Background
4.19.8.1.1 (09-20-2017) Background The purpose of the IRS-CAWR program is to ensure that employers paid and reported the proper amount of taxes and federal withholding. This is done by comparing the Forms W-3/W-2/W-3C/W-2C totals and the Form 1099-R and Form W-2G withholding amounts to the amounts reported on the Forms 94X (Forms 941, 943, 944, 945, Schedule H (Forms 1040/1041)) employment tax returns. The purpose of the Social Security Administration-CAWR (SSA-CAWR) program is: To obtain Forms W-3/W-2 from the employer and forward them to SSA to ensure employees receive proper credit for their earnings. To assess the employers applicable penalties for not following the established rules of filing Forms W-3/W-2. When referring to IRS-CAWR cases, the reference will be IRS-CAWR. When referring to Social Security Administration CAWR cases, the reference will be SSA-CAWR. When an instruction indicates CAWR, it is referring to all case types and SSA IND (Indicator) types. The CAP system is used for the reconciliation of IRS-CAWR and SSA-CAWR tax cases. This IRM provides instructions to clerical and technical staff for using the CAP system which consists of various screens and windows. Cases selected for the CAWR program are worked by tax examiners who perform an in-depth analysis of each case to resolve tax cases.
