (TY25 amounts shown in the chart in paragraph 8) but doesn't check a box for age 65 or older, or blind on page 2 of Form 1040, determine if the taxpayer meets the criteria for age or blindness in a) - c). Field 01PYB>/01SYB> shows the taxpayer is 65 or older (born before January 2, 1961 for TY25). Note: When Field 01PYB> or 01SYB> displays all zeros, see paragraph 6 below. Certificate of blindness is attached. An entry on Schedule R that indicates the taxpayer is blind or age 65 or older. Use the following table to resolve when line 12e is equal to a "combined amount" of the standard/additional standard deduction and Age/Blind boxes are not checked. If... Then... A] The taxpayer meets the criteria for age or blindness, Enter 1 in Field 03ABI for each box the taxpayer qualifies for. Assign TPNC 192 if the taxpayer's amount still differs from the computer amount. B] The taxpayer doesn't meet the criteria for age or blindness, Assign TPNC 194. When Field 01PYB> or 01SYB> displays all zeros and you can't determine the correct coding for Field 03ABI, GTSEC 02 and enter R in Field 02RI. If the date still doesn't display in the field(s) and the amount on line 12e equals the standard deduction with the addition for age or blindness for the filing status, research CC INOLE to determine the taxpayer's age. Enter the age of the primary taxpayer in Field 94PAV and the age of the secondary taxpayer in Field 94SAV. If the taxpayer's entry for the standard deduction is inconsistent with the standard deduction for the taxpayer's filing status, correct Field 03ABI using the following table.

If... And... Then... A] The amount on line 12 is larger than the standard deduction and/or additional standard deduction for the filing status, Schedule A is attached, GTSEC 07 and enter Schedule A. B] The amount on line 12 is larger than the standard deduction and/or additional standard deduction for the filing status, Schedule A is not attached, SSPND 211 for Schedule A. C] The amount on line 12 is smaller than the standard deduction and/or additional standard deduction for the filing status, Schedule A is not attached, Assign TPNC 194. If the taxpayer checks one or more of the boxes for age or blindness and meets the criteria, but doesn't take the correct addition to the standard deduction and Schedule A is not present, allow the additional standard deduction and assign TPNC 192. If the entry on line 12 is equal to a standard deduction with an addition for age or blindness for the tax year (TY25 in paragraph 8 above), but for a different FSC than the FSC on the return, assign TPNC 194. When FSC is 3 and the taxpayer has checked any box for age or blindness for the spouse, delete the spousal indicators from Field 03ABI. If EC 250 redisplays, assign TPNC 194 along with any other required TPNCs.

# Field 03SD> and Field 03ASD> (EC 250)

3.12.3.23.10.7 (01-03-2023) Field 03SD> and Field 03ASD> (EC 250) Taxpayers elect to use the standard deduction, additional standard deduction, or itemized deductions on Form 1040, line 12e , to reduce their taxable income. Compare the taxpayer's entry on Form 1040, line 12e , with Fields 03SD>/03ASD>. Note: These fields are computer-generated and are not correctable. To change the amount in these computer-generated fields, corrections must be made in the transcribable fields of EC 250. See the following specific field instructions for the correction of fields that will generate a correction of line 12e. Refer to Field 03ABI correction procedures when the amount on line 12e was figured using the age/blind criteria. Refer to Married Filing Separately and Spouse Itemizes/Dual Status Alien Checkbox correction procedures when the amount on line 12 was figured using FSC 3 and Schedule A. If the taxpayer is not FSC 3, doesn't check the spouse itemizes box, doesn't attach Schedule A, and entered an amount less than the standard deduction, assign TPNC 194. If the taxpayer is reporting a casualty loss sustained from a federally declared disaster that occurred in 2016, 2018, 2019 (before 12/21/2019), 2020, or 2021 (before 2/26/2021), or from Hurricane Harvey, Tropical Storm Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, or the California wildfires in 2017 and January 2018, follow the procedures below. If both Form 4684 and Schedule A are present, ensure they are transcribed, and the disaster loss is present in Field 0716. Enter D in Field 01FPC. Note: Taxpayers who are not claiming any other itemized deductions on Schedule A can include their standard deduction amount with their disaster loss on Schedule A, line 16, and transfer that total to Form 1040, line 12e. The amount on Schedule A, line 16, must be identified as such. If either Form 4684 or Schedule A are not present, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using the appropriate paragraph. If both Form 4684 and Schedule A are not present, and taxpayer's amount on line 12e of Form 1040 is greater than the standard deduction/additional standard deduction amount, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #35. If a previous math error is present, manually compute the taxable income and enter the computed amount in Field 94INV.

# Field 03DSI, Dependent Status Indicator (EC 250)

3.12.3.23.10.8 (01-01-2026) Field 03DSI, Dependent Status Indicator (EC 250) When the dependent status indicator box is checked, enter 1 in Field 03DSI. Note: A dependent status indicator checkbox is located on page 2 of Form 1040. Exception: If FSC is 1, 3, 4, 5, or 7 and the DSI box is checked for the secondary but the DSI box for the primary is not checked, then delete the entry in Field 03DSI. The dependent status indicator (DSI) is used to tell the computer that the person filing the tax return can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return. When the DSI code is present, the standard deduction amount may be limited, depending on the taxpayer's income. The following are indications of a dependent being claimed on someone else's tax return: "Student" or "minor" is shown as occupation (or in the entity). A parent's signature is present. Form 8615 is attached. The taxpayer has earned income of less than $10,000. The taxpayer has used a limited standard deduction amount. Taxpayers who can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return can't claim any dependents. Exception: If the FSC is 2 and there is no tax liability [tentative tax on line 16 is blank, zero, or a negative amount] when claiming only one dependent (other is a DSI), allow the other spouse dependent using Field 94EXV. Enter 0 (zero) in positions 1 and 3 through 8 or positions 2 through 8, based on the exemption being allowed in Field 94EXV. Enter 00 in Fields 94CEV and 94DEV. Taxpayers who are claimed as a dependent by another person may be required to limit their standard deduction if their earned income is less than the standard deduction for their filing status. The minimum standard deduction amount is $1,350 (TY24 $1,300; TY23 $1,250 ). Even taxpayers with no earned income are still entitled to a minimum of $1,350(TY24 $1,300, TY23 $1,250). If the taxpayer has earned income, the standard deduction amount is the larger of $1,350 (TY24 $1,300, TY23 $1,250,) or earned income plus $450 (TY23-TY22 $400, TY21-TY19, $350), up to the full standard deduction amount ($15,000 for FSC 1 in TY25). For example, on a TY25 return: If the taxpayer has earned income of $1,350, add $450 to that and the limited standard deduction is $1,850. If the taxpayer has earned income of only $600 plus $450 = $1,050. However, the limited standard deduction is $1,350 because that is the TY25 minimum standard deduction amount. If the taxpayer has earned income of $15,200, the taxpayer is entitled to $15,000, which is the TY25 full standard deduction amount for Filing Status 1. Wages, salaries, certain "other income" , tips, and professional fees are considered "earned income" (for examples, see the Earned Income Section of Job Aid Book 2515-015). Schedule E, Rental and Partnership Income, or Schedule C or F Income may or may not be earned income. Follow the taxpayer's intent. The portion of any stipend, scholarship, or fellowship grant that represents payment for teaching, research, or other services are also considered earned income. Any amount of non-compensatory stipend, scholarship, or fellowship grant (TY22 and later, reported on Schedule 1, line 8r; TY21 and prior, identified by "SCH" on the wages line), that is includable in gross income constitutes earned income only for purposes of the standard deduction. Include the non-compensatory stipend, scholarship, or fellowship grant in earned income for the purpose of figuring the allowable standard deduction. When earned income is present on the return, that is not included as Wages, Schedule C, or Schedule F income, take the following actions: Note: Refer to the Standard Deduction Worksheet for Dependents in Job Aid Book 2515-015 to calculate the correct limited standard deduction amount. Recompute earned income. Compare to Total Itemized Deductions, if Schedule A is present. If both the earned income and the itemized deductions are less than the Total Standard Deduction for FSC claimed, use whichever is greater. Enter the results in the appropriate fields. Caution: Do not use Field 94EIV to verify earned income for the purpose of computing the limited standard deduction amount (Field 94SDV). Use the procedures in the following (9). When a "DSI" return has "Other Income" in Field 04OTI from Schedule 1, line 8z , use the procedures in the following table. If the "Other Income" is… And… Then… A] "≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡" ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Schedule SE is not attached, Enter N in Field 01RPC. Exception: If the taxpayer notes wages from parent, paper carrier, child's non-SE earned income, or similar statement, do not enter RPC N. Instead, enter this amount and any other earned income plus $450 up to the allowable standard deduction amount in Field 94SDV. B] Earned and non-earned income, The taxpayer's total of earned income (including line 1) is less than the basic standard deduction, Enter the total earned income amount plus $450 in Field 94SDV. [Minimum of $1,350 , see the preceding (5)] C] "Earned Income" ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, The taxpayers total of earned income (including line 1) is less than the basic standard deduction, Enter the total earned income amount plus $450 in Field 94SDV. [Minimum of $1,350, see the preceding (5)]. Use the following table for correction procedures for Field 03DSI. If the Filing Status is… And… Then… A] FSC 1, The taxpayer did not check the dependent status indicator checkbox on page 2 of Form 1040, and, The taxpayer has limited the standard deduction (or has enough income so that the standard deduction is not limited), Enter 1 in Field 03DSI, when there is an indication that the taxpayer is claimed on someone else's return. Note: See the preceding (3) for indications of dependents claimed on someone else's return. B] FSC 1, The taxpayer has checked the dependent status indicator checkbox on page 2 of Form 1040, and, The taxpayer didn't limit the standard deduction (or has enough income so that the standard deduction is not limited), Delete the DSI code when information on the return (e.g., occupation, income amount or signature) indicates the taxpayer is entitled to the full standard deduction. Assign the appropriate TPNC. C] FSC 2, The taxpayers checked either the primary or secondary dependent status indicator box on page 2 of Form 1040, and A tax liability exists (tentative tax), Delete the DSI code and transmit. Assign TPNC 198. Exception: Enter 1 in Field 03DSI if there is no tax liability (tentative tax is zero/blank/negative). D] FSC 3 or 5, The taxpayer has checked the dependent status indicator checkbox on page 2 of Form 1040, Delete entry in Field 03DSI if present. Assign the appropriate TPNC. E] FSC 4, The taxpayer has checked the dependent status indicator checkbox on page 2 of Form 1040, Change FSC to 1. Assign TPNC 110, if EC 250 redisplays. Note: When unable to determine the proper coding, SSPND 211 with Form 5129. If the taxpayer, who can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return, made an error figuring their standard deduction amount, assign TPNC 191. If there is no entry for standard deduction on Form 1040, line 12e, assign TPNC 194.

# Married Filing Separately and Spouse Itemizes or Dual Status Alien Checkbox (EC 250)

3.12.3.23.10.9 (04-25-2022) Married Filing Separately and Spouse Itemizes or Dual Status Alien Checkbox (EC 250) If the FSC is 3 and the taxpayer's spouse has filed a separate return with itemized deductions or they are a dual status alien, the taxpayer is instructed to check the designated box under their spouse's name line on page 2 of Form 1040. If the return is identified as "Dual Status" , follow the procedures under IRM 3.12.2.3.7 when all of the following conditions are met: The FSC is other than 3. The box indicating dual status alien is checked on page 2, Form 1040. The standard deduction is not claimed.

If the taxpayer is not FSC 3, does not check the spouse itemizes box on page 1 of Form 1040, or attach Schedule A, and entered 0 (zero) or blank for the standard deduction, assign TPNC 194. Caution: Refer to DSI instructions (IRM 3.12.3.23.10.8) and/or instructions for FSC 3 (IRM 3.12.3.23.10.9) before assigning TPNC 194. If the taxpayer has claimed both the standard deduction and Schedule A, the computer will use the more beneficial amount. Assign TPNC 196. If an error on Schedule A reduces total itemized deductions to an amount less than the standard deduction, the computer will use the more beneficial standard deduction amount. Assign TPNC 190. Caution: Before assigning TPNC 190, refer to IRM 3.12.3.23.10.11. If the taxpayer attached (but did not use) a Schedule A, which was greater than the total standard deduction, but instead entered a standard deduction amount on Form 1040, line 12e, assign TPNC 189. If Form 1040, line 12e, has an entry that is greater than the standard deduction amount or additional standard deduction amount for the filing status claimed, use the following table to resolve the error condition: If… And… Then… A] Schedule A, or an attachment showing itemized deductions is present, Section 07 was not transcribed, GTSEC 07.

# Prior Year (EC 250)

3.12.3.23.10.13 (01-01-2026) Prior Year (EC 250) When a return appears to be a Non-Compute, but does not meet the criteria (e.g., "prior-year return" , Schedule A present, Schedule C present, etc.), assign TPNC 218. For TY22 and prior, the computer cannot compute the correct amount for Taxable Income. Use the following procedures: Reminder: The computer is programmed to perform calculations for the current year and the two prior years. Verify that all fields displayed have been transcribed correctly. Manually compute Taxable Income (TXI) and enter the amount in the Taxable Income Verified Field (94INV). TY22 and prior, the computer uses the TY22 standard deduction (if Section 07 is not present). The computer will not calculate exemption amounts for TY17 and prior. Refer to the Prior-Year Chart in Prior Year Job Aid Book 2515-014 for the correct amounts for the tax year. TY21, if taxpayer has an entry on line 12b Form 1040 for Charitable Contributions, subtract lines 12a, 12b and 13 from line 11 of Form 1040 and enter in Field 94INV. If taxpayer claims more than the allowable amount ($600 for FSC 2 and $300 for all other FSC's) recalculate taxpayer's taxable income using no more than allowable amount and enter into Field 94INV. When EC 250 redisplays send TPNC 731. Taxpayers who indicate they can be claimed on someone else's return and do not itemize, must limit their standard deduction. Refer to Prior Year Job Aid 2515-014 for the limited standard deduction amounts. TY17 and prior, if there is an error in subtracting the standard deduction or itemized deduction from AGI, manually verify taxable income and enter in Field 94INV. If EC 250 redisplays, assign TPNC 199. TY17 and prior, use the following table for correction procedures for exemptions. If... And... Then... A] RPC O is present, Taxpayer did not claim EIC, Manually verify taxable income without the primary's exemption amount and enter in Field 94INV. If EC 250 redisplays, assign TPNC 205. B] RPC O is present, Taxpayer with SSN claims EIC, Manually verify taxable income without the primary's exemption amount and enter in Field 94INV. If EC 250 redisplays, assign TPNC 748. C] RPC O is present, Taxpayer with ITIN or IRSN claims EIC, Manually verify taxable income without the primary's exemption amount and enter in Field 94INV. If EC 250 redisplays, assign TPNC 205. When EC 337/338 generates, also assign TPNC 702. D] The taxpayer incorrectly added the exemptions claimed (lines 6a-6c), Manually verify taxable income and enter in Field 94INV. If EC 250 redisplays, assign TPNC 200. E] The taxpayer correctly added the exemptions claimed (lines 6a-6c), The taxpayer made an error computing the exemption amount based on the total exemptions claimed on line 6d, Manually verify taxable income and enter in Field 94INV.

# Correction Procedures (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.3 (03-14-2025) Correction Procedures (EC 260) Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. All MeF Returns must be revalidated. Enter R in Field 02RI and transmit. If EC 260 displays, Field 01RPC has an "O" in the field, and other exemptions (e.g., secondary or dependents) have been disallowed using Field 94EXV, then position 1 of Field 94EXV must be "0" (zero) to disallow the exemption for the primary taxpayer. If RPC O doesn't display in Field 01RPC, delete CCC Y. If RPC O displays in Field 01RPC and Field 94EXV is blank, delete CCC Y. If RPC O displays in Field 01RPC, and Field 94EXV has an entry, take the following actions: - Enter 0 (zero) in the first position of Field 94EXV to disallow the exemption for the primary taxpayer. - Delete CCC Y, when EC 260 redisplays. CCC Y is present on returns to force them to ERS because they require special handling or special tax computations when programming can't accurately compute tax. CCC Y may be edited by Code and Edit, generated by MeF Code and Edit business rules, or computer generated on certain returns. Paper Returns - Code and Edit will leave an action trail to identify why CCC Y was edited. MeF Returns - Code and Edit values can be found on the left side of the EUP screen with the notation "Code and Edit Values" . To determine the reason CCC Y was edited, click on this notation and it will display at the bottom of the screen. Note: If CCC Y was entered due to Credit for Repayment being claimed on line 13b Schedule 3, remove the Y from Field 01CCC and continue to process the return. Note: On MeF returns, if Fractional exemption is noted, review and correct the entry in position 8 of Field 01EXC when more than nine dependents are claimed in position 3, 5, 6, or 7. If Field 01EXC is correct, delete CCC Y. If CCC Y was entered due to "Personal Representative Court Certificate" ensure 01CCC L or W was coded correctly and then remove the Y from Field 01CCC.

# Prior Year (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.4 (01-18-2022) Prior Year (EC 260) The ERS programming can figure tax for three tax periods, the most recent complete calendar year and the two before. In processing year 2026 the programming can figure tax for tax year 2025, 2024, and 2023. All TY22 and prior tax returns require manual computation. Caution: If using CC TXCMP to determine the tax amount and it differs from the taxpayer's amount by less than $10, accept the taxpayer's amount for tax. For TY22 and prior, the computer can't compute the correct amount for taxable income, tentative tax, credits, other taxes and refundable credits. Manually verify the amounts and enter the correct amounts in the verified fields whenever the computer can't compute the correct amount. Caution: If a previous math error is present, manually verify prior year returns and enter the correct amount in the applicable verified fields. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. If a previous math error is present, manually compute Taxable Income and enter the correct amount in Taxable Income Verified, Field 94INV, and compute the correct amount for Tentative Tax and enter it in Tentative Tax Verified, Field 94TTV. Refer to EC 250 Prior Year, IRM 3.12.3.23.10.13 and EC 265 Prior Year, IRM 3.12.3.25.1.15. All other instructions for correcting prior year returns are in the appropriate error codes.

# Tentative Tax Verified, Field 94TTV (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.5 (10-16-2024) Tentative Tax Verified, Field 94TTV (EC 260) This is an ERS Input Only field. When the computer can't arrive at the correct tax, the Tentative Tax is entered in this field. On TY22 and prior returns, ensure Form 8814 Tax and Form 4972 Tax are correctly computed (if present), before entering tentative tax verified.

# Total Tax Verified, Field 94TXV (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.6 (01-01-2026) Total Tax Verified, Field 94TXV (EC 260) This is an ERS Input Only field. It is used when the taxpayer has used a special computation for total tax and the computer can't arrive at the correct total tax. The total tax is manually computed and entered in this field.

# Multiple Filers on Same Return (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.7 (01-17-2017) Multiple Filers on Same Return (EC 260) If filers include wages or other income or withholding that doesn't belong to the primary or secondary taxpayer, Code and Edit will edit CCC Y and Action Trail "Multiple Filers" . See IRM 3.12.2.3.19 to work the return. Delete CCC Y.

# Multiple Tax Periods on Same Return (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.8 (01-17-2017) Multiple Tax Periods on Same Return (EC 260) If the taxpayer includes income for a tax year different from then printed on the form, Code and Edit will edit CCC Y and Action Trail "Multiple Tax Periods" . See IRM 3.12.2.3.20 to work the return. Delete CCC Y.

# Fiscal-Year Tax Return (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.9 (10-16-2024) Fiscal-Year Tax Return (EC 260) A fiscal year return is a twelve-month period that ends on the last day of any month other than December. Special computations are necessary in these instances. Wages do not match the amount shown on Form(s) W-2 because the wages from Form(s) W-2 are for a calendar year. Note: Withholding, in contrast, should always agree with the amount shown on the Form(s) W-2. Code and Edit perfects the tax period in the format YYMM. MM shows the final month of the tax period. Tax computation may be different for each of the two calendar years within the fiscal year. If the taxpayer has provided a fiscal-year computation, figure tax with the taxpayer's fiscal-year computation. If the taxpayer has not provided a fiscal-year computation, figure tax with the rates in effect when the fiscal year began. For fiscal year 202602 you would use the tax rates for 202512, for instance. TY22 and later short-year and fiscal-year returns, if "IRA22DPE" or "IRA22TRE" is noted on Schedule 3, line 13a, or elsewhere on the return, determine if 5 is present in Field 01RPC. If RPC 5 is not present, take the following actions: If "IRA22DPE" is noted on Schedule 3, line 13a, or elsewhere on the return, enter 3 in Field 01CCC, and enter 5 in Field 01RPC. If "IRA22TRE" is noted on Schedule 3, line 13a, or elsewhere on the return, enter 5 in Field 01RPC. Follow local procedures to route a scan or copy of the return to the local SP point of contact for Deemed Payment Election (DPE) returns. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

# Short-Year Tax Returns (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.10 (04-24-2023) Short-Year Tax Returns (EC 260) Taxpayers file a short-year Tax Return when they change an accounting period. Except in situations where an automatic change is available, the taxpayer must apply for and receive permission for the change before it can be accepted. Be sure CCC Y is present to change the accounting period at the Master File. SSPND 211 if one of the following is not attached to the return: A statement relating to an application. A copy of the application. Form 1128. TY22 and later short-year and fiscal-year returns, if "IRA22DPE" or "IRA22TRE" is noted on Schedule 3, line 13a, or elsewhere on the return, determine if 5 is present in Field 01RPC. If RPC 5 is not present, take the following actions: If "IRA22DPE" is noted on Schedule 3, line 13a, or elsewhere on the return, enter 3 in Field 01CCC, and enter 5 in Field 01RPC. If "IRA22TRE" is noted on Schedule 3, line 13a, or elsewhere on the return, enter 5 in Field 01RPC. Follow local procedures to route a scan or copy of the return to the local SP point of contact for Deemed Payment Election (DPE) returns. It is not necessary to change the accounting period for bankruptcy returns (IRC 1398 Election), and Form 1128 is thus not necessary. If a return is identified as a "Bankruptcy" return, verify the taxpayer's amount of tax and enter in Field 94TTV. Then enter C in the Clear Field. Do not delete CCC Y. The tax for short-year returns must be computed from annualized income unless the return is a short-year final return. See IRM 3.12.3.24.4.11 for instructions for the annualized income. Note: If the taxpayer died during the tax period and CCC Y is present, delete Y from Field 01CCC and compute the return as a return for the full year. The standard deduction is not allowed. The taxpayer must itemize deductions in computing annualized taxable income or the tax on such income. If ERS corresponds for Schedule A and the taxpayer's reply is considered a no reply or the taxpayer notes "No Itemized Deductions" , use zero for the total itemized deductions. Withholding is allowed only for periods that contain the month of December because Form(s) W-2 are written for calendar years. Example: Taxpayers who file a short-year return for January 14 through September 30 may not claim the withholding shown on their Form(s) W-2 for that tax period. The withholding would be allowed only for the filing year beginning October 1 because it would include December. When the taxable income is based on the Annualized Basis, the Credits are also limited in the same manner. The credit to be allowed must be computed using the same percentage used to prorate the Exemption amount and entered separately, then the computer will allow the credit against the tax on the basis of annualized taxable income. A net operating loss for a Short Year Taxable Return is to be computed in the regular manner, by reference to the actual income and deductions for the Short Taxable Year without placing them upon an annualized basis. The same rule would apply in computing a net operating loss carryover where one of the intervening years is a Short Taxable Year. The amount of the loss allowable would be determined by the actual net loss income of the short year without annualization. For Self-Employment Quarters Covered on Schedule SE, determine the entry in Field 17QC using the following: A fraction of a quarter counts as a full quarter. The quarters begin in January, April, July, and October. If the tax period covers more than three quarters, blank the field. •Code 1 - One Quarter •Code 2 - Two Quarters •Code 3 - Three Quarters Note: A taxpayer filing a short-period return is not eligible for the earned income credit-unless a short-period return is filed for a deceased taxpayer and the return satisfies all the requirements for the credit. Otherwise enter RPC B. Refer to Error Code 336/338.

# Annualized Income (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.11 (01-02-2019) Annualized Income (EC 260) Total Annualized Income is: The Adjusted Gross Income. Minus Itemized Deductions. Minus the prorated Exemption amount. Times 12. Divided by the number of months in the Short Year Period. Determine the Taxable Income on a Short Year Tax Return as follows: Verify the total income shown on Form 1040, line 9. Verify the subtraction of Adjustments to Income to arrive at Adjusted Gross Income. Subtract the total amount of Itemized Deductions (Standard Deduction is not allowed for Short Year Tax return). TY18 and later, skip to (f). TY17 and prior, prorate the exemption amount. To figure the prorated amount: 1) Divide the number of months (or days) in the Short Year Tax period by 12 months (or 365/366 days) (part of a month is considered a full month). 2) Multiply this percentage by the total exemption(s) amount for a calendar year. Example: If a short-year period is for 9 months and only one exemption is claimed, the percentage is 75 percent. 9 divided by 12 = 75 percent (the prorated percentage) 75 percent times $4,050 = $3,038 (the prorated exemption amount). Subtract the prorated exemption amount from the result of the preceding (c). Multiply that amount by 12. Divide by the number of months in the short-year period to arrive at the total annualized income. To compute the tax, use the total Annualized Income and appropriate tax rate table or schedule. Then use the same percentage used to prorate the exemption amount to prorate the tax. Example: If the tax is determined to be $600, multiply this amount by the same percentage you used to prorate the exemption. Thus, the correct prorated tax would be $450 in the case of the example used previously. ($600 times 75 percent = $450) When a taxpayer changed to a 52-53 week fiscal year, the tax is annualized in the same manner except the computation is done on a daily basis, rather than a monthly basis. If the taxpayer used total days in a year instead of months (12), you can use the same formula. Substitute 365/366 days for 12 months and divide by the number of days in the period covered to get your prorated percentage. Note: Self-employment tax is figured on actual Self-Employment income and is not annualized. For "Self-Employment Quarters Covered" (Field 17QC), refer to IRM 3.12.2.17.3.7.

# Decedent Returns Filed Early (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.12 (10-16-2024) Decedent Returns Filed Early (EC 260) If the early filed return is not a joint return and the taxpayer died after December 31, 2025, and the return is early filed, process it using the tax period for the month and year of the death. Code and Edit edits CCC Y for non-joint decedent returns that are filed early. The CCC Y also serves the purpose of changing the accounting period at Enterprise Computing Center at Martinsburg (ECC-MTB). Do not delete the CCC Y from these returns. Taxpayers are entitled to computations for tax year 202512. Schedules for the self-employment tax and the tax rates for tax year 2025 are in the tax packet for Form 1040ES. If the early filed return is a joint return and only one taxpayer is deceased, SSPND 480. Wait until January to request any missing information, since the return cannot be processed before that time. Note: These returns must be renumbered in January with a current list year DLN. If both the primary and secondary taxpayers died during the tax period of the return, enter A in Field 01CCC. If the date of death is not present, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph C.

# Unallowables with CCC Y (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.13 (03-14-2025) Unallowables with CCC Y (EC 260) When the taxpayer has claimed FSC 5 for more than two consecutive years, the third return filed with FSC 5 becomes unpostable because of the improper use of the filing status. Process these returns according to the steps below. Delete Y from Field 01CCC, if present. Change the FSC to 4. If EC 250 generates (the taxpayer is using the standard deduction in this instance), assign TPNC 104 along with any other required TPNCs.

# Community Property Returns (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.14 (01-02-2018) Community Property Returns (EC 260) Taxpayers who reside in a community property state may allocate their income, deductions, and other items on their tax return. Taxpayers can use FSC 1, 3, or 4. The programming may not always agree with the taxpayer's method of proration. Manually verify all community property returns. Taxpayers use Form 8958, Allocation of Tax Amounts between Certain Individuals in Community Property States to determine the allocation of tax amounts between married filing separate spouses or registered domestic partners with community property rights. See IRM 3.12.2.48, Section 63, for a description of Form 8958. The community property states are: Arizona California Idaho Louisiana Nevada New Mexico Texas Washington Wisconsin Registered Domestic Partners (RDPs) who reside in Nevada, Washington, or California must follow state community property laws and report half the combined community income of the individual and their partner. They can use only FSC 1, or if they qualify, FSC 4 for federal tax purposes. For TY11 and prior, taxpayers may attach an allocation worksheet from Publication 555 or a copy of the partner's Form W-2 or Form 1099-R along with an explanation of the allocation of income. They may also note RDP or CCA (Chief Counsel Advice) on the return. Manually verify the return using the Community Property Return correction procedures in the next subsection.

# Community Property Return Correction Procedures (EC 260)

3.12.3.24.4.14.1 (06-04-2024) Community Property Return Correction Procedures (EC 260) Enter Audit Code H and CCC 3 when FSC is 1, 3, 4 or 7 and an NRA (or SSA 205(c)) spouse is indicated and the taxpayer has split wages or income from a trade or business. TY13 and later. If Form 8958, Allocation of Tax Amounts Between Certain Individuals in Community Property States, is not present, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #11. If Form 8958 is attached, ensure that the spouse's or partner's first name is present in Field 63SPF, the last name in Field 63SPL, and the TIN in Field 63SPN. If the spouse's or partner's name or Social Security Number (SSN) is missing or illegible, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph e with fill-in #12. If "NRA, none, N/A, Applied for, or ITIN Reject" is notated in place of the SSN, enter nine 9's (nines) in Field 63SPN. TY17 and prior, if the taxpayer takes a fractional exemption, allow the full exemption and assign TPNC 200. Math verify all schedules and/or attachments, and adjustments leading to the total AGI on Form 1040, line 11, when Community Property or Registered Domestic Partners is noted. If the taxpayer's AGI differs from the manually computed amount, accept or correct the taxpayer's figure for the AGI. Look for Form 8958 and other forms that account for split income. Use the table below to evaluate the return. If... Then... A] The taxpayer has split income at total income on line 9 or AGI on line 11 , Verify the accuracy of all figures leading to the AGI, including the accuracy of any forms, schedules, or attachments used in calculating any of those figures. If no corrections are necessary, enter C in Field 01RPC. B] There is an entry on line 11 and no amounts leading to the AGI total, Search the return for forms, schedules, and attachments that explain why no income is reported but an AGI is present.

# Field 01FSC, Filing Status Code (EC 265)

3.12.3.25.1.4 (01-01-2026) Field 01FSC, Filing Status Code (EC 265) Field 01FSC is determined by the "Filing Status Box" checked by the taxpayer on the return. This code directs the computer to the correct Tax Table or Tax Rate Schedule for computation of the tax liability. Refer to IRM 3.12.2.4.3.12. Change FSC 4 to: 7 if no valid dependent is claimed in Field 01EXC and a child's name is present on the line following the filing statuses, or Form 2441 is attached with a qualifying child present, or Schedule EIC is attached with a qualifying child. 1 if no dependent is claimed in position 3, 5, 6 or 7 of Field 01EXC. Assign TPNC 108 if EC 265 redisplays. 1 if all dependents have been disallowed (Field 94EXV, position 3 through 8 are 0). Assign TPNC 101 if EC 265 redisplays. Change FSC 3 to FSC 6 if both of the following conditions exist: An exemption for spouse is claimed. No indication spouse has income, such as Form W-2 or Schedule C. Note: Do not change FSC 3 or 4 to 6 if there is an indication the spouse has income such as a Form W-2 or Schedule C, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #40. Change FSC 3 to FSC 2 if all of the following conditions exist: An exemption for spouse is claimed. No indication spouse has income, such as Form W-2 or Schedule C.

Note: Do not change FSC 3 to 2 if there is an indication the spouse has income such as a Form W-2 or Schedule C, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #40. If FSC 1 or 4 is claimed and a spouse or common law spouse is the only dependent claimed, change Field 01FSC to 6. Take the following actions: If the spouse's exemption is not present in the second position of Field 01EXC, correct by entering 1 in the second position. If you can determine that the dependent spouse has included income on the return, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #40. Otherwise assign TPNC 109. If FSC 1 or 4 is claimed and the spouse/common law spouse and other dependents or parents are claimed and the spouse did not sign the return, take the following actions: Delete the exemption for the spouse and leave FSC as 1 or 4. Note: If the spouse has no income on the return, move the spousal exemption to position 7 in Field 01EXC. Assign TPNC 204 when EC 250 displays. If you can determine from an attached Form W-2 or schedule that the spouse included income on the return, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #40. If FSC 5 is checked, ensure that a dependent can be claimed in position 3, 6 or 7 of Field 01EXC or a qualifying child's name is written on the line below filing status and that the spouse's date of death is within 2 years prior to the tax period of the return (e.g., for TY25, the spouse's date of death must have been in 2024 or 2023 to qualify for FSC 5). If the spouse's date of death is not within 2 years prior to the tax period of the return, change FSC 5 to: 4, if entries are present in position 3, 5, 6 or 7 of Field 01EXC. 7, if any of the following are present: • A child's name is present on the line following the filing statuses. • Schedule EIC is attached with a qualifying child. • Form 2441 is attached with a qualifying child. 1, if a) and b) do not apply. If FSC 5 is checked and the spouse's date of death is during the tax period of the return, Change FSC 5 to 2. Correct Fields 01NL1 and 1EXC to reflect a joint account. Assign TPNC 106, if the change results in a math error. Note: When changing filing status from 2 to a different filing status, or from a different filing status to a 2, and Field 01NL1 is blank, enter Long Entity (refer to IRM 3.12.2.4.2). If FSC 2 is checked and spouse's date of death is prior to the tax period covered on return: Delete the name of deceased spouse from Field 01NL1. Change the FSC to 1, if no dependent children are claimed. Change to FSC 4 or 5, as appropriate, if dependent children are claimed. If multiple boxes or no boxes are checked or if the FSC checked is inconsistent with other information on the return, use the FSC which corresponds with the taxpayer's taxable income and tax computations as long as the qualifying criteria are met. Refer to the FSC Chart in Job Aid Book 2515-015. If FSC determination cannot be made, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph F.

# Field 03TTX, Tax Computation Using Maximum Capital Gains Rates (EC 265)

3.12.3.25.1.7 (04-25-2022) Field 03TTX, Tax Computation Using Maximum Capital Gains Rates (EC 265) For TY04 and later, taxpayers will figure their Tentative Tax using either the Schedule D Tax Worksheet or Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet instead of the Tax Tables/Tax Rate Schedules. Taxpayers are instructed to use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet when Taxable Income is greater than zero, Schedule D is present, and line 18 or line 19 is greater than zero. Taxpayers are instructed to use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet when Taxable Income is greater than zero, and any of the following are present: Qualified dividends are reported on line 3a. Capital gain distributions are reported on Form 1040, line 7 (TY19, line 6), and Schedule D is not present. Schedule D is present, and Schedule D lines 15 and 16 are both more than zero. The computer will perform the Schedule D tax computation even if the taxpayer did not and the result will display in Field CGTAX>, Capital Gains Tax Computer. Exception: If CGTAX> is significant and Schedule J (Section 20) is present, and no previous math error, manually verify the Capital Gains Tax and enter in Field 94TTV. If Schedule D is present, ensure Fields 1215, 1218, and 1219 are correctly transcribed. Search the return and attachments for Form 4952. Make sure that Field 514E and 514G are properly filled. If a negative amount is present on line 19 of Schedule D, delete the amount in Field 1219. If qualified dividend amount on Form 1040 line 3a is larger than line 3b, ordinary dividends amount, take the following action: Verify that Schedule B was correctly transferred to Form 1040. Check for an attached Form 1099 and verify whether the taxpayer entered the ordinary dividends on line 3b and qualified dividends on line 3a. Correct Fields 03DIV and 03QD if the taxpayer entered the figures incorrectly. If line 3a is still larger than line 3b, SSPND 211 and request the taxpayer to verify the entry on lines 3a and 3b. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph H. If an entry is present on Form 1040, line 3b, and line 3a is blank, check for the notation "Form 8814" with an amount. [MeF - click on pen on line 3a]. If notation is present, enter the amount in Field 03QD. Note: Form 8814 is not required. If the entry in Field 1215 is a negative amount, and there are entries in Field 03QD and Field 514E, manually compute the Capital Gains Tax and enter in Field 94TTV. If Schedule D, Part 1, was dummied in for an amount reported on Form 1040, line 7 and it appears the taxpayer computed their tax using long-term tax rates, SSPND 211 for Schedule D. If the taxpayer's amount for tax differs from Field CGTAX>, assign TPNC 211.

# Fields 03TTX, Capital Gains Distributions (RPC T) (EC 265)

3.12.3.25.1.8 (04-25-2022) Fields 03TTX, Capital Gains Distributions (RPC T) (EC 265) Taxpayers reporting capital gain distributions only are not required to file Schedule D. They are required to figure tentative tax with the qualified dividends/capital gains tax worksheet instead of with the tax tables or tax rate schedules. These taxpayers report capital gain distributions on Form 1040, line 7, and check the box that Schedule D is not required. If line 3a is larger than line 3b, verify that there are no transfer errors from Schedule B or transcription errors. Check the taxpayer's figure on lines 3a and 3b against the dividends reported on any Forms 1099 the taxpayer provides. If you cannot determine the correct amount for lines 3a and 3b, SSPND 211 and request the taxpayer to verify the entry on lines 3a and 3b. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph H. If Field CGTAX> differs from the taxpayer's amount on Form 1040, line 16, take the following actions: determine if taxpayer checked the box that Schedule D is not required on Form 1040, line 7, if box is checked, verify RPC T is transcribed in Field 01RPC, if not present, enter T in Field 01RPC, if EC 265 redisplays, assign TPNC 211.

Note: The following Taxpayer Notice Codes are shown in a condensed format. The complete version of each is listed in the Taxpayer Notice Codes, Exhibit 3.12.3-1. If you are processing a return converted to Form 1040, you must assign TPNC 111 in addition to other applicable notice codes. Always assign TPNC 111 first on a return converted to Form 1040. TPNC Description 101 We recomputed your tax using FSC 1. 102 We recomputed your tax using FSC 2. 103 We recomputed your tax using FSC 3. 104 We recomputed your tax using FSC 4. 106 We recomputed your tax using FSC 2. You can use this FS for the year of your spouse's death. 108 You didn't show the name of the person who qualifies you for FSC 4. We recomputed your tax using FSC 1. 109 We refigured your tax using FSC 6. We considered your spouse as a dependent (spouse only dependent claimed and no income). 110 We recomputed your tax using FSC 1. You can't qualify as FSC 4 if you can be claimed as a dependent on another person's return. 111 Your return has been converted to a Form 1040. 176 Transferred AGI from page 1 to page 2 incorrectly. 199 We changed the amount claimed on your tax return because there was an error in the subtraction of your standard deduction or itemized deductions from your adjusted gross income. 202 We didn't allow your personal exemption on your tax return. Information on your tax return indicates that you are being claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return; therefore, you can't claim an exemption for yourself. 208 We changed the amount of taxable income because there was an error in the subtraction of your exemption or combined standard deduction/exemption amount. 209 Entered incorrect tax from tax tables or tax rate schedules. 210 Refigured standard deduction, exemption, and tax for the correct tax year. 211 We changed the amount of tax shown on your return. The tax rates on Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains are generally lower than the standard rates. It appears your tax was not computed using these rates or the amount of tax was computed incorrectly. 212 Computed or transferred Schedule J tax incorrectly. 214 Transferred tax on Form 8615 incorrectly. 215 You don't need to file Form 8615. 216 Computed Part I or tax amount or transferred from Form 8814 incorrectly. 217 When we figured your taxable income, you didn't owe any tax. 218 We computed your tax for you. 219 Added Tax and Additional Tax incorrectly. 220 We recomputed your tax using the tax table, tax rate schedules, or capital gains tax computations. We were unable to compute your tax on Form 8615 because of a math error found on another part of your tax return. 221 We refigured your tax liability by subtracting the tax paid on Form 8615. 530 We didn't allow the reduction of Section 965 tax amount from total tax. 531 We didn't allow the reduced tax amount because you didn't provide a completed Section 965 Transition Tax Statement. 558 You gave us information that changed the refund or amount you owe. 559 Used maximum rate to figure Form 8615. 560 We used the tax table or tax rate schedules to figure your tax. We considered your capital gains to be short-term because your Schedule D wasn't attached to your tax return. 598 No Reply - Disallowed exemption claimed for child that didn't live with you. Form 8332, Form 2120 or a copy of a divorce decree was incomplete or not attached to your tax return. 825 Adjusted Form 2441 because dependent on Form 2441 was born after the tax period. *** Any previously assigned TPNC.

# Field 2103, Qualifying Expenses (EC 280)

3.12.3.26.11.8 (01-23-2023) Field 2103, Qualifying Expenses (EC 280) The amount of credit is computed from the Qualified Expenses reported on line 2, column (d) [TY21 and prior, column (c)] for the child and/or dependent with a valid SSN. Note: Code and Edit is instructed to compute and enter the amount from line 2, column (d) [TY21 and prior, column (c)], on line 3 if there is an amount present on line 2, column (d) [TY21 and prior, column (c)], and line 3 is blank. Note: If more than $3,000 (TY21, $8,000) is claimed for a Child and Dependent Care Dependent, the amount will be limited to $3,000 (TY21, $8,000) for one child, $6,000 (TY21, $16,000) for 2 or more Child Care Dependents. If Code & Edit "X'd" line 3, Form 2441 when the taxpayer did not provide the child care provider TIN, assign TPNC 234. Delete the entry in Field 2103 if Code and Edit failed to "X" line 3, Qualified Expenses, Form 2441 when all of the following apply: The provider is not a tax-exempt organization, and The provider is not a foreign citizen (LAFCP), and The provider's TIN is missing and other correspondence is not required, and Due diligence does not apply. Note: Due diligence applies only to notations that indicate the provider has moved and the taxpayer is unable to find the provider to get the TIN, or the provider has refused to give the TIN to the taxpayer. Exception: Do not delete the entry in Field 2103 (line 3 of Form 2441) when more than one provider name is entered on line 1, Form 2441, but only one Child and Dependent Care Provider is valid. Do not disallow the credit. If Field 2103 was deleted in EC 279 (or Code & Edit "X'd" line 3, Form 2441) because the provider TIN in Field 21CPT matches the SSN of primary, secondary, or any dependent, consists of 9 repeating digits or 9 consecutive digits, refer to IRM 3.12.3.26.10.3. Assign TPNC 244 If any dependent has an invalid TIN and so is ineligible for the Child and Dependent Care Credit and the figure in Field 2106> is not equal to the qualified expenses of the eligible child(ren), up to $3,000 (TY21, $8,000), figure the credit for the qualified expenses in Field 21CP1 or 21CP2 of the eligible child(ren). Use only the qualified expenses, up to $3,000 (TY21, $8,000), for the eligible child(ren) to figure total qualified expenses. Enter the allowable credit for the eligible child(ren) in Field 21CCV. Caution: The figure in Field 2106>, the base for the calculation of the credit, is the smallest of line 3, 4, and 5 of Form 2441. The qualified expenses are not always the smallest of those three figures. Use the smallest of those three figures for figuring the credit. Example: Assume a joint return. Each taxpayer has $30,000 in earned income. The multiplier for the credit is .20. The first dependent has $1,600 in qualified expenses and the second dependent has $4,500 in qualified expenses. The second dependent is ineligible for the credit. The qualified expenses in Field 2106> would be $3,000, instead of $1,600. The ERS programming subtracts the qualified expenses of the ineligible child, up to $3,000 (TY21, $8,000), from the total qualified expenses [from $6,000 in this example] to find the qualified expenses for the base of the credit. Figure the credit for qualified expenses [$1,600] and enter the allowable credit in Field 21CCV [in this example, $320.00, $1,600 x .20]. Total the amounts from line 2, column (d) [TY21 and prior, column (c)], and any attachments representing these amounts, and enter the amount in Field 2103 when the taxpayer's entry on line 3 is blank, dash or 0 (zero) and line 2, column (d) [TY21 and prior, column (c)], contains entries. Verify that the taxpayer transferred the amount on line 31 of Form 2441 to line 3 of Form 2441 and completed the rest of the form. Use Part III of the form, if applicable, to "back into" the expense and excluded amount, before corresponding for missing information. If all of the following conditions are met, SSPND 211: Column (d) [TY21 and prior, column (c)] of line 2 and line 3 are blank. The expenses cannot be determined and the taxpayer is claiming a credit on Schedule 3, line 2. The taxpayer completed Part III, Dependent Care Benefits, of Form 2441. Note: The taxpayer may claim the credit if expenses (line 16) are greater than employer-provided benefits (line 12). If Part III of Form 2441 has been completed, the amount on line 31 should be carried back to line 3, Part II. Adjust the entry in Field 2103 accordingly when the amount is in error or incorrectly carried over to line 3. Then assign TPNC 237.

# Fields 2104 and 2105, Primary and Secondary Earned Income (EC 280)

If the taxpayer worked during the month, the higher of the actual earned income or $250 ($500 if more than one qualifying person) would be reported. If FSC 2 and both spouses were either students or disabled, only one spouse would be considered to have earned income of $250 ($500 if more than one qualifying person). When lines 4 and/or 5 of Form 2441 are blank, determine the earned income amount(s) using attached Forms W-2, Schedule(s) SE (minus Field 04DSE if present), and any other earned income present. Enter computed amount in Field 2104, and Field 2105 if FSC 2. Note: If FSC is 2, both primary and secondary taxpayers must have income, be disabled, or a full-time student to qualify for the credit. Note: For other than FSC 2, do not enter an amount in Field 2105 unless the taxpayer has an amount on line 5 of Form 2441. Adjust the amount in Field 2104 and/or 2105 using the earned income present on the return, if line 4 and/or 5 of Form 2441 is the same amount as the taxpayer's entry for Earned Income Credit on Form 1040, line 27a (TY20, line 27; TY19, line 18a). Assign TPNC 232 when EC 280 redisplays. If the entry on line 4 or 5 of Form 2441 is a loss, delete the entry in Field 2104 or 2105 and assign TPNC 233. If one or both taxpayers, if FSC 2, don't have earned income, assign TPNC 233. Note: If FSC is 2, both the primary and secondary taxpayer must have earned income.

If the return is for TY12 and later, and the Form 8863 is for TY11 or before, SSPND 211 to request Form 8863 for TY12 or later as appropriate. If the primary or secondary taxpayer did not claim an exemption but has computed the Education Credit, ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ For TY20 and prior, the computer can't correctly figure the education credit. Manually compute the education credit and enter the amount in Field 94EDV. TY15 and prior, the education institution's EIN is not required. If the taxpayer checked the box at line 13 for TY11 and TY10 and line 15 for TY09, Form 8863, or otherwise explicitly indicates that he is not eligible for the Refundable American Opportunity Credit, enter K in Field 01SPC. In TY08 and prior, The Hope Credit appeared in Part I of Form 8863 and the Lifetime Learning Credit in Part II. Taxpayers were still not allowed to take both credits for the same student. For TY08 and prior, allow the LLC for taxpayers who take the Hope Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit for the same student. For TY08 and prior, use SPC K to suppress the computer's calculation of refundable education credit. Assign TPNC 242 if Education Credits are limited or disallowed because any of the following are present: The name/SSN information is missing for the student(s) listed. The FSC is 3 or 6. The FSC is 2 and the AGI is $138,000 for TY20; $136,000 for TY19; $134,000 for TY18; $132,000 for TY17; $131,000 for TY16; $130,000 for TY15, $128,000 for TY14, $127,000 for TY13.

# General Information (EC 287)

3.12.3.26.18.3 (11-23-2021) General Information (EC 287) Beginning with TY18, each qualifying dependent claimed for the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and/or Refundable Child Tax Credit/Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) on the return must have a valid Social Security Number (SSN) issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA) before the due date of the tax return (including extensions) and dependents must be under the age of 17. In TY21, taxpayers qualify for the Refundable Child Tax Credit with qualifying dependents under the age of 18. Dependents who can't be claimed for CTC may be claimed for the Credit for Other Dependents (ODC). Each qualifying dependent claimed for ODC on the return must have a valid SSN or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) or Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN) issued on or before the due date of the return (including extensions). There is no age limitation associated with ODC, and ODC is allowed for all dependents listed on the return (excluding the primary and secondary taxpayers). In TY21, taxpayers qualify for Refundable Child Tax Credit if they check a box on line 13, Schedule 8812. If the taxpayer does not check any boxes on line 13, Schedule 8812 the taxpayer may qualify for Additional Child Tax Credit instead. Both Refundable Child Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit are reported on line 28, Form 1040 and are transcribed in Field 03ACT. If the taxpayer qualifies for Refundable Child Tax Credit by checking a box on line 13, Schedule 8812 the entire credit is refundable and will be reported in Field 03ACT only. Taxpayers claiming Refundable Child Tax Credit may also be eligible for the Credit for Other Dependents on line 19, Form 1040 for dependents claimed that are over age 18. If the taxpayer does not check a box on line 13, Schedule 8812 then they do not qualify for the Refundable Child Tax Credit but they may be eligible for Additional Child Tax Credit and/or Child Tax Credit/Credit for Other Dependents.

# Fields 01TCE>, and 01TDE>, Total Number Eligible for Child Tax Credit and Credit for Other Dependents (EC 287)

3.12.3.26.18.5 (01-01-2026) Fields 01TCE>, and 01TDE>, Total Number Eligible for Child Tax Credit and Credit for Other Dependents (EC 287) Field 01TCE> displays the total number of children eligible for child tax credit. Field 01TCE> indicates the total number of children eligible and claimed for the Child Tax Credit. Compare the number in Field 01TCE> to the number of qualifying dependent boxes checked in row (7) on page 1 of Form 1040 and transcribed in Field 02CT1/2/3/4 as a value of 1. Reminder: Field 02CT1/2/3/4 is transcribed as 1 for each box checked for Child Tax Credit. Note: For TY17 and prior, dependents whose ITIN Status Code is "I" are also excluded from Field 01TCE>. If Field 01TCE> is zeros, the computer has determined there are no qualifying children for Child Tax Credit. Field 01TDE> displays the total number of dependents eligible for Credit for Other Dependents. Compare the number in Field 01TDE> to the number of qualifying dependent boxes checked in row (7) on page 1 of Form 1040 and transcribed in Field 02CT1/2/3/4 as a value of 2. Reminder: Field 02CTC1/2/3/4 is transcribed as 2 for each box checked for Credit for Other Dependents. Note: If Field 01TDE> is zeros, the computer has determined there are no qualifying dependents for Credit for Other Dependents. If the taxpayer marked a Child Tax Credit box for a dependent but the computer determines the dependent isn't eligible for CTC, the computer will automatically include the dependent in the count for the Other Dependent Credit if the dependent is eligible for that credit. When the taxpayer marks both boxes for the Child Tax Credit and Other Dependent Credit for the same dependent, the computer will automatically include the dependent in the count for which the dependent qualifies. If the number of eligible dependents in Fields 01TCE> and 01TDE> doesn't match the taxpayer's number for qualifying dependents, continue through the requirements to identify why the computer number differs.

# TIN Requirements (EC 287)

3.12.3.26.18.6 (01-01-2026) TIN Requirements (EC 287) All persons listed on the tax return must have a valid TIN issued by the due date of the return (including extensions) to qualify for either credit. TY18 and later, for Child Tax Credit, the qualifying dependent's TIN must be a valid SSN. TY17 and prior, CTC was allowed for qualifying dependents with valid ITINs assigned prior to the return due date. See the TIN requirement exceptions in (2) and (3) below. Caution: Field 94EXV, positions 3 - 8, may have been used to resolve Error Code 010, 012, 013, 017, 250, 283 or 285. If an exemption/dependent was disallowed in a previous error code and the taxpayer indicates the dependent is eligible for CTC/ODC by marking the boxes in row (7) on page 1 of Form 1040, leave as disallowed. If the dependent's SSN is missing and the taxpayer is claiming a religious or conscience-based objection to obtaining a TIN (including Amish, Mennonite, or Form 4029) take the following action: TY18 and later, allow the Credit for Other Dependents if the taxpayer has attached to the return substantial proof of U.S. citizenship or U.S. residency for the qualifying dependent. Enter the number of allowable dependents in Field 94DEV. Note: Acceptable proof includes the following: copy of the dependent's birth certificate (doesn't need to be certified), copy of dependent's green card, copy of other documentation (e.g. medical record, school record, etc that identifies the individual by name. TY18 and later, do not allow Child Tax Credit or Credit for Other Dependents for dependent(s) whose SSN is missing and the taxpayer is claiming a religious or conscience-based objection and no substantial proof of the dependent's U.S. citizenship or residency is attached the tax return. Assign TPNC 705 when EC 299/344 displays. TY17 and prior, allow the Child Tax Credit if the dependent's SSN is missing and the taxpayer is claiming a religious or conscience-based objection to obtaining a TIN(including Amish, Mennonite, or Form 4029). Enter the number of allowable children in Field 94CEV based on the credit taken (e.g., $1,000 enter 01, $2,000 enter 02, etc.) and enter 00 in Field 94DEV. Allow the Child Tax Credit when the child's SSN is missing and the child was born and died in the same or consecutive tax period if the taxpayers provide documentary support in the form of a copy of the birth certificate, death certificate, or hospital record. Enter the number of allowable children in Field 94CEV and Field 94DEV. Note: Enter I in Field 01RPC for children who do not have an SSN and were born in the tax period of the tax return and died in the same or consecutive tax period. If the primary or secondary taxpayer has an expired ITIN (Field 01PIC> or 01SIC> is I), the computer will disallow all CTC/ODC claimed on the return. If the ITIN status indicator I is present in any dependent Field 02DC1>/2/3/4, the computer will disallow the ODC for that dependent. Compare Fields 01PAD> and 01SAD> (TIN Assignment Date), if present, to Field T-DAT>. If the TIN Assignment Date for either field is after T-DAT>, the computer will disallow all CTC/ODC claimed on the return. Caution: TY20, if the TIN Assignment Date is on or before May 17, 2021, manually verify and allow the credit using Field 94CDV. Compare Fields 02AD1>/2/3/4 (Dependent TIN Assignment Date) to the return due date in Field T-DAT>. If any dependent TIN Assignment Date is after T-DAT>, the computer will disallow the CTC/ODC for that dependent. Caution: On TY20 returns, if the TIN Assignment Date is on or before May 17, 2021, determine the number of eligible dependents for CTC and ODC claimed and enter the CTC number in Field 94CEV and enter the ODC number in Field 94DEV. Note: T-DAT> is the Tentative Due Date Computer and displays in YYYYMMDD format. If the return due date is April 15, 2026, T-DAT> will display as 20260415. If the filer requested an extension and a TC 460 shows on IMFOLT, the due date of the return is October 15, 2026, T-DAT> will display as 20261015. Exception: The primary, secondary, or any dependent TIN Assignment Date will display with all zeros if their TIN was issued prior to 2012. Reminder: For TY23 and prior, see IRM 3.12.3.26.18.10.

# Fields 02YB1>, 02YB2>, 02YB3>, 02YB4> - Dependent 1, 2, 3, 4 NAP Year of Birth (EC 287)

3.12.3.26.18.7 (01-01-2026) Fields 02YB1>, 02YB2>, 02YB3>, 02YB4> - Dependent 1, 2, 3, 4 NAP Year of Birth (EC 287) Qualifying CTC dependents must be under the age of 17 (TY21, under the age of 18). The dependent NAP year of birth displays in Fields 02YB1>/2/3/4. If Field 02YB1>/2/3/4 contains zeros/XXXX, the year of birth information is not available on NAP. Research CC INOLE for the dependent's date of birth. For TY17 and prior - If the TIN is a valid ITIN, research of RTS must be performed to determine the dependent's year of birth before allowing CTC. Austin only - Research RTS to locate the year of birth. Click on "view" and check the remarks box to see if the date of birth was added. All other sites, SSPND 410 and take the return to your lead. The lead will promptly forward the information to the campus designated person to e-mail the DLN and ITIN information to the HQ ERS team for RTS research. Note: If the ITIN is invalid, follow the disallowance procedures for an invalid TIN. TY17 and prior, if research reveals the child is under age 17, consider the child a qualifying child for the Child Tax Credit if the taxpayer is claiming CTC. If the dependent is not under age 17, assign TPNC 251, when error code 299 generates.

Search the tax return (including MeF) and attachments for a statement listing additional qualifying children. If found, the statement must provide the name, TIN, and relationship of each additional qualifying dependent. Note: Check the relationship of each additional child to determine if each meets the requirements of qualifying child for the Child Tax Credit (e.g., a son, daughter, brother, sister or a descendent of any of them, stepchild, or eligible foster child). Research INOLES to determine if each additional qualifying child is eligible for child tax credit using the following criteria: Age is under age 17 (TY21, under age 18) TY18 and later - Valid SSN is present TIN assignment date is prior to the return due date. Research IMFOLT and search for TC 460 to determine the return due date. If present, use the date identified as EXT-DT in the last column, under -Variable Data- as the tentative return due date. Caution: Don't use the TC 460 date in the first column. If no TC 460 is present, use the return due date as follows: ▸ TY25 - 04/15/2026 ▸ TY24 - 04/15/2025 ▸ TY23 - 04/15/2024 TY18 and later, research INOLES to determine if each additional qualifying child is eligible for credit for other dependents using the following criteria: Valid TIN If TIN is an ITIN, verify the Status Code is A. TIN assignment date is on or before the return due date. Research IMFOLT and search for TC 460 to determine the return due date. If present, use the date identified as EXT-DT in the last column, under -Variable Data- as the tentative return due date. Caution: Don't use the TC 460 date in the first column. If no TC 460 is present, use the return due date as follows: ▸ TY25 - 04/15/2026 ▸ TY24 - 04/15/2025 ▸ TY23 - 04/15/2024 To qualify for either CTC or ODC, each dependent must satisfy all eligibility criteria for the credit claimed.

# Correction Procedures (EC 297)

3.12.3.26.27.3 (01-01-2026) Correction Procedures (EC 297) Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. For TY23 and later, Form 8936 and Form 8936 Schedule A will be transcribed in Section 69. Taxpayer is required to complete a separate Form 8936 Schedule A for each vehicle. Taxpayer then combines the different credit amounts and transfer the totals in either Part II, Part III, Part IV, or Part V of Form 8936 depending on the credit claimed on Form 8936 Schedule A. Form 8936 and Form 8936 Schedule A have four different credits, and the computer will compute all four credits. The business credits are transferred to Form 3800, and personal credits are transferred to Schedule 3 as follows: New Clean Vehicle Business Credit Amount, Part II Form 8936/8936 Schedule A, transferred to Form 3800, Part III, line 1y. Clean Vehicle Credit Amount, Part III Form 8936/8936 Schedule A, transferred to Schedule 3, line 6f. Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit Amount, Part IV Form 8936/8936 Schedule A, transferred to Schedule 3, line 6m. Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit Amount, Part V Form 8936/8936 Schedule A, transferred to Form 3800, Part III, line 1aa. Note: Errors related to business credits such as New Clean Business Credit Amount and Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit Amount are covered in Error Code 302. The above credits are limited by Modified Adjusted Gross Income thresholds. Programming will use the smaller of current year Modified AGI (computed) and prior year Modified AGI (transcribed from Form 8936, line 4) for the computation of the credit. For TY24 and later returns, programming will use prior year filing status (Form 8936, line 5) and prior year Modified AGI (Form 8936, line 4). If the AGI exceeds the threshold for the filing status as below, the following credits are computed to zero. Field 05CVC, Clean Vehicle Credit amount, Modified AGI threshold is $150,000 ($300,000 if FSC is 2 or 5, and $225,000 if FSC 4). Field 05POC, Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit amount, Modified AGI threshold is $75,000 ($150,000 if FSC is 2 or 5, and $112,500 if FSC 4). Part II, Form 8936 Schedule A (New Clean Vehicle Business Credit amount) and Part III, Form 8936 Schedule A credits (Clean Vehicle Credit amount) combined are limited to $7,500 per vehicle. Part IV, Form 8936 Schedule A (Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit amount) is limited to $4,000 per vehicle. Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit is not allowed when taxpayer can be claimed as dependent of someone else, except if the return is for Filing Status 2. Programming will compute the credit in Field 05POC> to zero if Field 03DSI is 1. Multiple credits cannot be claimed for the same vehicle. Form 8936 Schedule A must have a different VIN for Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part III), Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part IV), and Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part V). Exception: New Clean Vehicle Business Credit Amount (Part II) and Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part III) are considered as one credit for this purpose. Taxpayers who receive an advance on their credit (Field 69SR1 or Field 69SR2) are not eligible for the credit on that VIN unless they check line 4b (Field 69RI1 or 69RI2) of Form 8936 Schedule A and also included a repayment amount for the appropriate credit type on line 1b or 1c of Schedule 2 (0521B or 0521C). TY23 and later, if there is an amount present for Clean Vehicle Credit on Schedule 3, line 6f, or previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit on Schedule 3, line 6m, then Form 8936 Schedule A must be attached. Taxpayers are NOT required to attach Form 8936. Information on up to two vehicles from Form 8936 Schedule A are transcribed into Section 69. If there are more than two Form 8936 Schedule A attached, Code & Edit will edit an indicator 1 to the right of line 2 on the first Form 8936 Schedule A which is transcribed into Field 69AFI, Additional Form 8936 Schedule A Indicator. For TY23 and later returns, VINs on Form 8936 Schedule A are validated against the VIN database on Clean Energy Portal as follows: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Code & Edit will X the following line numbers for each credit on Form 8936 Schedule A if the VIN is incomplete (fewer than 17 characters) or it contains other than alpha and numeric characters (e.g., %, ?, or $). Line 9, Form 8936 Schedule A Line 17, Form 8936 Schedule A Field 98VIN> is a computer-generated field, and the values are as follows: 0 - Default 1 -VIN 1 eligible, VIN 2 ineligible 2 - VIN 1 ineligible, VIN 2 eligible 3 - VIN 1 eligible, VIN 2 eligible 4 - VIN 1 ineligible, VIN 2 ineligible 5 - Portal response not received Use the following table when the taxpayer has claimed Clean Vehicle Credit, Field 05CVC, on Schedule 3, line 6f, or Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit, Field 05POC, on Schedule 3, line 6m.

If an amount is present on Schedule 3, line 6c for Adoption Credit or for Mortgage Interest Credit on Schedule 3 line 6g, follow the instructions in Error Code 298. When the number of boxes checked in column 4, matches the total number of dependents eligible in Field 01TCE>/01TDE> and Field 03COD differs from its computer underprint, the taxpayer has incorrectly computed the child tax credit/credit for other dependents. Assign TPNC 249 (TPNC 252 for TY17 and prior) when the taxpayer has incorrectly computed the child tax credit or when the computer is limiting or phasing out the credit because the modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is greater than or equal to $200,000 ($400,000 if FSC 2). Assign TPNC 249 (TPNC 252 for TY17 and prior) when the taxpayer has: Claimed an amount for Child Tax Credit/Credit for Other Dependents that cannot be reconciled with the dependent information on the return or attachments. Do not adjust the entry in Fields 02CT1/2/3/4. Checked the boxes on row (7), indicating they have qualifying dependents for Child Tax Credit/Credit for Other Dependents, but failed to claim the credit. Claimed all or part of the Child Tax Credit on the Additional Child Tax Credit line. Note: If the taxpayer should have claimed the Child Tax Credit, the computer will compute the Child Tax Credit and reduce the Additional Child Tax Credit. Assign any previously assigned TPNC if a previous math error made a change to the credit available.

For TY23 and later, Form 8936 and Form 8936 Schedule A will be transcribed in Section 69. Taxpayer is required to complete a separate Form 8936 Schedule A for each vehicle. Taxpayer then combines the different credit amounts and transfers the totals in either Part II, Part III, Part IV, or Part V of Form 8936 depending on the credit claimed on Form 8936 Schedule A. Form 8936 and Form 8936 Schedule A have four different credits, and the computer will compute all four credits. The business credits are transferred to Form 3800 and personal credits are transferred to Schedule 3 as follows: New Clean Vehicle Business Credit Amount, Part II Form 8936/Form 8936 Schedule A, transferred to Form 3800, Part III, line 1y. Clean Vehicle Credit Amount, Part III Form 8936/Form 8936 Schedule A, transferred to Schedule 3, line 6f. Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit Amount, Part IV Form 8936/Form 8936 Schedule A, transferred to Schedule 3, line 6m. Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit Amount, Part V Form 8936/Form 8936 Schedule A, transferred to Form 3800, Part III, line 1aa. Note: Errors related to personal credits such as Clean Vehicle Credit Amount and Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit Amount, as well as errors affecting multiple credits, are covered in Error Code 297. The above credits are limited by Modified Adjusted Gross Income thresholds. Programming will use the smaller of current year Modified AGI (computed) and prior year Modified AGI (transcribed from line 4 of Form 8936) for the computation of the credit. If the AGI exceeds the threshold for the filing status as below, the following credits are computed to zero. Field 231YG, New Clean Vehicle Business Credit Amount AGI threshold is $150,000 ($300,000 if FSC is 2 or 5, and $225,000 if FSC 4). Exception: Field 231AA, Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit Amount is not limited by AGI thresholds. Part II, Form 8936 Schedule A (New Clean Vehicle Business Credit Amount) and Part III, Form 8936 Schedule A credits (Clean Vehicle Credit Amount) combined are limited to $7,500 per vehicle. Multiple credits cannot be claimed for the same vehicle. Form 8936 Schedule A must have a different VIN for Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part III), Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part IV) and Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part V). Exception: New Clean Vehicle Business Credit Amount (Part II) and Clean Vehicle Credit amount (Part III) are considered as one credit for this purpose.

Information on up to 2 vehicles from Form 8936 Schedule A are transcribed into Section 69. If there are more than two Form 8936 Schedule A attached, Code & Edit will edit an indicator "1" to the first Form 8936 Schedule A, which is transcribed into Field 69AFI, Additional Form 8936 Schedule A Indicator. For TY23 returns, VINs on Form 8936 Schedule A are validated against the VIN database on the Clean Energy Portal as follows: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Code & Edit will "X" the following line numbers for each credit on Form 8936 Schedule A if the VIN is fewer than 17 characters (incomplete) or it contains a character other than alphanumeric character (for example, ?, %, $).

# Correction Procedures (EC 324)

3.12.3.28.2.3 (01-01-2017) Correction Procedures (EC 324) Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. Note: For the remainder of this text Schedule H will be referred to as Section 44; however, all instructions will apply equally to Sections 44 and 45. Note: Field 44FTX, FUTA tax, displays in dollars only and its computer underprint, Field 44FTX>, displays in dollars and cents. When the FUTA Indicator, Field 44FIN, is blank, the programming figures Section A in Part II of Schedule H. If there is an entry for FUTA tax on line 16 or 24 of Schedule H and no other amounts lead to the entry for FUTA tax, follow these procedures. Reminder: The taxpayer figures the FUTA tax in Section A only or Section B only. An entry in Section A on line 16, for instance, rules out an entry for FUTA tax in Section B on line 24. Follow the procedures below only for the section the taxpayer uses. Section A • Figure the FUTA wages in Section A by dividing the FUTA tax on line 16 of Schedule H by .006. • Enter the result in Field 44TFW. Section B • Figure the FUTA wages by dividing the FUTA tax on line 24 of Schedule H of Schedule H by .006. • Enter the result in Field 44TFW. Use the following table to correct Field 44FIN, FUTA Indicator: If the taxpayer... And... Then... A] Has entries present in both Sections A and B, All of the boxes on lines 10 through 12 are answered "yes" , Blank Field 44FIN. Delete entries in Section B. B] Has entries present in both Sections A and B, At least one box on lines 10 through 12 is answered "no" , Enter 1 in Field 44FIN. Delete entries in Section A. C] Made a math error, Assign TPNC 277. If the taxpayer notes "late contributions" to the side of the entry for FUTA Tax, accept the taxpayer's amount for FUTA Tax and enter it in Field 44FTV. If the taxpayer checks the box on Schedule H, line 23 for TY13 and later, accept the taxpayer's entry for FUTA Tax and enter it in Field 44FTV.

The amount reported in these fields are multiplied by a certain percentage associated with that state. Assume, for the sake of illustration, that for TY08 Kentucky is a Credit Reduction State and that the percentage for KY is ".003" . The amount computed for each state represents Credit Reduction State-1 through 5 Computer, Fields 44CR1> through 44CR5>. Field 44TCR (Total Credit Reduction) represents the employer's Total Credit Reduction. This amount should be zero. Field 44TCR>, Total Credit Reduction Computer, represents the computer's amount for Total Credit Reduction. This amount represents the combined total of Fields 44CR1> through 44CR5>. Field 44CA> FUTA Credit Allowable Computer, is computed by subtracting Total Credit Reduction Computer from FUTA Smaller Amount Computer. Then, FUTA Tax Computer is computed by subtracting Credit Allowable Computer from FUTA Base Amount Computer. Note: For a complete list of credit reduction states and territories, see Exhibit 3.12.2-8, Credit Reduction States and Territories.

# Determining if the Assessment of the Installment Payment is Appropriate (EC 328)

3.12.3.28.5.4 (01-01-2020) Determining if the Assessment of the Installment Payment is Appropriate (EC 328) EC 328 is designed to help detect cases when a First-Time Homebuyer Credit (FTHBC) installment payment is not reported on the return, and the primary and/or secondary taxpayer may be liable for the payment. Taxpayers who received the FTHBC in TY08 for a home they bought in 2008 must repay the credit over 15 years, starting with their TY10 return. Not every EC 328 means that a payment is in fact due. The EC is designed to detect returns where it appears an installment should be assessed and a TPNC sent, but each EC 328 requires review by an ERS examiner. It is possible that conditions on the return may indicate no installment is due. FTHBC credits for a home purchased in 2009 and part of 2010 and claimed on 2009 or 2010 tax returns, do not require the annual installment payment and should not generate EC 328. Note: Certain military filers and other excepted occupations were allowed to purchase the home in the first part of 2011, and claim the credit on their 2011 tax return. For 2008 purchases, the installment amount(s) due will display in Fields PNRI> (primary) and/or SNRI> (secondary). The values in these fields represents 1/15th of the total FTHBC the taxpayer received in 2008. For example, a $7,500 credit received divided by 15 equals a $500 installment payment due. If FSC 2 taxpayers received the credit on their joint 2008 return, one-half of the credit (and repayment) amounts are allocated to each SSN; hence Fields PNRI> and SNRI> will display $250. Taxpayers who are properly making the installment payment enter the amount on Schedule 2, line 10 and include the amount in the total tax, Form 1040, line 24. Taxpayers are no longer required to attach Form 5405 (although some still do, and this is addressed later in the EC).

# Field 01CCC, Computer Condition Code (EC 328)

3.12.3.28.5.5 (04-24-2023) Field 01CCC, Computer Condition Code (EC 328) The following three Computer Condition Codes (CCC) are relevant to EC 328 and FTHBC repayment. CCC F is present (indicating the primary taxpayer died during the tax year of the return), the repayment obligation (if any) of the primary taxpayer is forgiven. CCC 9 is present (indicating the secondary taxpayer died during the tax year of the return), the repayment obligation (if any) of the secondary is forgiven. CCC A is present (indicating both primary and secondary taxpayers died during the tax year of the return), the repayment obligation of both taxpayers is forgiven. If the taxpayer attached Form(s) 5405 when one or both taxpayers are deceased, enter H in Field 5803/5903 for the taxpayer(s) who is deceased. If a Form 5405 is not attached in this situation, dummy in Section 58/59 and enter H in Field 5803/5903 for the taxpayer who is deceased. If the taxpayer attempts to make a repayment in these cases when no repayment for one or both taxpayers is required, ERS programming calculates the payment obligation to zero. The payment obligation is represented in: The underprint of Field 05FHB. If Section 58 and/or 59 is present, the repayment obligation for each SSN also displays in Field 58FRC> and/or 59FRC>. If the payment obligation is displayed as indicated in (a), or (b) above, enter C in the Clear Field and assign the appropriate TPNC when the math error generates.

# Field 01SPC, Special Processing Code (EC 328)

3.12.3.28.5.6 (01-01-2018) Field 01SPC, Special Processing Code (EC 328) Two Special Processing Codes are relevant for EC 328 and FTHBC repayment. Taxpayers are instructed to check the box on line 2 of Form 5405 if they are a member of the uniformed services or Foreign Service, or an employee of the intelligence community. These taxpayers are not required to repay the FTHBC. Based on the owner of the Form 5405, enter: Z in Field 01SPC for the primary taxpayer. 7 in Field 01SPC for the secondary taxpayer. If FSC 2 and only one Form 5405 is present, both PNRI> and SNRI> are greater than zero, add the missing Form 5405 for the other taxpayer. Ensure SPCs "Z" and/or "7" are entered in Field 01SPC appropriately. If EC 328 redisplays, enter C in the Clear Field.

# Field 05FHB, First Time Homebuyer Credit Repayment (EC 328)

3.12.3.28.5.7 (10-16-2024) Field 05FHB, First Time Homebuyer Credit Repayment (EC 328) Field 05FHB represents the taxpayer's repayment amount for FTHBC, and the computer underprint is the computer's calculation for amount for the primary and/or, for FSC 2, the secondary taxpayers' amount is included in the underprint. EC 328 will generate most often when Field 05FHB amount is zero and the underprint is greater than zero. EC 328 may display when Field 05FHB and its underprint are both greater than zero and may be equal. This commonly happens when the return is FSC 2, Section 58 is present, and both taxpayers are liable for the repayment. Determine if Section 59 should be transcribed for the secondary taxpayer. Refer to IRM 3.12.3.28.5.9(3), (4), (5), and (6) when Section 59 is required for the secondary taxpayer.

If the Primary/Secondary taxpayer's year of birth, Field 01PYB>/01SYB>, displays with all zeros: GTSEC 02 and enter R in Field 02RI to revalidate the SSN against the NAP, And Field 01PYB>/01SYB> continues to display with all zeros, research CC INOLE (using Definer S) for the Primary and/or Secondary taxpayer's date of birth. Enter the Primary taxpayer's age in Field 94PAV and the Secondary taxpayer's age in Field 94SAV, as appropriate. If correspondence for Schedule EIC is required, do not correspond if the Primary or Secondary SSN (for FSC 2) is missing, invalid, or is an ITIN. If the Primary SSN is invalid and RPC O was not previously entered, take the following actions: Delete the entry in Field 01PS and transmit. When the Field Error for Field 01PS displays, re-enter the Primary SSN. (This will cause EC 004/005 to display, if appropriate.) Follow EC 004/005 instructions. Assign the appropriate TPNC. TY22 and later, taxpayers who are married filing separately (FSC 3) can claim Earned Income Credit if they have a qualifying child who has lived with them for more than half of the year. If the taxpayer meets all requirements, they will check the MFS box on Schedule EIC and Field 02MFS will be significant. If the taxpayer appears to qualify for EIC, but does not provide at least one Form W-2 or similar statement of earnings, or has and entry on line 1b of Form 1040 or note HSH beside the entry for wages on TY22 and prior, research CC IRPTR for earned income. Wages reported there satisfy the requirement for evidence of earned income. If no wages are found on IRPTR, SSPND 211 for earned income support of EIC. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph X. Reminder: When the taxpayer notes HSH to identify income from household employment, enter E in Field 01SPC. Note: Research CC IRPTR for earned income before corresponding. Wages reported there satisfy the requirement for evidence of earned income. If no wages are found on IRPTR, SSPND 211 for earned income support of EIC. If taxpayers want the IRS to figure the EIC for them, Schedule EIC must be completed and attached to their return and not have figured the credit. First determine their eligibility. If they qualify for the credit, assign TPNC 284. Note: If Code & Edit edits $888 on the EIC line when the taxpayer notes "EIC" near the EIC line, YOU MUST ALWAYS DELETE THE $888.00 EIC AMOUNT AND OVERLAY WITH CORRECT EIC AMOUNT. If the primary, secondary, or any EIC child's date of death is prior to the tax year, assign TPNC 706 (TY17 and prior, assign TPNC 607, 608, or 609 as appropriate). (Refer to EC 018.) Note: Use caution if FSC is 5.

# TIN Requirements for EIC (EC 337)

The computer will not consider EIC children with ATINs/ITINs/IRSNs for EIC. If the taxpayer writes the word "Died" in the box for the child on line 2 of Schedule EIC, or otherwise indicates that the child was born within the tax period of the return and died in the same or consecutive tax period, search the tax return and attachments for a birth or death certificate, or hospital record that shows a live birth and refer to the following table for correct action. Note: The computer will not recognize a child who was born and died in the tax year when computing EIC. If an entry is required in Field 43ESR, GTSEC 43 and enter 1 in the appropriate Field 43A1V/43A2V/43A3V. If... Then... A] No birth certificate is present, or the birth certificate shows a still birth, or the death certificate shows the child's date of death is prior to the tax year, Ensure that EIC was not allowed based on the child(ren) without an SSN. Treat as a missing EIC Child SSN. Do not make entries in Fields 43ESR and 01RPC for this child. If Field 94EXV is blank, enter the number of allowable exemptions. Assign TPNC 707 (TY17 and prior, TPNC 610). B] A birth certificate is present, 1.

E] A death certificate or official hospital records are attached, but no date of birth is present, SSPND 211 to obtain a copy of the child's birth certificate. Note: A doctor's statement is not considered enough evidence of a live birth. Do not consider a "doctor's note" to be an official hospital record. If no qualifying child remains for EIC, enter B in Field 01RPC and DLSEC 43 before assigning the applicable TPNCs. If EC 338 generates due to no support for live birth, assign TPNC 707 (TY17 and prior, assign TPNC 610).

# Qualifying EIC Children (EC 337)

3.12.3.28.14.5 (10-16-2024) Qualifying EIC Children (EC 337) Code & Edit is instructed to "X" EIC children who are not qualified based on relationship and/or number of months. A qualifying child for EIC is one who meets the test for residency, age, and relationship. Residency - The qualifying child must have lived with taxpayer(s) for more than half of the year. Age - The qualifying child must: be under age 19 at the end of the year or be under age 24 and a full-time student or have been permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year, regardless of age. must be younger than the taxpayer claiming the credit (TY09 and later). Exception: EIC will be allowed for a permanently and totally disabled qualifying person of any age, even if older than the taxpayer. Note: TY09 and later - For other than permanently and totally disabled children, EIC will be allowed only for a child who is younger than the taxpayer. The child must have been born in a year after the taxpayer's year of birth. Children born in the same year as the taxpayer are not considered younger than the taxpayer. If the filing status is joint, the EIC will be allowed as long as one taxpayer is older than the child. Relationship - A qualifying child is a child who is: the taxpayer's son, daughter, adopted child, stepson, stepdaughter, or a descendant of any of them or the taxpayer's brother, sister, step/half brother, step/half sister, or a descendant of any of them or an eligible foster child, which is a child placed with the taxpayer by an authorized placement agency. Note: An adopted child (including a child placed with the taxpayer for adoption by an authorized placement agency) is treated as a natural child. A child is not considered to be a qualifying child if there is an indication the child did not live in the U.S. for more than half of the year (e.g., "NRA" indicated in number of months box, or "CN" or "MX" is indicated on Schedule EIC). If any EIC child's NAP Year of Birth differs from the Year of Birth on line 3, Schedule EIC, and is outside the age range requirements, assign TPNC 741. If the child's date of birth is after the tax period (TY25, after 12/31/2025), the child does not qualify the taxpayer for the Earned Income Credit or an exemption, adjust the entry in Field 94EXV to disallow the child's exemption. (All 8 positions must be entered.) Caution: If no qualifying children are left for EIC, enter B in Field 01RPC and DLSEC 43. Use the table below to determine whether EIC should be allowed when Schedule EIC is attached. Child Relationship Number of Months Allow EIC? Child or foster child Blank SSPND 211 Child or foster child 0-5 No. Adjust the entry for number of months in Field 43MO1/2/3 in the two circumstances described below. Exception: Allow the EIC in these two instances. • If the child was born in the year of the tax return, enter 12 in Field 43MO1/2/3 for the child. • If the child was born in and died in the year of the tax return, see IRM 3.12.3.28.14.4 for procedures. Child or foster child 6 or more Yes If the taxpayer claims the EIC and at least one child on Schedule EIC is not a qualifying child for the credit according to the descriptions in paragraph 1 to 6 above, assign: TPNC 750 for any child who doesn't meet the age requirement because their year of birth is not later than the primary or secondary taxpayer's year of birth, they were born after the end of the tax year of the return, or they are older than 18 years old or 24 years old if they are a student; TPNC 751 for any child who do not satisfy the relationship test; TPNC 752 for any child who lived with taxpayer for only half the year or less.

Enter the correct amount in Field 03EIC, if different. Enter A in Field 01RPC. Assign the appropriate TPNCs when EC 364 displays. For TY11 "statutory employees" report their wages on line 1c of Schedule C. For TY10 and earlier, taxpayers checked the box beside the entry on line 1 of Schedule C to mark their status as statutory employee. Review the taxpayer's reporting of income with Schedule C according to the following instructions. Ensure the taxpayer has entered the statutory wages from Form W-2 on line 1c of Schedule C and transcribed in Field 0901C, 1001C, or 1101C. If all the Schedules C report only wages for a statutory employee, enter S in Field 01RPC. These wages are not subject to the self-employment but are still qualifying earned income for the EIC. Manually compute EIC earned income with the worksheets for EIC earned income in the Prior-Year Job Aid, 2515-014, and enter the correct amount in Field 94EIV. For TY08 and prior, the EIC child's age in comparison to the taxpayer's age is not a qualifying requirement. If the EIC child is the same age or older than the taxpayer: Manually compute the EIC amount. If the taxpayer correctly figured EIC, enter A in Field 01RPC. If the taxpayer incorrectly figured EIC, enter the correct amount in Field 03EIC and A in Field 01RPC. If EC 366 generates, assign TPNC 285. TY21 - TY17 and TY08 - If the taxpayer enters prior year earned income on TY21, Form 1040, line 27c, or notes PYEI (Prior Year Earned Income) and an amount to the left of the EIC line (TY20, line 27; TY19, line 18a; TY18, Form 1040, line 17; TY17, line 64a; Form 1040A, line 40a; Form 1040EZ, line 8a), manually compute EIC Earned income and enter in Field 94EIV. Enter A in Field 01RPC. For TY17 through TY96 if there are missing/invalid SSNs/TINs: Recompute EIC, disallowing exemptions with missing/invalid SSNs. Enter the amount in Field 03EIC. Enter A in Field 01RPC. Assign TPNC 701, 702, 743, and/or 745 when EC 366 generates. EIC is not allowed when the taxpayer's investment income (Field 03DQI>) exceeds $11,000 for TY23; $10,300 for TY22; $10,000 for TY21; $3,650 for TY20; $3,600 for TY19; $3,500 for TY18; $3,450 for TY17; $3,400 for TY16 and TY15; $3,350 for TY14; $3,300 for TY13; $3,200 for TY12; $3,150 for TY11; $3,100 for TY10; $3,000 for TY09; $2,950 for TY08; $2,900 for TY07.

# Correction Procedures, EC 342

3.12.3.29.3 (04-03-2025) Correction Procedures, EC 342 Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. To qualify for a refund of excess SST or RRTA, the taxpayer must have more than one employer and the total SST/RRTA withholding must exceed the amount below: TY25; $10,918.20 TY24; $10,453.20 TY23, $9,932.40 Exception: If the taxpayer has separate Forms W–2 with the same EIN, allow the excess SST/RRTA tax in the following situations: a) Some employers hire agents. Agents file separate Forms W-2 for the wages paid by each employer. Form W-2, box b, shows the EIN of the agent. If the phrase "agent for [name of employer]" is listed in box c of Form W-2 and the Forms W-2 have the same EIN, consider the Forms W-2 to be from different employers. Also look for pay stub or Form 4852. b) Forms W-2 issued by a Certified Professional Employer Organization (CPEO). The Form W-2 will not show it was issued by a CPEO, but if the taxpayer has notated it was issued by CPEO, verify the employer shown on the Form W-2 is listed on the List of CPEOs at https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/cpeo-public-listings. Allow the credit if the employer is shown on this list. If the taxpayer has only one employer and that employer withheld excessive SST/RRTA: Enter 1 in Field 94ESV. Complete Form 3696-A, IDRS Correspondence Action Sheet, to initiate LTR 404C. Assign TPNC 294. If multiple Forms W-2 are present, verify each one has a different EIN (except for those described in (2) above). Note: For FSC 2, each taxpayer must figure their excess SST withholding for each spouse alone and then combine their separate excess SST withholding on their joint tax return. If the EINs are different, consider the Forms W-2 to be from different employers, compute the excess SST using the worksheet in (7) below. If the EINs are the same, consider the Forms W-2 to be from one employer (except for those described in (2) above). 1. Enter 1 in Field 94ESV. 2. Complete Form 3696-A to initiate LTR 404C. 3. Assign TPNC 294. On all MeF returns, or on paper returns when there are insufficient Forms W-2 to support the wages/withholding and the taxpayer's claim for excess SST/RRTA, research CC IRPTR. When computing the Social Security tax withheld for each taxpayer, allow $1 per Form W-2 for rounding. If IRPTR supports the taxpayer's claim for excess SST, compute the excess SST using the worksheet in (7) below. Allow $1 per Form W-2 for rounding. If the data is not available in IRPTR, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #9. If excess RRTA is being claimed without supporting Forms W-2 attached or in IRPTR, SSPND 211. Complete Form 6001 using paragraph g with fill-in #9. MeF Returns only, if the taxpayer's total amount for Social Security wages (box 3, Form W-2) and Social Security tips (box 7, Form W-2) is less than $176,100 ) and the taxpayer has an entry in Field 05ESS, SSPND 211 for Forms W-2. Exception: If the entry in Field 05ESS is less than $5, do not SSPND 211. Instead, compute the excess SST using the worksheet in (7) below. If the taxpayer incorrectly figured the amount of excess SST, follow procedures in (8) or (9) below. If taxpayer has $1 in Field 05ESS, enter $1 in 94ESV. If the taxpayer qualifies, compute the excess 2025 SST/RRTA using the following table: Note: In the computation of excess withholding for Social Security tax, include the uncollected Social Security tax on tips and group-term life insurance included in total tax. See step 2 in the worksheet below. Note: For FSC 2, if both taxpayers qualify, compute each taxpayer's excess withholding separately. Then combine the amounts to verify the taxpayers' entry.

# Fields 03ACT - Additional Child Tax Credit (EC 344)

3.12.3.31.1.9 (01-03-2025) Fields 03ACT - Additional Child Tax Credit (EC 344) This field is transcribed from Form 1040, line 28. Additional Child Tax Credit Computer is equal to the difference between the total Child Tax Credit and the non-refundable part of the credit. Additional Child Tax Credit Computer is further limited to the taxpayer's Social Security and Medicare taxes [Schedule 8812, line 21 minus EIC Computer. Determine if another error is present when the underprint for Fields 03COD and 03ACT equals the total amount of credit claimed by the taxpayer. The error is then most likely not caused by the Additional Child Tax Credit. If there is an amount for uncollected Social Security tax identified as UT on Schedule 2, line 13 the Additional Child Tax Credit Computer, Field 03ACT> for Form 1040, may be incorrect. Include the UT amount in Field 47SSM. If the taxpayer appears to have claimed all or part of the Child Tax Credit on the Additional Child Tax Credit line and EC 344 is the first error that displays, assign TPNC 249 (TPNC 252 for TY17 and prior). Note: If the taxpayer should have claimed the Child Tax Credit, the computer will compute the Child Tax Credit and reduce the Additional Child Tax Credit. Reminder: The Child Tax Credit is $2,000 ($1,000 for TY17 and prior) for each qualifying child. Assign TPNC 628 when the taxpayer has incorrectly computed/transferred the Additional Child Tax Credit or when the computer is limiting or phasing out the credit because the modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is greater than or equal to $200,000 ($400,000 if FSC 2). Assign any previously assigned TPNC if a previous math error made a change to the credit available.

# Field 03ACT, Additional Child Tax Credit/Refundable Child Tax Credit TY21 ONLY

3.12.3.31.1.10 (01-17-2025) Field 03ACT, Additional Child Tax Credit/Refundable Child Tax Credit TY21 ONLY This field is transcribed from Form 1040, line 28 If a box is checked on Schedule 8812, line 13a or line 13b, the Child Tax credit is fully refundable and is limited only by income phase-out amounts and any portion already advanced. The computer will limit or phase out the credit when the modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is greater than or equal to $75,000 ($150,000 if FSC 2/5, $112,500 if FSC 4/7). If either box 13a or 13b on Schedule 8812 is checked, the taxpayer receives $3,600 for the number of dependents under age 6 plus $3,000 for the remaining dependents ages 6 through under 18. Research Primary and/or Secondary if FSC 2, using CC IMFOLT for Tax Year 2021 to check for Advanced Child Tax Credit Payments. Note: Advanced Child Tax Payments are TC 766 with a Reference Number of 272. If a TC 767 with a reference number 272 is present, the advance payment was reversed and should not be included in the manual calculation. Add $3,600 for all dependents under age 6 and $3,000 for dependents age 6 through under 18 and subtract all Advanced Child Tax Payments found on CC IMFOLT. After researching for Advanced Child Tax Credit payments, manually compute credit and enter in Field 94ACV. If neither line 13a or 13b is checked on Schedule 8812, Additional Child Tax Credit Computer is equal to the difference between the Total Child Tax Credit and the non-refundable part of the credit. Additional Child Tax Credit Computer is further limited to the taxpayer's Social Security and Medicare taxes (Line 21, Schedule 8812) minus EIC Computer. If line 13a or 13b of Schedule 8812 is not checked or Schedule 8812 is not present, and Field 03ACT is blank or zero (with or without a notation of "Form 4029" or "Amish" ), enter 1 in Field 94ACV. If line 13a or 13b is checked and Field 03ACT is less than the underprint with a notation of "Form 4029" or "Amish" , enter the taxpayer's amount in Field 94ACV. Verify all transcribed sections to identify the point of error when Field 03COD, Form 1040 and its underprint differ and (if no box was checked on Line 13, Schedule 8812) it appears the taxpayer correctly computed the Child Tax Credit. Determine if another error is present when the underprint for Fields 03COD and 03ACT equals the total amount of credit claimed by the taxpayer. The error is then most likely not caused by the Additional Child Tax Credit. If there is an amount for uncollected Social Security tax identified as UT on Schedule 2, line 13, the Additional Child Tax Credit Computer, Field 03ACT> for Form 1040 may be incorrect. Include the UT amount in Field 47SSM. Use the following table when Field 03ACT differs from the computer amount in Field 03ACT>. Reminder: Assign all applicable TPNC(s). IF AND THEN A] If Schedule 8812 is attached The taxpayer has only used Line 22, Schedule 8812, in the computation of Additional Child Tax Credit (Line 21 is blank) GTSEC 47 and transmit. B] If the taxpayer has incorrectly computed their Advanced Child Tax Credit by any of the following: The computation of the credit on Schedule 8812 is incorrect. This includes calculating the Part I-B line 5 per age amount or line 14i amount incorrectly. The amount on Schedule 8812 was not transferred correctly to the return. The taxpayer received Advanced Child Tax Credit payments but did not reconcile them, or they reconciled them incorrectly Assign TPNC 628 C] If box 13a or 13b is not checked on Line 13, Schedule 8812 and the taxpayer used Part I-B line 14i calculations when figuring their credit The computer's amount for Additional Child Tax Credit amount is reduced to $1,400 per qualifying child. Assign TPNC 628

# Field 94ACV - Additional Child Tax Credit Verified (EC 344)

3.12.3.31.1.11 (01-01-2019) Field 94ACV - Additional Child Tax Credit Verified (EC 344) This field is used by tax examiners to enter an amount for Additional Child Tax Credit when the computer is unable to arrive at the correct amount. See EC 289. To limit the Additional Child Tax Credit to zero, enter 1 (one) in Field 94ACV.

# Prior Year (EC 344)

3.12.3.31.1.12 (01-01-2026) Prior Year (EC 344) TY24-TY22, if the box is checked on Schedule 8812, line 15, indicating the taxpayer does not want to claim additional child tax credit, enter 1 in Field 03OEI. The Tentative Return Due Date Field T-DAT>, other than current year, is the April return due date. NAP will not provide a TC 460 date for a return other than current year. Research must be performed to determine if a TC 460 date is on the account. If present, use the date identified as EXT-DT in the last column, under -Variable Data-as the tentative return due date. Caution: Don't use the TC 460 date in the first column. For TY24 and prior, if a primary or secondary TIN Assignment Date is displayed in Field 01PAD> or Field 01SAD> that is after the date in T-DAT>, research IMFOLT for a TC 460 for the tax year of the return. If... And... Then... A] TC 460 is not found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Field 01PAD> or 01SAD> is after T-DAT>, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). B] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Field 01PAD> or 01SAD> is after the TC 460 date, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). C] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Fields 01PAD> and 01SAD> are both before the TC 460 date, Continue to the instructions in (3) to determine if any CTC child's TIN Assignment Date is after the return due date. For TY24 and prior, if ACTC is claimed for a dependent and the dependent TIN Assignment Date is after the date in T-DAT>, then research IMFOLT for a TC 460 for the tax year of the return. If... And... Then... A] TC 460 is not found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Fields 02AD1>/2/3/4, are all after T-DAT>, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). B] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Fields 02AD1>/2/3/4, are all after the TC 460 date, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). C] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, Any TIN Assignment Date in Field 02AD1>/2/3/4, is before the TC 460 date, Determine the number of eligible dependents for CTC claimed and enter the number in Field 94CEV. Reminder: When more than 4 qualifying dependents are present, research all for eligibility. Caution: If you use Field 94CEV or 94DEV, you must make an entry in both fields. For TY22 and prior, manually compute the credit and enter the correct amount in Field 94ACV prior to assigning a TPNC. Note: Programming will compute Additional Child Tax Credit based on the qualification rules for TY23 which includes SSN requirements, maximum credit of $1,400 per child and AGI thresholds. TY17 and prior, consider a dependent with an ITIN as eligible if the ITIN Status code is not "I" when all other criteria are met. TY21-TY17, if "PYEI" (Prior Year Earned Income) is noted, the amount should be transcribed in Field 94AIV TY20, PYEI is notated with the taxpayer's earnings next to Form 1040, line 28 when taxpayers elect to use their 2019 earned income to compute EIC and/or ACTC. TY19 - TY17, "PYEI" (Prior Year Earned Income) is notated with the taxpayer's earnings next to line 18b (TY18, line 17; TY17, line 66a and/or line 67; Form 1040A, line 42a and/or line 43). Taxpayers are instructed to also use their PYEI amount on Schedule 8812, line 6a (TY17, Schedule 8812, line 4). Note: Taxpayers can elect to use their prior year earned income to figure their EIC and ACTC on their TY19 - TY17 tax return. TY17 and prior, consider a dependent with an ITIN as eligible if the ITIN Status Code is not "I" when all other criteria are met. Manually compute the credit and enter the correct amount in Field 94ACV. TY17 and prior, allow the Child Tax Credit when it is claimed for dependents without an SSN because of religious beliefs (Amish, Mennonite, or Form 4029). Manually compute the credit and enter the correct amount in Field 94ACV. If the taxpayer reports statutory and self-employment income on the same Schedule C (e.g., enters a figure on line 1a and 1c, or 1b and 1c, or 1a and 1b and 1c of Schedule C for TY11) or the taxpayer has clearly combined statutory wages and self-employment income on line 1 of Schedule C for TY12 and TY10 and earlier, see the procedures for corresponding in IRM 3.12.3.21.2.5(3)D], in EC 202. For TY17 and earlier, if the taxpayer has failed to limit the Additional Child Tax Credit correctly and is over the AGI limit or incorrectly figures the additional child tax credit, assign TPNC 628. TY13 and prior, if Notice 2014-7, IRC 131, difficulty of care payment, In-Home Health Services (IHHS), or In-Home Support Services (IHSS) is used in the calculation of earned income, disallow this income, calculate with remaining earned income and enter in Field 94ACV. If no earned income or ACTC amount differs from taxpayer amount, assign TPNC 628. Taxpayers with fewer than three qualifying dependents may be eligible for Additional Child Tax Credit if their taxable earned income is more than $2,500 ($3,000 for TY17-TY09, $8,500 for TY08, $11,750 for TY07, $11,300 for TY06, $11,000 for TY05; $10,750 for TY04. For TY08 only - If the taxpayer checked the box on line 4a, Form 8812, then enter the amount from line 13, Form 8812 into Field 94ACV. Note: Before entering the amount ensure that invalid condition such as children and/or taxpayers not qualifying for the credit due to invalid SSN has been considered before entering an amount into the verified field. For TY08 - TY05, taxpayers may claim the Additional Child Tax Credit for qualifying children not claimed as dependents by filing Form 8901 with their return. Form 8901 is not transcribed, so NAP validation is not performed for the children listed on Form 8901. Search the return for Form 8901 and research with CC INOLE to verify the Name Control/TIN are valid and the child is under age 17. Enter the number of qualifying children in Field 94CEV. Note: Form 8901 became obsolete at the end of TY08. From TY09 on, it is not a valid form. If Form 8901 is not attached, do not correspond. If a qualifying child for the Child Tax/Additional Child Tax Credit is over the age 16, disallow the credit and assign TPNC 251. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

# Correction Procedures (EC 347)

3.12.3.31.2.3 (10-16-2024) Correction Procedures (EC 347) Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. If the taxpayer has filed more than one Form 8863 for the same student (e.g., different Education Institutions), GTSEC 50 and delete all field entries for the duplicate student. If an entry is present on Form 1040, line 29 or it appears the taxpayer intended to claim the refundable education credit and Form 8863 is missing, SSPND 211 for Form 8863. Correspond for the required entries on Form 8863, if the taxpayer: is eligible for AOC based on the answers to questions 23 to 26 (2, 1, 2, 2), but line 1 is blank and can't be perfected from the entries on lines 27 to 30. Caution: This student is eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) too. If the tentative credit for the student is present on line 10 of Form 8863 and the taxpayer figures the LLC, do not correspond. Do not allow the AOC for such students. Didn't answer questions 23, 24, 25, and/or 26, but has entered the Tentative AOC on line 1 or figured qualified expenses from lines 27 to 30. Didn't provide the institution's EIN on line 22(4) for TY16 and later. Correspond for EIN only if corresponding for other issues. Assign TPNC 677, if the refundable American opportunity credit is reduced or disallowed due to any of the following conditions: The FSC is 3/6. The student(s) was not claimed as a dependent on tax return. The adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than the maximum amount allowed for the taxpayer's filing status $90,000.00 ($180,000.00 for FSC 2). If American opportunity credit is reduced or disallowed due to a TIN issue, use the following table: If... Then... A] Either the primary or secondary taxpayer's TIN is missing or invalid, or RPC "O" is present, Reminder: Missing or invalid TIN errors displayed in EC 004/005/010/012.

D RPC "E" is present, and the secondary taxpayer is one of the students, Compute the credit with the secondary taxpayer. Enter the result in Field 94AOV. E] Either the primary or secondary taxpayer has an expired ITIN, Reminder: Expired ITIN errors displayed in EC 017 and EC 283. Assign TPNC 709 (TPNC 817 for TY17 and prior). F] Any dependent student has an expired ITIN, Assign TPNC 710 (TPNC 645 for TY17 and prior). G] The primary or secondary taxpayer, or any dependent didn't have an assigned TIN by the due date of the return, Reminder: TIN assignment date errors displayed in EC 283. Assign TPNC 711. Reminder: TY22 and prior, see IRM 3.12.3.31.2.4. H] TY16 and later, the institution's EIN is invalid or missing from line 22(4) of Form 8863, Assign TPNC 672. TY15 and prior, see IRM 3.12.3.31.2.4. If the taxpayer claims the American Opportunity Credit for any student not among the four transcribed dependents on page 1 of Form 1040, or takes the credit for more than the three students in Section 50 and provides a Form 8863 or an attachment with the required information for those other students, take the following steps: Research INOLES to verify the validity of each student's TIN, the TIN Assignment Date, and ITIN Status Code, if applicable. Enter the number of eligible students, using qualifying factors in (a) for whom the taxpayer takes AOC, in Field 50ASV. If the TIN of any student not among the four transcribed dependents is invalid or missing, adjust Field 94EXV to disallow the dependent. Manually compute the credit for the eligible students and enter the refundable amount in Field 94AOV. Note: If all the students on Form 8863 have an invalid or missing TIN, do not compute the credit. When you have a combination of valid and invalid/missing/expired TINs on Form 8863, enter the line 30 amount for only the valid students in Field 5001. When the taxpayer checks the box at line 7 of Form 8863, or states not eligible for the Refundable American Opportunity Credit, enter K in Field 01SPC. If the taxpayer didn't check the box at line 7, lines 7 and 8 are blank, and Field 03AOC is blank, enter K in Field 01SPC. If an entry is present for tentative credit on both lines 1 and 10 of Form 8863 for any one student and the taxpayer has taken the sum of both credits for any one student, follow these steps. If the student is eligible for the AOC [that is, answers questions 23 to 26 appropriately and for TY16 and later, provides the institution's EIN on line 22(4)], allow the AOC. Remove the student's tentative credit from the amount in Field 5010. If the student is ineligible for the AOC [that is, doesn't answer questions 23 to 26 appropriately or TY16 and later, doesn't provide the institution's EIN on line 22(4)], allow the LLC. Remove the student's tentative credit from the amount in Field 5001. Assign TPNC 678. When the taxpayer has entered an amount less than $2,500 on line 30 of Form 8863 for any student, recompute Form 8863 and enter the amount in 94AOV. If the taxpayer can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, and has claimed the refundable Education Credit, ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. If the taxpayer incorrectly computed the AOC based on the answers to the questions on lines 23 through 26 (answer other than 2, 1, 2, 2) or for TY16 and later, if the institution's EIN is invalid or missing from line 22(4), assign TPNC 672. Caution: For TY15 and prior, allow AOC when the institution's EIN is missing if all other conditions are met. See IRM 3.12.3.31.2.4. Reminder: AOC eligibility verification displayed in EC 284. If the taxpayer incorrectly computed or transferred the American opportunity credit, assign TPNC 678.

# Prior Year (EC 347)

3.12.3.31.2.4 (10-16-2024) Prior Year (EC 347) The Tentative Return Due Date in Field T-DAT>, other than current year, is the April return due date. NAP will not provide a TC 460 date for a return other than current year. Research must be performed to determine if a TC 460 date is on the account. If present, use the date identified as EXT-DT in the last column, under -Variable Data-as the tentative return due date. Caution: Don't use the TC 460 date in the first column. For TY24 and prior, if a primary or secondary TIN Assignment Date is after the date in T-DAT>, then research IMFOLT for a TC 460 for the tax year of the return. If... And... Then... A] TC 460 is not found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Field 01PAD> or 01SAD> is after T-DAT>, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). B] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Field 01PAD> or 01SAD> is after the TC 460 date, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). C] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Fields 01PAD> and 01SAD> are both before the TC 460 date, If the AOC claim includes dependent students, continue to (3). If only the primary or secondary taxpayer is the student included in the AOC claim, determine the number of eligible students claimed for AOC and enter the number in Field 50ASV. Manually compute Form 8863 using the eligible students and enter the amount in Field 94AOV. For TY24 and prior, if American Opportunity Credit is claimed for a dependent and the dependent TIN Assignment Date is after the date in T-DAT>, then research IMFOLT for a TC 460 for the tax year of the return. If... And... Then... A] TC 460 is not found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Fields 02AD1>, 02AD2>, 02AD3> and 02AD4> are all after T-DAT>, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). B] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, The TIN Assignment Date in Fields 02AD1>, 02AD2>, 02AD3> and 02AD4> are all after the TC 460 date, Assign TPNC 711 (TPNC 810, TY17 and prior). C] TC 460 is found on IMFOLT, Any TIN Assignment Date in Field 02AD1>, 02AD2>, 02AD3> or 02AD4> is before the TC 460 date, Determine the number of eligible students claimed for AOC and enter the number in Field 50ASV. Manually compute Form 8863 using the eligible students and enter the amount in Field 94AOV. For TY22 and prior, the computer can't correctly figure the Refundable American Opportunity Education Credit in certain conditions (e.g., institution's EIN is blank). Manually compute the credit for all eligible students and enter the amount in Field 94AOV. If the taxpayer indicates they can be claimed on someone else's return and computed the refundable Education Credit, ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ TY10 and later, if American Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit are both being claimed for the same student, allow only the LLC for the student. Remove the student's tentative credit from Field 5001. Assign TPNC 678. The American Opportunity Credit came into being in TY09. In TY08 and prior, the Hope Credit appeared in Part I of Form 8863 and the Lifetime Learning Credit in Part II. Taxpayers were not allowed to take both credits for the same student. For TY08 and prior, allow only the LLC when the same student is listed for Hope Credit and LLC. Assign TPNC 678. TY11 - TY09, if the TIN of any student in Part I of Form 8863 is missing/invalid (NAP Access Indicator is 2 or 9) or any student has an IRSN, assign TPNC 677. For TY11, if an amount in Part I, column (f), is greater than $2,500 for any student, do the following: Manual compute the amount for Field 5001 by adding the amounts in column (f), up to a maximum amount of $2,500 for each student claimed. Enter the correct amount in Field 5001. Assign TPNC 678, if the amount entered is different from the taxpayer's original entry. If the taxpayer checked the box at Form 8863, line 7, or otherwise explicitly indicates that he is not eligible for the Refundable American Opportunity Credit, enter K in Field 01SPC. For TY08 and prior, manually compute the non-refundable education credit and enter in Field 94EDV. If Error Code 347 redisplays, enter K in Field 01SPC. TY20-TY09, taxpayers can't take the Tuition and Fees Deduction and Refundable American Opportunity Credit for the same student. If the taxpayer takes the deduction and the credit, compare the student on Form 8917 with all students in Form 8863, Section 50. If the same student appears in both forms, adjust Field 04ADJ to remove Tuition and Fees Deduction (if present) and assign TPNC 143. If the taxpayer claims the Refundable American Opportunity Credit for any student not among the four transcribed dependents on page 1 of Form 1040 or takes the credit for more than the three students on Form 8863 and provides an attachment with the required information for those other students, take the following steps: Verify with command code INOLE the validity of each student's TIN. If the TIN of any student not among the four transcribed dependents is invalid, adjust Field 94EXV to deny the dependent exemption for the student. Manually compute the credit for the students with a valid TIN only and enter the refundable amount in Field 94AOV. Note: If all the students on Form 8863 have an invalid or missing TIN, do not compute the credit. Instead assign TPNC 677. If any student in Part I of Form 8863 has an invalid TIN (the NAP Access Indicator is 2 or 9 for the TIN), assign TPNC 677. If the FSC is 3 or 6, assign TPNC 677. Assign TPNC 677 if Refundable American Opportunity Credit is limited or disallowed because of any of the following are present: The FSC is 2 and the AGI is $180,000 for TY12, TY11 and TY10; $120,000 for TY09, The FSC is 1, 4, 5, or 7 and the AGI is $90,000 for TY12, TY11 and TY10; $60,000 for TY09. If none of the previous procedures apply to the error, assign TPNC 678.

Caution: On a joint return, verify that the name of the taxpayer in the letter is the same as the name on Form 8885. If the primary and secondary taxpayer appear on Form 8885, there must be a letter for each taxpayer. Search the return or research IRPTR for a Form 1099-R. If the Form 8885 filer's name appears on Form 1099-R and the phrase PBGC occurs in the payer name line, move on to procedures in paragraph 6. Otherwise, continue on to bullet c. Caution: On a joint return, verify the name of the taxpayer on Form 1099-R is the same as the name on Form 8885. If the primary and secondary taxpayer appear on Form 8885, there must be a Form 1099-R for each taxpayer. If you find no letter or Form 1099-R from the PBGC for a taxpayer named on Form 8885, continue on to the procedures in B] below.

Compare the wages for the year of the tax return and the year immediately before. If an employer paid wages to the taxpayer in both years, subtract the wages paid by the employer for the year of the return from the sum of wages reported on the tax return. If the remaining wages are $50,000 or less, move on to the procedures in paragraph 6. Example: On the return, the taxpayer reports $75,000 and takes the HCTC. Three employers paid wages in the year of the return. Employer A paid $35,000, Employer B $30,000, and Employer C $10,000. In the earlier year, Employer A paid wages to the taxpayer. Subtract the $35,000 paid by Employer A from the $75,000 in wages the remaining wages, $40,000, are less than $50,000. If the remaining wages are more than $50,000, continue on to the instruction immediately below. Search the return or with IRPTR for Form 1099-H for the taxpayer named in Form(s) 8885. If the number of months in box 2 or the months with a payment in box 2 to 14 on Form 1099-H match the taxpayer's entries in Part I of Form 8885 (both taxpayers if two Forms 8885 are present), move on to the procedures in paragraph 6 below. Otherwise, continue on to the instruction immediately below. With IMFOLT, call up the module for the tax year of the return. If the count of TCs 971 with Action Code (AC) 171 is equal to the number of months the taxpayer checks in Form 8885, move on to the procedures in paragraph 6 below.

3.12.3.31.9.12 (02-06-2025) Recovery Rebate Credit (EC 358) Correct coding and transcription errors and misplaced entries in displayed fields. Caution: Field 94EXV may have been used to resolve Error Code 010, 012, 13, 017, 283 or 285. If a dependent was disallowed in a previous error code and the taxpayer indicates the dependent is eligible for CTC/ODC by marking the box on row (7) on Form 1040, leave as disallowed. TY22 and later and TY 19 and prior returns, if Recovery Rebate Credit is claimed, assign TPNC 263. Unless one of the special conditions below applies, taxpayer must meet the following criteria to qualify for the credit: Cannot be a dependent on another return. Must have a valid SSN assigned by the due date of the return. Exception: For FSC 2, research CC IMFOLE for a TC 971 AC 162 (Military Indicator) for primary and secondary. If a TC 971 AC 162 is posted and either spouse has a valid SSN, both taxpayers qualify for the credit. Taxpayers without a valid SSN or Military Indicator can claim RRC for dependents who meet the criteria in (c) below. Dependents must have a valid SSN assigned by the due date of the return, and for TY21, there is not an age limitation. Exception: A dependent with a valid ATIN (9XX-93-XXXX) qualifies for the credit regardless of TIN assignment date. Exception: A dependent who was born and died in 2021 qualifies for the credit without an SSN if proper documentary support (copy of birth certificate, death certificate or hospital records) is provided showing the child was born alive and died in 2021. Recovery Rebate Credit was only valid for TY21 and TY20, manual computation is required. See IRM 3.12.3.31.9.12.1 for processing instructions for TY21 and see IRM 3.12.3.31.9.12.2 for processing instructions for TY20.

# Recovery Rebate Credit TY21 Only (EC 358)

3.12.3.31.9.12.1 (01-01-2026) Recovery Rebate Credit TY21 Only (EC 358) Taxpayers can figure their Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) after accounting for any economic impact payments received in 2021. The 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit is computed as $1,400 for each qualifying taxpayer plus $1,400 for each qualifying dependent (if the AGI is below the threshold for the filing status) MINUS the amount of the economic impact payment (EIP3) received. Research CC IMFOLE, to determine EIP3 amount, for primary and/or secondary taxpayer if FSC 2. If the taxpayer and/or secondary if FSC 2, has a TC 971 AC 199 with notation 2021AREB2019, 2021AREB2020, 2021AREBSSA, 2021AREBSSI, 2021AREBVA or 2021AREBRRB, Field MISC will display EIP3 amount received by the primary and/or secondary if FSC 2 in 2021. If a TC 971 AC 199 with the notation of 2021AREVREB is present, the advance payment was reversed and should not be included in the manual calculation. If the AGI exceeds the following threshold for the filing status, the credit is reduced. FSC 1/3/6: $75,000 to $80,000 FSC 4/7: $112,500 to $120,000 FSC 2/5: $150,000 to $160,000 Primary, secondary and all dependents being claimed for RRC must have a TIN assigned prior to the due date of the return. Research CC INOLE on primary, secondary and all dependents for the TIN assignment date. If all TINs were assigned by the due date of the return, continue to paragraph 4. If any TINs were not assigned by the due date of the return, do not include them in the manual calculation in paragraph 4. Exception: For FSC 2, research CC IMFOLE for a TC 971 AC 162 (Military Indicator) for primary and secondary. If a TC 971 AC 162 is posted and either spouse has a valid SSN, both taxpayers qualify for the credit. Manually compute the Recovery Rebate Credit for Tax Year 2021 using the TY 21 Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet. If the taxpayer qualifies for the credit, enter the manually computed amount in Field 05OTH and enter R in Field 05TYP. If Field 05OPR does not contain an entry, enter taxpayers amount from line 30 of Form 1040 into Field 05OPR. If there is an entry in Field 05OPR, add taxpayer amount from line 30 of Form 1040 with amount from Field 05OPR and enter combined amount in Field 05OPR. If the taxpayer does not qualify or the amount differs, see instructions below for the appropriate TPNC. Note: If multiple payments are made in Field 05OTH, enter V in Field 05TYP. If Field 03DSI is 1 (taxpayer can be claimed as a dependent on another return), use the following procedures: If... And... Then...

# Recovery Rebate Credit TY20 Only (EC 358)

3.12.3.31.9.12.2 (01-01-2026) Recovery Rebate Credit TY20 Only (EC 358) Taxpayers can figure their Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) after accounting for any economic impact payments received in 2020. Unless one of the special conditions below applies, taxpayer must meet the following criteria to qualify for the credit: Cannot be a dependent on another return. Must have a valid SSN assigned on or before the due date of the return. Exception: For FSC 2, research CC IMFOLE for a TC 971 AC 162 (Military Indicator) for primary and secondary. If a TC 971 AC 162 is posted and either spouse has a valid SSN, both taxpayers qualify for the credit. Taxpayers without a valid SSN or Military Indicator can claim RRC for dependents who meet the criteria in (c) below. Dependents must have a valid SSN assigned on or before the due date of the return and the dependent must be under age 17. Research CC INOLE for each dependent to ensure dependents are under age 17. Exception: A dependent with a valid ATIN (9XX-93-XXXX) qualifies the taxpayer for the credit if under age 17 regardless of TIN assignment date. Exception: A dependent who was born and died in 2020 qualifies the taxpayer for the credit without an SSN if proper documentary support (copy of birth certificate, death certificate or hospital records) is provided showing the child was born alive and died in 2020. The first part of the recovery rebate credit for 2020 is computed as $1,200 for each qualifying taxpayer plus $500 for each qualifying dependent if the AGI is below the threshold for the filing status MINUS the amount of the first economic impact payment (EIP1) received. The second part of the recovery rebate credit for 2020 is computed as $600 for each qualifying taxpayer plus $600 for each qualifying dependent, using the same AGI threshold and reduction rate as in (3) above MINUS the amount of the second economic impact payment (EIP2) received. Research CC IMFOLE for primary and/or secondary if FSC 2 to determine EIP1 and EIP2 amounts. If the taxpayer and/or secondary if FSC 2, has a TC 971 AC 199 with notation REB2018(EIP1), REB2019(EIP1), REB1099(EIP1), REBSSI(EIP1), REBVA(EIP1), ADDREB2019(EIP2), ADDREB1099(EIP2), ADDREBSSI(EIP2), or ADDREBVA(EIP2), Field MISC will display EIP amounts received by the primary and/or secondary if FSC 2 in 2020. If a TC 971 AC 199 with the notation of REVREB (EIP1) or ADDREVREB(EIP2) is present, the advance payment was reversed and should not be included in the manual calculation. If the AGI exceeds the following threshold for the filing status, the credit is reduced by 5 percent of the excess prior to subtracting the economic impact payment. FSC 1/3/6: $75,000 FSC 4/7: $112,500 FSC 2/5: $150,000 Primary, secondary and all dependents being claimed for RRC must have a TIN assigned prior to the due date of the return. Research CC INOLE on primary, secondary and all dependents for the TIN assignment date. If all TINs were assigned by the due date of the return, continue to paragraph 4. If any TINs were not assigned by the due date of the return, do not include them in the manual calculation in paragraph 4. Manually compute the Recovery Rebate Credit for Tax Year 2020 using the TY 20 Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet. If the taxpayer qualifies for the credit, enter the manually computed amount in Field 05OTH and enter R in Field 05TYP. If Field 05OPR does not contain an entry, enter taxpayers amount from line 30 of Form 1040 into Field 05OPR. If there is an entry in Field 05OPR, add taxpayer amount from line 30 of Form 1040 with amount from Field 05OPR and enter combined amount in Field 05OPR. If the taxpayer does not qualify or the amount differs, see instructions below for the appropriate TPNC. Note: If multiple payments are made in Field 05OTH, enter V in Field 05TYP. If Field 03DSI is 1 (taxpayer can be claimed as a dependent on another return), use the following procedures: If... And... Then... A] FSC is 2, Delete the entry in Field 03DSI, manually compute credit and enter amount in Field 05OTH and enter R in Field 05TYP. B] FSC is 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, The DSI box is checked for the primary, Assign TPNC 681.

# Second Correspondence Procedures

3.12.3.34 (01-01-2026) Second Correspondence Procedures When contact with the taxpayer has previously been made by any area of Submission Processing, including Form 3531 (greenies), treat missing information on a return as a No Reply, except in the situations listed below. Correspond a second time when any of the following exceptions apply, if it had not been requested during first correspondence and the taxpayer provided a complete reply: Error Code 268, Alternative Minimum Tax Liability Error Code 358, Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) Form 4137 when you can't determine which taxpayer is liable. Form 5329 when you can't determine which taxpayer is liable. Form 8606 when you can't determine which taxpayer is liable. Form 8919 when you can't determine which taxpayer is liable. Schedule H when you can't determine which taxpayer is liable. Schedule SE when you can't determine which taxpayer is liable. Error Code 028 or 029 displays after Code & Edit has corresponded or ERS has corresponded for "field errors only" When second correspondence is issued based on the exceptions in (1) a) through i), enter SSPND 212 and prepare the applicable Form 3696-A for LTR 1263C. Note: Refer to the Forms 3696-A located under Job Aids in the SERP ERS/Rejects portal. If ACA Error Code 100, 101, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 270, or 352 displays after first correspondence has been issued and the taxpayer has provided a complete reply, follow all correction procedures for the error code that displayed to determine if second correspondence is necessary. If second correspondence is necessary, enter SSPND 212 and follow the procedures under the error code for the appropriate paragraph(s) to send using Form 6001. Also, include paragraph g with fill-in #23. Exception: If correspondence has been issued for ACA Error Code 190 through 199, EC 270, or EC 352, and another ACA error code displays for the return requesting additional information, do not correspond. Follow No Reply procedures. Do not correspond a second time if the information was previously requested and the taxpayer did not provide the information or provided an incomplete response. Treat the return as a No Reply using the procedures in IRM 3.12.3.35.

# No Reply to Correspondence

3.12.3.35 (01-01-2026) No Reply to Correspondence The No Reply instructions are divided into the following parts: Form 1040 and associated Forms and Schedules Schedule 1 and associated Forms and Schedules Schedule 2 and associated Forms and Schedules Schedule 3 and associated Forms and Schedules To ensure all NAP values are current, you must revalidate. GTSEC 02 and enter R in Field 02RI. Caution: If the return closes prior to revalidating, recall the record with GTRECW and revalidate. Tax Examiners must ensure that correspondence was necessary before following any of the No Reply instructions. If the taxpayer's response is a complete reply, but we failed to ask for all necessary information, enter reply date in Field 88RPD and follow No-Reply instructions for missing information. For no reply, enter U in Field 01CCC. If a schedule is missing or other information is incomplete and the taxpayer does not reply to correspondence, follow No Reply instructions for all missing information. Note: If it was determined that correspondence was issued in error, do not enter U in Field 01CCC. If the initial correspondence is undeliverable, refer to IRM 3.12.37.22.8 for correction procedures. If you are instructed under Action To Be Taken to enter CCC 3, enter it in the first position of Field 01CCC. All other CCCs must follow it. If you are instructed under Action To Be Taken to enter Audit Code B, follow that instruction first, before taking any other action. Combat zone or military return. Refer to IRM 3.12.2.3.10.

Single filers - Enter CCC 3 when a single "combat zone/military return," described in IRM 3.12.2.3.10, has no signature after first correspondence. Joint filers - If the return is a joint filing and the signature for a taxpayer serving in a military area described in IRM 3.12.2.3.10 is missing, do not enter CCC 3 or correspond for the missing signature. Dummy returns from AM. AM sends Submission Processing returns that need to be reprocessed to another TIN or Tax Year. Like Submission Processing, AM requests any forms and schedules the taxpayer neglected to provide or complete, and also requests any required support for withholding or credits claimed. Do not correspond for any of these items if they're missing or incomplete or otherwise inadequate. Process the returns with no-reply procedures. Add CCC U to the returns with missing or incomplete information and CCC 3 in addition to refund returns. Exception: If the return is being processed as an original return without any change to TIN or Tax Year, correspond for any missing forms or schedules. Do not correspond for signature.

# No Reply for EC 018

3.12.3.35.1.1 (01-01-2026) No Reply for EC 018 If the Primary or the Secondary NAP Date of Death is present and prior to the tax period of the return, enter 3 in the first position of Field 01CCC and correct the filing status as indicated: If the filing status is... And... Then... A] FSC 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, Enter 0 in the first position of Field 94EXV. Enter B in Field 01RPC. If CTC/ODC/ACTC is claimed enter 00 in Field 94CEV/94DEV as appropriate. B] FSC 2, no dependents, The primary/spouse shows a date of death that is prior to the period covered on the return and no dependent children are claimed, Delete the name of the deceased taxpayer from Field 01NL1. Change to FSC 1. Correct Field 01PS and/or 01SS as appropriate. Adjust Field 01EXC as appropriate. C] FSC 2, dependents claimed, The primary/spouse shows a date of death that is prior to period covered on the return and dependent children are claimed, Delete the name of the deceased taxpayer from Field 01NL1.

Enter B in Field 01RPC If CTC/ODC/ACTC is claimed enter 00 in Field 94CEV/94DEV as appropriate If a dependent NAP date of death is prior to the tax period of the return, enter the number of allowable dependents in Field 94EXV by totaling the number of exemptions claimed in positions 3 through 8 of Field 01EXC and subtracting the sum of all dependents that have a date of death prior to the tax period of the return. Example: 4 dependents were claimed, one dependent's date of death is prior to the tax period of the return: Example: Field 01EXC 10400000 Field 94EXV 10300000 If a Child Care Dependent's NAP date of death is prior to the tax period of the return and the child is not being claimed as a dependent on the return, delete the SSN from Field 21DS1 and/or 21DS2, as appropriate. If EC 280 displays, assign TPNC 706. If a Child Tax Credit/Additional Child Tax Credit child's NAP date of death is prior to the tax period of the return, GTSEC 02 and enter 0 (zero) in Field 02CT1/2/3/4 of the appropriate child. If EC 299 and/or 344 displays, assign TPNC 706 (TY17 and prior, assign TPNC 609). If a Schedule EIC child's NAP date of death is prior to the tax period of the return and the child is not being claimed as a dependent on the return, delete the SSN from Field 43SS1/2/3, as appropriate. If EC 337 displays, assign TPNC 706. If there are more than four dependent SSNs present on the return and all four of the transcribed SSNs have a NAP Access Indicator of 2 or 9, validate the other dependents using CC INOLE. Enter the number of allowable dependents in Field 94EXV. Note: If it is determined that a Child Care Dependent or an EIC child's TIN is invalid and the same child is listed as a fifth or subsequent dependent, adjust positions 3 through 8 of Field 94EXV accordingly. If no valid dependents are present in Field 94EXV (positions 3 through 8 are 0 (zero)) and Field 01FSC is 4, determine if the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 4 without dependents (see IRM 3.12.3.6.2.3, EC 034). If the taxpayer qualifies for FSC 4 without dependents, change Field 01FSC to 7. If the taxpayer does not qualify, changed Field 01FSC to 1. If no valid dependents are present in Field 94EXV (positions 3 through 8 are 0 (zero)) and Field 01FSC is 5, determine if the taxpayer qualifies, see IRM 3.12.3.6.2.3, EC 034. If the: taxpayer qualifies for FSC 4 without dependents (Ex. date of death more than two years prior to tax period), change Field 01FSC to 7. taxpayer qualifies for FSC 5, enter C in the Clear Field. If the Child Care Dependent or EIC Child(ren) TINs are invalid and are not the same children claimed as exemptions, enter the number of allowable exemptions claimed in Field 01EXC in Field 94EXV. If RPC O or DSI 1 is present, and entries are made in Field 94EXV, enter 0 (zero) in the first position of Field 94EXV to disallow the exemption for the primary taxpayer. If a change to Field 94EXV causes Error Code 250 to generate, it may be necessary to assign a combination of TPNCs if more than one date of death is prior to the tax period of the return or the filing status has been changed. For TY95 and prior, ensure that the exemptions transcribed in Field 01EXC were entered correctly, then enter the exemptions in 01EXC into 94EXV.
