# IRM Deviation Procedures

3.30.123.1.8 (01-01-2026) IRM Deviation Procedures Service Center Directors, Headquarter Branch Chiefs, and Headquarter Analysts do not have the authority to approve deviations from IRM procedures. Any request for an exception or deviation to an IRM procedure must be elevated through appropriate channels for executive approval. Ensuring other functional areas are not adversely affected by the change and it does not result in disparate treatment of taxpayers. Requests for an IRM deviation must be submitted in writing following instructions from IRM 1.11.2.2.3 , Internal Management Documents Systems, Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) Process,, and elevated through the appropriate channels for executive approval.

# General Guidelines

3.30.123.2 (01-01-2026) General Guidelines Where time frames reference a certain number of days, those days are always to be considered workdays unless otherwise specified as calendar days. "Workdays" or "business days" are defined as non-holiday Monday through Friday days, unless otherwise specified. Program Completion Date (PCD) is driven by the interest free period on refundable tax returns. Interest will be generated to the taxpayer on any refundable amount if the refund is not issued within 45 calendar days of the statutory due date or the filed / processable date (whichever is later) of a refund tax return. Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, series refund tax returns received and processed by Submission Processing Centers should be processed within 40 calendar days to meet the customer service goals set forth in the Annual Business Plan. Exception: An interest-free period of 180 days applies to an overpayment resulting from tax deducted and withheld under Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, see IRC 6611(e)(4).

# Program Completion Date (PCD) Definitions

3.30.123.2.1 (01-01-2026) Program Completion Date (PCD) Definitions PCD is set for processable tax returns received by specific dates, including timely, prior period, and delinquent tax returns. Determine processable receipts by using the following formula for each PCD: Function 110 (Receipts) Minus Function 920 (Rejects) closing inventory Minus Function 940 (Block Deletions) cumulative receipts Minus Function 960 (Program Deletions) cumulative production Note: The following provides the data sources to be used in computing processable receipts and PCD accomplishment. Function 110 cumulative volume for each counting period receipts is pulled from the Function Volume Report within the Production Information and Monitoring System (PIMS) Function 940 cumulative receipts and Function 960 cumulative production volumes come from the Daily Production Report, PCC-22-40. Function 920 closing inventory and Function 950 cumulative volumes come from the Balance Forward Listing, PCD-03-44. Note: If using Function 180 (Batching Activities) cumulative production instead of Function 110, add Function 180 closing inventory (use zero if negative) minus Functions 920, 940, 960, and Function 970 (Reinputs) cumulative production. Function 970 volume comes from the Daily Production Report, PCC-22-40. Returns that were received by the specified date that are in Error Resolution, Rejects, and Block Out of Balance (BOB) are included in the PCD computations. Program Completion will be considered accomplished when: For IMF tax returns, the cumulative Good Tape production (Function 950) is equal to or greater than a given percentage of the number of processable tax returns received through the end of the counting period, so long as that Good Tape production is reached on or before the established PCD. See IRM 3.30.123.6.1.4, PCD Definition for Domestic (OTFP) IMF Tax Returns, and IRM 3.30.123.6.2.3, PCD Definition for Domestic (FP) IMF Tax Returns for specific definition of PCD. Note: PCD accomplishment is measured corporately, however, each processing center is responsible for ensuring that they meet the PCD definition for their site, to ensure that the corporate PCD is met. For all other returns/forms, the cumulative Good Tape production (Function 950) is equal to or greater than the total number (i.e., 100 percent) of processable tax returns received through the end of the counting period, unless a different direction is given under specific form type, so long as that Good Tape production is reached on or before the established PCD. For any monthly and fiscal year tax returns that do not have established PCDs, the processing time frames necessary to avoid paying overpayment interest on refund tax returns depend on the day of the week that the statutory due date falls and whether the tax return is Business Master File (BMF) or Individual Master File (IMF). Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday - BMF - three weeks after the first Wednesday following the statutory due date. Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday - BMF - two weeks after the first Wednesday following the statutory due date. Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday - IMF - four weeks after the first Wednesday following the statutory due date. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday - IMF - five weeks after the first Wednesday following the statutory due date. For any monthly and fiscal year tax returns that do not have established PCDs, the processing time frames for non-refund tax returns will be one week later for IMF Other Than Full-Paid (OTFP) and two weeks later for BMF, unless otherwise specified. These requirements are monitored by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:PM:M.

# Holiday or Weekend Impact

3.30.123.2.2 (01-01-2026) Holiday or Weekend Impact For any program completion or Enterprise Computing Center at Martinsburg (ECC-MTB) date or periodically scheduled input, output, shipping or completion date which falls on a holiday on which the campus does not work, the completion date must be considered as the last workday prior to the holiday. The date established by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as the prescribed due date by which a tax return must be filed or a payment made, is referred to as the normal or original due date, and never changes. For purposes of determining the ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, the due date is not extended. When the due date of a tax return falls on Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the tax return is considered timely if postmarked by the next succeeding day after that date that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. Refer to IRC 7503 for more information. Patriot's Day is a legal state holiday in Maine and Massachusetts, celebrated on the third Monday in April. If the due date of any tax return falls on Patriot's Day, then the tax returns filed by taxpayers from one of those states will be considered timely filed if postmarked by the first day after that date that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ This is not to be confused with September 11, Patriot Day, which is not a legal holiday. Emancipation Day, April 16 is not a federal holiday, but under IRC 7503, legal holidays observed in the District of Columbia provide taxpayers nationwide additional time to file tax returns. If April 16 falls on a Saturday, the holiday will be celebrated on Friday, April 15, and tax returns will be considered timely filed if postmarked by Monday, April 18. If April 16 falls on Sunday, the holiday will be celebrated on Monday, April 17, and tax returns will be considered timely filed if postmarked by Tuesday, April 18. If April 16 falls on Monday, the holiday will be celebrated on Monday and tax returns will be considered timely filed if postmarked by Tuesday, April 17. This does not change the statutory due date at Master File, but tax form instructions and Pub 509, Tax Calendars will be revised to inform the public that they have extra time to file on the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, as outlined in IRC 7503. Any time that the statutory due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the postmark date on the envelope should be used to determine timely filing for all returns received after the statutory due date. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Receipt and Control (R&C) will always stamp the Received Date as the actual date received in the campus. They will attach the envelope, or stamp "Postmark Date MM-DD-YYYY" (when there are multiple documents in one envelope) on all forms and documents as specified in IRM 3.10.72, Receiving, Extracting, and Sorting. It is the responsibility of the Tax Examiner to determine if a document was timely filed and adjust the Received Date stamped on the document accordingly. If additional information is needed, refer to IRC 7503, IRM 3.10.72, Receiving, Extracting, and Sorting, IRM 3.8.44, Campus Deposit Activity, and IRM 20.2.5, Interest on Underpayments.

# Information Technology (IT) Customer Service Agreements

3.30.123.2.3 (01-01-2026) Information Technology (IT) Customer Service Agreements Computer Processing Customer Service Agreements (CSA), or Service Level Agreements (SLA) are to be contracted between the Chief Information Systems Division or the responsible Operations Branch Chief and the responsible user designee (functional office of the campus, Area Office (AO), Automated Collection System (ACS) Call Site, National Headquarters, Enterprise Computing Center at Martinsburg, Enterprise Computing Center at Memphis). The agreements will identify campus or ACS processing and specify when the specific processes are to be completed timely and correctly. Planning procedures should be made to set time periods for reviewing and changing report output distribution for yearly program changes. A Unified Work Request (UWR) will be written by the campus at least one year in advance to request applicable changes. The CSA or SLA will include the user's responsibility to notify the Information Systems Division when a significant change in processing conditions occur such as an increase or decrease in volumes. These requirements can be found by referring to IRM 2.7, Information Technology (IT) Operations, owned by OS:CTO:EO:CR:CP.

# Acceptable Inventory and Aged Criteria for Submission Processing Databases

3.30.123.2.4 (01-01-2026) Acceptable Inventory and Aged Criteria for Submission Processing Databases To ensure PCDs can be accomplished, taxpayers are being treated fairly, systems are running efficiently, inventories are not becoming unmanageable, and aged inventories are deemed acceptable, inventories and aged criteria are set for many systems and databases within Submission Processing. Each IRS Submission Processing Center Field Director must monitor and assess the ability of their staff to achieve and maintain inventory at levels sufficient to meet PCDs as well as to meet established inventory and aged criteria. The Submission Processing databases with established inventory and aged criteria are: Error Resolution System (ERS) Rejects (ERS Suspense) Rejects (SCRS Paper Registers) Unpostables Block Out of Balance (BOB) Entity Service Center Control File (SCCF) Dishonored Check File (DCF) Excess Collection File (XSF) Unidentified Remittance (URF) The requirements for reporting these inventories for the Submission Processing Miscellaneous Inventory Report can be found by referring to IRM 3.30.124, Campus Monitoring Reports, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:PM:M.

# Error Resolution System (ERS)

3.30.123.2.4.1 (01-01-2026) Error Resolution System (ERS) ERS is an on-line computer system used to correct errors that have failed validity, consistency or math computations. All work received in the ERS function comes from Integrated Systems Remittance Processing (ISRP), Service Center Recognition Imaging Processing (SCRIPS), Modernized e-File (MeF) or Accounting. ERS cases should be worked on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis. The FIFO requirement is applicable to each master file and submission type (Paper or Electronic) separately (e.g., Individual Master File (IMF) returns submitted electronically will be worked in FIFO order). Corrective action for items in inventory should generally be completed within five (5) workdays (Day 4 inventory on ERS 13-41 Report). Although the ERS database can hold several days of inventory, the campuses should strive to keep each Master File inventories older than Day 2 at less than one percent of the specific Master File total inventory. The ERS 13-41 Report shows the inventory that is available to work in a given day by Program Number. For specific instructions regarding ERS System Capacity, refer to IRM 3.12.37, IMF General Instructions and IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions. ERS instructions can be found by referring to IRM 3.12, Error Resolution and IRM 3.22, International Error Resolution, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:IMF. IRM 3.12.3, Individual Income Tax Returns, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:IMF. The BMF ERS IRMs are owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:BMF (BMF:N for International).

# Rejects ERS Suspense

3.30.123.2.4.2 (01-01-2026) Rejects ERS Suspense There are specific conditions which cannot be resolved by the error correction function and are forwarded to the Rejects/ERS suspense function within the Input Correction Operation. The Reject Inventory consists of tax returns and documents that are considered unprocessable. All documents must be resolved within 10 workdays. Exception: Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, should be processed in five workdays. These time frames do not apply while inventory is unworkable due to the following reasons: Taxpayer contact Accounting or Adjustment action, (except consolidated Form 1120 in Accounting. These will be processed in five workdays.) Prescribed resequencing action ECC-MTB Transcripts Entity Control Suspense Extensive research (includes ISRP/RRPS TC 610 cases) Examination suspense Review by Refund Fraud & Investigative Support (RFIS) Documents not readily available in campus Control by Technical Bankruptcy Suspense ERS Workable Suspense items (Rejects) should be worked or re-suspended within five workdays. Correspondence should be issued within 10 workdays of being identified. Aged reject cases (60 calendar days and over) should be worked as quickly as possible and should not exceed twenty (20) percent of the inventory. TEGE reject cases are aged when over 90 days. Aged cases should be completed within 120 calendar days. These requirements can be found by referring to IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions and IRM 3.12.37, IMF General Instructions, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:BMF and C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:IMF.

# Rejects Service Center Replacement System (SCRS) Paper Register

3.30.123.2.4.3 (01-01-2026) Rejects Service Center Replacement System (SCRS) Paper Register SCRS is the manual system used to correct errors that have failed validity, consistency or math computations. All work received in the Rejects/SCRS functions comes from ISRP, SCRIPS or Accounting. Error Registers containing the transcribed fields which have failed validity consistency or math computations are distributed daily for tax examiners to make proper corrections. The Error Correction Control function receives the error register from the local Information Technology (IT) print area normally within a day after receiving the carts of newly transcribed documents. After assignment of the paper registers, corrective action should generally be completed within three workdays. If the information transcribed from the first register still does not pass the required checks, a second register called a "loop register" is printed and worked in the same manner as the first register. The Daily Error Volume Report (GMF10-43) is a listing of volumes of error records in each program on the error tape and is in Error Sequence Number Julian Date. The last line of the report contains the total volume for all programs within the Master File and Julian Date specified. The Error Register Summary (GMF10-42) is produced when the error register is printed. It provides management with the count of all the error documents printed on the register for that day and the total error documents in error status for all program numbers within a Master File. All errors should be corrected or rejected within three weeks of the Error Sequence Julian Date. For additional information regarding corrections made on paper registers, refer to IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:BMF.

# Unpostables

3.30.123.2.4.4 (01-01-2026) Unpostables The Unpostable Program, also referred to as Generalized Unpostable Framework (GUF), is a database inventory system containing tax returns or source documents that have failed validity and consistency checks at the Master File. The Unpostable System may either assign or close the Unpostable record to a unique function, such as Accounting, Entity, Criminal Investigation (CI), or Examination for resolution, or Place the Unpostable record in an open inventory to be worked by Criminal Investigation, Entity Control, Examination, Statutes, or Unpostables. The Unpostable Record must be closed off the system using defined resolution codes. General Procedures for Unpostables are as follows: New Unpostables will be loaded Monday night by Enterprise Operations and taken into the Unpostable, Criminal Investigation, Exam, Statute, Employee Plans Master File (EPMF) Entity, Exempt Organization, and Entity inventories within three days after receipt from ECC-MTB. They will be available to work Tuesday morning. Weekly GUF reports pertaining to new inventory will be available Tuesday morning. The Integrated Document Solutions Enterprise (IDSE) will transmit the closed Unpostables to ECC-MTB on Tuesday or they will miss the ECC Weekly Update. Missing this update will cause adverse effects such as incorrect cycling. GUF corrections will be transmitted only on Tuesday night. Missing this update will not allow the weekly closures to be included in the GUF Inventory reports. Weekly GUF reports pertaining to closed inventory will be available Wednesday morning. Total Aged Unpostable cases will be worked as quickly as possible and must not exceed 20 percent of the ending inventory. The 20 percent requirement is applicable to each master file category separately (e.g., Business Master File (BMF) aged inventory will not exceed 20 percent of BMF ending inventory). Note: If a Form 4442, Inquiry Referral is received it must be completed within 20 days of the received date. Repeat Unpostables should not exceed 10 percent of the current week's receipts. The 10 percent requirement is applicable to each Master File category separately. Correspondence for Unpostable cases must be issued within 10 workdays of determining contact is needed. Unworkable and workable inventory levels (excluding bankruptcies) should not exceed a 21-workday processing cycle. If a campuses ending inventory exceeds its receipts by 15 percent for three consecutive weeks, or its aged inventory exceeds 20 percent per week the inventory will be considered unmanageable. Aged inventory percentages are determined for each function worked within the individual Master Files. Stringent management measures must be taken to bring percentages back to manageable levels. The following are for all functions working Unpostables to help in maintaining these levels: Nullified Unpostables that are to be reinput will receive expedite processing. Reinput tax returns should not be shelved. Review and completely resolve, to the extent possible, all Unpostable conditions that could result in a repeat Unpostable. Review the aged inventory so that high dollar amounts ($25,000 or more) and VERY old cases are kept to a minimum. Refund and payment documents must be given a higher priority than other Unpostables. Local Management will decide highest priority. Specific Unpostable listings are generated to identify refund tax returns to ensure the 45-calendar day interest free period is met. After the tax return due date, refund tax returns will receive the highest priority to meet the 45-calendar day interest free period. Exception: An interest-free period of 180 days applies to an overpayment resulting from tax deducted and withheld under Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, see IRC 6611(e)(4). Note: Ensure Manual Refunds are issued on all Applicable Refunds (e.g., refunds of $1 million or more). Refer to IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds. Review 100 percent of all repeat unpostables for each Master File. Each campus will maintain adequate staffing and terminals. An unreversed TC 582 on the module indicates a lien is present. Refer to IRM 5.12.3, Lien Release and Related Topics, regarding the necessity of a manual lien release. Employees of the functions with access to the Automated Lien System (ALS) will input lien release requests in these situations. For those functions that do not have access to ALS, determine the Centralized Lien Unit (CLU) lien release contact on the IRS Intranet by going to: IRS Source SERP Click on the "Who/Where" tab at the top of the page Click on "Centralized Lien Processing."

# Entity

3.30.123.2.4.5 (01-01-2026) Entity The Entity function in the Submission Processing Center involves establishing, changing, maintaining or perfecting the Entity portion of taxpayer accounts. The following guidelines will be used in evaluating the effectiveness of entity processing. Incoming mail and cases are either delivered to the Entity Clerical Unit (ECU), clerical support area, or are to be picked up by an ECU designee from the appropriate area(s) on at least a daily basis. Batching must be timely (timely is defined as no more than two workdays from the Entity received date). This applies to faxes and phone calls in addition to regular Entity receipts. Incoming work received via the Document Upload Tool (DUT), must be printed within two workdays of receipt by an ECU designee. Batching of work received via DUT must be batched within four workdays from the Entity received date. All time frames start from IRS received date, unless otherwise specified. The time frame for tax returns received from R&C is five calendar days. The time frame for tax returns received from other functions is five calendar days from receipt in Entity Control. The Batch/Block Tracking System (BBTS) is used to track Entity inventories for Individual Master File (IMF), BMF, Exempt Organizations (EO), and Employee Plans (EP). See Exhibit 3.30.123-9, IMF Entity BBTS and WP&C Function/Program Code Chart, Exhibit 3.30.123-10, BMF Entity BBTS and WP&C Function/Program Code Chart, Exhibit 3.30.123-11, EP Entity BBTS and WP&C Function/Program Code Chart and Exhibit 3.30.123-12, EO Entity BBTS and WP&C Function/Program Code Chart, for the BBTS code, WP&C Function Program code, Management Information Report (MIR) line number, BBTS Description, Detailed Description of Work, Turnaround, and Overage Tolerance Percent for the various Master Files identified. Turnaround is the number of workdays the IRM allows for a timely closure. If the IRM specifies same day closure, the turnaround time is one day. Work received today and closed tomorrow has a two-day turnaround. Overage becomes critical when the percentage exceeds the overage tolerance of 30 percent. The number of calendar days allowed in suspense is the maximum length of time an item is held in suspense. It has no bearing on the age of an item. It is used for the Suspense Purge reports. The requirements can be found by referring to IRM 3.13.5, Individual Master File (IMF) Account Numbers and IRM 3.13.2, BMF Account Numbers, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:SPB:PP. For additional information, refer to the BBTS User Guide.

# Block Out of Balance (BOB)

3.30.123.2.4.6 (01-01-2026) Block Out of Balance (BOB) When a detail record of a tax return entered into the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP), Service Center Recognition/Image Processing System (SCRIPS), Lockbox processing, or electronic submission processing fails to match the detail record of the block header, the information for the block of work is retained on the Block Out of Balance (BOB) file. The following guidelines will be used in evaluating the effectiveness of processing blocks out of balance: Any BOB not cleared from the BOB file within two weeks is considered aged. Payment blocks (Document Codes 17, 18, 19, 70, 76, and 97) should be worked on a priority basis. Blocks with Service Center Control File (SCCF) related BOB conditions (codes N, Q, R and S) will be given priority because the corrective action may affect other blocks. If the block is not corrected within 30 days, the Document Locator Number (DLN) will appear on the SCCF aged list in the Data Controls function. The requirements can be found by referring to IRM 3.40.37, General Instructions, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:ATP:AD.

# Service Center Control File (SCCF) Age Review

3.30.123.2.4.7 (01-01-2026) Service Center Control File (SCCF) Age Review The SCCF is a real time database that controls the establishment and processing activities of all documents, including revenue receipts, received and processed through the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) for accountability by the Submission Processing Center Field Director. The SCCF database must be monitored to identify unprocessed blocks. Items will age on SCCF according to criteria established by document type and input source. The SCCF Aged Modules must be monitored to ensure timely processing of all form types. The SCCF aged should be used as a tool to identify and expedite unprocessed blocks that fall under the PCD requirement. The following guidelines may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of SCCF aged review. Monitor the documents aged in the "1-3 months" category to ensure the volume is acceptable for the time period. For example, these volumes will be higher during peak processing periods, especially during heavy BMF receipt periods. These aged transcripts should be reviewed when received to prevent further aging. Routinely having items in the "4 months" category is an indication of insufficient attention in getting cases resolved. Data Control must provide documentation to Headquarters for all blocks aged "4 months." At a minimum, this documentation should include the original system input source (EOD, RPS, ISRP, etc.) research and activity history, and the planned resolution, including projected processing date. SCCF levels in the aged category of "4 months" should not be exceeded for any two consecutive months, or three cumulative months. Any number of documents aged "5+ months" is unacceptable. Any item reported in the 4 and 5+ month categories require an explanation in the comments section. Annotate the SCCF Aged Lists with detailed explanations. Note: For additional information refer to Researching the SCCF Aged List in IRM 3.12.37, IMF General Instructions and/or IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions. The SCCF aged transcript reports will be available in the first running of SCCF in each new cycle. For specific SCCF aged instructions refer to IRM 3.17.30, SC Data Controls, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:ATP:AD. For additional reporting instructions, refer to IRM 3.30.124, Campus Monitoring Reports.

# Deposit and Accounting Guidelines

3.30.123.3 (01-01-2026) Deposit and Accounting Guidelines The Service is committed to ensuring a 24-hour deposit standard. As we move toward attaining that goal through improved technology, it is of the utmost importance to deposit the largest amount of money in the shortest possible time frame in order to achieve good cash management practices. For payments processed through the Remittance Strategy-Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) system, the 24-hour deposit standard is met by scanning the paper check and submitting it for deposit no later than the first business day after the date of the receipt of the check. Note: Remittances received on Saturday, Sunday and holidays need not be deposited until the next business day (the day following the weekend/holiday). Remittances of $50,000.00 and up to $99,999.99 must be deposited by the next business day (excluding Saturdays and Sundays). During identified peak periods all attempts must be made to deposit these items the same day of extraction or no later than the next business day. Remittances of $100,000.00 or more must be deposited on the day of extraction. If the remittance is extracted after the daily cut-off time for processing the daily deposit, the remittance must be deposited with the next scheduled deposit that will be delivered to the depository. Submission Processing Field Office Payment Processing functions must issue Form 809, Receipts for Payment of Taxes, to employees with valid authorizations on file within two business days of request. Submission Processing Field Office Payment Processing functions must issue Form 5919, Teller's Error Advice, to the appropriate field office manager within three business days, when critical errors are observed on official receipts. See IRM 3.30.123.20.2, Instructions for Field Exam Payments of $100,000 or More.

# Peak Deposit Cycles

3.30.123.3.1 (01-01-2026) Peak Deposit Cycles The extended cycle for depositing receipts for the April peak completion date is determined by Taxpayer Services (TS) Operating Division and sent to the Campuses via memorandum. During the following mini-peaks, extended cycles must not exceed five business days. However, the deposit cycle may be extended to a maximum of two workdays. Form 1040, , during the October period. Form 1120, , during the March period. Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, during the February, March, May, August, and November periods. During the January 15 and September 15 periods, when large volumes of mail are received. A deposit cycle is a 24-hour time limit authorized to accomplish the deposit of all remittances received each day. The deposit cycle may be extended to a maximum of three workdays during the January, April, July and October 31 periods, when business returns are received. During the above-mentioned peak periods, multiple daily deposit pickups should normally be utilized in order to continue to deposit the largest amount of money in the shortest time frame. Submission Processing Centers will usually schedule two deposit pickups during peaks, taking into consideration prior year receipts and production standards balanced with approved projected changes (e.g., consolidation issues, transshipping, increase in e-filed tax returns, changes in Lockbox volume, etc.). These requirements can be found by referring to IRM 3.8.44, Campus Deposit Activity, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:MM/DC.

# Campus Deposit

3.30.123.3.2 (01-01-2026) Campus Deposit The Service is committed to ensuring a 24-hour deposit standard. As we move toward attaining that goal through improved technology, it is of the utmost importance to deposit the largest amount of money in the shortest possible time frame in order to maintain good cash management practices. Management at all levels must monitor the flow of receipts to ensure that this objective is achieved. Remittances of $100 million or more must be deposited on the day of receipt. Note: Remittances received on Saturday, Sunday and holidays need not be deposited until the next business day (the day following the weekend/holiday). All remittances of $100,000.00 or more must be deposited on the day of extraction. If the remittance is extracted after the daily cut-off time for processing the daily deposit, the remittance must be deposited with the next scheduled deposit that will be delivered to the depository. All remittances of $50,000.00 and up to $99,999.99 must be deposited by the next business day (excluding Saturdays and Sundays). During peak periods identified above in IRM 3.30.123.3.1 (1), Peak Deposit Cycles, all attempts must be made to deposit these items the same day of extraction or no later than the next business day. These requirements and additional information can be found by referring to IRM 3.8.44, Campus Deposit Activity, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:MM/DC and IRM 3.8.45, Manual Deposit Process, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:ATP:AD.

# Cycle Definitions

3.30.123.4 (01-01-2026) Cycle Definitions The word "Cycle" is used two different ways within Submission Processing. Cycle can be used as a "daily counter," usually of non-holiday Monday through Friday days, from a start date through a stop date. Cycle can also be used to refer to a week, which is usually designated by a cycle number. Note: Effective January 2012, the Campus Production Cycles changed to begin on a Thursday and end on a Wednesday. The cycles for campus and ECC-MTB can be found by referring to IRM 2.7.9, Enterprise Computing Center - Martinsburg (ECC-MTB) Processing Timeliness, owned by OS:CTO:EO:EC:OS.

# Operating Number of Days in Cycle - A Day Counter

3.30.123.4.1 (06-28-2024) Operating Number of Days in Cycle - A Day Counter Definition- For any selected ending date for an individual campus - starting with the cumulative production (Good Tape) volume for a single Program Number, the operating number of days in cycle is the number of non-holiday, Monday through Friday days ago the cumulative receipts for the calendar year for that Program Number at that campus most closely approximated the total number of tax returns that went to Good Tape for the calendar year. Example: The campus has achieved an 11-day cycle when for a selected ending date, counting both the received date and the ending date, ten workdays earlier the cumulative receipts are equal to or is less than the total number of tax returns processed to Good Tape. Cumulative receipt volumes can be derived from data available in the Pipeline Inventory Monitoring System (PIMS) Function Volume Report (for Function 110). Good Tape volumes (Function 950) are available from the Balance Forward Listing (PCD 03-44). Note: Operating number of days in cycle can be calculated throughout the year. However, programs with low annual receipts and during periods when Rejects inventories (awaiting taxpayer response to correspondence) or Unpostables are high and New Receipts are low, the number of days in cycle tends to increase daily, regardless of how little inventory may be in other functional areas. When this occurs, the operating number of days in cycle may not be the best indicator of timely processing of new receipts. When programs exceed operating number of days in cycle, the BBTS Accomplished Cycle should be used before making a final determination that program cycle times are not being exceeded.

# Batch/Block Tracking System (BBTS) Accomplished Cycles - A Day Counter

3.30.123.4.2 (06-28-2024) Batch/Block Tracking System (BBTS) Accomplished Cycles - A Day Counter Definition- For any selected ending date for an individual campus - starting with the cumulative production (Systems Operations - Function 610) volume for a single Program Number, the BBTS Accomplished Cycle is the number of non-holiday, Monday through Friday days ago, the cumulative receipts for the calendar year for that Program Number at that campus most closely approximated the total number of tax returns that had been released from Function 610 for the calendar year. Example: If for a selected ending date, counting both the received date and the ending date, nine workdays earlier the cumulative receipts are equal to or less than the total production volume for Function 610, the campus is on a 10-day BBTS Accomplished Cycle. Cumulative Receipt volumes can be derived from data available in the Pipeline Inventory Monitoring System (PIMS) Function Volume Report (for Function 110). Cumulative Production volumes for (Function 610) are available from the Daily Production Report (PCC 22-40). Note: BBTS Accomplished Cycle can be calculated throughout the year. When campus production cycles are high due to low annual receipts or periods with a high Rejects or Unpostables inventory and low New Receipts, the BBTS Accomplished Cycle may be a better indicator of the timely processing of new receipts. Sites must strive to maintain Operating Number of Days in Cycle time prior to utilizing BBTS Accomplished Cycle to determine if cycles are being exceeded.

# Generalized Mainframe Framework (GMF) Campus Production Cycles - A Week Counter

3.30.123.4.3 (01-01-2026) Generalized Mainframe Framework (GMF) Campus Production Cycles - A Week Counter Definition- A period of time during which all GMF processing outputs to Tape Editing Process (TEP) will subsequently be worked together during the "weekly" processing at the Enterprise Computing Center-Martinsburg (ECC-MTB). Note: In January 2012, IMF began processing TEPs daily for daily transactions directed to daily taxpayer accounts. All BMF, EPMF, and IMF weekly accounts or transactions will be processed at ECC-MTB on Thursdays. The acceleration of the cycle results in the inability for a campus to extend a production cycle. As a means of shorthand, the GMF Campus Production Cycle for a particular week is expressed by a six-digit code; the first four digits indicate the year, and the last two digits are the week in the year. Example: The third cycle in calendar year 2026, beginning on Thursday, January 15, 2026, through Wednesday, January 21, 2026, is Processing Cycle 202603. See Exhibit 3.30.123-1, GMF Production Cycles. Normally this describes the TEP outputs from Thursday night's GMF processing through Wednesday night's GMF processing. The results for this period would be sent to ECC-MTB on Friday through Thursday.

# Enterprise Computing Center-Martinsburg (ECC-MTB) Posting Cycles - A Week Counter

3.30.123.4.4 (01-01-2026) Enterprise Computing Center-Martinsburg (ECC-MTB) Posting Cycles - A Week Counter Definition- The week the tax return or other transaction posted to the master file. Note: Some transactions processed on IMF are posted on a daily cycle instead of weekly. A period of time during which all GMF processing inputs from TEP received from the campus locations are processing at ECC-MTB. The ECC-MTB Posting Cycle for a particular week is expressed by a six-digit code; the first four digits indicate the year, and the last two digits are the week in the year. Example: The third cycle in calendar year 2026 is Posting Cycle 202603. See Exhibit 3.30.123-2, ECC-MTB Posting Cycles. The ECC-MTB Posting Cycles calendar has been revised to reflect the true posting week beginning on Friday and ending on Thursday. The cycle number used as the GMF Campus Production Cycle for one week will be the same cycle number used as the ECC-MTB Posting Cycles when posting occurs. The cycle number, then, describes the same information being processed. Example: The GMF Campus Production Cycle 202604 runs from Thursday, January 22, 2026, through Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The ECC-MTB Posting Cycle 202604 runs from Friday, January 23, 2026, through Thursday, January 29, 2026. BMF, EPMF and IMF weekly transactions and weekly accounts will be processed on the last day (Thursday) of the Posting Cycle.

# Accelerated Cycles - A Week Counter

3.30.123.4.5 (01-01-2026) Accelerated Cycles - A Week Counter Definition- A cycle for which coordinated procedures have been established between Enterprise Computing Center-Martinsburg (ECC-MTB) and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) to accelerate the issuance of refunds for 1041 series and 1120 series tax returns only. Note: In January 2012, with IMF processing daily, refund issuance is also accelerated to four business days for direct deposit refunds and six business days for paper check refunds. With the accelerated refund cycle, there will no longer be a need for an IMF 1040 series Accelerated Cycle. The result is that any refund 1041 series and 1120 series tax returns that are cleared to Good Tape at the Submission Processing Center, will receive accelerated processing at ECC-MTB in an effort to reduce refund interest paid by the IRS. Accelerated Cycles apply to all campus locations and are negotiated nationally. As required by the accelerated refund process, no systemic intercepts IDRS Command Code (NOREF) or manual code (STDDS) may be requested for any accelerated refund cycle. The last day for input of manual refunds is two workdays prior to the check/mail date. Local coordination with the Hyattsville Regional Operating Center (HROC) must be established to ensure the manual refund Electronic Data Transmission (EDT) is sent from the campuses timely. Sufficient time must be allowed for HROC to process the manual refund tapes to meet the applicable check issuance date. Each campus should contact HROC to confirm their latest manual refund schedule acceptance. Accelerating Cycles will help achieve significant savings by providing an opportunity to eliminate interest on refunds that have been delayed in the processing stream. The PCD is not extended by the availability of the interest-free cycle. During the Accelerated Cycle, emphasis should be placed on reducing the Rejects and GUF inventory of refund tax returns. Note: The acceleration that occurs is primarily at ECC-MTB and BFS, not to the Campus PCD. See IRM 3.30.123.7.8.1 for the Campus PCD tables for 1120 series tax returns and Form 1120-C, U.S. Income Tax Return for Cooperative Associations, refunds under the "ECC-MTB Posting Cycles" headings in the refund charts.

# Extended Cycles - A Week Counter

3.30.123.4.6 (01-01-2014) Extended Cycles - A Week Counter Implementation of CADE2 resulted in the change to the campus cycle and accelerating master file processing to Thursdays, an extended cycle can no longer be requested.

# Dead Cycles - A Week Counter

3.30.123.4.7 (01-01-2026) Dead Cycles - A Week Counter Definition- ECC-MTB Posting Cycles during which MASTER FILE postings do not occur. No data is lost. The delay in posting is solely related to start-up for the yearly changes to the Master Files. For BMF, there are two dead cycles each year. For 2026, they are ECC-MTB Posting Cycles 202601 and 202602. BMF transactions that are sent from the campus locations during GMF Campus Production Cycles 202601, 202602, and 202603 will attempt to post to the BMF during ECC-MTB Posting Cycle 202603. For IMF, there are three dead cycles each year. For 2026, they are ECC-MTB Posting Cycles 202601, 202602, and 202603. IMF transactions that are sent from the campus locations during GMF Campus Production Cycles 202601, 202602, 202603, and 202604 will attempt to post to the IMF during ECC-MTB Posting Cycle 202604. Most campus processing can continue during the dead cycles. Just as with Accelerated Cycles, the majority of the impact is on Master File processing at ECC-MTB.

# Maximum Processing Cycles - A Day Counter

3.30.123.4.8 (01-01-2014) Maximum Processing Cycles - A Day Counter The cycles listed under the specific form under the particular Master File section (e.g., IMF, BMF, Information Returns Program (IRP) etc.,) in this IRM specifies the maximum operating number of days in cycle in workdays for documents and tax returns. Area Office (AO) and campus operations must be planned so that these cycle times will not be exceeded. These are maximum cycles and should be shortened whenever it is practical to do so. To monitor current overall cycle length for a program, find the date on which the cumulative actual receipt volume most closely approximated the cumulative volume for (Function 950) and count the number of Monday through Friday days (excluding holidays), including Functions 110 and 950.

# IMF Daily Processing

3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2026) IMF Daily Processing IMF processing will be daily except on weekends. Some transactions post to IMF on a daily basis as opposed to during the weekly cycle. IMF Cycle Date is a daily cycle designated by an eight-digit number indicating the year, the two-digit cycle number and the two digit number indicating the day of the week (YYYYWWDD). The following values for DD are defined: 01 = Friday 02 = Monday 03 = Tuesday 04 = Wednesday 05 = Thursday Note: This date is the equivalent of the Cycle Date in IDRS and reflects the date the transaction is posted by IMF. See Exhibit 3.30.123-2, ECC - MTB Posting Cycles. Example: IMF daily transactions balanced and released by the campus on Monday, August 3, 2026 will have a posting cycle of 20263102. Elongated Day is created when two (or more) days of IMF daily input are processed in a single IMF daily day. This usually occurs due to scheduled non-business days, such as federal holidays, and dead cycles. In those situations, the IMF Posting Date will be the last or latest date in the Elongated Day. Any holiday input will be combined with the following business day and the posting date will be the business day after the holiday, unless IMF processing problems occur. An IMF Deferred Day occurs when IMF has a scheduled processing day but does not process. There will be scheduled deferred days to allow the IMF to reanalyze the accounts to mark as daily or weekly. Unscheduled deferred days may also occur when an IMF programming problem has been identified but cannot be corrected without impacting IDRS availability. For both scheduled and unscheduled deferred days, the daily input will be combined with the next processing day's input and will reflect the posting date of the actual IMF processing day. IMF Refund Payment Date -The IMF Refund Payment Date will be computed by IMF for both Direct Deposit and Paper Check refunds and will be listed on the refund transaction TC 846 in fields: "RFND-PAY-DATE" on IMFOL, format MMDDYYYY. "RFND-PYMT-DT" on TXMOD, format YYYYMMDD. IMF computes this field as the posted cycle date PLUS four business days for Direct Deposit refunds; posted cycle date PLUS six business days for Paper Check refunds. These requirements are owned by OS:CTO:EO:OS:PC.

# Taxpayer Correspondence, Centralized Authorization File (CAF), Statutes, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) Photocopies and Files

3.30.123.5 (01-01-2026) Taxpayer Correspondence, Centralized Authorization File (CAF), Statutes, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) Photocopies and Files This subsection contains processing time frames for IRS generated correspondence (including letters and CP notices) and taxpayer generated correspondence. It also contains information about Statutes, Power of Attorney, RAIVS and TAS. Receipt & Control/Campus Support Operations should route taxpayer correspondence to the appropriate area within 2 workdays (4 workdays during peak processing) of the IRS received date. See Exhibit 3.30.123-6, IDRS Correspondex Master Letter Tape Monthly Updates, for the schedule of transmittal times for changes to the Correspondex.

# Correspondence Suspension Purge Dates

3.30.123.5.1 (01-01-2026) Correspondence Suspension Purge Dates Cases being held in suspense pending taxpayer response to Service correspondence are to be purged 10 calendar days after the suspense period ends. The suspense period is the time the taxpayer has been allowed to answer, generally 30 calendar days for domestic and an additional 30 days for taxpayers residing overseas. The 10-day purge date can vary, refer to IRM 3.13.62, Media Transport and Control, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:MM/DC.

# Response to Correspondence and Overage Criteria

3.30.123.5.2 (01-01-2026) Response to Correspondence and Overage Criteria The Annual Business Plan includes, as Corporate Critical Success Factor, Action 61/Policy Statement P-21-3, to improve the quality and timeliness of taxpayer correspondence. RRA 98 Section 1102(c) modified Action 61/Policy Statement P-21-3. RRA 98 Section 1102(c) requires a final response to the taxpayer to be initiated by the 30th day from the earliest IRS received date. For specific instructions for handling taxpayer correspondence refer to IRM 21.3.3, Incoming and Outgoing Correspondence/Letters, or refer to Part 3: Submission Processing, for a specific form. Letters addressed to outside sources must reference the date of the incoming letter or inquiry and fully explain the action taken, even if the action taken was exactly what the addressee requested. If during a taxpayer contact it appears that the taxpayer is experiencing economic harm, seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, or who believe that an IRS system or procedure is not working as it should, and you can't resolve the taxpayer's issue the same day, complete Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (And Application for Taxpayer Assistance order), and refer the taxpayer to Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS). Refer to IRM 13.1.7.2, Introduction to TAS Case Criteria, IRM 21.1.3, Operational Guidelines Overview. See IRM 3.30.123.5.9, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Criteria. All final responses (quality responses) must be initiated within 30 calendar days of the earliest "IRS Received" date. However, every effort should be made to provide quality responses in less time. A quality response is an accurate and professional communication which, based on information provided, resolves the taxpayer's issues, requests additional information from the taxpayer, or notifies the taxpayer we have requested information from outside IRS. A final response is timely when initiated within 30 calendar days of the IRS received date. When a final response cannot be initiated within the 30 calendar days, an interim response will be initiated by the 30th calendar day from the IRS received date. Generally, when a case is routed to another IRS office for resolution, send the Letter 86C, Referring Taxpayer Inquiry/Forms to Another Office, and annotate on the case that Letter 86C was sent and the date it was initiated. Refer to IRM 21.3.3, Incoming and Outgoing Correspondence/Letters, for exceptions. Exception: Letter 86C is not sent when a case is routed to another building within a campus. An interim letter may not be sent for suspended tax returns in pipeline. If no taxpayer response is received, the tax return will be processed with Taxpayer Notice Code(s) (TPNC) explaining the action taken and how to file an amended tax return and provide the necessary schedule/form or pertinent data. Subsequent interim letters will be issued if the targeted final response date is not met. Interim letters must: Identify the reason the final response is delayed, and Specify when the final response will be mailed, and Include the name, telephone number, and organizational code symbols for reference purposes as a contact point. Note: Where feasible, the contact point should be someone familiar with the issues. These guidelines do not supersede the statutory 20 workday time frame to respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) inquiries and 10 workdays for Privacy Act (PA) inquiries. The 20 or 10 workdays do not include Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holidays. Refer to IRM 11.3.13, Freedom of Information Act and IRM 10.5.6, Privacy Act. The guidelines in IRM 11.3.1, Introduction to Disclosure, are applicable to all IRS functions, unless the Senior Deputy Commissioner has approved a deviation in writing. All FOIA and PA requests are to be sent via overnight mail to: Note: Refer to IRM 10.5.1, Privacy Policy, for proper data protection procedures when shipping PII, and to determine correct shipping provider and correct shipping procedures for shipping through a private delivery carrier. Mailing Address Private Delivery Service (PDS) Mailing GLDS Support Services Stop 93A P.O. Box 621506 Atlanta, GA 30362 GLDS Support Services Stop 93A 4800 Buford Hwy Chamblee, GA 39901–0093 Certain types of inquiries (e.g., Congressional, Taxpayer Advocate Service cases, Bankruptcy, Underreporter Statutory Notice of Deficiency responses) have guidelines which necessitate a response time of less than 30 calendar days for the issuance of a final response. The guidelines in IRM 1.10.1, IRS Correspondence Manual, do not supersede time frames for such special types of inquiries, when said time frames are mandated by law, regulation, or policy. The IRS received date for IDRS control will be determined as follows: All taxpayer inquiries, regardless of where initially received or subsequently routed (e.g., AO, Unpostables, Referrals, Underreporter, Statute, Collection, Examination, etc.), must be controlled with the earliest IRS received date. If the taxpayer initiated correspondence is returned to the taxpayer, the case is closed. If that same taxpayer initiated correspondence is resubmitted to the IRS, the case is then reopened and ages from the date the resubmitted correspondence is received. For taxpayer inquiries on previously closed cases, the date to be used as the IRS received date is the date the new inquiry is received by IRS. All computer-generated Master File cases (CP 29, Amended Return Posted, No Original/ CP 190, Notification that an Amended Return was Received but an Original Return was not Received), (CP 36, Duplicate Filing Notice/ CP 193, Transcript, No-Merge, etc.,) will age from the 23C date on the notice or transcript less 14 calendar days. An interim acknowledgment letter is not required, in addition. All AMRH transcripts age from the 23C date of the Master File extract minus seven calendar days. This works out to the first Monday date after the Master File extract. Cases which are not taxpayer initiated that are referred to Accounts Management Paper function from Notice Review, Unpostables, Collection (including Area Office Collection), and Accounting (AMRH Transcripts) should be controlled using an IRS received date reflecting the date the case was received in Accounts Management and age from that date. Any case closed by Unpostables with URC 2 will open a control base on IDRS to the employee who input the original transaction or designated Area Office. The IRS received date for these cases will be the correspondence date in the DP Adjustment record or the GUF 15 closing date if no correspondence date is in the record. Note: Once the correct IRS received date is determined, the date must never be changed. Accounts Management Paper function cases initiated by taxpayers (e.g., Claims for Refund) will be processed in a maximum of 45 calendar days and internally generated adjustment cases will be processed in a maximum of the calendar days referenced in Document 6209 IRS Processing Codes and Information. If a case requires any of the following actions, it can be placed in IDRS status "Other" until the requested material is received. If the case cannot be closed within three workdays after the receipt of the requested material, the IDRS status must be changed to "Assigned." Taxpayer contact or contact with the taxpayer's authorized representative - If the IRS request is not received within 40 calendar days (30 calendar days indicated in the letter to the taxpayer and 10 calendar days purge time), except for overseas taxpayers who have a 70-calendar day purge time, and the case cannot be resolved without this information, the case will be rejected as a no reply case. Contact with the following: Regional Finance Center, Social Security Administration, State agencies, and other campuses. Cases pending manual reactivation of retention register accounts. Processing delays affecting Non-Master File (NMF) tax returns and unsettled master file tax returns and transactions. Background status is to be used only for cases that are closed but are being monitored for unique posting situations and Tentative Carryback (TCB) post refund review, or non-tax related cases such as request for copies of previously filed tax returns. Taxpayer initiated cases/correspondence and internally/computer generated cases/correspondence will both begin to age on the IRS received date. The received date on internally/computer generated cases will be the date on the source document. However, if the IRS received date is not on the source document, or it is not identifiable, the received date will be the date the source document is discovered. Cases from Notice Review will begin to age from the notice date, (23C date). Exception: During peak processing, campuses may exceed the inventory aged guidelines of 45 calendar days. However, during that time management should ensure that notice inventory is worked on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis, to reduce/eliminate overage. Post-allowance review of TCB applications is not considered taxpayer generated correspondence. Post-allowance cases should be controlled from the current received date. This date should not exceed March 31 of the succeeding year. All cases will become overage on the 45th calendar day after the IRS received date, except for the following: Internally/computer generated cases (CP) will age 75 calendar days from the IRS received date; International Taxpayer Initiated Adjustment Cases and International Internal/CP will age 90 calendar days from the IRS received date, this includes Spanish and non-Spanish CPs generated on International Accounts (FLC 20, 21, 60 and 78); See the specific IRM for each type of case for other exceptions to the above aging criteria. Campus managers will develop follow-up procedures to ensure IDRS case status conforms with the above guidelines. In addition, the following objectives must be met: Timely control closure of all taxpayer-generated correspondence or interim letter thereof. Overage inventory must not exceed 15 percent of the total inventory regardless of its workability. Exception: For RAIVS criteria see IRM 3.30.123.5.10, Requests for Transcripts of Tax Returns, IRM 3.30.123.5.11, Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) Photocopy, and IRM 3.30.123.10.22, Tax Exempt Government Entities (TEGE) Photocopy. Overage Accounts Receivable Inventory of cases over $25,000 must not exceed 15 percent of the total over $25,000 Accounts Receivable Inventory in Accounts Management/Correspondence. These requirements apply to all taxpayer generated correspondence not only physically located and controlled in Accounts Management Paper function, but also work physically located in other campus organizations. These requirements are owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:AM:PPG:A and C:DC:TS:CAS:AM:PPG:A.

# Notice Review - Review of IMF and BMF Master File notices performed on the Online Notice Review (OLNR)

3.30.123.5.3 (01-01-2026) Notice Review - Review of IMF and BMF Master File notices performed on the Online Notice Review (OLNR) The Notice Review Processing System (NRPS) selects BMF Refund Transcripts and IMF/BMF computer paragraph (CP) notices meeting specific criteria. These selected notices are reviewed using the OLNR application prior to issuance to the taxpayer. Any errors discovered on the IDRS account and / or notice are corrected by Notice Review and the notice is retyped, labeled, voided or printed accordingly. Notice Review cases should be prioritized to review refund notices prior to the Thursday (for IMF) (see note) and Thursday 4 PM ET of the following cycle week (for BMF) cutoff for input of command code NOREF. Note: With IMF accelerated refund issuance, Notice Review can prevent the refund from being issued to the taxpayer up until Thursday 10 PM Eastern time using procedures in IRM 3.14.1, IMF Notice Review. Correct and mail notices timely to minimize negative impact to the taxpayer. For Notice Review, timely means ALL of the following: Closeout notice cycle on or before the Monday morning preceding the notice date. Complete ALL adjustments affecting refunds within the current OLNR cycle. Adjustments can be completed in cycle with a posting delay code, if needed. Note: If an IMF adjustment is input within the guidelines for using TC 570, the adjustment can be input without a posting delay code. When using the TC 570, IMF will recompute the refund amount on the day the systemic refund freeze is set to expire and issue the remaining balance. When using NOREFP, IMF will process the request, automatically establish a control base and prevent the refund transaction from being sent to FMS for refund issuance. The account balance will not recompute until one cycle after the input of the NOREFP. Input adjustment actions on ALL other cases by the notice 23C date. Notice Review should schedule and staff to work 100 percent of the notices selected for review. IMF Notice Review timeliness will be considered met if 100 percent of the sample is completed by Saturday 2 AM Eastern time. BMF Notice Review goal is 100 percent review. If 100 percent cannot be met, notice review prioritization should be followed, refer to IRM 3.14.1, IMF Notice Review and IRM 3.14.2, Notice Review - Business Master File (BMF) Notice Review. Exception: The following NRP Key selections should be 100 percent reviewed prior to closing the cycle: Master File NRP Key Selection IMF Key 61 IMF Key 100 IMF Key 04 IMF Manual Intervention List keys 01 and 04 BMF Category A Special Handling Notices identified as High Priority BMF Key 009 ME 90 (open paragraph literal) assigned These requirements are owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:SPB:PP.

# Balance Due, Return Delinquency and Backup Withholding Notices

3.30.123.5.4 (01-01-2026) Balance Due, Return Delinquency and Backup Withholding Notices To ensure that we attain the objectives of improving taxpayer relations and increasing the efficiency of our internal operations, it is necessary that we prevent needless and inappropriate notices and Taxpayer Delinquent Account/Taxpayer Delinquency Investigation (TDA/TDl) from being issued. The relatively short period between increasingly severe notices and TDA/TDI issuance makes prompt action imperative when processing taxpayer responses. Work that requires an action prior to the IDRS weekend batch processing should be identified as "Critical" and if it is not possible to complete the action prior to the end of the week, a delay will be input to suppress the issuance of the notice or TDA/TDI for the number of cycles required to complete the action. The STAUP should be input if the action cannot be completed by 16 cycles after the tax return due date or extended due date. Any data input by the 2nd Friday following the date on the notice will be accounted for in the next scheduled notice or TDA printing if that module has not been accelerated to TDA status. Routine CP 515, Unfiled Tax Returns- 1st Notice, all notices are dated on the Monday following the Saturday of the issuance cycle. The last date to input to IDRS to prevent subsequent notices is the Friday before the notice cycle. Routine IMF notices have Eight cycles before issuance of second (final) notice, CP 518, Final Notice-Return Delinquency. Routine BMF notices have Ten cycles before issuance of second (final) notice, CP 518. Priority Code "B" delinquencies (BMF only) receive only one notice, CP 259, Business Master File (BMF) Generated - First Taxpayer Delinquency Investigation (TDI) Notice. IMF Priority Code B cases will receive two notices, CP 59 , First Notice - Return Delinquency, Unfiled Tax Return(s), (refer to NOTE in (3) above) and CP 516, Unfiled Tax Returns - 2nd Notice, or CP 517, 3rd Notice - Return Delinquency. Routine EPMF Return Delinquency Notices -CP 403, Form 5500 or 5500-SF, First Delinquency Notice, and CP 406, Form 5500, Second Delinquency Notice. Routine EPMF first notices have 15 weeks before issuance of the second notice. Only two notices are issued. There are 15 weeks between issuance of the final notice and generation of TDI. If the notice reply cannot be worked before issuance of the second notice, a delay must be input using CC ASGNB. Critical dates appear on IDRS balance due and Return Delinquency Notices and should be used in determining the above deadlines. The IDRS Notice Return Delinquency Issuance Schedule is disseminated to the field and will be updated as changes occur. IMF taxpayers who fail to report or underreport interest, dividend, or patronage dividend income must receive at least four notices over a period of at least 210 calendar days before backup withholding (BWH) is implemented. The regular balance due notices are considered in this notice count as are regular return delinquency notices. Taxpayer responses received before the taxpayer is subjected to BWH (during the regular balance due/return delinquency notice routine) which warrant a delay in next notice/TDA/TDI issuance will be suspended routinely (i.e., "STAUP" /"TDIAD" , respectively). BWH taxpayers who receive less than three of the above referenced notices will receive supplemental BWH notices (CP 538, Backup Withholding Notification - Balance Due, on balance due and CP 540, Backup Withholding - C Notice - Taxpayer Notification of Non-Filer, on return delinquency taxpayers). If potential status taxpayer response is received after issuance of CP 538 or CP 540 which warrants a delay in subjecting the taxpayer to BWH, a manual indicator must be requested on Form 4442, . Form 4442 is processed by two centralized sites at Kansas City Compliance Services Collection Operation (CSCO) for Taxpayer Services Business Operating Division (WI BOD) and Philadelphia CSCO for Small Business/Self Employment (SB/SE) BOD. For additional information, refer to IRM 5.19.3, Backup Withholding Program. All taxpayers who have not satisfied the Backup Withholding (BWH) condition will receive a final BWH notice (CP 539, Backup Withholding Notification, on balance due and CP 541, Final Backup Withholding Notification, on return delinquency taxpayers) advising them they are subject to BWH. Simultaneously a CP 543, Backup Withholding (BWH) Notification - Payer Notification to Begin BWH on Taxpayer(s) Listed, is issued to payers advising them to start BWH. Once ECC-MTB monthly BWH analysis to generate the final BWH notices begins, a stop can only be requested via a manual indicator on Form 4442. These subject status stops will only be initiated when the taxpayer meets the criteria in IRM 5.19.3, Backup Withholding Program. ECC-MTB monthly analysis to generate the final BWH notices begins no earlier than 210 calendar days after the first BWH related notice, and no earlier than seven weeks after issuance of the third routing IMF balance due BWH related notice, or the third routine IMF return delinquency notice is issued, or the issuance of CP 538 or CP 540.

# Print Priorities

3.30.123.5.5 (01-01-2014) Print Priorities The BMF and IMF Assessment date (23C date) and the first notice date is Monday of the third week following Master File posting. All BMF and IMF settlement notices, taxpayer inquiry letters (non-IDRS), and Sample Notices are to be scheduled within normal priorities to ensure complete printing, review, release, and mail-out by the close of business on the Friday preceding the 23C date. Note: Daily notices issued by IMF that are not selectable for Notice Review, or are under tolerance to bypass NRPS (change in tax or balance due +/- $500 from the taxpayer's original amount on the return), will be mailed within 6 days of receipt at the Correspondence Print Site (CPS). Notices that are not selected for Notice Review will be mailed within 6 days of receipt at the CPS. Notices that are selected for Notice Review will be mailed by the 23C date. When the BMF and IMF tax return due date falls on Friday that is a holiday or on Saturday or on Sunday immediately preceding the 23C date, balance due settlement notices (non-IDRS) will be mailed by the close of business on the 23C date instead of the preceding Friday. Normal priorities should be used in scheduling printing operations. During the week subsequent to each report cycle, the printing of the Accounting and Operating Reports will be given appropriate priority. To ensure that we attain the objectives of improving taxpayer relations and increasing the efficiency of our internal operations, it is imperative that Collection computer output be expeditiously printed on a priority basis. This output (Taxpayer Delinquent Account (TDA), Taxpayer Delinquency Investigation (TDI), Balance Due Notices, Notices of Levy, Daily Transaction Registers (DTR), Installment Agreement Accounts list) and other Collection listings and reports must be printed early enough to allow distribution early on the first workday of the week. Because the nature of this work requires expeditious action to process the work as soon as possible, the local Information Technology (IT) print area should ensure that Collection computer output be placed on a separate skid or truck and prominently marked and made available to the Campus Support function prior to the campus prime shift on the first workday of each week. The Campus Support function will immediately process the output in accordance with procedures on a first priority basis the first workday of the week. Work requiring additional processing by the campus Compliance Services Collection Operation (CSCO) will be delivered to the CSCO by early morning on the first workday. Generally, work returned by CSCO for additional processing should be completed within the same workday as it is received from CSCO. The use of priorities shall not be construed as a substitute measure for the requirement of completed taxpayer and Area Office daily and weekly output processing. BMF and IMF settlement notices should be mailed out as soon as possible. TDA and TDI notices are to be mailed each workday of the week and all notices must be mailed by the last workday of the week. The TDAs and TDIs are to be shipped to Area Offices as soon as possible. The IDRS Daily Transaction Register must be mailed by Noon each day. The requirements for mailing notices can be found by referring to IRM 3.13.62, Media Transport and Control, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:MM/DC.

# Centralized Authorization File (CAF)

3.30.123.5.6 (01-01-2026) Centralized Authorization File (CAF) Check the CAF when you correspond with a notice or have phone contact to ensure you are contacting the filer, or their representative who is identified on the CAF. 170-22 is a daily run that deletes authorizations based on the purge date of the original document. The purge date for Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative and Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, is calculated to be seven years from the signed date. The purge date for Form 706, U.S. Estate Tax Return, is calculated as 15 years from the date the form was signed. 170-25 is a monthly run that determines if an authorization, which was previously input for a future tax period, is now current. If so, a transaction is generated to Master File. All Power of Attorney (POA) forms are worked on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis, regardless of the method used to submit authorization. All receipts will be processed within 5 business days. For additional information and requirements refer to IRM 21.3.7, Processing Third-Party Authorizations onto the Centralized Authorization File (CAF), owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:AM:PPM(BMF):SA.

# Change to Campus Return Address Printed on Notices

3.30.123.5.7 (02-02-2011) Change to Campus Return Address Printed on Notices In making changes to special campus return addresses computer generated on certain Master File and IDRS taxpayer notices, centers should ensure that a UWR is written at least one year in advance and give the complete new address, zip code and effective date of the change. Notification should be to Director, Submission Processing with copies furnished to Chief, Information Technology Services and Director, Compliance. These requirements belong to C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:SPB:PP.

# Statutes

# Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Criteria

3.30.123.5.9 (01-01-2026) Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Criteria The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate, that helps taxpayers and protects taxpayer rights. TAS offers free help to taxpayers when a tax problem is causing a financial difficulty, when they've tried and been unable to resolve their issue with the IRS, or when they believe an IRS system, process, or procedure just isn't working as it should. TAS strives to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. While the IRS is continually working to serve customers in a quality manner, some taxpayers still have difficulty getting solutions to their problems or getting timely and appropriate responses to their inquiries. Per IRC 7803(c), Congress established the office of the National Taxpayer Advocate (NTA) and its functions within the IRS to assist these taxpayers. TAS has identified criteria that qualify taxpayers for TAS assistance. The Case Advocate will conduct an independent review of actions that have been taken or need to be taken to resolve the problems taxpayers are experiencing. Employees must not view TAS Case Criteria as a means of excluding taxpayers from TAS, but rather, as a guide to TAS case acceptance. The criteria under which TAS accepts a case will not govern whether a taxpayer is entitled to relief. Refer taxpayers to the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) (see IRM Part 13, Taxpayer Advocate Service) when the contact meets TAS criteria (see IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria) and you can't resolve the taxpayer's issue the same day. The definition of "same day" is within 24 hours. "Same day" cases include cases you can completely resolve in 24 hours, as well as cases in which you have taken steps within 24 hours to begin resolving the taxpayer's issue. Do not refer these cases to TAS unless they meet TAS criteria and the taxpayer asks to be transferred to TAS. Refer to IRM 13.1.7.5, Same-Day Resolution by Operations. When referring cases to TAS, use Form 911, , and forward it to TAS in accordance with your local procedures. Check the TAS box on AMS, if applicable. Note: It is important that all IRS employees handle potential TAS cases with the taxpayer's best interest in mind. Refer also to IRM 21.1.3.18, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Guidelines, for more information. Provide the taxpayer with the number for the NTA toll-free case intake line, 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059. The taxpayer must be advised that TAS is available if the taxpayer is not satisfied with the service they received. An IRS employee must make a referral to a TAS office if the employee receives a taxpayer contact, and cannot initiate action to resolve the inquiry or provide the relief requested. A taxpayer does not have to specifically request TAS assistance to be referred to TAS. IRS employees will advise taxpayers of the option to seek TAS assistance when appropriate. TAS will request documentation from the taxpayer if it is needed to support the requested relief, or required by the IRM. The following types of cases will not be referred to TAS: Cases where the taxpayer's complaint or inquiry only questions the constitutionality of the tax system; or Cases where the focus of the taxpayer's inquiry is solely to employ frivolous tax strategies to avoid or delay filing or paying federal taxes. If a taxpayer is not represented, they may be eligible for assistance from a Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC). LITC serve individuals whose income is below a certain level and need to resolve tax problems such as audits, appeals, and tax collection disputes. Some clinics can provide information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in different languages for individuals who speak English as a second language. For more information see Pub 4134 , Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. Any taxpayer contact that meets any of the criteria listed below will be forwarded to the local Taxpayer Advocate for special handling using a Form 911, . The following is a list of situations to be referred if any of the criteria apply. Any taxpayer contact that meets any of the criteria listed below will be forwarded to the local Taxpayer Advocate for special handling using a Form 911, The following is a list of situations to be referred if any of the criteria apply. TAS Case Acceptance Criteria 1 The taxpayer is experiencing economic harm or is about to suffer economic harm. 2 The taxpayer is facing an immediate threat of adverse action. 3 The taxpayer will incur significant costs if relief is not granted (including fees for professional representation.) 4 The taxpayer will suffer irreparable injury or long-term adverse impact if relief is not granted. 5 The taxpayer has experienced a delay of more than 30 calendar days to resolve a tax account problem. 6 The taxpayer has not received a response or resolution to their problem or inquiry by the date promised. 7 A system or procedure has either failed to operate as intended, or failed to resolve the taxpayer's problem or dispute within the IRS. 8 The manner in which the tax laws are being administered raise considerations of equity, or have impaired or will impair the taxpayer's rights. 9 The National Taxpayer Advocate (NTA) determines compelling public policy warrants assistance to an individual or group of taxpayers. The NTA has the sole authority for determining which issues are included in this criterion and will so designate by memo. Note: Case criteria are not meant to be all inclusive. Evaluate each taxpayer situation based on the unique facts and circumstances of each case.

# Requests for Transcript of Tax Returns

3.30.123.5.10 (01-01-2026) Requests for Transcript of Tax Returns If online research does not provide the specific taxpayer data required to perform your duties, you may be required to order transcripts to close your case. Requests for copies of tax returns or tax forms are over aged at 75 calendar days after IRS receipt. "RAIVS" tax return transcript inventories are over aged at 10 workdays after IRS receipt. "IVES" tax return transcript inventories are over aged after 72 hours from IRS receipt excluding holidays and weekends. "Account Transcript" and "Records of Account" will age at 10 workdays unless the case is not available on the Transcript Delivery System (TDS). Those requests would age at 30 calendar days. Correspondence guidelines (Action 61/Policy Statement P-21-3) apply to all RAIVS (Return and Income Verification Services) function inventories. See IRM 3.30.123.5, Taxpayer Correspondence, Centralized Authorization Filed (CAF), Statutes, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) Photocopies and Files Exception: Correspondence guidelines (Action 61/Policy Statement P-21-3) do not apply if the request form tells the requester how long it will take to get a response. All Photocopy Requests, including those that have identity theft indicators on them, should be controlled through IDRS. All other requests such as: transcripts, IVES requests, and requests that can be rejected or completed same day are not controlled. These requirements can be found by referring to IRM 3.5.20, Income Verification Express Services (IVES) - Processing Requests for Tax Return/Return Information, and IRM 3.5.21 Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) - Processing Requests for Tax Return/Return Information owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SPB:T.

# Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) Photocopy

3.30.123.5.11 (01-01-2026) Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) Photocopy Written requests for photocopies of tax forms and tax return information are routed to the RAIVS unit. Requests come from taxpayers or their representatives, federal agencies, or third parties by mail or by fax. Exception: If Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit, is attached to the request route the request and Form 14039 to Accounts Management. If Form 14039 is received alone, route to Accounts Management. Requests for photocopies or transcripts usually come in on Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return. Since the form instructions include notification that it may take up to 75 calendar days to receive copies, they do not fall under Action 61/Policy Statement P-21-3 guidelines. However, if the request is not made on one of these forms, a 30-day interim letter is required, if the request is not filled in 30 days. Requests are sorted into various categories, put in Status "B" on IDRS, and identified with a Case Category Code acronym that is appropriate for the action. The various actions have specific aged time frames. Note: Age of a case is based on average time it takes to fill the request, rather than time RAIVS has to fill the request. Requests are sorted by Tax Return Transcripts, Copy of Tax Form, Account Information, etc., each tax period and product type requested is counted, not each request. Example: The requestor can ask for several different types of transcripts along with wage and income documents. If a requester asked for 2019, 2020, and 2021 Record of Account, Account Transcripts, and W-2s the count would be 9. The following Program Codes are reported: 790-3400X - Photocopy Requests - Aged at 75 calendar days after IRS receipt 790-8236X - SBA Disaster Program - Aged at 2 workdays after IRS receipt 790-8236X - Disaster Transcripts (Taxpayers send requests with "Disaster" written in the top margin of Form 4506-T or Form 4506-T-EZ, Short Form Request for Individual Tax Return Transcript. Requests are generally filled within 24 to 48 hours of receipt. The maximum time frame for providing this service is two (2) days.) 790-8236X - Disaster Photocopies (Requests for photocopies from disaster victims are sent to the office indicated on Form 4506 with "Disaster" in the top margin. These requests will receive Expedite processing with no charge assessed for copies.) 790-8512X - Return Transcripts - Aged at 10 workdays after IRS receipt If the request is for copies of tax returns, but payment does not cover all tax periods requested (e.g., four years requested and payment received is $79), reject for the full payment within three business days. Do not make the filer wait 30 days to be told additional money is required. Note: Beginning January 1, 2024 the fee for each return is $30.00. Income Verification Express Service (IVES) is a program within the RAIVS units of Austin, Kansas City, Memphis, and Ogden that will provide requests to participants within three business days. IVES requests must be input and completed within 65 - 72 hours after IRS receipt and is the only expedite service offered by the RAIVS function. The IVES requests are sent through the EFax Server through E-Services. This work will be reported under Program Code 790-8542X (IMF and BMF). These cases are considered aged by the beginning of the fourth business day after IRS receipt. These requirements can be found by referring to IRM 3.5.21, Return and Income Verification Express Services (RAIVS) - Processing Requests for Tax Return/Return Information, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:SPB:T.

# Special Processing Considerations for Domestic - OTFP IMF Tax Returns

3.30.123.6.1.3 (01-01-2026) Special Processing Considerations for Domestic - OTFP IMF Tax Returns To the extent possible, to avoid refund interest paid, refund tax returns are to be processed so the refund is issued to the taxpayer within 45 calendar days of the later of: The return due date (determined without regard to any extension of time for filing the return). The return received date (used when the return is filed after the return due date, determined without regard to any extension of time for filing the return). The date the return was received in processable form. Exception: An interest-free period of 180 days applies to an overpayment resulting from tax deducted and withheld under Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, see IRC 6611(e)(4). Campus management must ensure that staffing is sufficient and inventory levels are low enough going into the April peak to meet the OTFP PCD of May 20, 2026. Proper inventory production and control must be in place to ensure that in addition to the emphasis on the OTFP Refund PCD and on the OTFP Non-Refund Sort PCD, appropriate emphasis is also placed on processing approved Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, prior to processing OTFP tax returns received after the end of the April counting period. See IRM 3.30.123.6.7, Form 1040 Series Extensions - Form 4868 (AUSPC, KCSPC, OSPC Only) (Programs 44700 and 4550X) and Form 2350 (AUSPC Only) (Program 4550X) Processing Specifications.

Determine processable receipts by using the following formula for each PCD: Function 110 (Receipts) Minus Function 920 (Rejects) closing inventory Minus Function 940 (Block Deletions) cumulative receipts Minus Function 960 (Program Deletions) cumulative production Minus Receipts with TIMELYPM in the batch id Sites that choose to separate refund and non-refund returns will use the following formula, in addition to paragraph 2, to determine processable receipts for the refund PCD: Minus Function 110 (Receipts) for non-refund programs Add Function 230 cumulative production for non-refund programs Note: The following provides the data sources to be used in computing processable receipts and PCD accomplishment. Function 110 cumulative volume for each counting period receipts come from the Function Volume Report within the Production Information and Monitoring System (PIMS). Function 940 cumulative receipts and Function 960 cumulative production volumes come from the Daily Production report, PCC-22-40. Function 920 closing inventory and Function 950 cumulative volume comes from the Balance Forward Listing, PCD-03-44. Function 230 cumulative production comes from the Function Volume report within the Production Information and Monitoring System (PIMS). Note: If using Function 180 (Batching Activities) cumulative production instead of Function 110, add Function 180 closing inventory (use zero if negative), minus Functions 920, 940, 960, and Function 970 (Reinputs) cumulative production.

# Domestic FP Definition

3.30.123.6.2.1 (01-01-2014) Domestic FP Definition FP tax returns are tax returns that meet all of the following requirements: Are received ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, or Are received ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ and have a postmark on or before April 15 or the due date.

FP tax returns explicitly exclude: Delinquently filed tax returns Tax returns accompanied by a payment for an amount greater than the computed balance due Tax returns with Form 14039, attached

# Special Processing Considerations for Domestic FP IMF Tax Returns

3.30.123.6.2.2 (06-03-2019) Special Processing Considerations for Domestic FP IMF Tax Returns Since the entity section of FP tax returns may contain change information from what IRS has on file, some FP tax returns are implied entity change requests. To the extent possible, FP tax returns must be processed so that entity updates can be made to the taxpayer's account within 90 calendar days. Although OTFP tax returns take priority (to avoid paying refund interest), FP tax returns will be processed as fill in work, when possible, prior to the April peak. Exception: If a Form 14039, , is attached to a FP tax return process upon receipt, do not shelve. As campus management ensures that staffing is sufficient and OTFP inventory levels are low, going into the April peak, management must also work to reduce FP inventory levels, to the extent practical, going into the April peak. Once April Peak processing is underway, FP tax returns may be shelved until Program Completion has been accomplished for refund and no-refund sort tax returns. As those PCDs are accomplished and OTFP emphasis returns to a 10 day or lower BBTS Accomplished Cycle, FP tax return processing will resume. Similarly, care must be taken with all FP tax returns to ensure that the DLNs assigned do not contain Julian Dates 155 or higher. GMF processing contains a validity check which presumes that all domestic IMF tax returns processed with a Julian Date of 155 or higher were likely received ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. Since FP tax returns by definition are received by this date, they must not carry a transcribed IRS Received Date. Thus, if these tax returns carry a DLN with a Julian Date of 155 or higher, they will fall out to ERS.

# PCD Definition for Domestic FP IMF Returns

3.30.123.6.2.3 (01-01-2026) PCD Definition for Domestic FP IMF Returns Program Completion will be considered accomplished when the cumulative Good Tape production (Function 950) for all Domestic FP IMF Tax Return Programs are equal to or greater than 99.9 percent of the cumulative number of processable receipts received for all Domestic FP IMF Tax Return Programs received by ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, so long as that Good Tape production is reached on or before the established PCD. Determine processable receipts by using the following formula for each PCD: Function 110 (Receipts) Minus Function 920 (Rejects) closing inventory Minus Function 940 (Block Deletions) cumulative receipts Minus Function 960 (Program Deletions) cumulative production Note: The following provides the data sources to be used in computing processable receipts. Function 110 cumulative volume for each counting period receipts come from the Function Volume Report within the Production Information and Monitoring System (PIMS). Function 940 cumulative receipts and Function 960 cumulative production volumes come from the Daily Production Report, PCC-22-40 Function 920 closing inventory and Function 950 cumulative volume comes from the Balance Forward Listing, PCD-03-44. Note: If using Function 180 (Batching Activities) cumulative production instead of Function 110, add Function 180 closing inventory (use zero if negative) minus 920, 940, 960, and Function 970 (Reinputs) cumulative production. Function 970 volume comes from the Daily Production Report, PCC-22-40.

# Measuring FP - PCD Accomplishment

3.30.123.6.2.4 (05-16-2011) Measuring FP - PCD Accomplishment When evaluating the Program Completion Accomplishment for FP tax returns for the July PCD, there are no categories of tax returns excluded from the volume of processable receipts. Returns that fallout to BOBs and ERS are considered processable and must be corrected prior to PCD. BOB and Error inventory must be evaluated to determine the daily production needed to clear the inventory and meet PCD. Management at the Headquarters and Campus levels must diligently monitor the volumes of FP tax returns being processed starting in mid-April through May and June to ensure that the number of tax returns that need to be transcribed per day to accomplish Program Completion does not become unreasonably large. Similarly, Campus Management must monitor processing of Rejects to ensure timely processing and that inventories do not exceed the over aged guidelines.

3.30.123.6.3.2 (01-01-2014) Special Processing Considerations for Domestic Form 1040 Series Tax Returns Delayed for ITIN Application Processing Domestic Form 1040 Series tax returns received with Form W-7 or Form W-7(SP), , are presumed not to contain all information required for their processing, as they lack the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) which the applicant has requested. The ITIN which the applicant has requested cannot be included on the tax return until the requested ITIN has been assigned, or cannot be excluded from the tax return until the ITIN application has been rejected. Thus, the ITIN application must be processed to completion before the accompanying tax return can be considered processable. Until the application has been processed to completion, the accompanying tax return must remain with the application. Care must be taken to preserve the integrity of the IRS Received Date of the tax returns. Similarly, care must be taken to preserve the integrity of the Return Processable Date (RPD) on the accompanying tax return. Once the application has been processed to completion (and the RPD has been applied when appropriate), the accompanying tax return can be released for pipeline processing.

# Special Processing Considerations for International FP IMF Tax Returns

3.30.123.6.5.2 (01-01-2026) Special Processing Considerations for International FP IMF Tax Returns Since the entity section of Full-Paid (FP) tax returns may contain change information from what IRS has on file, some FP tax returns are implied entity change requests. To the extent possible, FP tax returns must be processed so that entity updates can be made to the taxpayer's account within 90 calendar days. Although Other Than Full-Paid (OTFP) tax returns take priority (to avoid paying refund interest), FP tax returns must be processed as fill in work, when possible, prior to the April peak. Exception: If a Form 14039, , is attached to a FP tax return process upon receipt, do not shelve. As campus management ensures that staffing is sufficient and OTFP inventory levels are low going into the April peak, you must work to reduce FP inventory levels, to the extent practical, going into the April peak. Once April Peak processing is underway, FP tax returns may be shelved until Program Completion has been accomplished for Refund and No-Refund Sort tax returns. As those PCDs are accomplished and OTFP emphasis shifts to returning to a ten day or lower BBTS Accomplished Cycle, FP tax return processing will resume.

Function 110 cumulative volume for each counting period receipts come from the Function Volume Report within the Production Information and Monitoring System (PIMS). Function 940 cumulative receipts and Function 960 cumulative production volumes come from the Daily Production Report, PCC-22-40. Function 920 closing inventory and Function 950 cumulative volume comes from the Balance Forward Listing, PCD-03-44. Note: If using Function 180 (Batching Activities) cumulative production instead of Function 110, add Function 180 closing inventory (use zero if negative), minus Functions 920, 940, 960, and Function 970 (Reinputs) cumulative production.

Returns that fallout to BOBs and ERS are considered processable and must be corrected prior to PCD. BOB and Error inventory must be evaluated to determine the daily production needed to clear the inventory and meet PCD. Management at the Headquarters and campus levels must diligently monitor the volume of FP tax returns being processed starting in mid-April through May and June to ensure that the number of tax returns that need to be transcribed per day to Accomplish Program Completion does not become unreasonably large.

# Special Processing Considerations for BMF Domestic and International Refund Tax Returns

3.30.123.7.1.1 (01-01-2018) Special Processing Considerations for BMF Domestic and International Refund Tax Returns All refund tax returns must be processed on a 6 day Expedite Cycle. To the extent possible, to avoid refund interest paid, refund tax returns are to be processed so the refund is issued to the taxpayer within 45 calendar days or the later of: The return due date (determined without regard to any extension of time for filing the return). The return received date (used when the return is filed after the return due date, determined without regard to any extension of time for filing the return). The date the return was received in processable form. Exception: An interest-free period of 180 days applies to an overpayment resulting from tax deducted and withheld under Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, see IRC 6611(e)(4). Campus management must ensure that staffing is sufficient and inventory levels are low enough going into the peak period(s) to meet the Refund PCD designated for the particular tax return. Proper inventory production and control must be in place to ensure that in addition to the emphasis on the Refund PCD, appropriate emphasis is also placed on processing approved extension forms prior to processing refund tax returns received after the end of the due date counting period. See IRM 3.30.123.7.11, PCD for Extensions Form 4768, Form 5558, Form 7004, Form 7004 MeF, Form 8868, Form 8868 MeF and Form 8892 Processing Specifications.

# Program Completion Date (PCD) Definition for BMF Domestic and International Refund Tax Returns

3.30.123.7.1.2 (01-01-2026) Program Completion Date (PCD) Definition for BMF Domestic and International Refund Tax Returns The traditional approach for measuring program completion does not apply well when processing BMF refund returns. When evaluating the PCD Accomplishment for refund returns there are no categories of tax returns excluded from the volume of batched receipts. Note: PCD accomplishment is measured corporately, however, each processing center is responsible for ensuring that they meet the PCD definition for their site, to ensure that the corporate PCD is met. By Program Number, Program Completion will be considered accomplished when all refund returns received by the ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ and batched by close of business (COB) three (3) business days prior to the established PCD have been processed to function 610. Note: Batching must be current as defined in IRM 3.30.123., Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria and Critical Dates. Data source used to determine PCD accomplishment will be a BBTS multi query.

# Program Completion Date (PCD) Definition for BMF Domestic and International Non-Refund Tax Returns

3.30.123.7.1.3 (01-01-2026) Program Completion Date (PCD) Definition for BMF Domestic and International Non-Refund Tax Returns By Program Number, Program Completion will be considered accomplished when the cumulative Good Tape (Function 950) is equal to or greater than the cumulative number of processable receipts received for that Program Number by the end of the counting period ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ unless specified differently under form type. Note: PCD accomplishment is measured corporately, however, each processing center is responsible for ensuring that they meet the PCD definition for their site, to ensure that the corporate PCD is met. Determine processable receipts by using the following formula for each PCD: Function 110 (Receipts) Minus Function 920 (Rejects) closing inventory Minus Function 940 (Block Deletions) cumulative receipts Minus Function 960 (Program Deletions) cumulative production Note: The following provides the data sources to be used in computing processable receipts and PCD accomplishment. Function 110 cumulative volume for each counting period receipts come from the Function Volume Report within the Production Information and Monitoring System (PIMS). Function 940 cumulative receipts and Function 960 cumulative production volumes come from the Daily Production Report, PCC-22-40. Function 920 closing inventory and Function 950 cumulative volume comes from the Balance Forward Listing, PCD-03-44. Note: If using Function 180 (Batching Activities) cumulative production instead of Function 110, add Function 180 closing inventory (use zero if negative) minus Function 920, 940,960, and Function 970 (Reinputs) cumulative production. Function 970 volume comes from the Daily Production Report, PCC-22-40. Each Submission Processing Center can use its Daily Production Reports (DPR), Batch Profile Report (BPR), Error Resolution System (ERS) Reports and GMF-06-40 (report of outstanding BOBs) to monitor the processing of returns. Special emphasis will be given to utilizing the SCCF Aged List and other SCCF Extracts (Extracts can be ordered by Accounting Data Control team using SCFRQ) to determine if all documents have been processed through ISRP, SCRIPS, BOBs and ERS. PCD definition for multiple forms processed under the same parent program The traditional approach for measuring program completion does not apply well when more than one form is processed under the same parent program. When evaluating the PCD Accomplishment for non-refund Form 706, Form 706-GS (D), Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Return for Distributions, Form 706-GS (T), Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Return For Terminations, Form 720(ACA and non-ACA), Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering, Form 730, Monthly Tax Return for Wagers, Form 4720, Return of Certain Excise Taxes on Charities and Other Persons Under Chapters 41 and 42 of the IRC, Form 1041-A, U.S. Information Return Trust Accumulation of Charitable Amounts, and Form 1066, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return, there are no categories of tax returns excluded from the volume of batched receipts. Since the point of comparison is Function 230 rather than Function 950, no consideration for volumes of tax returns that are in ERS or Rejects needs to be made. By Program Number, Program Completion will be considered accomplished when the cumulative volumes produced in Function 230 is equal to or greater than 100 percent of the cumulative number of receipts (Function 110) for that Program Number received by the end of the counting period ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. The data sources used to determine PCD accomplishment are the Detailed PIMS Monitoring Report for Function 110 and the Daily Production Report (PCC22-40) for Function 230. For any tax returns received within the specified counting period or delinquent filed tax returns which cannot be processed by the PCD as established within this IRM, TC 599 Closing Code (CC) 18 must be input. If the filer is a subsidiary on a consolidated Form 1120 return, input TC 590 CC 14. This includes block deletes in BOBs and Rejects. Processing procedures for block deletes and BOBs can be found by referring to IRM 3.40.37, General Instructions. Processing procedures for Rejects can be found by referring to IRM 3.12.38, BMF General Instructions. Input of a TC 599 will not aid in meeting PCD. However, TC 599 must be used to satisfy the module for non-remittance tax returns in BOBs, Rejects, and Code and Edit status to prevent erroneous tax return delinquency notices. TC 599 must be input no later than three weeks prior to the delinquency check. Due to various actions that are impacted by the processing of the actual tax return (e.g., trust fund activity) input of a TC 599 does not preclude the campus from continuing the processing of the tax return. All tax returns that were not processed prior to PCD (e.g., unlocatable BOBs, ERS unworkable suspense, etc.,) must be located and processed within 45 calendar days after PCD. Since the posting of a TC 610 will suppress delinquency notices, a TC 599 must only be input on non-remittance tax returns. If for any reason, the campus identifies an "orphan" or unprocessed block, a TC 599 CC 18, must be input three weeks prior to the delinquency check. Every effort must be made to locate these tax returns and process them within 45 calendar days after PCD. Guidelines for preparing Transmission Spreadsheet for the Weekly BMF Returns Processing Report can be found by referring to IRM 3.30.124, Campus Monitoring Reports. Timely filed current year/quarterly tax returns (other than employment tax returns) can be leveled one week prior to the due date through the PCD (e.g., Form 1120-S for tax period 202606 with a due date of September 15 can be leveled beginning one week prior to the due date on September 8). Timely filed current calendar year and all quarterly employment tax returns may be leveled two weeks prior to the due date through the PCD (e.g., Form 941 for tax period 202603, due April 30, can be leveled beginning two weeks prior to the due date on April 16). All other tax returns must stay on cycle and PCD must be met. Requests for an exception to level must be elevated to management at the Headquarters level for approval. Note: During the 2026 processing year requests for exception is not necessary for some BMF forms as processing days have already been extended. Specific guidelines can be found under each form type.

# Processing Forms on an "Expedite" Cycle

Returns received after the PCD will resume normal processing. PCD DEFINITION FOR FORM 944 SERIES TAX RETURN The traditional approach for measuring program completion does not apply well for the Form 944, Form 944 (SP), Form 944 (PR), and Form 944-SS, due to the compress processing time frame and high percentage of the returns going unpostable for mismatched filing requirements (UPC 329 RC 6). When evaluating the PCD Accomplishment for Form 944 series there are no categories of tax returns excluded from the volume of batched receipts. Since the point of comparison is Function 230 rather than Function 950, no consideration for volumes of tax returns that are in ERS or Rejects needs to be made. By Program Number, Program Completion will be considered accomplished when the cumulative volumes produced in Function 230 is equal to or greater than 100 percent of the cumulative number of receipts (Function 110) for that Program Number which are batched 5 working days prior to the established PCD.

See IRM 3.30.123.7.8.1, Form 1120 (Program 11500), Form 1120 Series F/FSC/H/L/ND/PC/REIT/RIC/SF (Program 11500), Form 1120-C (OSPC Only) (Program 11540), Form 1120-POL (OSPC Only) (Program 13170) and Form 1120-S (Program 12100) Processing Specifications. See Exhibit 3.30.123-5, Campus Program Completion Cycles. Over 50 percent of Form 1120 series are fiscal year filers. The dates given in each month are the completion dates for processable refund and non-refund tax returns with a due date the previous month. If fiscal filers are not sorted, all tax returns received by the statutory due date must be considered and processed under the PCD requirement. Any refund tax return discovered as misblocked in a non-refund batch will be rejected and renumbered immediately and processed. There are three Accelerated Cycles for refund Form 1120 series tax returns. Tax returns processed and shipped the week of these three dates will receive special accelerated (expedite) processing at ECC-MTB and the Regional Financial Centers (RFC) in order to meet the "45-calendar day interest free period." The Campus PCD Accelerated Cycles for 2026 are 202615, 202628, and 202641. However, the ECC-MTB Posting Cycles do not change. The check issue date is what is accelerated and the computation for interest changes at Master File for these cycles. Exception: An interest-free period of 180 days applies to an overpayment resulting from tax deducted and withheld under Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, see IRC 6611(e)(4). Program Completion will be considered accomplished when the cumulative Good Tape production (Function 950) is equal to or greater than the number of processable tax returns received on or before the due date of the particular month ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, so long as the Good Tape production is reached on or before the established PCD. Due to inventories in Rejects, some tax returns received after the end of the specified counting period will be included in the cumulative Good Tape production (Function 950) that were not included in the cumulative receipts (Function 110). All tax returns will be processed to maintain cycle timeliness in addition to meeting the PCD. Any non-remittance tax return which will not be processed within three weeks of the Delinquency Check must have a TC 599 CC 18 input (subsidiaries on consolidated tax returns need a TC 590 CC 14). After the appropriate TC has been input, continue processing the 1120 series tax return to suppress the delinquency notice. Note: Under no circumstances will Form 1120 tax returns be shelved. The requirements for processing Form 1120 series (excluding Form 1120-S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation) can be found by referring to IRM 3.11.16, Corporate Income Tax Returns. Requirements for processing Form 1120-S can be found by referring to IRM 3.11.217, Form 1120-S Corporation Income Tax Returns, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:RPB:BMF. Form 1120-X, Amended U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, are not processed in Submission Processing. They are routed by Receipt and Control (R&C) to Accounts Management for processing.

# Introduction

3.30.123.8.1 (01-01-2026) Introduction The purpose of these guidelines is to highlight the Information Returns Processing (IRP) procedures for the current year. All paper submissions transmitted by Form 1096 will be processed at the Austin, Kansas City and Ogden Submission Processing Centers, and Form 1094 series transmittals will be processed at the Austin and Kansas City Submission Processing Centers. There is no longer an official "Hub Test" for IRP. However, SCRIPS performs a HUB test at Ogden and Kansas City to test the Schedule K-1s along with the IRP transmittals. There is no actual "Hub Test" or start-up for IRP documents, but Information Technology (IT) will send the transmittal to the sites for testing. The start-up date will be controlled by IT analysts at both processing sites for ISRP and SCRIPS input. To ensure timely processing of all documents, IRP processing must begin immediately after IT and the campuses verify that the programs are working correctly. IT will validate the programs with Submission Processing Headquarters, who will provide the campuses with the date to begin "live" processing. Starting the processing as early as possible will assist in the leveling of the workloads and meeting PCD in a timely manner.

# Information Return Processing (IRP) Start-up Centers

3.30.123.8.2 (01-01-2026) Information Return Processing (IRP) Start-up Centers Start-up campuses have been established to do a final checkout with production data of new IRP computer programs and IRM instructions. The purpose of this action is to identify problems before processing begins in all campuses. This will result in a delay of approximately two weeks to the other campuses but will be more than compensated by reduced rerun time and resource expenditures. The start-up campuses must plan to start computer run processing as early as possible to minimize any delay for the remaining campuses. When the start-up campuses are satisfied that the series of computer runs being checked are satisfactory, they will notify the appropriate Program Analyst at TS, Submission Processing, Paper Processing Branch, Mail Management Data Conversion Section. The IRP Analyst will then notify the remaining campuses, the appropriate IT computer specialist, and related organizations. The start-up campuses will pilot all programs for the respective tax years through completion. See IRM 3.30.123.8.3, Paper Information Return Processing (IRP) Specifications, for start-up schedule.

The start-up campus only performs the testing beginning January 5, 2026 and ending on January 9, 2026. Note: ISRP transcription begins after Headquarters notifies each campus of a successfully completed start-up. This action specifically refers to testing the input system ISRP/SCRIPS and the GMF validations, not GMF 15 router run compatibilities. Note: ISRP is the backup system for SCRIPS documents. Ogden and Kansas City process the Schedules K-1 detached from Form 1041, Form 1065, , and Form 1120-S.

# Information Return Processing (IRP) Program Completion Date (PCD) Definition

3.30.123.8.3.1 (01-01-2026) Information Return Processing (IRP) Program Completion Date (PCD) Definition The PCD is set for processable IRP documents received by specific dates, including timely and delinquently filed IRP documents. Documents received by the specified date present in Error Resolution, Rejects, and Blocks Out of Balance (BOB) are included in PCD computations. Program Completion for IRP documents processed through the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) will be considered accomplished when 99 percent of the current year processable receipts are scanned and sent to the IRIS system. Determine processable receipts by using the following formula: Function 140 receipts from PCC 2240 minus unprocessable returns from the site's manual reports. The data source for the number sent to IRIS is the total output listed on the IPS 03331 report on SCRIPS. Program completion for IRP documents process by general purpose processing (GPP) will be considered accomplished when the reported output to end point is equal to or greater than 99 percent of the number of processable documents received through the end of the counting period. Since the measurement for determining IRP PCD is the comparison of function 140 processables to the output to IRIS or GPP end point, it is essential each processing site continually perfect the reporting numbers. Accurate reporting information requires a physical inventory at least once per month from January through May 31, and weekly from June through the August PCD. Complete adjustments to correct physical inventories for receipts and/or production, and inventory within one day of the actual physical count. Adjustments to inventory only are not acceptable. Caution: Ensure the cut-over inventory figure is maintained in function 140 cumulative inventory figure when performing physical inventory adjustment actions. Drop Unit Production Cards (UPCs) daily for receipt and production data. Make adjustments daily when identified. Site Planning and Analysis (P&A) Representative will provide to the HQ IRP Analyst and IRP Monitoring Analyst the total cumulative unprocessable volume present in the function 140 production each week to be tracked for PCD calculation.

# Tax Exempt Government Entities (TEGE) Photocopy (OSPC Only)

3.30.123.10.22 (01-01-2026) Tax Exempt Government Entities (TEGE) Photocopy (OSPC Only) Some exempt organization tax returns are open for public inspection. Therefore, the Service receives numerous requests from the media, taxpayers, and other foundations. In order to expedite the photocopy process, the Service images these tax returns. See IRM 3.30.123.10.19, Form 8871, Form 8453-X, Political Organization Declaration for Electronic Filing of Notice of Section 527 Status (Program 1601X) Processing Specifications, for additional information on the forms that are imaged. The Form 4506-A, Request for a Copy of Exempt of Political Organization IRS Form, (or written request if media) is sorted by "EO RAIVS Requests" - 790-34200 (all non-media requests and related research), "Media Requests" - 790-34204, "USB Requests" - 790-34205, "Senate Finance Committee" or "Congressional Cases" - 790-34206 and "Reimbursable Photocopy Fees" - 520-34000. All of these are put in Status "B" and controlled on IDRS under Category Code "EOPC" if determined complete and fillable. The point of count for this work is each tax period for copies of EO tax returns requested, rather than each request received. Requests for copies of publicly disclosable tax returns or tax forms age from the EO RAIVS received date as follows: Non-Media (EO, USB, or Reimbursable Photocopy Fees) - 25 calendar days Media (USB or Reimbursable Photocopy Fees) - 14 business days Note: If the case requires the form to be ordered from Files or suspended pending additional information, consider these cases aged at 45 days after IRS receipt. Requests made on forms which include information on the expected delivery date are not considered taxpayer correspondence and are not subject to Action 61/Policy Statement P-21-3 Guidelines. No interim letters are required, but if the case is not closed within the processing time frame indicated on the form (60 days), the taxpayer must be advised of status. For letter requests, Action 61/Policy Statement P-21-3 Guidelines do apply. Refer to IRM 21.3.3, Incoming and Outgoing Correspondence/Letters. Media Requests are handled on an Expedite basis, fill within 14 business days of the EO RAIVS received date. On the tenth business day determine if the request will be filled timely. If the request will not be filled and closed by the fourteenth business day contact the Field Media Specialist informing them of the delay and provide the date the request will be filled and closed. If there is any question about what the request is for, or if the request was made by telephone, contact will be made with the Field Media Specialist for contact to the media requester. If missing information is not provided by the Field Media Specialist within five workdays, no additional follow-up will be made. On the sixth workday the request will be rejected back to the requester. Requests for USBs may be for a complete set, or for individual state tax return(s). Requests will be sent to the Exempt Organization Request and Income Verification Services (EO RAIVS) Unit on a Form 4506-A with the required user fee. If the fee and request are complete, the information on the request is logged into the Statistics of Income EO Image Net (SEIN) system for Data Management Division (DMD) to fill. DMD will mail the package directly to the requester. These requirements can be found by referring to IRM 3.20.13, Exempt Organizations Photocopy Procedures, owned by SE:T:BSP:SPP.

# Processing Timeliness Criteria for Non-Master File (KCSPC Only)

3.30.123.11 (01-01-2026) Processing Timeliness Criteria for Non-Master File (KCSPC Only) The maximum processing cycles are the day of receipt to completion of journalization, posting to the Automated Non-Master File database, and notice issuance inclusively. A minimum of ten workdays before the 23C date must be provided for completion of accounting and billing operations. The preliminary batching and document examination operations must, therefore, be scheduled for completion not less than ten workdays prior to the end of the processing cycle period, 23C date, or prior to the PCD. A maximum cycle of six workdays means from the date Form 2424 and Form 3809 are received by the campus for processing until posting. Form 2158 has a maximum processing cycle of six workdays from the date received in Accounting. The manager will sign the voucher and apply the signature date. Send documents and Form 2158 by express mail to the Kansas City Submission Processing Center. Form 514-B has a maximum processing cycle of six workdays. Date and mail all first notices to conform to the date of 23C assessment as of the actual date of mailing. Notice issuance for routine assessments will follow a regular schedule after the first notice. Taxpayer delinquent account issuances will uniformly be 24 weeks subsequent to the first notice date. Campuses will schedule processing of current year delinquent tax returns in sufficient time for the required updating of the appropriate files prior to the prescribed delinquency check, returns mailing and index output production. A maximum cycle of 20 calendar days from the date the document is prepared is prescribed for the processing of NMF Adjustments. Exception: Form 1331 and Form 1331-B have a maximum processing cycle of six workdays from receipt in Accounting. NMF taxpayer-generated correspondence must be acknowledged, if not closed, within 15 calendar days. Final reply on acknowledged correspondence must be within 45 calendar days of receipts, if possible. NMF processing will be on the same cyclical basis as for BMF and IMF to prevent distortion on the Weekly Terminal Report (Report Symbol NO-5000-224). This will also prevent the needless appearance of certain transactions on the IDRS Daily Transaction Register. NMF tax returns required by Examination personnel for classification purposes at the campus will be made available to Examination within 30 calendar days of the PCD listed for the specific tax return. The requirements for procedures and automated NMF can be found by referring to IRM 3.17.46, Automated Non-Master File Accounting, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:ATP:AD and IRM 3.17.21, Credit and Account Transfers, owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:ATP:AD.

# Processing Timeliness Criteria for Electronic Filing (e-file)

The general requirements for filing Business and Individual electronic tax returns are found in Publication Pub 4164, Modernized e-File (MeF) Guide for Software Developers and Transmitters and is owned by C;DC:TS:CAS:SP:EFS:BOM:ETE. Specific requirements for e-filing Individual tax returns are in Publication Pub 1345, Handbook for Authorized IRS e-file Providers of Individual Income Tax Returns which is owned by SE:W:CAS:EPSS:OS:EPP and IRM 3.42.5, IRS e-file of Individual Income Tax Returns, which is owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:EFS:IOM. Specific requirements for e-filing Business tax returns are found in Pub 4163, Modernized e-File (MeF) Information for Authorized IRS e-file Providers for Business Returns, and IRM 3.42.4, IRS e-file for Business Tax Returns, which are owned by C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:EFS:BOM;ETE. These documents must be used in conjunction with other IRMs and Publications to answer and resolve e-file questions and issues.

# IRS e-file Suitability for Providers

3.30.123.12.1 (01-01-2026) IRS e-file Suitability for Providers Processing of the e-file application, Form 8633, Application to Participate in the IRS e-file Program, through the External Customer Data Store (ECDS) must be completed within 45 days from the receipt of the application, including any supporting documentation. Suitability checks on new applicants to be Providers, etc., must be completed by Andover Campus within 45 calendar days from the processable application date on the IRS e-file Application, Form 8633, through the External Customer Data Store (ECDS). On new applications where a suitability issue arises, if an appeal is received and the IRS Independent Office of Appeals has not completed its review by October 1 each year, the Provider will be allowed to remain a Provider through the prescribed deadline for timely filing of Form 1040 by April 15 (unless this date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which case the date is the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday). This does not include additional time as a result of any extensions filed. For additional information see Holiday or Weekend Impact, IRM 3.30.123.2.2. Continuous suitability checks take place for applicants already accepted into IRS e-file. These checks are conducted from IRS records only. On existing applications where a suitability issue arises, if an appeal is received and the IRS Independent Office of Appeals has not completed its review by October 1, the Provider will be allowed to remain as a Provider through the prescribed deadline for timely filing Form 1040, as outlined in (2).

# Electronic Postmark and Tax Return Due Date

3.30.123.12.2 (01-01-2026) Electronic Postmark and Tax Return Due Date The paper portion of an electronically filed tax return may consist of paper Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return, and other required paper documents that cannot be electronically transmitted. Required paper documents must be mailed to IRS attached to the Form 8453. An electronically filed tax return is not considered filed until the electronic portion of the tax return has been acknowledged by the IRS as accepted for processing and the electronic Personal Identification Number (PIN) signature(s) for the tax return have been received. A Transmitter provides an electronic postmark to taxpayers that file Individual Income Tax Returns and Extension of Time to File Individual Income Tax Returns, through an Electronic Return Originator (ERO) or through online filing. The Transmitter creates the electronic postmark bearing the date and time (in the Transmitters time zone) that the tax return is received at the Transmitters host computer. The taxpayer must adjust the electronic postmark to the time zone where the ERO is located or where the taxpayer resides in the case of online filing to determine the postmarks actual time. For example, if the Transmitter provides an electronic postmark with time in the Pacific Time Zone but the taxpayer resides in the Eastern Time Zone, the taxpayer must add 3 hours to the postmark time to determine the actual postmark time (Eastern Time Zone). All tax returns and extensions that received an electronic postmark are transmitted to the IRS within two days of receipt from the ERO, or from the taxpayer in the case of online filing. If the electronic portion of a tax return is transmitted on or shortly before the due date and is ultimately rejected, but the Provider and the taxpayer comply with the requirements for timely re-submission of a correct tax return, the tax return will be considered timely filed. If the taxpayer chooses not to have the electronic portion of the business tax return corrected and transmitted to the IRS or if it cannot be accepted for processing by the IRS, the taxpayer must file a paper tax return. To be considered timely filed, the paper return must be postmarked by the later of the due date of the return, including extensions, or ten (10) calendar days after the date the IRS last gives notification the return was rejected as long as: The first transmission was made on or before the due date of the return (including extensions) and; The last transmission was made within ten (10) calendar days of the first transmission. The paper tax return must also include the following: An explanation of why the paper return is being filed after the due date A copy of the reject notification A brief history of actions taken to correct the electronic return The taxpayer must write in red at the top of the first page of the paper return "REJECTED ELECTRONIC RETURN - (DATE)" Note: The date will be the date of the first rejection within the ten (10) day transmission perfection time frame. The paper return must be signed by the taxpayer Note: The PIN that was used on the electronically filed return that was rejected may not be used as the signature on the paper return. For more information see Pub 4163 and Pub 4164. If the electronic postmark is on or before the prescribed deadline for filing but the tax return is received by the IRS after the prescribed deadline for filing, the tax return will be treated as filed on the electronic postmarks date. In order for a tax return to be treated as filed on the electronic postmarks date, all requirements for signing the tax return and completing a paper declaration must be met. If the electronic postmark is after the prescribed deadline for filing, the IRS actual receipt date, not the date of the electronic postmark will be the filing date. If a tax return is rejected, a corrected tax return must be filed in accordance with the rules for timely filing corrected tax returns after rejection of an electronic tax return. The transmitter retains the original electronic postmark of the rejected tax return for a corrected tax return that is received by the Transmitter through the last date for retransmitting rejected tax returns and creates a new postmark for all tax returns, including corrected tax returns received after the last date for retransmitting tax returns. All corrected tax returns retaining an electronic postmark of a date through the prescribed last day of filing must be transmitted to the IRS within two days of the date the tax return was received by the transmitter or the 22nd day of the respective month of the prescribed due date, whichever is earlier. Refer to the schedule below for IMF e-file transmission dates. Action Date First day to transmit IMF tax returns To be announced Last day for transmitting timely filed Tax Returns Form 4868 Form 2350 April 15 Retransmitting rejected timely filed Tax Return Form 4868 Form 2350 April 20 Transmitting timely filed Form 4868 or Form 2350 meeting overseas exception June 15 Transmitting tax returns on extension from Form 4868 October 15 Retransmitting rejected late tax returns or tax returns on extension from Form 4868 October 20 Transmitting test transmissions No cutoff date Submitting IRS e-file applications No cutoff date Note: April 15, June 15, and October 15 are all statutory due dates, see Holiday or Weekend Impact, IRM 3.30.123.2.2 Organization Function Program (OFP) codes for employees working on e-help projects. Refer to IRM Exhibit 3.42.7-1, Organization, Function, and Program (OFP) Codes (Phones and e-mail) and IRM Exhibit 3.42.7-2, E-help Organization, Function, and Program (OFP) Codes (Paper), which are used to report time on Form 3081, Employee Time Report.

# Instructions for Field Exam Payments of $100,000 or More

3.30.123.20.2 (01-01-2026) Instructions for Field Exam Payments of $100,000 or More When remittances exceeding $100,000 are received, managers have a responsibility to determine what steps or what locations must be used to expedite the deposit of those remittances. Employee Responsibilities: Employees must immediately notify their manager upon receipt of a remittance of $100,000 or more. Payments should be sent on the day of receipt via overnight traceable mail. Convert any cash to a money order before mailing. Manager Responsibilities: Determine what steps need to be taken to ensure timely deposit. Such measures include, but are not limited to, the following: Express Mail, to ensure next day delivery, refer to IRM 1.22.2, United States Postal Service (USPS) Classes of Mail, USPS Additional Services and Small Package Carrier (SPC) Services. Private Delivery Service, within 300 miles Hand-carry remittance to teller by car or plane for emergency situations (e.g., $100 million or more, or if within 100 miles of remittance processor) Determine which one of the above measures is most cost-effective. Note: The cost of transporting the remittance should be commensurate with the interest to be gained by expeditious deposit. For example, the estimated value of interest on funds of $100 million is about $16,000 daily based on the fourth quarter rates for 2022. The location identified as being the most expeditious may not be the teller unit in the aligned servicing campus. Alert the Submission Processing Field Office Payment Processing Liaison by phone (remittance processor) in advance of receipt of a remittance of $1,000,000 or more.

Revised ECC-DET data files Schedule-Analysis may be required for any period covered. These files are input to portions of Project 553 processing at ECC-DET. Period Covered Label Final Campus Shipping Date July - September 2026 ZNV-202626 Rev. July-September Schedule Transmit Data by 06/23/2026 October - December 2026 ZNV-202639 Rev. October-December Schedules Transmit Data by 09/22/2026 January - June 2027 ZNV-202651 Rev. January-June Schedules Transmit Data by 12/15/2026 Project PCC (files PCC 7002) performance and Cost Tapes-Weekly unabridged tape output of computing center run PCC data files will be to ECC-DET on the day they are created (by Wednesday of each week). One transmission is to be made for each Saturday date of the year. Special Transmission processing will be done at the end of each quarter (January-June, July-September, and October-December) when the quarter ends on Monday-Thursday. Quarterly tapes are output from PCC70Q. (See item 5 below.) If the quarter ends on Friday or Sunday, the normal weekly data file will suffice. Project PCC weekly data files and Project PCC quarterly data files will be prepared and transmitted in the following manner: The filename will be PCC 7002. This is done automatically by run PCC 70. When these data files are created at the computing center, the computing center will call ECC-DET Scheduling Branch at 313-234-1004 and inform them that a file is ready to be transmitted. The computing center gives ECC-DET scheduling Branch the Project Name (OP500), the file name (please let them know if it is a replacement), the week ending date and if it is tape or disk. After receiving file information from the computing center, an ECC-DET Scheduler will log on the system and NDM the data file. The cycle designation should be: "Cycle ZNW 20YYXX." Project PCC (File PCC 7002) Performance and Cost Data Files which reflect totals for (a) six-month period, January-June; (b) three-month period, July-September; and (c) three month period, October-December are to be transmitted timely to ECC-DET for input to projects 540, 553, and 563 processing. Normally, the weekly PCC Data Files can be used. However, if June 30, September 30, or December 31 falls on Monday-Thursday, a special period ending tape for that complete period must be created (in addition to the weekly tape). Quarterly Data Files are output from PCC70Q. Quarter-Ending Data Files should be processed for transmission via CONNECT: Direct as in (2) above, except that: The campus should notify ECC-DET Scheduling Branch that the data file to be transmitted is a Quarter-Ending data file. The cycle designation should be changed to "Cycle ZNK 20YYXX. " Performance and Cost Tapes are produced on a weekly basis at each campus, with an additional close-out tape at the end of each "quarter" if necessitated by the requirements stated above. All tapes are shipped to ECC-MTB. Weekly tape input is merged to a single work tape which is summarized and edited and sorted in OFP and PFO sequences. Output tapes designated as 563-36-12, 563-42-11 and 563-49-11 are shipped to National Headquarters according to the instructions contained in the schematic in CPB-1 Project 563. Two copies of file 563-42-11 and file 563-49-11 are sent to the two computing centers for their use. In addition, a fiscal year and calendar year OFP Analysis Report is produced. No additional campus input will be required for these runs. File 563-59-11 will be shipped to National Headquarters, and two copies of that file will be shipped to the two computing centers for their use. Only the requirement of assisting the campus in preparing the PCB9011 and transmittal to ECC-DET (1), is a function of C:DC:TS:CAS:SP:PM:R. The remaining items dealing with the loading of tapes and weekly PCC runs belongs to Information Technology (IT).

A principle period of maintenance (PPM) is reserved for ECC-MTB Production SACS transmittal activation on Thursdays between 0500 and 0600 hours (Eastern Time). The maintenance window is dependent upon the extent of the changes to be implemented. Corporate Files On Line (CFOL) availability will be 24/7. Any maintenance that would impact ECC-MTB CFOL availability must be scheduled through an ECC-MTB Change Request, receive technical review, and receive ECC-MTB Change Control Board (CCB) approval. After CCB approval, an Info Alert will be issued with details regarding CFOL availability. Users will be given advance notice before CFOL is taken down for scheduled maintenance. Info Alerts will also be issued for any unscheduled ECC-MTB CFOL outages. When maintenance is scheduled, users may experience a brief interruption to CFOL when Customer Information Control System (CICS) regions are transferred between ECC-MTB systems. ECC-MTB performs annual power outages for preventative maintenance on Labor Day and Columbus Day. All systems, CFOL, and databases at ECC-MTB are unavailable. Users are notified in advance of power outages. ECC-MTB runs daily maintenance from 0600-0700 hours (Eastern Time). During this time, users to CFOL may encounter a locked account. This will only be temporary and the user should try again in five minutes. Also, ECC-MTB runs daily image copies (backups of all databases) with minimal impact to users. If a reorganization of files is required, users could experience locked files and they should try again later. If a database file needs to be recovered to an earlier point in time, an Info Alert will inform the field of the cause and when they can expect to have the file back up for processing.

# Processing Timeliness Criteria for CADE 2

3.30.123.24 (01-01-2026) Processing Timeliness Criteria for CADE 2 This subsection provides explanation of the deployment of CADE 2 components and includes global guidance when specific IRM instructions are not provided. Specific functional impact will be addressed in the appropriate functions IRMs. The CADE 2 Program Office in Headquarters is charged with the primary goal to implement a single, modernized programming solution which provides daily processing of taxpayer accounts. The modernized programming solution involves migrating from existing flat file environment (one record data identified by the position in the record) to a database table driven environment (data stored in specific fields). The CADE 2 solution is comprised of several components to modernize the IRS to a daily processing environment with several Transition States. In Transition State 1, IRS will establish a single taxpayer account database that will house all individual taxpayer accounts. IMF processing will be enhanced to include daily batch processing. The CADE 2 database will be the source for key IRS customer service operational database (IDRS) to provide the benefit of more timely posted data. The CADE 2 database will also become the source to populate the IPM analytical data store, providing business users with tools to more effectively use the data for compliance and customer service. In Transition State 2, high priority downstream service and compliance applications will be modified to take advantage of the new database. The CADE 2 program will make some progress addressing the financial material weaknesses. In Transition State 2, a combination of current-state IMF programs and newly developed transitional components in modernized programming language may be used to fill the functional needs of individual taxpayer account processing. The Target State completes the transition to the target-state applications (all IMF programs rewritten in a modernized programming language) and database providing a complete data-centric (database, table driven) solution retiring all transitional components and addressing all financial and security material weaknesses identified at the conception of the PMO. Note: This version of the IRM only provides information related to the Transition State 1 which was deployed in January 2012. Additional information on Transition State 2 and the Target State phases will be provided in the later revisions of the IRM when the solutions are implemented. The components of CADE 2 Transition State 1 include: Accelerated IMF - All individual taxpayers account transactions being processed weekly by IMF (on Thursday) with new cycle definitions and accelerated refund and notice issuance. New Cycles Campus Cycle - Thursday through Wednesday Master File Processing - Friday through Thursday Notice Review - Saturday through Monday (8+ days) Unpostables - New available Tuesday, Closing Tuesday Note: New cycles are not limited to IMF. BMF sites will also have the new campus cycle; BMF and EPMF will process weekly on Thursday. Notice Review and Unpostables in the BMF sites will also have a new cycle. The CADE master file, as it existed from 2004-2011, will transition from Production and be retried at the end of 201152. Refunds for IMF accounts will be accelerated to provide refunds to taxpayers quicker. Direct deposit refunds will be issued in four business days from posting. Paper check refunds will be issued in six business days from posting. IMF notices under a tolerance will bypass Notice Review Processing System (NRPS) and will be sent directly to Correspondence Processing System (CPS). Daily Processing IMF processing with the new cycle definition outlined above, but processing daily (daily transactions to daily accounts) with weekly processing occurring on Thursday. Note: BMF and EPMF will continue to process weekly on Thursdays. IMF notices under a tolerance will bypass NRPS and will be sent directly to CPS daily. IMF will identify unpostable criteria daily, but the files will not be processed by GUF until the weekly cycle. This may result in subsequent transactions posting in the same cycle that could resolve the unpostable criteria for the earlier transaction marked as unpostable. CADE 2 database Establish the taxpayer account database that will house all individual taxpayer accounts. IMF will process all transactions, settle accounts and will provide data to the CADE 2 database. IMF will remain the system of record for Transition State 1. Key programs IDRS and IPM will receive data from the CADE 2 database. Individual taxpayer accounts will be analyzed three times a year (before Cycle 1, after Cycle 13 and after Cycle 24) to determine whether the account at that point in time meets criteria to be marked as a daily account. Account conditions that prevent accounts from being marked daily are conditions such as (list is not all inclusive): ITIN Accounts Foreign Addresses Campus Addresses Identity Theft Indicators Prisoner File Related MFT 31 Account (e.g., Bankruptcy, Offer-in-Compromise, Installment Agreements, Innocent Spouse) Criminal Investigation Activity Civil Penalty Account (MFT 55) Tax Module History (two years prior) with CI, Exam or Collection Activity Incoming weekly transactions directed to an account that is marked as Daily will result in the account changing from Daily to Weekly when the transaction posts. Subsequent transactions directed to an account that has changed from Daily to Weekly will be processed with the weekly processing run on Thursday. TXMOD and IMFOL command codes will contain indicators on the screen to identify whether the account is a Daily account or a Weekly account. IMF transactions posting time frames are outlined as follows: Daily transactions directed to a daily account are expected to post daily with daily processing. Transactions will be viewable using CFOL command codes the second day after campus input. Transactions will be viewable on IDRS command codes the third day after campus input. Weekly transactions directed to a daily account are expected to post with the weekly processing run on Thursday and may result in the account type changing to Weekly. Daily and Weekly transactions directed to a Weekly account are expected to post with the weekly processing on Thursday. Note: For items b) and c), transactions will be viewable using CFOL command codes on the Saturday following the Thursday processing run. Transactions will be viewable on IDRS command codes Monday following the Thursday processing run. Use of the Posting Delay Code on transactions will result in the transaction being held until the weekly processing on Thursday. When the transaction is processed on Thursday and the Posting Delay Code contains a value other than zero, the transaction will continue to re-sequence for the number of cycles equal to the value. Example: A transaction input with a Posting Delay Code of 1 will be processed on Thursday and will re-sequence until the following weekly processing day (the following Thursday) Use of the Posting Delay Code on a daily account with daily transactions may result in delaying the posting of the transactions that would resolve the account. BMF transaction posting time frames are outlined as follows: Transactions will be viewable using CFOL command codes on Saturday following the weekly master file processing run on Thursday. Transactions will be viewable as posted transactions using IDRS command codes on Monday following the weekly master file processing run on Thursday. Note: With the acceleration of the weekly analysis being performed the weekend directly after the master file processing on Thursday, transactions will be posted instead of in pending status on Monday. With accelerated refund processing there are conditions (outlined below) under which accounts will not reflect the refund transaction (TC 846) upon settlement of the account. IMF will systemically prevent the refund transaction from generating. IMF will systemically generate the refund transaction (TC 846) when the refund hold expires. A refund hold will be applied when through master file processing of the account, the account meets Priority Refund Transcript criteria (Refund, Refund-E, Refund-S, $1M and $10M). The accounts will reflect a TC 971 AC 805 and a TC 570 with blocking series "55555" indicating the refund hold has been applied. The hold will systemically expire four business days after the TC 971 AC 805 cycle posting date. A refund hold will be applied when through master file processing of the account, the account meets criteria to issue CP 12, Overpaid Math Error - Refund Due, CP 21A, Data Processing Adjustment Notice, Balance Due, (if the refund amount is $100,000 or greater) or CP 24, Estimated Tax Credits Discrepancy - We Changed Your Return to Match Your Credit or Payments Posted to Your Account - You May Have a Credit or Overpayment. These accounts will be processed during the weekly processing on Thursday. The accounts will reflect a TC 971 AC 804 and a TC 570 with blocking series "55555" indicating the refund hold has been applied. The hold will systemically expire seven calendar days after the TC 971 AC 804 cycle posting date. Due to the accelerated refund processing, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) will no longer accept NOREF or HAL requests for IMF refunds. Functions that are impacted by the refund holds outlined above in (9) will have specific guidelines to address accounts that have the systemic holds instead of using NOREF as Submission Processing has known it pre-January 2012. For functions that do not have specific requirements in place to place holds on inventory, the following guidelines are provided for IMF accounts: Note: BMF is not changing to daily processing or accelerating refund schedule issuance. BMF accounts can continue to use NOREF per existing guidelines. IF AND THEN The account has a TC 846 posted, A NOREF or HAL request cannot be initiated on an IMF account. Erroneous refund procedures should be followed. The account has a TC 570 with blocking series "55555" , A TC 971 AC 805 is also posted on the module indicating a refund transcript has generated, 1. A TC 570 can be input up to three business days after the systemically generated TC 570 cycle posted date (up to 6 PM local time) to prevent the refund transaction from generating. 2. A NOREFP can be input on the third business day after 6 PM local or the fourth business day before 9 PM Eastern Friday-Wednesday (10 PM Eastern on Thursday) from the systemically generated TC 570 cycle posted date to request IMF reverse the refund and stop the refund information from going to FMS. The account has a TC 570 with blocking series "55555" , A TC 971 AC 804 is also posted on the module indicating a CP 12, CP 21 (if the refund amount is $100,000 or greater) or CP 24 has been issued, 1. A TC 570 can be input up through 6 PM local the following Wednesday (six calendar days after the systemically generated TC 570 cycle posted date to prevent the refund transaction from generating. 2. A NOREFP can be input on the Wednesday after 6 PM local or Thursday before 9 PM Eastern Friday-Wednesday (10 PM Eastern on Thursday) to request IMF reverse the refund and stop the refund information from going to BFS. Quality Review is not impacted by CADE 2 daily processing and will operate as it has been pre-January 2012. If the Quality Review command codes have been executed input to hold on and employee's work, the hold will prevent any transactions from being forwarded to the Computing Center for master file processing allowing the review period for the site. PCDs have been adjusted in this IRM to ensure program dates are met on the new cycle end day of Wednesday.
