# Program Scope and Objectives

3.22.19.1 (11-10-2021) Program Scope and Objectives Purpose: This IRM provides Error Resolution instructions for correcting Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions with Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, and 3520-A, Annual Information Return of Foreign Trust with a U.S. Owner, on the Error Registers and Error Resolution system. Audience: These procedures apply to IRS employees with responsibility for correcting the information on returns in ERS including Supervisory Tax Examining Assistant, Lead Tax Examining Technicians, and Tax Examining Technicians, primarily the international team at the Ogden Submission Processing Center (OSPC). Policy Owner: The Director of Submission Processing is over the policies in this IRM. Program Owner: The Code & Edit/ERS IMF Section of the Return Processing Branch of Submission Processing. Primary Stakeholders: Submission Processing (SP) and Large Business and International (LB&I).

# Background

3.22.19.1.1 (11-10-2021) Background The Form 3520 is used to report ownership of a foreign trust by a U.S. person, transactions with foreign trusts and gifts or bequests received from foreign persons. The Form 3520 not only includes persons but corporations, partnerships, foundations, and estates. An extension is automatically given for Form 3520 when the taxpayer files an extension for their income tax return. The Form 3520-A gives a complete record of the trust's activities, operations, and other relevant information. The U.S. owner is responsible to provide information about who received a distribution from the trust if in the U.S. and also must file a Substitute Form 3520-A if the trust does not file. Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Certain Business Income Tax, Information and Other Returns, must be filed to request an extension of time. Any tax from income on the Form 3520-A will be paid with the filers tax return.

# Authority

3.22.19.1.2 (11-10-2021) Authority Authority for these procedures include the following sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and their corresponding Treasury Regulations: IRC 1441 - IRC 1465, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations IRC 1471 - IRC 1474, Taxes to Enforce Reporting on Certain Foreign Accounts IRC 6201, Assessment Authority IRC 6213(b), Restrictions Applicable to Deficiencies IRC 6301, Collection Authority IRC 6302, Mode or Time of Collection IRC 6402, Authority to Make Credits or Refunds IRC 6511, Limitations on Credit or Refund

# Responsibilities

3.22.19.1.3 (11-09-2017) Responsibilities The Director, SP Office monitors operational performance for the Submission Processing campus. The Operations Manager watches operational performance for their operation. The team manager/lead monitors performance and ensuring employees have the tools to perform their duties.

# Program Management and Review

3.22.19.1.4 (11-10-2021) Program Management and Review Program Reports: The Monitoring Section under Submission Processing Program Management/Process Assurance monitors the ERS reports. Daily, weekly, and a periodic report is available to management through control-D Web Access to manage inventory and capture data for program planning and review. Refer to IRM 3.12.38, Error Resolution, BMF General Instructions, for a complete listing and description of ERS reports. Some of the reports for 3520 and 3520-A are: Form 6826, SCRS Error/Reject Display Request Card, is used daily to select the needed printouts for the 3520 returns. The Error Sort Card on SCRS, will show old requests, old error sort parameters used, requests input and new error sort parameters. This allows for information about and control of 3520 returns. Reports GMF 10-42 and GMF 10-43 provide the error pull list and daily volume reports. Command Code QRSEL is used to select documents to stay on the ERS Database one extra day from them being worked, to allow for review and correction. The information for the work selected is stored on the Control D System. Report LC76440 can be found on Control D daily. Using the reports menu, the following types of information can be generated: Julian Date, Notice Report, Dollar Reports, Employee Report or a Custom Select Report. Report LC76301 can be found on Control D daily. This report is input in the CARE 2.03 Access Database to generate accuracy reports for each return. Command Code SCFTR, and Command Code ERVIN can both be used to show what current status the return is in. ERVIN is only available while the return is in ERS inventory, while SCFTR is long term. Program Controls: The program Controls are measured by the following reviews: Embedded Quality Submission Processing (EQSP) IRM 3.30.30, Embedded Quality for Submission Processing Computer Assisted Review of Error Resolution (CARE) Balanced Measures Managerial Reviews Annual Review: This IRM is updated and reviewed annually to ensure accuracy and promote consistent tax administration. Review and concurrence are performed by affected offices according to the clearance process established in IRM 1.11.9, Internal management Documents, Clearing and Approving Internal Management Documents (IMD), prior to publishing.

# ♦IRS Employee Contacts♦

3.22.19.2.1 (11-09-2017) ♦IRS Employee Contacts♦ The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA98), Section 3705(a), gives identification requirements for all IRS employees working tax-related matters. All IRS employees who communicate by telephone, face-to-face, or any other method of correspondence with taxpayers or their personal representatives on tax-related matters must give (at a minimum) the following information: Telephone Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name and badge identification (ID Card) number. Toll-free employees may also give their location for identification purposes. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information. Face-to-Face Contact - Their title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), give as proper during the conversation, their last name and badge identification (ID Card) number. Correspondence (sent to the taxpayer and authorized representatives) - A telephone number that taxpayers can call for answers to questions. In addition, manually generated correspondence must have the employee's title (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss), last name, Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) number, and letter system number, which are systemically generated by IDRS. Treat faxes to taxpayers on tax-related matters as correspondence and include the required information. Correspondex letters - Specific employee name and telephone number if the employee initiating the correspondence is in the best position to respond to any questions the taxpayer may have or if the taxpayer is being asked to give more case-related information. If the taxpayer does not need to contact a specific employee, the correspondence needs only an IRS telephone number and standard signature. When a taxpayer requests to speak with a specific employee who previously worked their inquiry or request, or complains about the level of service previously given, make every effort to resolve the taxpayer's inquiry. If unable to resolve the issue, refer the inquiry using established procedures to the manager. Secretaries, receptionists, or other people who answer the telephone in functional offices need to identify themselves. They should provide their badge identification (ID Card) number only if they are answering telephones which are routinely used to give tax or account information. It is not necessary to repeat the badge identification (ID Card) number on a subsequent contact, when the nature of an employee's work involves multiple contacts with the same taxpayer and the employee has given the taxpayer (either by telephone or in-person) their badge identification (ID Card) number on the first contact.

# ♦Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)♦

3.22.19.2.2 (01-01-2023) ♦Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)♦ The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate. Its job is to protect taxpayers' rights by striving to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TBOR). TAS offers free help to taxpayers, including when taxpayers face financial difficulties due to an IRS problem, when they are unable to resolve tax problems they haven't been able to resolve on their own, or when they need assistance to address an IRS system, process, or procedure that is not functioning as it should. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. TAS uses Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR). to start the OAR process of referring a case to the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, to affect the resolution of the taxpayer's problem. For more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, Taxpayer Advocate Service, Taxpayer Advocate Case Procedures, Advocating With Operations Assistance Request (OARs). Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria or when Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (and Application for Taxpayer Assistance Order), is attached and steps cannot be taken to resolve the taxpayers issue the same day. The definition of "same day resolution" is within 24 hours. The following two situations meet the definition of "same day resolution" : The issue can be resolved within 24 hours. IRS takes steps within 24 hours to resolve the taxpayer's issue. When making a TAS referral, use Form 911, and forward to TAS following your local procedures. See IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria, for more information.

# ♦TAS Service Level Agreements (SLA)♦

3.22.19.2.2.1 (01-01-2024) ♦TAS Service Level Agreements (SLA)♦ The National Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners of the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, Small Business/ Self-Employed (SB/SE) Division, Tax Exempt Government Entities (TE/GE) Division, Criminal Investigation (CI), Appeals, and Large Business and International (LB&I) Division, outline the procedures and responsibilities for the processing of Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) casework when either the statutory or delegated authority to complete case transactions rests outside of TAS. These agreements are known as Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The SLAs are found at Service Level Agreements.

# ♦Business Master File (BMF) Identification (ID) Theft♦

3.22.19.2.3 (11-09-2017) ♦Business Master File (BMF) Identification (ID) Theft♦ BMF Identification (ID) Theft is increasing. If a case is found with attachments or correspondence showing the taxpayer is a victim of "ID Theft" : SSPND with Action Code 360 to route the return to Planning and Analysis (P&A). Attach Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, (or other proper routing slip) with the notation "ID THEFT" . Give the entire case to the manager/lead. The manager/lead will expedite the case to the P&A staff for referral to one of the Submission Processing (SP) BMF ID Theft liaisons. The taxpayer must show that they are a victim of "ID Theft" ; do not send cases that are subject to Criminal Investigation (CI), Examination (Exam), or Fraud review.

# ♦IRM Deviation Procedures♦

3.22.19.2.4 (04-10-2024) ♦IRM Deviation Procedures♦ Submit IRM deviations in writing following instructions from IRM 1.11.2.2.3, When Procedures Deviate from the IRM, and elevate through proper channels for executive approval.

# ♦Use of Fax for Taxpayer Submissions♦

3.22.19.2.5 (01-05-2022) ♦Use of Fax for Taxpayer Submissions♦ Taxpayers may send tax return information via fax as part of return perfection even when submitting a signature. In circumstances where contact with the taxpayer was made and documented, faxed signatures are acceptable. Contact with the taxpayer may be by telephone or correspondence. Follow local procedures to decide which method of contact to use. Indicate the fax paragraph on the approved Correspondence Action Sheet to inform the taxpayer of the fax options. Use the following resources to make sure you are speaking with the taxpayer or authorized representative before disclosing any tax information: IRM 21.1.3.2.3, Required Taxpayer Authentication IRM 21.1.3.2.4, Additional Taxpayer Authentication Before leaving any messages on a taxpayer's answering machine, review: IRM 10.5.1.6.7.2, Answering Machine or Voicemail IRM 10.8.1, Information Technology (IT) Security, Policy and Guidance

# General Disclosure Guidelines

3.22.19.2.6 (01-01-2015) General Disclosure Guidelines IRC 6103 establishes the taxpayers right to privacy of tax information. You must be sure that you provide correct information to the correct taxpayer or authorized representative. Check IDRS Command Code (CC) CFINK for a power of attorney (POA). Taxpayer returns and return information must remain confidential as provided for in IRC 6103, Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information. IRC 7431 provides civil damages for unauthorized disclosure of returns and return information. IRC 7213 and IRC 7213A provide criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized inspection of returns and return information and require employees be discharged from duty if charged and convicted of these offenses. For more information on General Disclosure Guidelines refer to IRM 21.1.3, Operational Guidelines Overview and for full discussions refer to IRM 11.3.1 Introduction to Disclosure through IRM 11.3.40, Disclosures Involving Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Assessments.

# Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

3.22.19.2.7 (11-09-2017) Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and the fourth and fifth digits are within the following ranges: 50-65, 70-88, 90-92, and 94-99. The ranges are listed below. 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 IRS issues ITINs to individuals who must have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have U.S. tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code. Forward any Form W-7 and the required supporting documentation (e.g., passports, birth certificates, etc.) to the ITIN Unit located at the Austin Submission Processing Campus.

# ♦Business Master File (BMF) Consistency♦

3.22.19.2.8 (01-01-2015) ♦Business Master File (BMF) Consistency♦ The purpose of this initiative is to achieve consistency in the Business Master File (BMF) Error Resolution System (ERS) processing IRMs. Ogden, Kansas City, and Return Processing Branch, BMF Code and Edit and Error Resolution System (ERS) identified and developed topics for BMF Consistency. A ♦ (diamond) before and after the subsection title shows BMF Consistency subsections. Text in normal print is the common process for BMF returns. The text in BOLD print is form specific and applies to this IRM only.

# ♦Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2♦

3.22.19.2.8.1 (11-09-2017) ♦Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2♦ The Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) 2 Program Office in Headquarters is charged with the primary goal of implementing a single, modernized programming solution that gives daily processing of taxpayer accounts. The CADE 2 solution is comprised of several components to modernize the IRS to a daily processing environment with several Transition States. The Business Master File (BMF) campus cycles are: Campus Cycle: Thursday - Wednesday Master File Processing: Friday - Thursday Notice Review: Saturday - Monday (8+ days) Unpostables: New available Tuesday; Closing Tuesday BMF transaction posting timeframes are: Transactions will be viewable using Corporate Files Online (CFOL) command codes on Saturday following the weekly Master File processing run on Thursday. Transactions will be viewable as posted transactions using Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) command codes on Monday, following the weekly Master File processing run on Thursday. Note: Implementation of CADE 2 accelerated weekly IDRS analysis. Previously, transactions such as this would have been pending on IDRS and not shown in the CFOL command code displays. Transaction posting dates show a format of YYYYCCDD. YYYY is the year. CC is the posting cycle. Individual Master File (IMF) transactions values for DD are: 01 = Friday 02 = Monday 03 = Tuesday 04 = Wednesday 05 = Thursday Note: BMF cycle posting dates on BMFOL will continue to show YYYYCC. YYYY is the year. CC is the posting cycle. BMF posting cycles in TXMOD will show a format of YYYYCCDD. The DD value is 08.

# ♦Working Trail♦

3.22.19.2.9 (01-01-2023) ♦Working Trail♦ It is important to leave a legible Working Trail (or Action Trail) using blue ink for those who may work with the return later. For Form 3520-A, write all Taxpayer Notice Codes (TPNCs) 90 on the front of the return in the upper left corner (or use Form 12648, Error Correction 90 TPNC). If corresponding with a non-suspense letter, X and write the corrected money amounts to the left of each original point(s) of error. Write money amounts in dollars only or dollars and cents, as applicable. Arrowing is allowed for money amounts when there are no intervening entries between the arrow and the line to which the money is to be entered. Leave a working trail on the return when changes are made to the following items: Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) Tax Period Received Date Computer Condition Code (CCC) Correspondence Received Date (CRD) Reminder: Circle out incorrect Employer Identification Numbers (EINs), Social Security Numbers (SSNs), Tax Periods, and Received Dates. When working Reject re-inputs, circle out any previous Action Codes shown on the front of the return, if no longer applicable. When working Rejects, line through the DLN in red and write Voided with the date above the DLN, when voiding a return.

# Error Register

3.22.19.2.10 (01-01-2015) Error Register Documents on which the transcribed data failed one or more of the consistencies, math verification, or validity tests in the computer program. The Error Register is made up of Sections and Fields that directly or indirectly relate to the Data Sections and items transcribed and input to the computer.

# Loop Register

3.22.19.2.11 (01-01-2015) Loop Register An error or reject record that had a correction input, but still contains an invalid or math error needing correction.

# Section Error

3.22.19.2.12 (01-01-2015) Section Error A part of a record containing data fields for a specific schedule or part of the source document. Each Section is identified by a two-digit section number.

# Field Error

3.22.19.2.13 (11-09-2017) Field Error A field is a specific line of information picked up from a form, schedule, or other document. A section on the Error Register contains a certain number of fields that always appear, whether the field contains an entry or is blank. Each field is shown by an Alpha Indicator (letter) which is located at the beginning of each field. A field is either FIXED (no field breaker) or VARIABLE (ends with a field breaker).

# Field Breaker

3.22.19.2.14 (01-01-2015) Field Breaker A field breaker is a special symbol which means the end of a variable field. Note: A variable field is any field that ends with a field breaker. The most common field breaker is a plus sign (+), although some fields can end with a minus sign (-), indicating a loss or a refund. The field breaker will always appear at the end of the field whether it contains data or not. When changing the data in a field on the Error Register and you enter a positive field breaker, enter a comma (,) and not the plus sign (+). When changing the data in a field on the Error Register and you enter a negative field breaker, enter a pound (#) sign and not the minus sign (-). Do not line through a field breaker unless you are changing it to a different one. Example: You would not line through a plus sign and enter a comma above it; however, you would only line through the data in the field and leave the field breaker alone. When a section is added to the error register, only the fields which contain data are actually entered onto the register. The field breakers used would be the comma and/or pound sign, as required, but not the plus or minus sign. A few fields on the error register do not end with a field breaker, or any other indication of the end of the field. These are known as "Fixed" fields. Information for these fields will be found in the IRM under each specific field explanation.

# Error Register Action Codes

3.22.19.2.15 (01-01-2015) Error Register Action Codes Action codes show that specific information is missing or that the record is to be rejected from processing. The Action Code must contain enough detail to show if correspondence needs to be sent to the taxpayer or specific in-house research or action required. Only one action code may be entered in any one section of the Error Register to correct that section. The Action Codes valid for this program are, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. If two incompatible action codes are required, the return must "loop" . The definitions and rules of usage for the following action codes apply to the Error Register Correction Procedures. Action Code Action Purpose Location May use more than one code 2 Rejects use only Used with Reject Designators D, R or N To the left of Section 01 No 3 To reject a record from the Error Resolution System To reject a document that is unprocessable To the left of Section 01 No 4 To delete a section from the error register Whenever a section is not needed To the left of the section being deleted Yes 5 To add a section to the Error Register When data is present for a section but has not been entered To the left of the section being added Yes 6 To correct data fields with a section When data is missing or incorrect in a field To the left of the section being corrected Yes 7 To clear the Error Register Whenever there is a validity check and no corrections are necessary To the left of Section 01 No 9 Rejects use only To put a Loop Register into Re-reject (RAW) Status To the left of Section 01 on a reject loop No

# Action Code "2"

3.22.19.2.15.1 (01-01-2015) Action Code "2" Action Code "2" is used only in the Rejects unit. Reminder: No other action code can be with Action Code "2" . Enter to the left of Section "01" . Action Code "2" must be used with reject designator. D – Delete (voids) record N – Re-number R – Re-input (with Form 3893) Note: If it is necessary to re-number a return on LOOP, it will be necessary to use Action Code "9" to bring the record back to RAW (reject) status, then have it re-numbered. "D" and "R" can be used on Rejects Loop Register.

# Action Code "3"

3.22.19.2.15.2 (01-01-2015) Action Code "3" Action Code "3" to reject a document that is unprocessable or Non-ADP (Automated Data Processing). Reminder: When using Action Code "3" , do not use any other Action Code. Enter to the left of Section "01." This code can be used only by the Service Center Replacement System (SCRS) unit to send a return to the Rejects unit. It cannot be used on the Rejects Register.

# Action Code "4"

3.22.19.2.15.3 (01-01-2015) Action Code "4" Use Action Code "4" to delete any section of a record when the section is not required. Example: DO NOT USE Action Code "4" in Section "01" of a record. Enter to the left of the section that needs to be deleted. Action Codes "4" , "5" , and "6" may be used on the same Error Register, but only in different sections. If a section appears on the Error Register but contains no significant data: It is not necessary to delete the section, unless entering Computer Condition Code (CCC) "G" . The section will be automatically deleted when the record posts. Note: Do not use Action Code "4" to delete a (computer-generated) section with all fields blank, which shows an asterisk (*) before the section number. If no data is to be added to a field in this section, ignore it. If no other correction is required for the record, use Action Code "7" to clear it. Using action code "4" with such a section will result in an invalid correction attempt (AA) on the Loop.

# Action Code "5"

3.22.19.2.15.4 (01-01-2015) Action Code "5" Action Code "5" is used to: Add a missing section to the record. Use it to add a missing section that must be present but has not printed on the Error Register. Exception: DO NOT USE Acton Code "5" in Section "01" of a record. Enter to the left of a section that needs to be added. When adding a section, Enter only fields that have data. Enter the Alpha Field Designation and the proper field breakers for each field entered (e.g., "5 06A1000," Action Code "5" , Section 06, field A, positive amount 1000). Action Codes "4" , "5" , and "6" may be used on the same Error Register, but only in different sections.

# Action Code "6"

3.22.19.2.15.5 (01-01-2015) Action Code "6" Action Code "6" is used to show that at least one field in that section requires correction. This code is entered to the left of the section number. There is no limit to the number of sections which can accept Action Code "6" on an error record, or to the number of fields in a section that can be corrected. Note: Correct as many fields as possible with Action Code "6" on each correction run. When Action Code "6" is used on the Error Register, at least one field in the section must be corrected (if the "6" is found not to be needed, erase it from the register). Line through the erroneous data following the field designator. Enter the correct data above the lined-through data, changing the field breaker only if it is to be changed also (if not do not line through the field breaker). Because a Fixed field has no field breaker, unused spaces must be accounted for. This will affect only the name control (other fixed fields either must be present in full or cannot be corrected). See the instructions under the fixed fields for more information. If any transcription entry is wrong, illegible, on the wrong line, or on an attachment, Enter the information on the applicable line on the return (or arrow up or down to the correct line, if possible). Enter the information into the correct field on the Error Register. Note: If the section containing the field is already on the register, use Action Code "6" to enter the data into the field. If the section containing the required field is not on the register, use Action Code "5" to add the section to the record and enter the data into the required field. Action Codes "5" and "6" cannot be used for the same section on the same correction run. Action Codes "4" , "5" , and "6" can all be used on the same record, but only in different sections.

# Action Code "7"

3.22.19.2.15.6 (01-01-2015) Action Code "7" Action Code "7" is used to show that the data on the Error Register is correct and that no action is necessary. Reminder: When Action Code "7" is used, no other Action Code is valid. Enter to the left of Section "01" . The most common use of Action Code "7" is on Loop when there is the "AA" (invalid correction attempt) on the top line of the error record. Not every invalid correction attempt made by Transcription will appear as an error on the Error Register. When the "AA" appears, examine the fields in the record and if no error is seen, use Action Code "7" .

# Action Code "9"

3.22.19.2.15.7 (01-01-2015) Action Code "9" Action Code "9" is used only on Loop Reject Registers. It is not valid on RAW rejects registers or on SCRS Error Registers at all. Reminder: No other action code can be used with Action Code "9" . This code is entered to the left of Section 01. Action Code "9" is used to bring a Loop Reject record back to the RAW (called re-reject) status. This is required because some operations cannot be done on a Loop Register, such as having a document re-numbered, sending a document to another area in the campus or corresponding to a taxpayer. Note: It is possible to void (2-D) or re-input (2-R and Form 3893) on Loop. The Action Code "9" is not needed in these circumstances.

# ♦Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) Returns♦

3.22.19.2.16.2 (01-25-2024) ♦Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) Returns♦ Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII) is an inventory system for scanning all Account Management (AM) receipts into digital images and working the cases from those images. Note: Correspondence Imaging System (CIS) changed to Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII). "CII" returns are shown with "CII Image - Do not correspond for signature" stamped below the signature line or "CII" annotated on the front of the return. Follow the instructions below for processing "CII" returns: CII Return Correspondence Criteria If And Then The "CII" return has a Form 13596, Reprocessing Returns, attached, The return is incomplete (e.g., missing signature, schedules, or forms), Do not correspond. Remove the return from the batch and SSPND with Action Code 640 to have the DLN voided. Attach Form 4227, Intra SC Reject or Routing Slip, (or other proper routing slip) to the return and route to AM to secure missing information. If the return comes back from AM with incomplete information, send the return to AM again to secure all the missing information. Indicate "More information needed to process incomplete CII return," or similar language on Form 4227 (or other proper routing slip). The "CII" return has a Form 13596, Reprocessing Returns, attached and the return is incomplete (e.g., missing signature, schedules, or forms), The return shows correspondence was sent (e.g., CCC "3" is edited on the return), Do not route the return to AM. Continue processing the return. The "CII" return does not have a Form 13596, Reprocessing Returns, attached, The return is incomplete (e.g., missing signature, schedules, or forms), Research for prior posting (TC 150 posted). If TC 150 is present and the information is the same, cancel the DLN and treat as classified waste. Note: Classified waste is documentation containing taxpayer entity or account information that is not part of the case and is not needed for audit trail purposes. If TC 150 is not present, follow normal correspondence procedures.

Also accept a return as timely: If it is postmarked or mailed on the next workday when the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday; or If the return is mailed in time to reach the IRS through normal handling within the legal period but, through no fault of the taxpayer, it is not delivered; or If it appears that the Post Office might have sent it to another government agency in error (e.g., Social Security Administration (SSA)); or If the original envelope bears a timely postmark or a timely date stamp by the other government agency; or Note: If the return is erroneously addressed to another IRS office, it will be date stamped by that office. Use that date as the earliest IRS received date. If delinquent return is secured by Exam; or If the return (Form 3520 or Form 3520-A) is delinquent, check the return for a reason of late filing. If the taxpayer attaches correspondence with a reasonable cause explanation for failure to file a timely return: Do not detach the reasonable cause statement from the original return. Do not edit CCC "R" . Issue Letter 1382C, using paragraphs "S" and "9" . Attach a photocopy of Form 3520, Page 1 or Form 3520-A, Page 3. Continue processing the return. For tax years beginning after 2016, the due date for Form 3520 has changed to the 15th day of the fourth month following the end of the filer's tax year. If the filer is granted an extension of time to file an income tax return, the Form 3520 is extended based on the income tax return extension. For tax years 2016 and earlier, the due date for Form 3520 is the same as the due date for the filer's income tax return, including extensions, or in the case of a decedent, the estate return. If the taxpayer resides overseas, the individual is entitled to an automatic 2-month extension without requesting an extension. As a calendar year taxpayer, the individual may have until June 15th to file his or her income tax return. The filing of an extension to file Form 3520 is dependent upon the U.S. taxpayer filing an extension for their U.S. income tax return, which extends automatically to the Form 3520. Example: An individual filing Form 1040 return can request an extension of time to file their Form 1040 with Form 4868. An approved Form 4868 extension to file Form 1040, is also valid for filing Form 3520. Form 4868 cannot be used to file for an extension request, for the SOLE purpose of obtaining an extension for filing Form 3520. Reminder: Unlike Form 3520, a separate extension form must be used to request an extension for filing Form 3520-A. The taxpayer responsible for filing Form 3520-A must file Form 7004 to obtain an extension for the filing of Form 3520-A. The due date for Form 3520-A is the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of the trust tax year, March 15. Exception: A substitute 3520-A is due the same time as filers Tax Return is due. If the Tax Return is due 04/15/XX then a substitute 3520-A will be due 04/15/XX. If a return is delivered to the IRS after the date prescribed for filing, then; Consider the postmark date stamped on the envelope as the date of delivery Consider the return as timely if the postmark date falls on or before the prescribed date for filing the return

# Compliance Secured/Prepared Returns

3.22.19.2.18.3 (01-01-2015) Compliance Secured/Prepared Returns Compliance functions secure returns from the taxpayer and also prepare returns if the taxpayer does not provide them. Prepared tax returns are notated with "6020(b)" or "SFR" (Substitute for Return). Secured tax returns are notated with "TC 59X" or "ICS" (Integrated Collection System) or notated "Process as Original" with an attached Form 13133, Expedite Processing Cycle. The "Delinquent Return" box on Form 13133 should be checked.

# IRC 6020(b) - Prepared by Collection

3.22.19.2.18.4 (01-01-2015) IRC 6020(b) - Prepared by Collection When the taxpayer does not file a required return, IRC 6020(b) is the authority for the IRS to prepare the return. These returns are identified by the notation: "PREPARED AND SIGNED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF SECTION 6020(b) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE" which is located in the center bottom of Page 1 of the return. Returns must have a Received Date. If no Received Date is present per the Compliance Function, follow the normal procedures for editing the Received Date. Returns must be signed by Compliance Function representative. If not signed, route to Compliance using Form 4227. Enter CCC "4" . Note: CCC "R" should not be used with CCC "4" . Do Not correspond with the taxpayer for unprocessable conditions. If the return is completely unprocessable, enter CCC "U" and continue processing. Enter CCC "W" (Form 3520-A Only)) if the Received Date is more than two years and nine months after the Return Due Date. Do Not send the return to Statute Control. Perfect Form 3520 or Form 3520-A using the information on the return and its attachments. If the return is otherwise unprocessable: Prepare Form 4227 to reject using Action Code "3" , if Form 3520, or suspend with Action Code "360" (other routing) if Form 3520-A. Write the point of the error or unprocessable condition on Form 4227. Upon receipt, Rejects will contact the Compliance function to identify the revenue officer/agent to be contacted, and then contact the responsible revenue officer/agent to acquire the information needed to complete the return.

# Collection Secured

3.22.19.2.18.5 (01-01-2015) Collection Secured These returns are identified by the notations: "TC 59X" or "ICS" . Do Not enter CCC "G" on these returns. Correspond for conditions that cannot be processed (e.g., missing signatures, missing schedules, etc.) Enter CCC "W" (Form 3520-A Only) if the Received Date is more than two years and nine months after the Return Due Date. Do Not send the return to Statute Control. If the return is incomplete, enter Action Code 3 (if Form 3520), or suspend with Action Code 360 (if Form 3520-A). Then delete the Document Locator Number (DLN) and route to Collection on a Form 3210 transmittal.

# Examination Prepared

3.22.19.2.18.6 (01-01-2015) Examination Prepared These returns are identified by the notation: "SFR" or "SUBSTITUTE FOR RETURN" on Page 1. Note: If return is noted as secured by exam, do not correspond. Enter Action Code 3 for Form 3520 or suspend with Action Code 640 for Form 3520-A. Return must have a Received Date. If no Received Date is present, follow the normal procedures for editing the Received Date. Do Not correspond with the taxpayer for unprocessable conditions. If the return is completely unprocessable, use No Reply procedures and enter CCC "3," attach Form 4227 and continue processing. If Form 13133 is attached, enter the Computer Condition Codes that are checked on the form. Note: CCC "R" should not be used with a CCC "4" . Enter CCC "W" (Form 3520-A Only) if the Received Date is more than two years and nine months after the Return Due Date. Do Not send the return to Statute Control. If an unprocessable condition exists, then: Prepare Form 4227 Enter Action Code 3 for Form 3520 or suspend with Action Code 640 for Form 3520-A. Rejects will route the return back to Examination after voiding the document using Action Code 2D for Form 3520, and RJECT 640 for Form 3520-A. When the return is a substitute return prepared by Examination, then Document 13133, Expedite Processing Cycle, will have been attached by Examination. These returns do not need to be cleared by the Statute Unit. Enter CCC 4 in Field 01-G of Form 3520 or Field 01CCC for Form 3520-A.

# ♦Frivolous Arguments♦

3.22.19.2.18.8 (01-01-2023) ♦Frivolous Arguments♦ Businesses use frivolous arguments for expressing dissatisfaction with the substance, form or administration of the tax laws by trying to illegally avoid or reduce tax liabilities. See IRM 25.25.10, Frivolous Return Program, and Exhibit 3.22.19-8, Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review, for a list of recognized frivolous arguments made by businesses. Review the return to decide whether it appears to be a frivolous return. Frivolous Return Criteria If Then The return meets any of the conditions shown as a frivolous return (see Exhibit 3.22.19-8, Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review). Exception: If the return shows Action Code 331 or Action Code "3" and has a Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, attached with the remarks, "Refer to Exam FRP for audit after processing" , continue to next procedure. Remove return from the batch and place the return in the locally designated basket for Examination, Frivolous Return Program (FRP) for review. Examination has selected the return as frivolous, shown by an Action Code 331 or Action Code "3" and a Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, with the remarks "Refer to Exam FRP for audit after processing," but sends the return for processing, Continue processing the return using procedures in IRM. However, do not circle or void the Action Code showing a frivolous return. Do not consider the following returns as frivolous, unless there is other evidence of a frivolous argument: Returns that have only zeros, blanks, or no entries. Returns showing "None" , "Not Liable" , etc.

# ♦Examination (Exam) "Funny Box" ♦

3.22.19.2.19 (11-09-2017) ♦Examination (Exam) "Funny Box" ♦ The primary goal in identifying tax returns for examination is to promote the highest degree of voluntary compliance. Examination gives support and helps Submission Processing (SP) with any questionable return found during processing. Exam has a vast multitude of programs and tolerance criteria already found in several IRM sections. SP can refer any questionable return to Exam, unless prohibited by instructions currently found in several IRMs.

# Validity Errors

3.22.19.3 (01-01-2015) Validity Errors Three general types of errors that will cause a record to print on the Error Register are: Field Validity Errors Section Validity Errors Math/Consistency Errors

# Field Validity Errors

3.22.19.3.1 (01-01-2015) Field Validity Errors These errors result when required data is missing, or when incorrect data is present. These errors are shown by an asterisk (*) printed before the invalid field. An asterisk may also be printed before a field for verification purposes. Correction Procedures: Compare the return entry with the Error Register field. Enter Action Code "6" . Line out the incorrect field. Enter the correct data immediately above the lined-out data.

# Section Validity Errors

3.22.19.3.2 (01-01-2015) Section Validity Errors These errors include: Missing data Extraneous data Integrated Submission and Remittance Process (ISRP) errors Terminus errors

# Missing Section Errors

3.22.19.3.2.1 (01-01-2015) Missing Section Errors Missing Section Errors are caused by the transcription of an unnecessary section. These errors are shown by one pound sign (#) preceding the section number.

# Extraneous Section Errors

3.22.19.3.2.2 (01-01-2015) Extraneous Section Errors Extraneous Section Errors are caused by the transcription of an unnecessary section. These errors are shown by one pound sign (#) preceding the section number.

# Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) Errors

3.22.19.3.2.3 (01-01-2015) Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) Errors ISRP Errors are caused when too many characters have been entered for a field. Extra characters are dropped when the data is converted to Error Register format. These errors are printed to the left of the Section Number and will be shown on the Error Register as described in (4), (5), (6) and (7) below: "#1" : Split screen transmission: The Key Verifier tried to change Check Digit. The Key Verifier changed four or more digits of TIN. The Original Entry operator entered required Section as "missing" . "#3" : Invalid Section ending point. "#4" : Invalid field length. "#5" : Questionable section. A section is entered twice or entered out of sequence by ISRP.

# Terminus Errors

3.22.19.3.2.4 (01-01-2015) Terminus Errors Terminus Errors are caused when a non-numeric character is entered in a numeric field or when the format of a section is incorrect. These errors are identified by two asterisks (**) printed to the left of the section number.

# Correcting Section Validity Errors

3.22.19.3.2.5 (01-01-2015) Correcting Section Validity Errors Compare the section(s) entry with the Error Register fields. Line out each incorrect field and enter the correct data immediately above the lined-out data. Enter Action Code "6" . If no error is found, use Action Code "7" to clear the Error Register. For Terminus Errors, if a return entry is truly larger than the maximum size field that is acceptable for computer processing. Reject the return record with Action Code "3" . Attach Form 4227 with an explanation.

# Math/Consistency Errors

3.22.19.3.3 (01-01-2015) Math/Consistency Errors These errors are caused when the computer computation differs from the taxpayer's computation or the transcribed amount. Math Errors occur when: There is a transcription error. The taxpayer reports more entries than can be transcribed. The taxpayer makes a mistake in a calculation. When a math error occurs, The computed amount in question will underprint with the computers calculation. If the taxpayer has more entries than transcribed fields, the total will be entered in the proper "verified field" . Use the "verified" field to bypass the math check on loop. If the transcription is correct, use Action Code "6" to enter the computers calculation in the "verified" field. If the computer cannot compute the amount correctly (because there are more taxpayer entries than can be transcribed), Verify the taxpayers computation. Enter Action Code "6" to enter the verified total into the "verified" field. Only use the verified fields when there are more entries than transcribed fields. To correct math/consistency errors: Compare the transcribed amount listed above the underprinted figure on the Error Register to the Form 3520 to ensure that the information is transcribed accurately. If the transcription is correct, and the error is within tolerance, bring up the underprinted amount into the verified field. If the transcription is correct, and the error is not within tolerance, use Action Code "6" to enter the manual calculation into the "verified" field. Always leave a working trail to ensure that any correction made on the Error Register is also made to the return itself.

# Error Correction

3.22.19.4 (01-01-2015) Error Correction Error Register fields are identified by a letter designation in the left most position of the field. The designations are: Fields A through Z in Section 01 Fields A through CC in Section 02 Fields A through V in Section 03 Fields A through T in Section 04 Fields A through X in Section 05 Fields A through F in Section 06 Fields A through BB in Section 07 Fields A through Y in Section 08 Fields A through L in Section 11 Fields A through O in Section 12 Fields A through X in Section 13 Fields A through U in Section 14 Fields A through M in Section 15 Fields A through H in Section 16 Fields A through N in Section 17 Fields A through F in Section 18 Fields A through K in Section 19 Fields A through DD in Section 20 Fields A through S in Section 21 The length of each field, as shown in the following paragraphs, is the maximum number of data characters and does not include the fields letter designation. On the Error Register, an asterisk "*" designates an invalid field. Any field may, however, be corrected even if not designated invalid. When making corrections to the Error Register, the correction must also be made to the corresponding area on the return. When an invalid or math error condition is shown, determine whether correction of the transcription errors resolve the situation.

# Correcting Invalid Correction Attempts

3.22.19.4.1 (01-01-2015) Correcting Invalid Correction Attempts An invalid correction attempt error is caused by: an incorrect entry on the Error Register an ISRP error when transcribing data from the Error Register A complete description of invalid attempts may be found in IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions for Campus Error Resolution. When an invalid correction attempt is detected, "AA" is printed to the right of the Batch Number on the Document Identification Line of the Loop Error Register. If the cause of the invalid correction attempt can be determined, correct the Loop Error Register as if no attempt had been made to correct it before. Note: It may be necessary to examine the correction made on the prior Error Register. If the cause of the invalid correction attempt cannot be determined, enter Action Code "7" .

# Unprocessable Returns

3.22.19.5 (01-01-2015) Unprocessable Returns When perfection of a return is not possible, it will be necessary to reject the return. Review the following unprocessable conditions and their respective corrective actions.

# Illegible or Missing Data

3.22.19.5.1 (01-01-2015) Illegible or Missing Data To correct illegible or missing data: Enter Action Code "3" . Charge out the return. Prepare Form 4227 to Rejects. If Then the error condition involves an Illegible or Missing Name and/or Address, and the required data cannot be perfected through research of the document, prepare Form 4227 and attach it to the return. Rejects will input a Notice of Action on the Master File as discussed below by using IDRS Command Code REQ77/FRM77 when: An unprocessable return is rejected and sufficient information is available: enter TC 599 and enter Closing Code 17 to defer the normal delinquency check. The EIN, Name Control, MFT, and Tax Period are present; enter TC 599 and enter Closing Code 17.

# Processing Form 3520 - Error Register

3.22.19.6 (01-01-2021) Processing Form 3520 - Error Register Use the following instructions when correcting Form 3520 on the Error Register. See Exhibit 3.22.19-1. The Form 3520 Error Register contains Sections 01 through 21. The DLN for Form 3520 must have a "File Location Code of 60" . Do not renumber to "66, 78 or 98" if a U.S. Territory address or a foreign address is present on the Form 3520. If any return is wrongly given a DLN beginning with "29, 66, 78 or 98" then that return must be re-numbered to "60 (OSPC)" . The Form 3520 can only be filed on paper (no electronic filings). All money amounts must be entered in dollars only.

# Field 01-A - Name Control, Line 1a

3.22.19.7.1 (01-02-2024) Field 01-A - Name Control, Line 1a Field 01-A is a four-position field that must be present. Valid characters are alpha (a-z), numeric (0-9), ampersand (&), hyphen (-), and blank. Change a slash (/) or decimal point (.) in the Name Control to a hyphen (-). Use the hyphen when performing research. Example: Change "A/BC" to "A-BC" The name control comes from the name on Line 1a. A filer may be: An individual A trust An estate A partnership A corporation A foundation If Field 01-A underprints, verify Field 01-B contains the proper indicator: "0" (zero) if the TIN is an SSN blank if the TIN is an EIN To delete an entry in Field 01-B, Line thru the entry in Field 01-B. Enter "1" in a circle above Field 01-B (fixed field). Note: Even though you corrected Field 01-B, you must enter "1" in Field 01-Z (Entity Underprint Code) to clear the underprint. If the field underprints with a different name control (not "XXXX" ): Verify the Name Control, and TIN (Field 01-C) are entered correctly. If transcribed incorrectly, enter the correct name (or TIN) in the corresponding field(s) using Action Code "6" . Reminder: When correcting the TIN, enter a "1" in Field 01-Z (Entity Underprint Code) to clear the Name Control underprint. Make sure the correct TIN is entered (e.g., an SSN for an individual or an EIN for anything else). If the correct name control is different from the underprint, enter a "1" in Field 01-Z (Entity Underprint Code). If the name control (and EIN) is transcribed correctly, research for a correct TIN using NAMEE and/or NAMEB. If no record, SCRS will reject the return and Rejects will send it to Entity Control. If the Name Control underprints with "XXXX" : Be sure that the name control/name and TIN are transcribed correctly. Research CC NAMEE and NAMEB for a correct TIN on INOLE to determine how the name and name control appear on Master File. If the TIN is in orange ink (meaning that it was assigned by Entity Control), be sure it is transcribed correctly. Enter "1" in Field 01-Z. Note: If the return is processed after the due date, enter the Entity Assignment Date (located next to the TIN in orange ink) in Field 01-H. If in your research you find a good TIN, enter it, and issue IDRS Letter 3875C. Ensure the correct name control is entered in Field 01-A, and Field 01-Z contains a "1" . Exception: Do not send Correspondence Action Sheet (CAS) 3875C, if less than three digits of the EIN are incorrect, or if the EIN is transposed, different or missing. Whether the EIN/SSN is written in orange or not (e.g., it is a taxpayer or Code and Edit (C&E) entry), verify that the Name Control and EIN/SSN are transcribed correctly. If the transcription is incorrect, correct the data with Action Code "6" . Reminder: When correcting the TIN, enter "1" in Field 01-Z (EUC) to clear the Name Control underprint. If the transcription is correct, research by entering Action Code "3" . Research to determine the correct Name Control and/or TIN in the following order: Command Code "NAMEB, NAMEE, NAMEI or NAMES" . Ensure that the TIN is correct. Command Code "ENMOD and INOLE" . Ensure that the TIN is present. If a change has been made to the first or second name line on a pre-addressed label, with no change to the TIN (e.g., No TC 013 appears in the upper left corner of the return): Prepare Form 4227 to reject using Action Code "3" . Rejects will send to Entity Control. If the taxpayer has changed the TIN on a pre-addressed label, Prepare Form 4227 to reject using Action Code "3" . Rejects will send to Entity Control, notating "TAXPAYER CHANGED THE TIN" on the Form 4227. If it is ever necessary to use BMFOL to input a TC 013 for a name change, Form 3520 will not take a joint name (Taxpayer and spouse) as the primary name on BNCHG. It must be one or the other, depending on who filed the return. If both names are on the return, use the first name shown.

# Name Control Underprint

3.22.19.7.1.1 (01-01-2026) Name Control Underprint The Name Control Underprint is a four-position field that is used when the transcribed name control requires correction. Enter a "1" in Field 01-Z (EUC) with Action Code "6" if all of the following conditions apply: The Name Control is underprinted with four "X'" s ("XXXX" ). The TIN is written on the return in orange (TIN assigned by Entity Control). The TIN on the Error Register agrees with the one on Form 3520. See Figure 3.22.19-1 Name Control Underprint.

Sometimes on the Rejects Register, Field 01-B may be invalid because there is a "2" in the field. This is an occasional program problem, because the "2" should not be generated until the return posts (the "2" means the TIN is an EIN). This causes an unpostable condition (UNP 301) also. When this occurs, look at the TIN on the return and change the TIN indicator field: "0" for an SSN and blank for an EIN. If you blank the field, enter a "1" in a circle above it, as Field 01-B is a fixed field (no field breaker). Note: TIN Type indicator "2" is never used on the Error Register or on the ERS screen. It is generated only when the document posts.

# Form 3520-A on the Error Resolution System (ERS)

3.22.19.26 (01-01-2015) Form 3520-A on the Error Resolution System (ERS) The following subsections contain information on processing identified errors on Form 3520-A data through the ERS system. more instructions related to the ERS system can be found in IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions.

# ERS Action Codes

3.22.19.26.1 (04-22-2022) ERS Action Codes The ERS Action Code shows that specific information is missing and the record is to be rejected or suspended from processing. The code will have sufficient detail to show if correspondence is to be sent to the taxpayer or the specific in-house research or action required. For a listing of valid ERS Action Codes, see Exhibit 3.22.19-6 and IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions. Action Code 001 will be computer -- generated when the Block Out of Balance (BOB) Resolution Function has added a missing document by only inputting the TIN and the Name Control for the missing document. Note: The presence of a valid Action Code other than 001 will place the record in the Suspense Inventory (either Workable or Unworkable). Code and Edit will assign Action Codes to numbered returns when they determine that the document is unprocessable in its present form. This code will be edited in the lower left margin of the return. Correspondence Action Sheets (3653C CAS) used for initiating correspondence will be attached by the tax examiner suspending the document. Codes and literals for each Action Code are sufficient for routing these returns within the Campus. Note: Use Action Code 211 domestic or 215 international, (225 domestic or 226 international, if signature only) when corresponding for information on Form 3520-A. See IRM 3.22.19.2.16. Note: If the Action Code has not been assigned by Code and Edit (or if ISRP did not transcribe it), enter the Action Code on Form 3520-A and on the screen using Command Code SSPND. If the Action Code assigned by Code and Edit is invalid, incomplete, or 001, the record will be assigned to the Error Inventory for correction or deletion of the code. Only one Action Code can be assigned to a record at one time. Assign Action Codes in the following priority order: Action Code 320 Action Code 4XX Action Code 6XX Action Code 3XX Action Code 2XX If more than one Action Code of the same priority is required (e.g., 331 and 355), use the code with the shortest suspense period and attach Form 4227 to show the second unprocessable condition. An ERS tax examiner may enter an Action Code on a record, delete or correct an invalid code, or overlay the present Action Code with another to either re-suspend or reject from ERS. To do this enter a valid Action Code with Command Code SSPND, RJECT or NWDLN. SSPND When entered by an ERS tax examiner, this command code will clear the record from the screen and place it in either Workable or Unworkable Suspense. RJECT When entered by a Rejects tax examiner, this command code will clear the record from ERS. Service Center Control File (SCCF) will be automatically updated for the rejected record. NWDLN When entered by a Rejects tax examiner, this command code will reject the record from ERS and establish the new DLN under the record it is to be input. Management Suspense Management may direct that certain documents be held for further processing instructions. Some reasons for such a suspense are: A Campus computer program bug exists for a particular type of record. Master File programs are not yet available or are incorrect for a specific type of document. These documents will remain in the Unworkable Suspense Inventory until requested to be placed in the Workable Suspense Inventory (via the ERS Control File, or until the Workable Suspense period expires, whichever comes first).

# Command Codes used in the ERS system

3.22.19.26.2 (01-01-2015) Command Codes used in the ERS system The following command codes are used in the ERS system. Command Code Description ACTVT To transfer an unworkable suspense record to the Workable Inventory. GTREC To access the first error in a block in the Error Inventory or a specific record in the Workable Suspense Inventory. CRECT To display with all error displays. GTSEC To obtain the display of any section of an error record in process. DLSEC To delete a section of a record. SSPND To assign an Action Code when placing a record in suspense. RJECT To reject a record from ERS. GTRECW To retrieve and correct an error record that has been previously worked. Can be used only on the day that the record block was worked. NAMEB/NAMEI To research for a missing TIN. Name and address are input to research the Key Index File (KIF). NAMEE/NAMES To research for a missing TIN. A name must be input to research the Names Search Facility (NSF). ENMOD To research for name control and transaction code information. ERUTL To display several different areas in the ERS record for research purposes. ERINV To research a DLN or TIN on ERS. INOLE To research the entity module.

# Workable Suspense Inventory Report

3.22.19.26.3 (11-09-2017) Workable Suspense Inventory Report Each workday, the Workable Suspense Inventory Report (ERS-13-42) will list records by program in DLN order by status code. Separate pages for each program, with totals, will be available. The report will show the number of working days that the records have been in the Workable Suspense Inventory, in five-day intervals (e.g., 10, 5, and 0 days). This will allow ERS/Rejects to give priority to the older work.

# Clear Codes

3.22.19.26.4 (01-01-2015) Clear Codes The following instructions are to be used for entering Clear Codes when perfecting Form 3520-A.

# Clear Code "CL"

3.22.19.26.4.1 (01-01-2015) Clear Code "CL" A "CL" is used as a Clear Code for the Error Codes (consistency errors) where the error condition is such that the resolution does not require a change or correction to the record as displayed. The Screen Display will include a Clear Code field, labeled "CL" to show the possible use of a Clear Code. The Clear Code Field will always be located to the right of CRECT on the screen display. Error Codes indicating the possible use of a Clear Code are cleared by either correcting the condition or entering a "C" to show no correction is needed. If corrections are required: Enter and transmit prior to entry of the Clear Code "C" . Assure that all corrective procedures have been input as shown under each individual Error Code before entering a "C" in the Clear Code Field. Clear Code "C" is also used for clearing the action code from the screen after corrections for the action code have been completed, or, as with action codes 410 and 700, the action code must be cleared initially so other errors in the record can be resolved. The presence of the "C" with a Priority I Error shows that you have made the corrections to the action code and now wish to have any other errors on the record displayed. Command Code SSPND will cause all "C" Clear Codes for Error Codes to be erased. The program will erase all "C" Clear Codes for Error Codes and action codes for the new days Error Inventory and Workable Suspense Inventory. Unfinished records from the previous day will contain none of the "C" Clear Codes assigned to a record that is not completely worked. The "C" Clear Code cannot accompany any corrections to the record. If a correction must be entered and the record has already been transmitted enter Command Code GTRECW to retrieve the record and make all corrections.

# Errors Codes – General

3.22.19.26.4.2 (01-01-2015) Errors Codes – General Error Codes (including those which may require a "C" Clear Code) are numbered consecutively for correction. There may be instances when an ERS tax examiner will create an Error Code with a higher priority than the Error Code that has already cleared with a Taxpayer Notice Code (TPNC) or "C" Clear Code. If this occurs, the program will delete all "C" Clear Codes and TPNC's for Error Codes with a lower priority than the one created. Beginning with the higher priority Error Code created, the program will continue to display Error Codes for the record. Displays using the corrected data are apt to be different from those previously displayed. There may be instances when an ERS tax examiner will make a correction that will erase an Error Code which was previously cleared with a "C" and now the error condition no longer exists. If this occurs, the program will delete the "C" Clear Codes and TPNC's for all subsequent errors in the record. If there are errors remaining on the record after deleting the "C" and TPNC's, the program will continue to display Error Codes for the record whether they were previously displayed.

# Clear Code 000

3.22.19.26.4.3 (01-01-2015) Clear Code 000 Clear Code 000 is used when deleting an action code. Only use Clear Code 000 for invalid or erroneous Action Codes when you have determined that there is no reason to suspend the record. Note: The "000" cannot be used in suspense correction.

# Types of Errors – General

3.22.19.26.5 (01-01-2015) Types of Errors – General The Error Resolution System will identify errors according to type and priority. The record heading will show the type of error: Action Code Error (Priority I) Section Error (Priority II) - Includes Terminus and ISRP errors Validity Error (Priority III) Math/Consistency Error (Error Codes) (Priority IV) There may be records where the tax examiner finds that programming has not furnished a section that is needed to solve an error. If this occurs: Enter Command Code GTSEC. Enter the proper information. There may be a record that displays as an error on the ERS screen, but when the tax examiner attempts to correct it, "No Error in Record - Contact Supervisor" will display in response. To resolve this condition, you must: Enter Command Code GTSEC 01. Bring down the cursor. "XMIT (Transmit)" . Note: This action will clear the error.

# Priority I Errors – Action Code/Unpostable Code Errors

3.22.19.26.5.1 (01-01-2015) Priority I Errors – Action Code/Unpostable Code Errors Description: All records with an invalid Action Code assigned by Document Perfection will be placed in the Error Inventory and will be displayed as a Priority I Error. All records with a valid Action Code will be assigned to a Suspense Inventory and will be displayed as a Priority I Error. Display - The Action Code for the record with the literal description of the action or unpostable condition will be shown. Error Correction - Process Priority I errors as follows: If Then Suspense action is required. Enter CC SSPND with the correct Action Code. Transmit. Suspense action is not required. Enter 000 in the Clear Code (CL) field. Transmit. Action Code 001 is a Priority I error. This condition occurs whenever the BOB Resolution function has added a document to a block by entering only the Name Control and TIN. The remainder of the record must be added by ERS. Enter Command Code GTSEC for each record section that should contain data. Add the required data. When all of the sections have been entered, enter "C" in the Clear Code Field. See IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instruction, for procedures for correcting Priority I Action Code errors in Suspense and Unpostable Code Correction.

# Priority II Errors – Section Errors

3.22.19.26.5.2 (01-01-2015) Priority II Errors – Section Errors Most edit, missing section, and terminus errors should be eliminated by the ISRP System. However, edit errors and/or terminus errors may be present if normal ISRP validity checks have been bypassed. Edit Error - A section with an error detected by ISRP. Terminus Error - A section with variable length fields containing an erroneous size field or, an invalid character is present. Display - All fields except the ERS Action Code and the Remittance (Payment Received) fields will be displayed in columnar format with or without data. The error type will also be shown for ISRP Problem Code errors. Only one section (error) will be displayed at a time. Content - Any individual section excluding computer-generated fields and the Action Code. The Action Code is an uncorrectable field, except as defined for SSPND and RJECT. Correction Procedures: ISRP Errors - All fields in the section must be examined when an ISRP error is present. If Section 01 of a return is coded, examine the section for an error to ensure that the return is for the taxpayer whose name is in Section 01. Correct the section. Once the section is correct (or if no corrections are necessary), transmit. Terminus Errors - All fields of the section must be examined when a terminus error is present. Make the necessary corrections to the record. Once the section is correct (or if no corrections are necessary), transmit. Questionable Section - Verify and enter all of the data for the displayed section. When all of the data is correct, transmit.

# Priority III Errors – Field Errors

3.22.19.26.5.3 (01-01-2015) Priority III Errors – Field Errors Definition - Any field failing to meet the requirements for that field (and that field only) will be shown as a Priority III error. Consistency and or relationships with other fields will not be a factor. Individual field validity errors to be bypassed after initial consideration will be shown as Priority IV Errors. Some reasons for field errors include the following: Non-numeric character in a numeric field. Non-alphabetic character in an alpha field. Blank space in a number field. Blank in the first position of an alpha field. Display - Every field displayed is in error. All fields with a Priority III error will be displayed in columnar format in the order encountered in the record. An overflow field is identified by all question marks for an amount field or a single pound sign in the last position of a Name Line. Note: The Action Code will never be displayed as a Priority III Error. Correction Procedures: Correct every error field displayed using the specific instructions within each section for the field in error. Check the information on the source document to determine if each displayed field has been correctly coded and transcribed. Enter the correct data for each field displayed. If no data is to be in a displayed field, blank the field. Transmit.

# Part IV Errors – Math/Consistency Errors

3.22.19.26.5.4 (01-01-2015) Part IV Errors – Math/Consistency Errors Definition - Any valid field used in any computation in which the result is inconsistent with (or contradictory to) any other valid field will have Error Code 001-999 assigned and will be shown as a Priority IV Error. Display - Priority IV errors will be displayed with the Error Code for the specific error. The screen display will show the Error Code assigned and the fields needed to make the necessary correction. Compare the displayed fields with the return. If the field is coded or transcribed incorrectly, overlay the screen display with the correct data. For those amounts which are entered from ERS Input Only the first corrections will be to enter the taxpayers amount. For all math Error Codes, a field labeled "NC" followed by "XX" will generate. The "NC" field is located on Line 4 of the screen display (to the right of CRECT). Multiple TPNC's may be entered when multiple XXs are shown. Note: Form 3520-A has no math error or TPNC codes. There are no math verification requirements in this program. A field labeled "CL" will be displayed for the entry of a Clear Code on records where the possibility exists that a change or correction may not be needed. The "CL" field is located on Line 4 of the screen display (to the right of CRECT). All coding and transcription errors displayed must be corrected and IRM procedures for each field shown on the screen display must be applied before entering a "C" in the Clear Code Field. All errors must be resolved by either eliminating/suspending the error or entering the Clear Code. Correction Procedures: Determine the type of error present: If Then Clearable consistency errors. Correct coding and transcription errors. If the data in the field is correct, enter a "C" in the Clear Code field. Transmit. Non-clearable consistency errors. Correct coding and transcription errors. Transmit Reminder: If a correction causes an Error Code with a higher priority than the previous Error Code display, all Clear Codes and Taxpayer Notice Codes already entered for lower priority Error Codes will be deleted. All lower priority Error Codes still present in the record will be re-displayed for resolution even if previously cleared with a TPNC or Clear Code. This is known as the "ripple" effect. If Then A correction causes a clear Error Code to no longer be in the error. The Clear Code for that Error Code will be deleted. All Clear Codes assigned to all lower priority (higher numeric) Error Codes will also be deleted. Any remaining Error Codes previously cleared (but now no longer cleared) will be re-displayed.

# General Information

3.22.19.27.1 (01-01-2021) General Information The Form 3520-A ERS system contains data fields in Sections 01 through 10. The Document Locator Number (DLN) for must have a File Location Code (FLC) of "60" (OSPC). Do not renumber to "29 or 78" (OSPC) if a U.S. State or U.S. Territory address is present on Form 3520-A. Re-number a Form 3520-A document that has a "29, 78 (OSPC)" DLN FLC to a "60" FLC DLN return. Form 3520-A can only be filed on paper (no electronic filings) and will be posted as: All money amounts must be entered in U.S. dollars only.

# Processing Form 3520-A: Common Field Corrections

3.22.19.27.2 (01-01-2015) Processing Form 3520-A: Common Field Corrections Use the following instructions when correcting the described fields in the sections of Form 3520-A.

# Taxpayer Identification Numbers

3.22.19.27.2.1 (01-01-2021) Taxpayer Identification Numbers These are 9 - position fields which may or may not contain entries. The valid characters are numeric (0-9). However, the valid characters for a PTIN also includes a "P" . "P" is only valid in first position of PTIN number. "P" is only valid in the PTIN field. Entries in these fields may be: EIN (entered in NN-NNNNNNN format), or SSN (entered in NNN-NN-NNNN format), or ITIN (entered in 9NN-NN-NNNN format), or PTIN (entered in PNNNNNNNN). Both Form 3520 and Form 3520-A have a number of fields for a TIN (SSN, ITIN, PTIN or EIN). To identify which kind of TIN is present, each TIN field (except EIN-only) is accompanied by its own TIN Type indicator field. When the correct TIN is an SSN or ITIN, the TIN Type indicator code of "0" (zero) must be entered in the associated TIN Type field. Note: If it is ever necessary to change the TIN field from an SSN to an EIN, you must delete the TIN Type indicator of "0" (zero), if present in the associated TIN Type field. Otherwise, the computer program will read the new EIN as an SSN. If the TIN is an EIN, then the TIN Type indicator field must be "blank" . Form 3520-A: Field 01EIN on Line b must have an EIN for the foreign trust. If the TIN on this line of the return is an SSN or missing, research NAMEB and NAMEE for an EIN. If no record, SSPND 320 to Entity Control for the assignment of an EIN. If more than one TIN is present on the return on one given line, except for Field 01EIN: Use the first TIN provided. Note: If both an SSN and EIN are provided, enter the EIN into the field. If necessary, perfect the TIN Type indicator field. Circle-out the unused TIN(s). If the filer does not provide a TIN in a section of the return which requires a TIN entry: Research the return and its attachments. Research the name using local procedures. If unable to locate after research, SSPND 320, attach Form 4227 and notate "NO RECORD" in the remarks block, and check the Entity Control box. Reminder: If the TIN is missing for Field 01EIN, then research NAMEE or NAMEB for an EIN. If no TIN is found, SSPND 320, attach Form 4227 and notate "NO RECORD" in the remarks block and check the Entity Control box. Be sure to perfect the TIN Type indicator field whenever entering or changing the TIN field. See IRM 3.22.19.39.4 for more information.

# State

3.22.19.27.2.2 (01-01-2021) State This is a two - position field for which entries must be present for all U.S. addresses. Valid characters are alpha (a-z), or period, for Form 3520-A. Refer to Document 7475 for the two-letter abbreviation of the U.S. State or U.S. Territory or Freely Associated State named. If the address is a foreign address (other than a U.S. Territory or Freely Associated State), enter a period in the first position of the State Code field. The second position is blank. Note: When the State Code field is a "period" , look at the corresponding foreign country code field. The country code field must not be blank. See Document 7475, Section 5 to determine the correct foreign country code.

# "Yes - No" Checkboxes

3.22.19.27.2.3 (01-01-2015) "Yes - No" Checkboxes These are one - position fields. Based on the filers response, ISRP will transcribe as follows: "Yes" box checked - "1" . "No" box checked - "2" . Both boxes ("Yes" and "No" ) checked - "3" . Exception: Form 3520-A Line 2 (Field 03CBX) only: If neither box is checked, but an entry appears in Line 3a, then enter a "1" . Or, if neither box is checked, and no entry appears in Line 3a, then enter a "2" .

# Amounts

3.22.19.27.2.4 (01-01-2015) Amounts These are 12 - position fields for which entries may or may not be present. Valid characters are numeric (0-9) and blank. Entries may be positive or negative. Entries are to be transcribed in dollars only; if the filer's entry is reported in dollars and cents, Round the filers entry to the nearest whole dollar. Enter the rounded figure.

# Section 01: Form 3520-A, Page 1

# Field 01NC - Name Control/Check Digit

3.22.19.28.1 (01-01-2021) Field 01NC - Name Control/Check Digit Field 01NC is located in the Entity Section of Form 3520-A. Form 3520-A is filed by the trustee of a foreign trust. The trustee of the Trust may be: An individual A partnership A corporation Field 01NC has four positions and the valid characters are alpha (a-z), numeric (0-9), hyphen (-), ampersand (&), and blank. A Check Digit is present only on a pre-addressed return when the TIN has been validated. If a check digit is present, the computer makes a more mathematical test of the EIN. A check digit must have blanks in the first two positions and a letter other than "E" , "G" or "M" in the last two positions. Field 01NC is invalid if any of the following conditions are present: The first position is blank. The second, third or fourth position is not an alpha, numeric, hyphen, ampersand or blank. There are any intervening blanks between significant characters. Correction Procedures: Correct coding and transcription errors. If the correct Check Digit cannot be determined, enter the name control. If present in the name control, change a slash (/) or period (.) to a hyphen (-). Use the hyphen in research. If the TIN is assigned by Entity Control (e.g., purple ink), be sure it is entered correctly, and then clear the record. If the name control is illegible, use CC ENMOD or INOLE with the TIN on Line b. The name control of the trust is the first four characters of the surname. See Figure 3.22.19-13. If the name control cannot be determined, research following instructions in Document 7071-A, BMF Name Control Job Aid. If it is necessary to change an EIN and there are check digits present in Field 01NC, enter the name control in Field 01NC.

# Field 01EIN - Employer Identification Number (EIN)

3.22.19.28.2 (11-09-2017) Field 01EIN - Employer Identification Number (EIN) This is a 9 - position field for which an entry may be present. Only numeric characters 0-9 are valid. Invalid Conditions in Field 01EIN are, if: The EIN is not numeric. The EIN is less than nine characters. The first two digits of the EIN are: 00, 07, 08, 09, 17, 18, 19, 28, 29, 49, 78, 79, 89. The EIN is all zeros or nines. Correction Procedures: If Then the EIN is incorrectly transcribed Enter correct EIN in Field 01EIN. Send Letter 3875C, if needed. the EIN cannot be determined Research IDRS for the correct EIN using Command Code NAMEB or NAMEE. If located, enter the correct EIN. If you change the EIN and there are check digits in Field 01NC, enter the Name Control into Field 01NC. Caution: Always ensure that the Name Control matches the Master File record when you change the EIN. Suspense Correction: Determine if Entity Control has found the correct EIN. If a valid TIN is found, circle out the invalid TIN on the return and write the new TIN above it. Follow local procedures for issuing Letter 3875C. Do not send IDRS Letter 3875C when: Three or less digits of the TIN are transposed, different, or missing. INOLES shows the account has been merged to or merged from a different TIN. If the TIN does not match the entity on the return, SSPND 320 to Entity Control with Form 4227. If Then Entity Control located the correct EIN enter in Field 01EIN Entity Control assigned an EIN enter in Field 01EIN.

# Field 01TXP - Tax Period

3.22.19.28.3 (01-01-2020) Field 01TXP - Tax Period This is a 6 - position field for which an entry must be present. Only numeric characters in "YYYYMM" format are valid (e.g., Dec. 31, 2023 is printed 202312). The MM position represents the valid month designation (01-12). Determine the correct tax period from the tax year shown at the top of page 1 of Form 3520-A. Form 3520-A may be filed for either calendar or fiscal years. Field 01TXP is invalid if any of the following conditions are present: The tax period is not all numeric. The tax period is earlier than 200012. The last two digits (month) are not 01-12. The tax year (first four digits) is after the current year. The tax year is equal to the current year, but the month is after the current processing month. Correction Procedures: If the Tax Period underprints, verify the Tax Period in Field 01TXP against the Tax Year on the return. If the tax period is later than the current date, and there is no indication of final return, Prepare Form 4227. Notate in remarks "EARLY FILER" on Form 4227. Enter "SSPND 480" . If the tax period is later than the current date on a final return (CCC "F" ), change the month in the tax period (Field 01TXP) to the month immediately prior to the month in the received date. If the tax period is prior to 200012, the return DLN must be voided: Prepare Form 4227. Notate in remarks "Prior to Tax Period 200012" . Suspend the record by entering SSPND 640. Rejects will void the document by entering RJECT 640 and forward to Document Retention/Files.

# Field 01RCD - Received Date

3.22.19.28.4 (01-01-2019) Field 01RCD - Received Date This is an 8 - position field for which an entry must be present. Only numeric characters (in "YYYYMMDD" format) are valid. The Received Date must be later than the last day of the tax period and is transcribed from Form 3520-A. If the Received Date is before the end of the current processing tax period (an early filed return), enter the Received Date as the day after the end of the current processing tax period. Example: If the received date is "12-14-2024" , enter "20250101" for a tax period 202412 return. Field 01RCD is a numeric field which is either the date stamped by Receipt and Control or edited by Code and Edit. The legal due date is the 15th day of the third month after the end of the trusts tax year. If the 15th is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the due date is the first workday thereafter. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡.

The Received Date is later than the current processing date. The Received Date is not all numeric. Correction Procedures: If Then The Received Date cannot be determined. Determine the entry to Field 01RCD using the following priority order: The earliest legible Postmark Date (U.S. Postal Service or Private Delivery Service) on the envelope. Note: If an envelope is not attached, use the postmark date stamped on the face of the return. Service Center Automated Mail Processing System (SCAMPS) digital date. The Revenue Officers signature date. The Return Signature Date (if within the current year). The Julian Date in the DLN minus 10 days (on numbered returns). Multiple Received Dates are present Use the earliest IRS stamped received date. Circle out all other dates. The return is addressed to the IRS and delivered to a State agency Use the postmark date as the Received Date The return is addressed to a State agency Use the IRS date stamp as the Received Date Note: Even though the Form 3520-A is supposed to be sent to Ogden, if the date stamped on the return is from an IRS office in another state or foreign country (e.g., a U.S. citizen living in England may send the return to the IRS Office in London), always accept the earliest stamped IRS received date, regardless of where the return was sent. Determining Postmark Dates: Only legible official postmark date, SCAMPS date or the date of submission to a designated private delivery service are accepted as proof of filing timely. Accept the postmark date as the Received Date if it is on or before the due date. The official marking of arrows easily identifies metered Postmarks. These types of markings are not found on a privately metered postmark. For further information and procedures on Postmarks, see IRM 3.10.73, Batching and Numbering.

# ♦Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review♦

Exhibit 3.22.19-8 ♦Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review♦ Potential Frivolous Arguments Potential Frivolous Arguments Description Alleged Churches/First Amendment Income from non-religious sources and may claim a vow of poverty. Altered Form Altering any or all line items with the intent of facilitating non-compliance with the tax laws. Altered Jurat/Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) 1-207 or UCC 1-308 Return has income and deductions but the jurat was altered or stricken. May include reference to UCC 1-207 / UCC 1-308 or a statement that the return was not signed under penalties of perjury. Amended Returns/Form 843 Claim Amended return or a Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, filed to obtain a total refund of all taxes paid in prior years, based on tax avoidance arguments. C-Filings This frivolous position includes the following four categories: Files a return claiming several types of deductions, credits, or overpayments/refunds that have no relation to reality and because of their outrageous character, qualify as frivolous returns. Files a return containing the filer's identifying information but does not request a refund, often lacking sufficient information to determine a tax liability. Files a return with several types of rambling dialogue or confusing arguments that no one could reasonably view as a good faith attempt to comply with the law. Files a return that attempts to send some type of message or protest to the IRS but does not include sufficient identifying information for the IRS to either determine the identity of the taxpayer or correspondent or return address. Challenges to Authority/Due Process Questions various administrative authorities such as delegation orders, summons authority, privacy act, etc. Argues that they must be afforded a hearing or a trial before taxes can be assessed or before property can be seized. Challenges to Authority/Title 26 or "law" in Other Documents Argues that Title 26 of the United States Code is not law because it was never enacted as named. Collection Issues Files frivolous documents contending that several collections issues are invalid (e.g., Offers in Compromise, Collection Due Process Requests, Installment Agreements, Appeals Requests, etc.) because they are not filed and signed by someone with delegated authority. They may have no certificate of assessment attached, do not comply in form or content with a State or Local law, are not in a certain format or lack a valid OMB (Office of Management and Budget) number or other frivolous positions. Disclaimer Submits a disclaimer stating, "disclaims the liability for the tax due" , making the liability on the return zero. Fifth Amendment Assertion of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination as a basis for not providing any financial information. Foreign Income Argues that United States citizens and residents are not subject to tax on their wages or other income derived from sources within the United States, as only foreign-based income or income received by nonresident aliens and foreign S Corporations from sources within the United States is taxable. Form 1099-OID (Original Issue Discount) An individual or business files a return reporting false amounts of income (generally "Other" or "Miscellaneous" income) and claims a false amount of income tax withholding approximately equal to the amount of falsely reported income. Although the returns report income, they do not calculate any tax due. Some of the returns have Form 1099-OID (Original Issue Discount) attached, and some have Form 1096. Other false financial instruments may be filed in the place of or in addition to the Form 1099-OID such as Form 2439, promissory notes, bonds, sight drafts, etc. IRC 861 Business Employment Tax (BMF 861) Argument targets employers and advises them that wages are exempt from withholding. These taxpayers rely on Sections 861 through 865 of the Code and the regulations (in particular, Treasury Regulation § 1.861-8), promoters of this scheme advise employers to stop withholding and paying payroll taxes on their employees wages. In addition, some employers file amended payroll tax returns and request refunds of previously paid payroll taxes. IRS is a Private Organization/Collects Tribute, Not Taxes Argues that the IRS is an entity named the Internal Revenue and Tax Service, Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 1933, it is a collection agency for the Federal Reserve Bank or is part of the United Nations and is clandestinely leading the tax-paying public into a "new world order." Not a Person Argues that a taxpayer is not a "person" within the meaning of IRC 7701(a)(14). Obscene, Vulgar, Harassing Submits documents or other materials indicating that non-filing is due to dissatisfaction with tax policies or taxation in general. Often, this argument is expressed with obscene, vulgar, or crude language and characters in an extremely demeaning manner. Protest Against Government Action/Inaction Argues that refusal to file or pay is justified because they disagree with government policies or spending plans. Sixteenth Amendment Argues the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified and therefore the federal government does not have the legal authority to collect an income tax without apportionment. Straw Man Argues the government has created an entity separate and distinct from the taxpayer - a "straw man" and any tax obligations are exclusively those of the "straw man" . Taxes are Voluntary/Law Does Not Require Submits a return, amended return or correspondence that argues income taxes are voluntary. U.S. vs. Long Submits a return with zero money amounts. To explain the zeros inserted on the form, the individual references "U.S. vs. Long" . Unsigned Returns The individual completes a return but does not sign. A statement indicating disagreement with the tax system is attached or added to the return. Valuation Income is not taxable because of the declining fair market value of the dollar, because the dollar is not backed by gold/silver, because the value of services is offset by the value of the labor (barter income), etc. Zero Returns (ZERO) Submits a return with zero money amounts on all or most of the line items on the form (e.g., IRC 861, Form 2439, OID and other BMF filings that claim no income and request refunds). See Rev. Rul. 2004-34. A statement is attached claiming there is no section of the Internal Revenue Code that established an income tax liability. The statement may also contain arguments about the definition of income. There are several variations on this type of filing such as those bearing the words "nunc pro tunc" and "not liable" . Note: Returns having only zeros, no entries, are blank or show "None" , "Not Liable" , etc., with no evidence of a frivolous argument are not to be considered as frivolous returns Other All others including those in Notice 2010-33 or any subsequent superseding notice. See also The-Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments Introduction on IRS.gov. This category includes non-filer accounts resulting from initial compliance check such as cross-reference TINs. Note: Frivolous arguments citing "Collection Due Process" (CDP) should be reviewed by Collections for possible referral to Appeals. Refer to IRM 5.19.8, Collection Appeal Rights, for more information.
