# Roles and Responsibilities

5.19.10.1.3 (10-10-2023) Roles and Responsibilities The Operations Manager is responsible for timely closures of all programs under their authority. The team manager is responsible for monitoring timely closure of transcripts and listings received in the area, and updating the Operations Manager of any discrepancies. The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (IRS RRA 98), Section 3705(a), provides identification requirements for all IRS employees working tax related matters. In June of 2014 the IRS adopted the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR) therefore, consider these rights in every interaction you have with taxpayers, and embrace them as part of your work life every day. Even if you don't work directly with the public, you support the overall mission of the IRS and it's important to know these rights and how they apply. When we respect taxpayer rights, it's good for tax administration, good for voluntary compliance with the tax law and most importantly, good for taxpayers. Additional information may be found on the IRS website at: www.irs.gov/taxpayer-bill-of-rights The Internal Revenue Code provides taxpayers specific rights. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights groups these rights into 10 fundamental rights. See IRC 7803(a)(3). The Commissioner shall ensure that IRS employees are familiar with and act in accord with these rights. IRC 7803(a)(3). For additional information, refer to IRM 1.2.1.2.36, Policy Statement 1-236, Fairness and Integrity in Enforcement Selection, and the TBOR at Taxpayer Bill of Rights | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)

Currently, the mandate is limited to the following tools: Manual Refund Tool Erroneous Manual Refund Tool (EMT) Credit Transfer Letters Tool REQ54 Tool Note: For User Guides, see the IAT web site at IAT Job Aids. If an IAT tool is not available, or an employee has a problem with the IAT Task Manager, the case should be processed through IDRS, without using the tool, by following established procedures. See the IAT Website for how to report/fix problems with IAT tools. Note: CC RFUND can only be input via the IAT tool.

# Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)

5.19.10.2 (04-20-2022) Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the IRS whose employees assist taxpayers who are experiencing a hardship situation, who are 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. Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria and the taxpayer's issue can't be resolved same day (within 24 hours). See IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria. 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 issues. Do not refer same day cases to TAS unless the taxpayer asks to be transferred, and the case meets TAS criteria. Refer to IRM 13.1.7.6, Same Day Resolution by Operations. When you refer cases to TAS, use Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (and Application for Taxpayer Assistance Order), and forward to TAS. Advise the taxpayer of the name, phone number, and unique identification number of the employee who resolved the problem. Provide the National Taxpayer Advocate (NTA) toll-free number, 877-777-4778 (TTY/TDD 800-829-4059), and advise the taxpayer TAS is available if the resolution is not satisfactory. When referring taxpayer accounts to TAS for action, or when a taxpayer requests general information about the Taxpayer Advocate Service, provide (or order) a copy of Pub 1546-EZ, Taxpayer Advocate Service - We are Here to Help You. This publication provides an easy reference guide to TAS criteria and contact information nationwide.

# Credit Offsets

5.19.10.3 (04-20-2022) Credit Offsets The IAT tools as listed in IRM 5.19.10.1.7, Related Resources, must be used by Campus Compliance employees for procedures outlined in this IRM. When an action must be taken and an IAT tool is available, Campus Compliance employees with access to the tool are required to use it to complete the action. Note: If an IAT tool is not functioning properly or it is determined not to be appropriate due to a specific situation, the case should be worked without the tool, using IDRS. For more information on each tool as well as a job aid for each tool see the IAT Website. If a determination is made that an overpayment on an account should be applied to another account or liability and a systemic offset will not happen, request the input of TC 130.

# Use of Credit Offset

5.19.10.3.1 (04-24-2026) Use of Credit Offset TC 130 is an entity transaction on Command Code (CC) ENMOD and will display the cross reference information and the campus (literal = SC>) that input the freeze. I.R.C. 6402(c) through (f) requires overpayment credits to be applied against delinquent child support obligations, non-tax debt owed to other Federal agencies, state income tax obligations and unemployment compensation debt through the Treasury Offset Program (TOP). TOP TC 130s are systemically engaged and released by the agencies requesting these freezes. Refer to IRM 21.4.6, Refund Offset. If a credit of ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ or more becomes available and TC 130 is present, a CP 44 (IMF) is generated to the Atlanta campus and a CP 188 is generated to the Philadelphia campus. On CC TXMOD the presence of a TC 130 can be identified by freeze code V−.

# Request Input of TC 130

5.19.10.3.2 (04-20-2022) Request Input of TC 130 Requests for input of TC 130 may be received on the following: Form 3177, Notice of Action for Entry on Master File Form 4442, Inquiry Referral Form 53, Report of Currently Not Collectible Taxes The above forms, initiated by the field, should be processed through Centralized Case Processing (CCP) in Philadelphia. All other functions route the above forms to Atlanta CSCO for IMF accounts and Philadelphia CSCO for BMF accounts. Examine the request to ensure that the following information is given for each debit (balance due) account: Tax form number Tax period Taxpayer's name (name of each taxpayer responsible for any joint liability) Taxpayer identification number (including cross referenced liabilities) If the information is incorrect or incomplete, you must contact the originator to secure the correct information or return the request for completion. See IRM 5.19.10.3.3, Input of TC 130 on IMF Entity for Credit Offset and IRM 5.19.10.3.4, Input of TC 130 on BMF Entity for Credit Offset, to determine when a TC 130 is appropriate.

# Research Prior to Transfer of Credits

5.19.10.3.13 (04-24-2026) Research Prior to Transfer of Credits Research AMS history for any cross reference and balance due information provided by a previous employee. Exercise caution if you are considering transferring an overpayment credit to another account to offset an outstanding tax liability. IRC 6402(a), Authority To Make Credits or Refunds, allows an offset against any liability in respect of an internal revenue tax on the part of the person who made the overpayment. A credit from an entity with an individual filing requirement cannot be offset to an entity that has no individual filing requirements. Example: Do not apply credits on Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return to debits on Form 1120, U. S. Corporation Income Tax Return, Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, and Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, series without written authorization from the taxpayer. The reverse is also true. Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code, IRC 6402(a), Authority To Make Credits or Refunds, the entire credit on a joint return may be tentatively applied to one spouse's balance due if no statement is received from the taxpayer on the allocation of the credits: Transfer credit per IRM 5.19.10.3.14, Transfer of Credits. Send Letter 678-C, Refund/Overpayment Applied Elsewhere, to the non-liable spouse. If the cross reference TIN module has a posted TC 608, the collection statute expiration date (CSED) has expired and the balance will be ".00" . Credits cannot be transferred to a module where all CSEDs are expired. This is true even if the payment date or posting cycle of the credit is prior to the statute expiration date. Exception: See IRM 5.19.10.4, Exception, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) Verification and Correction, regarding "fixed and determined" levies served prior to the CSED and IRM 5.19.10.5.1(6), If/Then chart, General Procedures for All Transcripts. If the credit cannot be legally offset, input TC 131 to release it. Prior to moving your credit, look for a Large/Corporation case indicator. If the indicator is present, contact the Large Corp Unit per IRM 21.7.1.4.11.4, Campus Contacts for Large Corp Cases. See IRM 21.7.1.4.11, Large Corp Unit, for Large Corp State Mapping. If the cross reference TIN input with the TC 130 is an EIN or additional cross reference EINs are identified, research CC BMFOLE. See Document 6209, IRS Processing Codes & Information, Section 8A - 6, Filing Requirement Codes (FR Codes): If... Then... An LLC or TFRP is involved See the table below. Filing Requirements on CC BMFOLE are: Form 1120 , U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, and series Overpayments from Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return cannot be applied. If taxpayer has no other liabilities, input TC 131. The overpayment is on a Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return and taxpayer has a Sole Proprietorship (income is reported on Schedule C), taxpayer may have filing requirements and owe under: Form 94X family of employment tax returns Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return Overpayments from Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return can be applied. If the credit full pays the balances owed and taxpayer has no other liabilities, input TC 131. Sole Proprietorships do not have filing requirements for the tax forms below. If there are open filing requirements for these forms: Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax Other annual business returns Overpayments from Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return cannot be applied. If taxpayer has no other liabilities, input TC 131. The following table provides procedures on how to process accounts with certain conditions when they appear on the cross reference module. See IRM 5.19.10.3.12, Generation of CP 44 and CP 188, for other conditions not addressed here. If... Then... Cross reference module is for Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts (MFT 05) Current status code is 14 Taxpayer is making quarterly payments, and There are no other debit modules Input TC 131. Taxpayer was granted installment privileges to make quarterly payments. For BMF cases, Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax "Return" Refer to IRM 21.7.1.4.4.4, Excise Taxes, for instructions. Cross reference TIN input with the TC 130 is an EIN and/or Positions 9 and 10 of the TC 130 DLN is 21 (TFRP). See IRM 5.19.10.3.13.1, Transfer of Credits to LLCs or IRM 5.19.10.3.13.2, Transfer of Credits and TFRP. Cross reference TIN input with the TC 130 is an EIN and neither LLC or TFRP is involved.

# Transfer of Credits to LLCs

5.19.10.3.13.1 (09-13-2022) Transfer of Credits to LLCs If the cross reference balance due module is a Limited Liability Company (LLC), do not automatically offset the credit until you have completed research of AMS per IRM 5.19.10.3.13.2, Transfer of Credits and TFRP. If the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty history is present in AMS, follow the research steps in that section to determine if TC 131 is appropriate. See IRM 5.1.12.21.1.4.1, Limited Liability Company Offset, for more information on offsets. See IRM 5.1.21, Collecting from Limited Liability Companies, for general information on LLCs. A limited liability company (LLC) is an entity created under state law that has characteristics of both a partnership and a corporation. It is similar to a: Corporation in that the owners have limited personal liability for negligent acts and LLC debts Partnership in that it provides management flexibility and may provide the benefit of pass-through taxation of income An LLC with one owner is a single member entity. An LLC with more than one owner is a multi-member entity. The treatment of an LLC for tax purposes may depend in part on whether the LLC is a single member entity or a multi-member entity. TC 130 is not input on any member of a multi-member LLC that is classified as a partnership, or an association taxable as a corporation. Domestic and Foreign LLCs may elect classifications by filing Form 8832, Entity Classification Election, A multi-member LLC may elect to be classified as a partnership, or an association taxable as a corporation. A single member LLC may elect to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation, or an entity disregarded as separate from its owner. An association taxable as a corporation may further elect to be classified as an S corporation by filing Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation. If an LLC does not file an election on Form 8832, then it is classified by default. A domestic multi-member LLC is classified by default as a partnership for federal tax purposes. A domestic single member LLC is classified by default as disregarded as an entity separate from its owner A foreign entity is classified by default and its classification depends on the number of members and the liability of each member involved. See IRM 5.1.21.10.1, Default Classification of Entities Not Filing an Election. The single member/owner (SMO), not the LLC, is the taxpayer when the LLC is a disregarded entity, except the entity is treated as a corporation for certain excise taxes that accrued on or after January 1, 2008 and for employment taxes on wages paid on or after January 1, 2009. See Treas. Reg. 301.7701–2(c)(2)(v) for the special rule for certain excise taxes, and Treas. Reg. 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iv) for special rule for employment taxes. For employment taxes on wages paid on or after January 1, 2009, and certain excise taxes that accrued on or after January 1, 2008 by a domestic single member LLC . If... And... Then... The balance due on the LLC is for employment taxes: Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, Series (MFT 01, 17) Form 943, Employer's Annual Tax Return for Agricultural Employees, Series (MFT 11, 19) Form 944, Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return, (MFT 14) Form 945, Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax, (MFT 16) Form CT-1, Employer's Annual Railroad Retirement Tax Return, Series (MFT 09, 71) Is for tax periods beginning January 1, 2009 or after The LLC is treated as a corporation. Overpayments from Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return cannot be applied to employment tax balances. If the taxpayer has no other liabilities, input TC 131. The balance due on the LLC is for certain excise taxes: Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return (MFT 03, 45) or other excise taxes Is for tax periods beginning January 1, 2008 or after The LLC is treated as a corporation. Overpayments from Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return cannot be applied to employment tax balances. If the taxpayer has no other liabilities, input TC 131. For employment taxes on wages paid before January 1, 2009 and certain excise taxes that accrued before January 1, 2008 by a domestic single member LLC that elected to be, or that was classified by default as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner: If... Then... Balance owed is for employment taxes accrued prior to January 1, 2009, or for excise taxes that accrued before January 1, 2008. Overpayments from Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return can be applied. Do not input TC 131 unless all balances are full paid. To determine an individual or business taxpayer's liability and how an LLC is classified for income tax purposes, see the following: IRM 5.1.21.5.1, Internal Sources, for TC 076 and TC 090 indicators shown on CC BMFOLE and a general discussion on locating the liable taxpayer. IRM 5.1.21.14.3, Identity of the Taxpayer on Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) regarding TC 971 AC 364, TC 971 AC 365, and TC 971 AC 366 that, if present, will identify the liable taxpayer. IRM 5.1.21-2, Income Taxation for LLCs and IRM 5.1.21-3, Employment Taxation for LLCs, in IRM 5.1.21, Collecting from Limited Liability Companies for an explanation of how LLCs are taxed and whether the individual or the entity is the liable taxpayer.

For more information on each tool as well as a job aid for each tool see the IAT Website. This section and subsections provide procedures for verifying and correcting CSEDs. They also have procedures for writing off assessments associated with an expired CSED when a module contains more than one CSED. These procedures are only to be used by employees who have received advanced training on computing and correcting CSEDs. If you have not received advanced CSED training and have a CSED issue see below for referring your case. Only refer cases that challenge the accuracy of specific dates used in the CSED calculation.

SB/SE ACS Support works CSED issues on Status (ST) 22 accounts and ST 24 accounts found in ACS Support work. Revenue Officers who need assistance in correcting an expired or incorrect CSED should contact their local area campus liaison. Revenue Officers should not contact the campus without permission of the liaison. See SERP Who/Where CSED Referrals - Campus for routing. Route accounts in ST 26, 43, 71 and 72 following normal procedures in IRM 5.19.1, Balance Due. Input CC STAUP for nine cycles for accounts in Notice Status. For accounts in ST 22, suspend any levy action until the CSED issue is resolved. Update AMS history with taxpayer issue and routing information. Only refer cases that challenge the accuracy of specific dates used in the CSED calculation. Types of CSED issue, validity referrals accepted include: Form 843, Claim For Refund and Request for Abatement Taxpayer correspondence Form 4442 , Inquiry Referral CSED issues identified in internal work Note: General inquiries do not meet referral criteria. Do not refer cases such as "the taxpayer does not agree with CSED" , "please verify account CSED" , "please transfer misapplied payments from the expired CSED account to a balance due module" , or "why is CSED longer than 10 years" . These type of referrals will be returned to the originator. Other statute issues, such as issues with the Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED), Refund Statute Expiration Date (RSED) or the Erroneous Refund Statute Expiration Date (ERSED) are not worked under these procedures. Any cases regarding statute issues other than CSED will be returned to the originator. The Collection Statute of Limitations is the time period established by law to allow the IRS to collect taxes. The CSED is the last date the IRS has to collect an outstanding balance (OB) due on an account, usually ten years from the assessment date, as provided by IRC 6502, Collection After Assessment. Once this ten-year period ends, the Government can no longer initiate collection action, unless the CSED had been extended by case action, event or agreement. Exception: If a proceeding in court is begun before the CSED, collection action may be taken thereafter to enforce any judgment obtained by DOJ. IRC 6502(a). For example see IRM 5.17.4.6.2, Effect of Judgement on Collection Statute of Limitations. There are many events that can have an effect on the CSED. Certain events suspend or extend the ten-year period for collection. See IRM 5.19.10.4.2, Transaction Codes and Case Actions that Suspend or Extend the CSED. When collecting by levying on tangible property, Form 2433, Notice of Seizure, must be provided by the CSED. See IRC 6502(b), Collection After Assessment. (Form 668-B, Levy, is a pre-seizure notice.) When collecting by levying on intangible property, the notice of levy must be served by the CSED; i.e., Form 668-A for bank accounts and cash-like property and Form 668-W for wages, salary, and other income. If the right to receive future payments (e.g., pension benefits, Social Security benefits) is fixed and determinable, the levy will attach when the amount would have been paid to the taxpayer. See IRM 5.11.6.2, Retirement Income. A continuous wage levy served before the expiration of the collection statute must be released upon the expiration of the collection statute. See IRM 5.11.5.3, Continuous Effect of Levy on Salary and Wages. See IRM 5.19.10.4.6.1, TC 971 AC 687, and Miscellaneous Codes for CSED, regarding the coding on an account for the CSED. Prior to November 5, 1990, the CSED was six years. Any CSED still open on November 5, 1990 was extended to ten years from the date of assessment. See IRM 25.6.1.12, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED), and IRM 5.1.19, Collection Statute Expiration.

# Transaction Codes with a Ten-Year CSED

5.19.10.4.1 (02-01-2014) Transaction Codes with a Ten-Year CSED In addition to Transaction Code (TC) 150, Tax Assessed, there are other TCs (some with specific reference numbers) that carry their own ten-year CSED. There are no limits to the number of CSEDs that can appear on a tax module. Full abatement of these TCs does not remove their associated CSED. Example: A TC 290 assessment of $1,100 dated 03-15-2010 is later completely abated with TC 291. The TC 290 CSED of 03152020 remains on the module and is not reversed. See IRM 5.1.19.2.1, Transaction Codes That Carry Their Own CSED.

# Transaction Codes and Case Actions that Suspend or Extend the CSED

5.19.10.4.2 (02-01-2014) Transaction Codes and Case Actions that Suspend or Extend the CSED There are also TCs that suspend or extend the CSED. See IRM 5.1.19.2.2, Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) Transaction Codes (TC) That Suspend Or Extend A CSED. Refer to the following for a discussion of specific actions that, when taken on an account, may suspend or extend the CSED: IRM Reference Type of Action IRM 5.1.19.3, Case Actions That Can Suspend And/Or Extend A CSED Note: Additional information may be found in IRM 25.6.1.12.2.1, Conditions Postponing Collection or Suspending the 10 Year Collection Period, on some of the actions listed to the right.

# CSED Fields on Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS)

5.19.10.4.3 (10-10-2023) CSED Fields on Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) Each TC that has its own CSED (except TC 150) will show its corresponding CSED to the right on CC IMFOLT/BMFOLT. The account will reflect the earliest CSED until that date has passed. CC TXMOD and CC SUMRY reflect the CSED that is next due to expire. CC IMFOLT indicates the FIRST CSED, NEXT CSED and LAST CSED. If there are more than three CSEDs present on the module, the NEXT CSED field shows the second CSED. When the second CSED expires, the NEXT CSED field updates with the third CSED, until all CSEDs are expired. For CC BMFOLT, the fields are EARLIEST CSED DATE, IMMINENT CSED DATE and LATEST CSED DATE. If the CSEDs are currently suspended by an unreversed TC 500, TC 520, TC 480, TC 470 CC 95 or TC 971 AC 065, all CSED fields will show blank. CSED fields will not show blank for TC 971 AC 043 or TC 971 AC 163. Note: If you identify there are no unreversed TC 500, TC 520, TC 480, TC 470 CC 95, or TC 971 AC 065 creating a blank CSED, then you should review the tax module for CSED suspending dates that are out of chronological order, out of sequence, or an erroneous refund. These types of issues create blank CSEDs on the tax module. If you locate any of these errors, review IRM 5.19.10.4.4, Determining the Correct CSED, and IRM 5.19.10.4.5, Resolving a Module with CSED Problems. When all CSEDs on the module are expired, a TC 608 generates to zero out the balance. Until all CSEDs are expired, the balance may consist of amounts associated with expired and unexpired CSEDs, unless expired balances were previously full paid or written off with TC 534. When payments are applied to an expired module, Master File reverses the posted TC 608 with TC 609 in order to credit the payment and then generates another TC 608. Example: Transaction Code Screen Data TC 608 1,232.47– TC 670 - DPC 05 150.00– TC 609 1,232.47 TC 608 1,082.47–

# Determining the Correct CSED

5.19.10.4.4 (03-23-2020) Determining the Correct CSED Control the module in "A" status with Category Code STAT, activity code "VERIFYCSED" . Update activity to "CSEDOK" when CSED is correct or "UPDATECSED" when the CSED must be corrected. When the taxpayer has questions regarding the CSED, but the CSED is correct, provide an explanation of how the CSED was determined. Use Letter 672-C, Payment(s) Located and/or Applied or other appropriate letter. If the case is not taxpayer initiated, suppress Letter 2645-C, Interim Letter, if the case is on AMS. Discuss CSED related issues with other functional areas as necessary. If the case is being routed outside your campus and the case is taxpayer initiated, send Letter 86-C, Referring Taxpayer Inquiry/Forms to Another Office. Route accounts with CSED issues in ST 22, 26, 71, 72 and 91 to the proper function using SERP Who/Where. For ST 26 modules, input TC 470 cc 90 to prevent any possible enforced collection. Leave a detailed explanation in AMS history including routing information. See IRM 5.19.10.4.7.1, MULTICSED Transcript and Listings, on how to address these statuses when it is a MULTICSED transcript or listing. If a case is received that has additional issues unrelated to the CSED issue, resolve the CSED issue and return the case to the originator or other appropriate area to address the other issues. For CSED issues on Estate Tax Liens (Form 706), contact the Advisory Estate Tax Group for assistance. Contact information can be found on the My SB/SE Website under Civil Enforcement Advice and Support Operations (CEASO). If there is a problem with the CSED and the module had a TC 480, pending OIC, dated after the correct CSED expired: Correct the CSED and complete other required case resolutions with the exception of resolving any payments posted after the CSED. Route the case (original or copy) or an IMFOLT print, if it is a transcript, to notify the OIC Centralized Service Center (COIC) of the corrected CSED. Attach a copy of the CSED computation to the case with an explanation. See SERP Who/Where .Offer-In-Compromise (OIC) Centralized Service Center Locations COIC will need to reconcile any payments. Identified CSED issues must be reviewed and verified. If the manual CSED computation is within ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ calendar days of the posted CSED, accept the posted CSED as correct. See IRM 5.19.10.4.5, Resolving a Module with CSED Problems for other CSED correction restrictions. Exception: Do not accept the posted CSED as correct if IDRS is calculating a 10-year CSED and the module has one or more TC pairs that suspend or extend the CSED even if it is within the ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ calendar days of the posted CSED as stated above. If a module has an incorrect CSED, verify and correct the CSED on it and on any surrounding balance due modules, if applicable. Calculate the correct CSED date using the guidelines outline in this IRM and other IRMs. For assistance with CSED calculations, see: Exhibit 5.19.10-5, CSED Computation Reference Table Exhibit 5.19.10-6, CSED Chart for OIC Exhibit 5.19.10-7, CSED Chart for OIC (continued) Exhibit 5.19.10-8, Manual Calculations of a CSED Using the Julian Date Calendar Exhibit 5.19.10-9, Manual Calculations of a CSED Using the Julian Date Calendar Exhibit 5.19.10-10, CSED Calculator Worksheet There are two tools available you can download to assist with CSED Calculations: CCalc or CSED Helper - Julian Lookup, found on SERP under IRM Supplements. Exception: CSED verification is not required on modules where there are no transactions that extend or suspend the CSED. See IRM 3.11.10-4, Julian Date Calendar, Perpetual and Leap Year, to obtain julian dates for your CSED computation. Accept TC 520/521, TC 480/780 and other applicable TC dates as correct, except when: These procedures direct you to verify dates Taxpayer is disputing dates (If we are unable to verify the date internally, taxpayer must provide proof, such as a copy of the OIC rejection letter) or In limited situations, when you determine verification is necessary. Be aware of the following when computing a CSED: If... Then... CSED suspension periods overlap Count the overlapping period only once when computing the CSED. Overlapping suspensions run concurrently. See IRM 5.1.19.3, Case Actions That Can Suspend And/Or Extend A CSED. Example: TC 520 cc 81 04-12-2009TC 521 cc 81 09-12-2010, plus six monthsTC 480 10-21-2010TC 780 05-30-2011Suspension is from 04-12-2009 to 05-30-2011. The suspension periods overlap from 10-21-2010 to 03-12-2011. Count these days only once. The TC 150 date is prior to the Return Due Date (RDD) Use the RDD as the suspension start date. The suspension start date is before a posted assessment date Include only that part of the suspension period that coincides with the assessment. Example: TC 480 dated 03-13-2001 is prior to the TC 290 assessment dated 05-27-2001. The start date for the TC 480 is 05-27-2001. The suspension start date is after the assessed balance is full paid Do not include this suspension period in the CSED computation for the assessment that was full paid. Exception: Include all suspension periods in the CSED computation for an assessment that was full paid prior to the suspension date where IDRS shows the assessment is an EXAM Jeopardy Assessment (indicated by a TC 370 with a TC 300). The suspension TC has a specific effective date Start date for that TC is its effective date. Example: TC 971/972 AC 043/063/163 did not suspend the CSED until March 9, 2002. If TC 971 AC 043 is dated 02-01-2002, it's start date is 03-09-2002. When correcting the CSED, update AMS history with the transaction codes and dates used in the CSED computation and total days of suspension included in the CSED. Also provide an explanation as to why the CSED was incorrect. Complete the "Monthly Recalculated CSED Report " and send to the SME at the end of each month. The SME will review the changes and will refer the issue to HQ if a systemic CSED issue not previously identified is found. When a CSED is corrected with TC 550, input TC 290 .00 to file all source documents including any taxpayer correspondence, a copy of the CSED computation and any write-off. Also include any supporting documentation, such as prints of AMS history, that support your CSED computation. Exception: Source document filing is not required when correcting a CSED with TC 550 due to invalid TC 166/176/186 being abated according to IRM 5.19.10.4.4.1, CSED Considerations. Refer to IRM 5.19.10.4.4.1, CSED Considerations, for additional guidance.

# CSED Considerations

5.19.10.4.4.1 (11-07-2024) CSED Considerations The following information discusses CSED conditions identified in CSED work. In some cases, these conditions have caused an incorrect CSED on the module. For more information, refer to IRM 20.2.5.2.4, Statutory Period for Assessment, Collection and Refund of Interest. Because of the diversity of issues regarding CSEDs, these procedures cannot address every situation encountered when working a module with a CSED problem. The tax module must be analyzed and the appropriate IRM research done in order to determine the cause of the CSED error. In some cases, logic and judgment must be used to resolve the issue. If a new problem (not addressed in these procedures) is encountered on a module that is causing an incorrect CSED and you are using your judgment to make a determination, confer with another CSED Specialist and obtain their concurrence before making a correction. Document AMS with the concurrence. MFT 31: See IRM 5.19.10.4.4.2, MFT 31 Issues. Failure to File penalty, Estimated Tax penalty or Federal Tax Deposit penalty: On some modules where a TC 166, TC 176 or TC 186 posted with its own ten-year CSED (the penalty posted alone and not in conjunction with a tax assessment), analyze the module to make sure the TC 166, TC 176 or TC 186 was not assessed by the computer in error. Some of these may be invalid due to a processing or systemic error. These penalties must be assessed within the established ASED. If you determine the penalty was assessed after the ASED: Abate the penalty with TC 161, TC 171 or TC 181. See IRM 5.19.10.4.5, Resolving a Module with CSED Problems, to correct the CSED. Note: In cases when the TC 166, TC 176 or TC 186 is caused by the reversal of an OIC, TC 605, verify when the penalty was assessed. If the penalty was assessed within the ASED, do not abate it. If the penalty was assessed after the ASED, then consider abatement. TC 550: See IRM 5.19.10.4.4.3, TC 550 and Form 900 Waiver Issues. TC 971/972 AC 043/063/163: See IRM 5.19.10.4.4.4, TC 971/972 AC 043/063/163 Issues. TC 500 Combat Zone: When computing a CSED on modules affected by Combat Zone (CZ) entry and exit dates, ONLY compute the number of days between the entry and exit dates and include the 180-day period(s). If the taxpayer entered and/or exited a CZ during the filing season do not add days for the filing season to your CSED computation. The period that occurred during the filing season is only added to the Return Due Date (RDD). Determine the correct TC 550 CSED Code to use by researching the applicable TC 500s on CC IMFOLE. See IRM 5.19.10.6.4, Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period. TC 520/521 cc 82, Civil Penalty with Appeal Rights: If there is a TC 470 cc 95 followed by TC 472 and no intervening TC 550, contact CCP Lien Teams on SERP Who/Where to re-compute the CSED for the TC 550 to resume collection activity. Input TC 550 as advised.

# MFT 31 Issues

5.19.10.4.4.2 (09-13-2022) MFT 31 Issues MFT 31 is an IMF Master File Tax (MFT) account code and used for assessments against an individual taxpayer on a joint module. For additional information, see IRM 21.6.8.4, What is MFT 31 / 65. When CSED code "S" or "P" indicates only one spouse filed a bankruptcy, CDP, OIC, innocent spouse, only one spouse agreeing, Tax Court, criminal restitution, or other, Master File cannot accurately compute the CSED on the MFT 30 tax module. Compare the transactions on the MFT 30 module to the transactions posted under each spouse on the MFT 31 module. Ensure each CSED is computed properly based on what suspension transactions are attributable to each spouse. For TC 480 and TC 520s mirrored to MFT 31, be aware of the following: If... Then... Joint MFT 30 module has a TC 971 AC 100 - 109 Do not count the suspension for a TC 480 or TC 520 with CSED code "S" when computing the CSED on the joint module. MFT 31 module contains a TC 370 with DLN NN251-999-95000-Y Do not count the suspension for a TC 480 or TC 520 with CSED code "S" . MFT 31 module contains a TC 370 with DLN NN251-999-00000-Y Do not count the suspension for a TC 480 or TC 520 with CSED code "P" or blank. MFT 31 module contains a TC 480 or TC 520 with no CSED code present Master File may not be computing the CSED correctly. Recompute the CSED and correct with TC 550, if needed. For some MFT 31 accounts created prior to January 1, 2005, interest from the MFT 30 module was assessed on the MFT 31 module using TC 340 doc code 51 in the 4th and 5th position of the DLN. This caused a new ten-year CSED based on the TC 340 date instead of the date of the associated tax assessment. When addressing a balance due on MFT 31 modules for tax periods ending December 31, 2004 and prior, analyze the module using CC IMFOLT to determine if there are TC 340s present with doc code 51. If present, compute the module CSED excluding the TC 340 doc code 51 dates. Verify the results with the CSED dates on page one of CC IMFOLT. If the CSED dates on CC IMFOLT are incorrect, input TC 550 to correct them. An erroneous failure to file penalty (TC 166) may be systemically assessed on the MFT 31 module thus causing an invalid ten-year CSED: If... And... Then... The wrong return received date was input to MFT 31 from the MFT 30 module It is the cause of the erroneous TC 166 Abate the erroneous TC 166 with TC 161 and update to the correct CSED with TC 550. The MFT 30 module shows a TC 460, Extension of Time for Filing, that was not input to the MFT 31 It is the cause of the erroneous TC 166 Input the TC 460 to the MFT 31 module. The system will generate a TC 167. Update to the correct CSED with TC 550, if Master File fails to systemically correct it.

# TC 550 and Form 900 Waiver Issues

5.19.10.4.4.3 (04-05-2017) TC 550 and Form 900 Waiver Issues When a TC 550 is present, accept the CSED date that was entered as valid. See the exception below for TC 550 definer code (dc) 10. For TC 550 definer code 01, do not add 90 days to your CSED computation. This is to be consistent with Master File programming. Verify the CSED and make corrections if the module has other issues affecting the CSED. See IRM 5.19.10.2, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), to determine if case meets TAS criteria. Due to RRA98, the CSEDs on some modules with TC 550 dc 01 were reset. A systemic program searched the Master File for modules where TC 550 dc 01 was present along with either a TC 971 AC 063 or a ST 60 within 120 days of the TC 550 transaction date. If the TC 971 AC 063 or ST 60 criteria was not met, then, A new TC 550 was generated for a CSED date of December 31, 2002 or the normal ten-year collection statute date whichever is later. These transactions will have a unique DLN DO277-999-99999-2. The transaction date of the TC 550 will be the date of the systemic run. Verify the CSED on modules where the CSED was extended or corrected with a TC 550 and transaction codes follow that suspend the CSED further (TC 520, TC 480, etc.). In some cases, the system may not be computing the CSED correctly. In the instance where this has occurred, correct the CSED with TC 550. TC 550 dc 10 is used to correct an existing CSED and for CDP corrections. Before changing a CSED with TC 550 and a TC 550 dc 10 is already present, research the account and AMS history to ensure your CSED correction is appropriate. Multiple TC 550s input incorrectly: When an account has a TC 550 present and additional TC 550s are input, they must be input with DLN-CD 99 (see the 9th and 10th position of the TC 550 DLN). If input without DLN-CD 99, these will post but will not change the existing CSED from the previous TC 550. Compute the CSED on the module using the last TC 550 CSED present. Input TC 550 and DLN-CD 99 to update the CSED on the module, if needed.

# TC 971/972 AC 043/063/163 Issues

5.19.10.4.4.4 (07-01-2025) TC 971/972 AC 043/063/163 Issues Verify the validity of these transaction codes through research of AMS and IDRS. If... Then... Taxpayer does not meet the pending Installment Agreement (IA) criteria at the time the TC 971 AC 043 was input Do not count the suspension period in your computation. See IRM 5.19.1.6.4.7, Pending IA Criteria. Reverse with TC 972 AC 043 using the same date as the TC 971. Note: If a TC 972 AC 043 is on the module and dated after the TC 971 AC 043 needing to be reversed, correct as follows: re-input the TC 971 AC 043 and TC 972 AC 043 using the same date. If CSED does not update correctly, input TC 550. The TC 972 AC 043 date does not match the date of the TC 971 AC 043 and is dated earlier In some cases, Master File cannot correctly compute the CSED. Correct as follows: re-input the TC 971 AC 043 and TC 972 AC 043 with same date. If CSED does not update, input TC 550. A TC 971 AC 043 is followed by a TC 971 AC 063 and both have the same date In some cases, Master File can not correctly compute the CSED. If a correction is needed, re-input TC 971 AC 043 and TC 972 AC 043 with same date. If CSED does not update correctly, input TC 550. Note: Master File programming was corrected so that this is no longer a problem on future input of these transaction codes. However, older modules may still be found with this problem. An account has an unreversed TC 971 AC 043 open for more than 14 cycles, if reversing transaction was input prior to January 21, 2016; 26 cycles if the reversing transaction was input on or after January 21, 2016 and there is no evidence of an IA request Disregard that date for your CSED computation. Reverse with a TC 972 AC 043 with the original TC 971 date. Note: If a TC 972 AC 043 is on the module and dated after the TC 971 AC 043 needing to be reversed, correct as follows: re-input the TC 971 AC 043 and TC 972 AC 043 using the same date. If CSED does not update correctly, input TC 550. An unreversed TC 971 AC 043 is followed by a TC 480 after April 23, 2024 that clearly indicates an end to the Pending IA suspense period Input a TC 972 AC 043 with a date equal to the TC 480 date. Note: If a TC 972 AC 043 is on the module and dated after the TC 971 AC 043 needing to be reversed, correct as follows: re-input the TC 971 AC 043 and TC 972 AC 043 using the same date as the TC 480. Monitor to ensure the module updates to the correct CSED. If CSED does not update correctly, input TC 550. A TC 971 AC 163 was caused by an IA that was defaulted in error or was manually defaulted to remove it from IA status Do not count the 30 day suspension associated with the TC 971 AC 163 when you compute the CSED.

5.19.10.4.5 (11-07-2024) Resolving a Module with CSED Problems A TC 550 is manually input to update or correct the CSED. The definer code will show the source/reason for the extension. See IRM 5.1.19.2.3, TC 550 Waiver Extension Definer Codes. Input TC 550 per IRM 5.19.10.4.5.1, Correcting an Existing CSED, No TC 550 on Account or IRM 5.19.10.4.5.2, Correcting an Existing TC 550, if the existing CSED is incorrect. For any payments dated after all CSEDs have expired, follow IRM 5.19.10.4.6, Credits Applied After the CSED, for proper handling of the payments. Input a secondary TC 570 with any post-CSED payments that you are transferring to another module. Control the module in "A" status and monitor until the CSED updates on CC IMFOLT/BMFOLT. Input TC 571 with a Posting Delay Code "2" to release the transferred payments. Input of TC 550 will update all CSEDs on the module to the same date. Care must be taken when inputting a TC 550 to a module with multiple CSEDs. If correcting one CSED will cause the other CSEDs to be incorrect, then a TC 550 cannot be done. For modules with two CSEDs: If... And... Then... FIRST CSED is incorrect The correct CSED is expired If all CSEDs are expired, close case no action. FIRST CSED is incorrect The correct CSED is not expired The FIRST CSED cannot be corrected. Input history items on CC TXMOD,"UPDATECSED" ,"FIRSTCSED=" and"MMDDYYYY" . Input similar history to AMS. LAST CSED is incorrect FIRST CSED is correct or incorrect and expired Input TC 550 to correct the FIRST CSED and/or Input TC 534 to write off any balance remaining for the FIRST CSED. Input TC 550 to correct the LAST CSED. Use Posting Delay Codes to prevent any unpostable. Add an explanation to AMS history. LAST CSED is incorrect FIRST CSED is correct or incorrect and not expired LAST CSED cannot be corrected. Input history items on CC TXMOD:"UPDATECSED" ,"FIRSTCSED=" ,"MMDDYYYY" ,"LASTCSED=" , and"MMDDYYYY" . Input similar history to AMS. Generally modules with three or more CSEDs cannot be corrected with TC 550 unless the LAST CSED is the one being corrected and all previous CSEDs are expired. Input history to CC TXMOD and AMS to indicate the correct CSEDs. Follow the table below to resolve other issues encountered when working CSED issues: If... And... Then... CSED fields on CC IMFOLT/BMFOLT are blank There is an open CSED suspense period such as an unreversed TC 520, TC 480 or TC 500 that is more than seven years old or there are CSED suspending dates out of chronological order, out of sequence, or an erroneous refund Research surrounding modules to locate the correct closing transaction and input to the open module. If unable to locate a closing transaction, contact the appropriate function to obtain the closing transaction information. Monitor until the correction posts. CSED fields on CC IMFOLT/BMFOLT are blank All CSED suspense periods are closed or there are CSED suspending dates out of chronological order, out of sequence, or an erroneous refund Force the CSED fields to populate the correct CSEDs with input of TC 550 and DLN Code 99. If transferring post-CSED payments, input a secondary TC 570 with the transfer. Monitor the account until corrections post. Reverse TC 570, if applicable. CSEDs are all expired The TC 608 did not generate or zero out the balance Input TC 534 with an amount equal to the module balance to force the module to ST 12. If transferring post-CSED payments, input a secondary TC 570 with the transfer. Monitor account until corrections post. Reverse TC 570, if applicable. CSEDs are all expired Input of TC 550 (force a TC 608 to generate) or TC 534 did not write off the balance or the transactions unposted Determine if an error was made that caused the unpostable. If so, re-input the TC correctly and monitor until the correction posts. In certain instances, a TC 550 input incorrectly will post but will not update the CSED. See IRM 5.19.10.4.4.3, TC 550 and Form 900 Waiver Issues. If transaction codes were input correctly, balance must be manually zeroed out to force ST 12. See below. If transferring post-CSED payments, input a secondary TC 570 with the transfer. Monitor account until corrections post. Reverse TC 570, if applicable. In some cases a module may have become frozen from update. Input of TC 550 or TC 534 will not update the CSED or force the balance to zero. To bring the balance to zero, an adjustment using CC ADJ 54 must be input. If a voluntary payment, partially paying the account is received before the CSED, apply it to tax, penalty (with any FTP first), and interest, in that order until the amount is absorbed. Rev. Proc. 2002-26, at sec. 3.02. For involuntary payments, payments are applied to interest first, then FTP, then other penalties and finally the tax. Example: Below is a table with examples of how involuntary payments are applied. Write-Off Module Module Computation Item Amount MOD-BAL> 2,931.96 Subtract all debits from module balance. Add all assessments and abatements for interest, then penalty, etc. Module balance: 2,931.96 T/C AMOUNT Add all interest Minus total interest: 46.67 150 31,000.00 Add all FTP Minus total FTP: 116.29 806 28,500.00- Add all FTF Minus FTF: 62.00 166 62.00 Remaining balance Remaining tax: 2,707.00 276 26.23 Input adjustment on IDRS 196 16.17 REQ54 CC ADJ54 670 143.00- Abate tax, penalty and interest 290 450.00 Abate tax TC 291 2,707- 276 90.06 Abate FTP TC 161 62.00- 196 30.50 Abate FTF TC 271 116.29- 670 100.00- Abate interest TC 341 46.67- Once a payment is used for a specific assessment with an expired CSED (either full or partially paid the assessment), it can't be reallocated to apply to another assessment with an open CSED. When computing interest, payments and credits that were applied to the expired CSED need to be "excluded" from the computation along with the applicable tax and penalties. On CC ADJ54 for IMF use Blocking Series 05, Source Code 0, Reason code (RC) 99 plus other applicable RCs and Hold Code 3. For BMF use Blocking Series 15 and Hold Code 3. If a TC 341 or TC 271 is not input, you must input a TC 340 and/or TC 270 for a zero amount to restrict additional assessments by IDRS. Enter the date of claim or the IRS received date in the RFSCDT field and code "S" in the OVERRIDE-CD field. Complete the "Monthly Recalculated CSED Report" and send to the SME at the end of each month. the SME will review the changes and will refer the issue to HQ if a systemic CSED issue not previously identified is found.

# Correcting an Existing CSED, No TC 550 on Account

5.19.10.4.5.1 (03-23-2020) Correcting an Existing CSED, No TC 550 on Account When it is determined the current CSED on the tax module needs to be corrected, a TC 550 must be input. Use TC 550 DEFINER-CD "10" . Before input of TC 550, refer to IRM 5.19.10.4.5, Resolving a Module with CSED Problems for additional information. For complete instructions for using CC FRM77 refer to Exhibit in IRM 2.4.19-5, Command Code FRM77 Input. Use CC REQ77 to input the TC 550 using the following fields: Transaction Code – always use TC 550. Extension date - recomputed CSED date. Transaction date – leave blank unless all CSED dates have expired. If all are expired, transaction date must be prior to the expired CSED date. DLN Code – leave blank. CSED Code – use appropriate code (P, B, or S). TC 550 Definer Code – use definer code 10, unless directed otherwise. Refer to IRM 5.1.19.2.3, TC 550 Waiver Extension Definer Codes. Remarks – must detail why CSED is being corrected.

# Correcting an Existing TC 550

5.19.10.4.5.2 (03-23-2020) Correcting an Existing TC 550 When it has been determined that the current TC 550 on the tax module is incorrect, an additional TC 550 must be input. Use TC 550 DEFINER-CD "10" unless otherwise directed. Before input of TC 550, refer to IRM 5.19.10.4.5, Resolving a Module with CSED Problems for additional information. For complete instructions for using CC FRM77 refer to Exhibit in IRM 2.4.19-5, Command Code FRM77 Input. Use CC REQ77/FRM77 to correct the TC 550. Input the following fields: Transaction Code – always use TC 550. Extension date - recomputed CSED date. Transaction date – leave blank unless all CSED dates have expired. If all are expired, transaction date must be prior to the expired CSED date. DLN Code – always use 99. CSED Code – use appropriate code (P, B, or S). TC 550 Definer Code – use definer code 10 unless directed otherwise. Refer to IRM 5.19.10.4.2, Transaction Codes and Case Actions that Suspend or Extend the CSED. Remarks – must detail why CSED is being corrected.

# Credits Applied After the CSED

5.19.10.4.6 (04-24-2026) Credits Applied After the CSED Resolve credits that posted after the correct CSED at the same time you are inputting TC 550 or a write-off. If there is Federal Levy Payment Program (FPLP) or SITLP levy activity on the module and correction of the CSED will result in a full write-off to ST 12: Input TC 470 cc 90 to temporarily suspend the levy activity while you are resolving the CSED. FPLP and SITLP activity can be identified by the presence of one or more of the following TC 971 AC 060, 061, 062, 169, 600 (SITLP), 662 or 762. Input TC 472 if needed, when all actions are completed. Transfer credits (TC 706) that are offset from other modules back to their original module. Input TC 570 followed by TC 572 with PDC 2 to prevent offset back to the expired CSED module. Allow the system to refund the credit, offset it to another liability or move it to Excess Collections. A payment (voluntary and involuntary) made after the CSED is a statutory overpayment under IRC 6401(a). Transfer payments that cannot be timely applied to a module to the Excess Collection File (XSF) for further processing by the Statute Team. See IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures For All Transcripts and IRM 5.19.10.5.2.2, Processing Overpayments from a Module Time-Barred From Collection, for instructions and certain exceptions. If other balance due modules are present for a single collection action, transfer payments that are not barred to the module with the shortest CSED. If there are no other balances due, the amount is subject to refund: Make two attempts to contact the taxpayer by phone and advise them of their CSED rights and the time period under IRC 6511, Limitations On Credit Or Refund, within which to claim a refund. If unable to reach by phone send Letter 672-C, Payment(s) Located and/or Applied. Follow IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts. For levy payments that posted after the CSED, research RTR to ensure that it is a true levy payment. SBSE CSCO follows IRM 5.19.2.6.7.3, Levy Payment Procedures SBSE ACS Support follows IRM 5.19.4.4.10, Levy Release: General Information If all balances are full paid, an existing Continuous Wage Levy (CWL) must be released using Form 668-D, Release of Levy/Release of Property from Levy. Follow IRM 5.19.10.10.2.2, Figure 5.19.10-10, Full Paid Continuous Wage Levy Accounts. However, if the account was in ST 6X and your corrections caused it to update to full paid, the CWL will be released by employees working the IAAL. Generally, a levy on a right to receive future payments that are "fixed and determinable" and that is served prior to the expiration of the collection period is enforceable and should not be released. In addition, a levy served after reducing a tax liability to a judgment (TC 550 dc 04) is valid. Allow these types of levy to remain on the expired CSED module, if the balance, including accruals, has not been fully paid. TC 971 AC 687 is input to identify the type of levy as either "fixed and determined" , continuous or other. See IRM 5.19.10.4.6.1, TC 971 AC 687, and Miscellaneous Codes for CSED. You can determine when a FPLP and SITLP levy was served by the posting of TC 971 AC 600, 662 or 762. If these levies were served AFTER the correct CSED expired, follow the IRM procedures below for handling levy payments. If you are unable to determine when a levy was served or whether it is "fixed and determined" , contact the unit lead or manager for assistance in determining whether to leave the post-CSED levy payments on the expired module. Transfer excess levy payments: To the module with the shortest CSED where a levy has been served. Then transfer excess levy payments to any non-levy modules. If full paying a levy module or levy payments are being applied to a non-levy module, fax a copy of the correspondence or Form 4442, Inquiry Referral, to the ACS Support and Status 22 TAS Liaisons per SERP Who/Where, to issue a levy on the non-levy module or partially/fully release a levy on a full paid levy module. If there are no other balances to transfer a levy to, leave the levy payment on the expired module. If the taxpayer requests a refund of levy payments, fax a copy of the correspondence or Form 4442, Inquiry Referral, to the ACS Support and Status 22 TAS Liaisons per SERP Who/Where. Send the appropriate letter to inform the taxpayer that the issue has been referred.

# TC 971 AC 687, and Miscellaneous Codes for CSED

5.19.10.4.6.1 (03-23-2020) TC 971 AC 687, and Miscellaneous Codes for CSED The TC 971 AC 687 with 20 miscellaneous codes was established for CSED purposes effective January 2007. When inputting a TC 971 AC 687, a miscellaneous code must be input at the same time. The miscellaneous code serves as an audit trail, defines what type of levy was served, and identifies other various actions taken on the account. The following chart will provide an explanation for each miscellaneous code. SB/SE should identify the "fixed and determined" from this point forward. Any module that does not have a code will be verified through the RO or CCP. Note: "Fixed and determined" levy sources are instruments, such as pensions, royalties etc., that are payable for a fixed amount on a date in the future that can be determined in advance. For instance, Social Security benefits begin at age 62, and Civil Service pensions at age 55. Miscellaneous Codes Definitions 001 Levy issued prior to the CSED identified as "fixed and determined" e.g. pension, royalties etc. excludes levy on working taxpayer's salaries. 002 Identifies the module as a continuous wage levy on wages/salaries secured before CSED. Exception: To identify the legal basis for releasing levies see: IRM 5.11.2.3.1, Legal Basis for Releasing Levies IRM 5.19.4.4.10, Levy Release: General Information IRM 5.19.10.10.6.1, IAAL Review of Continuous Wage Levy - CSCO Processing 003 Suit was filed before CSED expired. 004 Field Manager completed a review of the module prior to the CSED. Allow this module CSED to expire in its current status. 005 Unable to locate taxpayer. 006 Module is not a levy module, payments coded incorrectly. 007 Taxpayer's CSED rights communicated via phone/letter. Module has refundable credits and no outstanding liabilities. Levy release sent. 008 Taxpayer's CSED rights communicated via letter only. Module has refundable credits and the account has outstanding liabilities. Levy release sent. 009 Identifies a Valdez gas module (1). Only post Valdez gas payments to this module. Do not release the levy. Do not offset. Any excess credits will be refunded. Cases will be centralized in Anchorage. 010 Levy release previously sent, second contact with the taxpayer initiated via correspondence/phone. 011 Based on Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA98), CSED computed incorrectly, due to failure on account for suspension under IRC 6331(k)(1), Levy and Distraint, and IRC 6331(k)(3), Levy and Distraint. 012 CSED review completed, move module to the Retention File. 013 Communicated CSED rights via telephone. If account has outstanding liabilities, follow up with a letter. 014 Credit(s) Refund Statute Expired, no outstanding liabilities.

# Writing Off Expired Balances with TC 534

5.19.10.4.7 (02-01-2014) Writing Off Expired Balances with TC 534 Currently, Kansas City CSCO works lists of accounts where the earliest CSED has expired and a portion of the balance must be written off. Beginning in January 2013, a new MULTICSED transcript will issue in lieu of a listing. See IRM 5.19.10.4.7.1, MULTICSED Transcript and Listings. The IMF transcript will be worked by Kansas City and the BMF transcript by Philadelphia CSCO. Write-offs that exceed ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ must be approved by a manager. Forward the SSN and tax period by e-mail using Secure Messaging. List the proposed TC 534 write-off amount and the amount of interest and FTP penalty included in the TC 534 amount. The manager will input AMS history, "TC 534 approved" or "TC 534 denied." If denied, the manager must provide an explanation in AMS for the denial. When a tax module has multiple CSEDs and the earliest has expired, input a TC 534 to write-off any assessed balance associated with the expired statute. If no assessed balance remains from the expired CSED (accruals only), input a TC 534 with a zero amount.

# MULTICSED Transcript and Listings

5.19.10.4.7.1 (04-20-2022) MULTICSED Transcript and Listings Accounts are selected for the MULTICSED transcript or listing by the following criteria: Tax module balance, with accruals, is over ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ for IMF or ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ for BMF MFTs 30, 31 and 55 for IMF and MFTs 01, 06, 10 and 11 for BMF More than one CSED present and the earliest open CSED expired in the current cycle A transcript will not issue if the CSEDs are suspended by a TC 520, TC 480 or other A transcript will not issue if the next CSED expires within 90 days of the CSED that has just expired Example: The MFT 30 200212 tax module has three CSEDs, dated 05-21-2013, 07-27-2013 and 03-31-2015. No transcript will issue for the 05-21-2013 date because the next CSED, 07-27-2013, will expire in 67 days. If the CSED that expires is for a TC 150 that was settled at posting (ST 12) a transcript will not issue A transcript will not issue for the last CSED on the module. TC 608 will generate to zero out the remaining balance If module is in ST 12, ST 71(or -Y Freeze or OIC on the INDICATORS line on CC IMFOLT), ST 72 or ST 91 (or -Z Freeze) close with no action. Work all others including ST 22, ST 26 and ST 53. If CSED fields are blank, research the module to determine if that is correct. If no problem is identified, then close case no action. If problems are identified and the CSED field should not be blank, review IRM 5.19.10.4.4, Determining the Correct CSED, and IRM 5.19.10.4.5, Resolving a Module with CSED Problems. Transcripts are controlled in "A" status with Category Code MCSD. When working transcripts, do a manual calculation to verify the accuracy of the CSEDs present. The CCalc and CSED Helper - Julian Lookup tools may be used to assist with CSED calculations. This is to monitor our systems more closely, to ensure our CSEDs are accurate, and to identify trends and issues. Make a correction, if needed, per instructions in IRM 5.19.10.4, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) Verification and Correction. Report the correction on the "Monthly Recalculated CSED Report" . CSED verification is not required on modules where there are no transactions that extend or suspend the CSED. Exception: Check for invalid TC 166/176/186 that should be abated. Follow IRM 5.19.10.4.4.1, CSED Considerations. Document CSED verification in AMS by indicating manual CSED calculations match IDRS CSEDs, or indicating 10 year IDRS CSEDs where there are no transactions that extend or suspend the CSED, as appropriate. When correcting CSEDs, follow the AMS requirements under IRM 5.19.10.4.4(15), Determining the Correct CSED. If the correction results in a LAST CSED that is expired, close the case with no action. The TC 608 will write off the remaining balances. If the manual calculation for the CSED that issued the transcript is truly expired: Proceed with write-off Document AMS If there is a previous CSED expired less than 90 days earlier, and there is another expired (second) CSED after the first expired: Determine if a separate write-off is required for the currently expired CSED and the previously expired CSED Input a separate TC 534 for each expired CSED using a PDC to separate each input Document AMS If the LAST CSED on the module is within 90 days from the currently expired CSED which generated the transcript or the LAST CSED on the module is due to expire in less than 90 days from the current date, verify the CSED and close the case with no action. The TC 608 will write off the remaining balances. Exception: If the module is ST 60, continue working the case with normal procedures unless the LAST CSED on the module is due to expire in less than 30 days from current date. Follow procedures in the table below to write off the expired balance. If... And... Then... The assessment associated with the expired CSED full paid prior to the next assessment TXMOD Master File (MF) history indicates ST 12 immediately followed by an open assessment date ST 21, or zero balance prior to next assessment Input TC 534 .00 via IAT REQ54. Use: a) Blocking Series 19, b) Source Code 0, c) RC 099 (N/A for BMF), d) Hold Code 3, e) Enter the CSED date in the CSED> field on CC ADJ54 to which the TC 534 applies. Enter an AMS history with the TC 534 amount, indicating the determination was made based on ST 12 prior to the open ST 21 date. The assessment associated with the expired CSED was not full paid prior to the next assessment The module does not have restricted interest or FTP Compute the amount to be written off with TC 534. If any posted FTP or interest contains amounts for both expired and unexpired assessments, the amounts attributable to the expired assessment must be included in the TC 534 amount. Use CC INTSTD or the Automated Computation Tool (ACT/DMI) to correctly determine the portion of FTP and interest belonging to the expired CSED assessment in order to write off the correct amount. Add the total debit amounts for the assessment associated with the expired CSED and subtract any credits that posted prior to that expired CSED. Associate any Collection fees (TC 360) and Bad Check Penalties (TC 280) that posted prior to the next assessment with the amount being written off. Input TC 534 via IAT REQ 54 with the write-off amount. Do not create a credit balance on the module. If not previously specified, enter an AMS history of the module reviewed and actions taken. Include CSED verification determination and expired assessment ACT/DMI calculations, or a no action determination, as appropriate to the case. Once a TC 534 is input, all subsequent interest and FTP penalty updates must be manually computed.

# Balance Due Transcripts

5.19.10.5 (04-20-2022) Balance Due Transcripts The IAT tools as listed in IRM 5.19.10.1.7, Related Resources must be used by Campus Compliance employees for procedures outlined in this IRM. When an action must be taken and an IAT tool is available, Campus Compliance employees with access to the tool are required to use it to complete the action. Note: If an IAT tool is not functioning properly or it is determined not to be appropriate due to a specific situation, the case should be worked without the tool, using IDRS. For more information on each tool as well as a job aid for each tool see the IAT Website. Balance Due Transcripts are generated in the campuses to signal an alert to certain situations that have been present for some time on an account and cause the account to remain unresolved. This category of transcripts includes: Payment Expired Collection Statute Expiration Date (PMTEXPCSED) Accounts Maintenance Claim Pending (AM06W) Accounts Maintenance (AM07) Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED or SPC3) Claim Pending Collection Statute (AM23W) Notice of Potential Manual Penalty/Interest Adjustment (CP 86 and CP 186) Non-Master File Liability (NMFL) Verify Payment (VERFPYMT) Notice of No Merge TDA Module and NOMRG TDA Transcript (CP 206) Note: For a complete listing of all the transcripts, refer to IRM 3.13.62, Media Transport and Control. ASED is usually three years from the later of the unextended due date or the filing date of the return. The AM-X transcript will generate if the account is open in Collection regardless of other conditions on the module. Refer to IRM 25.6.1.5, Basic Guide for Processing Cases with Statute of Limitations Issues. STAT, statute expiration is imminent (within six months). There are four types of STAT cases. AM23W: the only check here is for CSED. See IRM 5.19.10.5.6, Claim Pending Collection Statute Transcript (AM23W) Dummy Cases: which include other Accounts Management (AM) and TDI issues. It also includes civil penalty modules RSED: This transcript is sent regardless of other posting or conditions Normal STAT: one of the freeze conditions is met (other than 23W). There are two types of issuances, First and Follow - up. The ASED is within six months of expiring. Once a normal STAT is issued, an AM case will not generate. Please refer to the e-Guide for working transcripts located on SERP, Balance Due Transcripts.

# General Procedures For All Transcripts

5.19.10.5.1 (11-07-2024) General Procedures For All Transcripts The following transcripts are considered a "Priority Transcript" : CSED (SPC3) PMTEXPCSED CP 44 EFT Spousal Transcript NMFL AM07W Any transcript with a credit balance/TC 608 condition Verify the CSED on all modules where the CSED has been extended or suspended. See IRM 5.19.10.4.2, Transaction Codes and Case Actions that Suspend or Extend the CSED, and IRM 5.19.10.4, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) Verification and Correction. The CSED can be verified using the Julian date calendar or the CCalc Tool found on SERP Job Aids and Supplements under the topic CSED Helper- Julian Lookup AMRH, Statute or Accounting may control a transcript to CSCO to resolve a levy payment. As of July 26, 2011, it is no longer necessary to refer these to CSCO. If a transcript of this type appears on the Aged Case Listing: Reassign the transcript back to the originator if the levy payment is less than 60 days old. Take no action and close the control for levy payments over 60 days old. Atlanta CSCO does not work BMF transcripts (except for EFT Listings). Recontrol back to the originator any other BMF transcripts that are received. If there is a TC 470 on the module, follow IRM 5.19.10.5.3, Accounts Maintenance Claim Pending (AM06W) Transcripts, to input a TC 472. Close the control with a history item relating to the action. Research IDRS for any available credit(s). Document AMS with a history item XXXXXRSHRD (Xs identifies the type of transcript). If... Then... Credits are located - designated voluntary payment Research RTR to determine if taxpayer designated the payment for a specific tax period. If the payment was designated and was received on or before the CSED, transfer the credit to the specified tax period. Otherwise, if credits are not barred, transfer the credit to another balance due starting with the shortest CSED. See IRM 5.19.10.5.2.2, Processing Overpayments From a Module Time-Barred From Collection, for further application. Credits are located - undesignated payment or involuntary from taxpayer Apply the payment to another module starting with the shortest CSED. See IRM 5.19.10.5.2.2, Processing Overpayments From a Module Time-Barred From Collection, for further applications. Payment was proceeds from levy on a "fixed and determined" levy source The payment: can be applied if the levy source was served on or before the CSED expires. "Fixed and determined" levies served prior to the expiration of the CSED, attach to future payments that the taxpayer will receive from a pension plan, social security benefits, royalties, etc. Proceeds from these sources can still be collected and applied to a balance due even after the CSED has expired. See IRM 5.19.10.4.6.1, TC 971 AC 687, and Miscellaneous Codes for CSED. If neither of the above apply, the payment cannot be applied to the expired CSED module regardless of the payment date or posting cycle date. Use the proper bypass code to avoid generating an unpostable. If an expired CSED module has a timely collected credit that created a credit balance The overpayment of tax may be applied to another module starting with the shortest CSED and follow IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts. The transfer(s) full pay the module Document AMS and close the control. Any amount of balance remains Follow specific transcript procedures. To transfer credit(s) to the URF or XSF, follow the procedures below. If the credit is being transferred from an expired CSED module, there must be a TC 608 posted on the module or the transfer will unpost. If TC 608 is not present, it will be necessary to transfer the credit(s) to a satisfied module with a TC 570 or create a dummy module. If the payment is less than a year old, use Form 2424, Account Adjustment Voucher, to transfer to URF. Follow IRM 3.17.10.3.2, Receiving Unidentified Remittance Cases. For payments more than a year old, use Form 8758, Excess Collections File Addition. In Box 4 enter "IDEN" . Follow IRM 3.17.220.2.2.1, Preparation of Form 8758. Input TC 971 AC 296 to the module with the credit. In the Explanation box on both forms be very specific regarding the reason for transfer. Attach IDRS prints to the Form 2424, Account Adjustment Voucher, or Form 8758, Excess Collections File Addition. Ensure there is a tracking number on both Form 2424 and Form 8758. Input an AMS history item to indicate the actions taken (non-refundable credits, good refund, refund statute in jeopardy, etc. Credit to URF or XSF via From 2424 or Form 8758). To request a transfer from URF or XSF, follow the procedures below. Prepare Form 8765, IDRS Control File Credit Application, to transfer a payment from either the URF or XSF. See IRM 3.17.10.3.10, Applying Credit to a Taxpayer's Account, for transfers from URF and IRM 3.17.220.2.12, Applying Amounts From the XSF—General, for transfers from XSF. Forward all Forms 8765 requiring statute clearance to the Statute function for review prior to forwarding to Excess Collection. For additional information, refer to IRM 3.17.220.2.12(4), Applying Amounts From the XSF—General. Attach documentation to the request that identifies the credit on the URF or XSF file, indicates its proper application, and provides justification for the transfer such as a copy of taxpayer correspondence. To request a manual refund, use Form 5792, Request for IDRS Generated Refund (IGR). The Manual Refund Tool is an IAT tool that is used to process and monitor manual refunds. As of July 17, 2013 use of this tool is mandatory. When initiating a manual refund, follow procedures found in IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds. Approval must be obtained by a designated Certifying Officer. Inform taxpayers that they are still subject to offset by The Bureau of Fiscal Services (BFS) through the TOP for past due child support or Federal agency debts owed. Refer to IRM 21.4.6, Refund Offset. If account is full paid and levy payments are still being applied, see IRM 5.19.10.5.2.1, General Instructions for PMTEXPCSED Cases. If balance due notice or TDA processing is suspended for more than six months due to an IRS error, adjust any P&I per procedures in IRM 20.1.2, Failure to File/Failure to Pay Penalties and IRM 20.2, Interest. If there is a TC 582 Federal Tax Lien on the module, verify the CSED. If the CSED is within 180 days of expiring, resolve any retention or freeze code. When the CSED expires, the lien is self-releasing. If the available credit is less than the accrued penalty amount, then assess the total amount. EXCEPTION: if the additional accrued penalty amount exceeds available credit by ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, assess only the available credit amount. Do not assess zero balance account for ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. Count each transcript received for each different MFT/TXPD, except where noted.

# PMTEXPCSED Transcripts

5.19.10.5.2 (09-13-2022) PMTEXPCSED Transcripts A Payment Expired CSED (PMTEXPCSED) Transcript generates once for each TC 610, TC 640 or TC 670, without Designated Payment Code (DPC) 05, 06, or 14, that is applied to a module after the CSED has expired. The purpose of the transcript is to determine proper disposition of the payment, which may include one or more of the following: Move a misapplied payment to the correct tax module Determine that a payment can remain on the expired CSED module Release continuous wage levies Issue manual refund See IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures for All Transcripts, for more information regarding the Unidentified File (URF), Excess Collection File (XSF) and manual refunds.

# General Instructions for PMTEXPCSED Cases

5.19.10.5.2.1 (04-24-2026) General Instructions for PMTEXPCSED Cases After CSED has expired, the taxpayer has no obligation to make any payment even though the assessed amount has not been satisfied. A payment received after the CSED is treated as an overpayment of tax. IRC 6401(a), Amounts Treated As Overpayments. See IRM 5.19.10.5.2.2, Processing Overpayments From a Module Time-Barred From Collection. Under IRC 6511, Limitations On Credit Or Refund, the taxpayer has two years from the date the payment was made or three years from the date the return was filed, whichever is later, in order to file a claim for refund. Payments under an installment agreement (IA) are controlled by the terms of the agreement. An IA payment that was misapplied can be transferred without taxpayer approval. Research AMS history and the tax account before making a decision regarding the credit. Follow the table below to resolve the credit issue: If... Then... The credit must be resolved by Insolvency, TFRP, OIC, CI (TC 91X), Innocent Spouse (TC 971 AC 065) or an RO (ST 26) Forward the case to the appropriate function, requesting resolution of the payments. Provide a print of CC TXMOD with the affected payments highlighted. Update AMS and close case. Collection of the module is time-barred See IRM 5.19.10.5.2.2, Processing Overpayments From A Module From Time-Barred Collection, to determine if credit can be applied elsewhere. If payment cannot be applied elsewhere transfer the credit to XSF. For instructions see IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures for All Transcripts. Update AMS and close case. Payment applied to expired CSED account. Research RTR verifying taxpayer's payment Payment was misapplied, input credit transfer. Update AMS and close case. Payment applied to expired CSED account. Research RTR verifying taxpayer's payment. No other liability due, i.e., cross reference SSNs, EINs, etc., issue manual refund. Send TP Letter 549-C, Balance due on Account is Paid. Note: Use paragraph provided by HQ for this scenario until letter can be updated. Inform the taxpayer that the CSED expired, and they have no obligation to make future payments for that tax period. Update AMS and close case. Payment applied to expired CSED account. Research RTR verifying taxpayer's payment. Cannot determine where payment should be applied. Make two attempts to contact the taxpayer by phone to get the required information. If unable to reach the taxpayer by phone, send TP Letter 549-C, Balance due on Account is Paid, requesting where payment should be applied. Note: Use paragraph provided by HQ for this scenario until letter can be updated. Monitor case for 45 days. Update AMS and close case. A TC 840 or TC 846 previously generated on an expired CSED module, and there are no additional liabilities Verify payment cannot be applied to another module based on activity since the refund. Refund subsequent payments Send TP Letter 549-C, Balance due on Account is Paid. Note: Use paragraph provided by HQ for this scenario until letter can be updated. Inform the taxpayer that the CSED expired and they have no obligation to make future payments for that tax period. Update AMS and close case. A reply was received previously allowing the IRS to apply the credit(s) to an expired CSED module, and subsequent payments post to the same expired module. The analysis shows the same conditions exist. Do not send another Letter 549-C, Balance Due on Account is Paid. Continue applying the credits to the CSED module until full paid. Input TC 672/670 using CC ADD24. Input DPC 14 on the new TC 670. Update AMS and close case. Credit is other than TC 670 See IRM 5.19.10.5.2.3, Processing Transaction Codes and Payments Other Than TC 670. Update AMS and close case. The post-CSED payment is an IA payment and taxpayer has other balances in ST 6X. (Also check for ST 6X on cross reference accounts.) Transfer the credit to the next tax period having the earliest CSED. Reinstate the IA if misapplication of the payment caused the IA to default. Do not charge a reinstatement User Fee. Send Letter 549-C, Balance due on Account is Paid, informing the taxpayer of the expired CSED for the specific tax period. Advise taxpayer to use the current account information for all future payments. Update AMS and close the case. Credit is a levy payment, TC 670 DPC 05 Research IDRS, AMS, or RTR to determine if it is a true levy. If it is a true levy, a CWL is in effect, and account is full paid, follow IRM 5.19.10.10.2.2, Full Paid Continuous Wage Levy Accounts. If not a CWL, take no action and close your case. A LEVYPMT transcript will issue to ACS Support to resolve the credit and release the levy if necessary. Update AMS and close case. Credit is a pre CSED levy identified as "fixed and determined" e.g. pension, royalties etc. (not a levy on wages). To identify this type of levy, research the module for the presence of TC 971 AC 687, with Miscellaneous Code 001. If this type of credit posts to an expired CSED module, take no action. Update AMS and close case. Input the appropriate history item on AMS for the audit trail. Input history item(s) that reflect each action taken to advise the taxpayer of rights concerning the overpayment caused by taxpayer's payment of the tax after the expiration of IRC 6502, Collection After Assessment.

# Processing Overpayments From a Module Time-Barred From Collection

5.19.10.5.2.2 (04-05-2017) Processing Overpayments From a Module Time-Barred From Collection Other than the exception discussed below in (2), a statute-barred credit may not be applied to offset the debit modules on an account. A credit may appear to be statute barred on one account module, but if there is more than one module used to process the taxpayer's filing for the tax period, the credit may be applied to a debit module. Example: A payment was applied to a Form 1040 MFT 30/31 2000 tax year, but CSED had expired at that time. It can be transferred to a Form 1040 NMF 2000 tax year (for which the CSED has not passed.) If the barred credit cannot be applied, transfer it to the Excess Collection File. To the extent that modules can be identified where a statute barred credit was applied in error, those credits are considered void and should therefore be reversed.

# Processing Transaction Codes and Payments Other Than TC 670

5.19.10.5.2.3 (04-20-2022) Processing Transaction Codes and Payments Other Than TC 670 These transaction codes may generate a freeze condition, an assessment, an offset or other types of payments. This table provides procedures for processing transaction codes and payments other than TC 670. Figure 5.19.10-1 If... Then... TC 694 When the IRS incurs legal fees, security and sale costs, lien fees and other expenses while enforcing collection of delinquent balance dues, TC 360 is input to assess the fees against the taxpayer. A payment made by the taxpayer to satisfy these fees may be posted to the module with TC 694. Refer to IRM 5.1.2.6.2(3), Transaction Codes. This is a good payment with any date. Do not refund. Normally, a TC 360 will already be in the module. However, both TC 694 and TC 360 can be input simultaneously. If there is any excess credit after these costs are paid, it will be posted as a TC 670 with a DPC code indicating the type of sale or administrative cost, such as cost of the levy or suit. Refer to Document 6209, IRS Processing Codes and Information, Chapter 11 for a list of DPCs. This TC 670 is refundable. TC 706 and no outstanding liabilities The computer will occasionally offset to an expired CSED module if it is the oldest module and it was written off with an amount. Starting with processing year 2005, a transcript should generate to properly resolve the payment issue. If there are no other unexpired CSED balance due modules, consider this credit as refundable. Transfer the credit back to the module it originated from to generate a refund. TC 706 with other outstanding liabilities Transfer credit to the module with the earliest CSED with a balance. Notify the taxpayer of the transfer. Other TCs Research Document 6209, IRS Processing Codes and Information, Transaction Codes for a description of the TC. Check RTR, AMS and IDRS history to determine the reason for the payment. Contact the other areas, if needed. Explain the CSED issue (IRC 6502), the payment date, and ask for advice on the disposition of the payment. TC 640 Advance Payment (this is an expired CSED module) Check RTR, AMS and IDRS history to determine the source of the payment and where it should be applied. If it can be determined where it should be applied, transfer the payment. If no determination can be made, treat as an overpayment of tax and contact the taxpayer per IRM 5.19.10.5.2.1, General Instructions for PMTEXPCSED Cases.

# Processing Responses/No Response to Letter 549C/672C

5.19.10.5.2.4 (09-13-2022) Processing Responses/No Response to Letter 549C/672C The following table provides procedures for processing refund responses and no responses. Figure 5.19.10-2 If... And... Then... The taxpayer requested to have the payment applied Taxpayer wants it applied to the module with the expired CSED Input TC 672/670 using CC ADD24. Input DPC 14 on the new TC 670. The taxpayer requested to have the payment applied Taxpayer wants it applied to another liability Transfer the credit using CC ADD24 and appropriate DPC code. The taxpayer does not want it applied Taxpayer requested a refund Prepare Form 5792, Request for IDRS Generated Refund (IGR). Compute credit interest with CC COMPA if the credit is more than 45 days old. See IRM 20.2.1.5.2, Command Code COMPA. Follow IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds. Input TC 290 for ".00" to associate the Letter 672-C, Payments Located and/or Applied, and the taxpayer's response in files. The taxpayer is issued a letter Taxpayer does not respond Prepare Form 5792, Request for IDRS Generated Refund (IGR). Compute credit interest with CC COMPA if the credit is more than 45 days old. See IRM 20.2.1.5.2, Command Code COMPA. Follow IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds. The taxpayer can apply the credit to the expired CSED module, another liability or have it refunded. Letter is undeliverable Research for a new address. Use CC IMFOLE or CC BMFOLE to see the last return filed. If a return was filed, check CC RTVUE or CC IRPTRL for a different address. If a new address is located, reissue the letter. If the taxpayer replies, prior to issuing a manual refund make sure the address has updated on Master File. If the new address has not been updated on Master File, follow normal procedures for updating. If unable to obtain a new address, input TC 971 AC 687, Miscellaneous Code 005. Prepare the necessary forms to move the credits to URF or XSF. Notate the form "Good Refund" so that the credit can be applied when a new address is verified. Input the appropriate history items. The taxpayer is issued a letter A late reply is received from the taxpayer Prepare Form 8765, IDRS Control File Credit Application to move the credit(s) back from the URF or XSF. See IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures for All Transcripts, for information on the URF and XSF. Follow procedures in the table above based on the taxpayer request.

# Accounts Maintenance Claim Pending (AM06W) Transcripts

5.19.10.5.3 (04-26-2019) Accounts Maintenance Claim Pending (AM06W) Transcripts The 06W transcript will generate after twenty-two (22) cycles: When there is an unresolved TC 470 with no closing code, a cc 90, cc 93 or cc 95 on IDRS A W− freeze appears on the tax module on IDRS The issuance of the transcript is categorized as AMRH If the first 06W transcript is not resolved, a follow-up transcript will issue in 15 cycles and can be identified by an "F" after the transcript type. If the ASED has expired, an AM-X transcript will generate regardless of any posting in the module. If the Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED) is imminent (within 180 days), a Statute (STAT) transcript will generate.

# Processing 06W Transcripts

5.19.10.5.3.1 (04-26-2019) Processing 06W Transcripts See Document 6209 Section 11.8, TC 470 Closing Code Chart for information on how TC 470 is released. The table below is a partial list from Document 6209 indicating how TC 470 no closing code, cc 90, cc 93 and cc 95 are released. TC 470 Type... Release Criteria... TC 470 no closing code Systemically reversed after 9 cycles if there is no open control, otherwise 15 cycles (Except if Status is ST 22, 24, 26 or 60). Input of TC 472. Input of TC 29X or TC 30X (see exception in Document 6209). Module becomes a zero or credit balance. TC 470 cc 90 Systemically reversed after 22 cycles (Except if Status is ST 22, 24, 26 or 60). Input of TC 472 no cc. Input of TC 29X or TC 30X (see exception in Document 6209). Module becomes a zero or credit balance. TC 470 cc 90 for MFT 31 when AC is 102 or 103 Input of TC 472 no cc. Input of TC 29X or TC 30X (see exception in Document 6209). Module becomes a zero or credit balance. TC 470 cc 93 Systemically reversed after 22 cycles. Input of TC 472 no cc. Input of TC 29X or TC 30X (see exception in Document 6209). Module becomes a zero or credit balance. TC 470 cc 95 Input of TC 472 CC 95. Module becomes a zero or credit balance. A W− freeze may also be created when a duplicate return is created with the posting of TC 976, module is a debit balance and Status is 22, 24 or 26. A W− hold will be released with TC 29X or when the module becomes a zero or credit balance. The following table provides procedures for resolving AM06W conditions. Research IDRS for the latest information, then continue below. Figure 5.19.10-3 If... Then... If a prior action has resolved the TC 470 condition or the status is 12. Document AMS with the following history item, "TC 470 prior action taken" . Close the case. Action to release TC 470 unpostable Re-enter TC 470 to allow more time. Update AMS with comments"TC470/EXPD" . If an action that will release the TC 470 is pending on the account but has not yet occurred. See table above that lists the IDRS actions that will release the TC 470. Update AMS and close the case. If a pending transfer or adjustment will satisfy the balance due (including accruals) per CC INTST. See table above that lists the IDRS actions that will release the TC 470. Update AMS and close the case. If a pending transfer or adjustment will not satisfy the module and the account was in TDA status or notice status prior to the input of the TC 470. Input TC 472. Update AMS and close the case. The module contains a TC 470 cc 95 (civil penalty appeal). Do not reverse TC 470. Document AMS and close the case. TC 470 input date is less than 5 months (22 cycles) from the current date. Take no action. Update AMS and close transcript. TC 470 input date is 5 months (22 cycles) or more from the current date and the module has an open control base. Example: If the module is controlled to Erroneous Refund (ERRF), Automated Substitute for Return (ASFR) and Exam (may have RECN in the category). Input a TC 470. Update AMS with comments TC470/EXPD. TC 470 input date is 5 months (22 cycles) or more from the current date and it is determined that the TC 470 is not necessary. Input TC 472. If the TC 470 cc 90 is present on a MFT 44 (Form 990–PF, Return of Private Foundation or Section 4947 (a) (1) Non exempt Charitable Trust Treated as a Private Foundation) module. Do Not reverse the TC 470. Input a TC 470 cc 90. If module is MFT 31 and has been mirrored or split from an MFT 30 module, a TC 400/TC 402 should be present. As part of the process TC 470 may have been input (typically on OIC, Criminal Restitution and Insolvency cases). After a successful mirroring a TC 472 should have been input to reverse the TC 470. If the mirroring/split process is complete, indicated by a posted TC 400/TC 402, reverse the TC 470 if it is still present. If the process is still pending take no action. (If another TC 470 is input and it is pending during the mirroring, it will cause the mirroring process to fail.). TC 976 caused the W− freeze Update AMS and close the case. If TC 470 is not resolved and the module/account contains a freeze code, review the module to see if it is still necessary. Follow procedures in the table that provides procedures for modules containing a combination of a TC 470 and a freeze code. Figure 5.19.10-4 If... Then... −Y Freeze Code Update AMS and close the case. −L Freeze Code Reverse the TC 470. Update AMS with comments "TC470 reversed" . Unreversed TC 520 (−V, −W or −VW) Update AMS and close the case. −Z or Z− Freeze Code Update AMS and close the case.

# Accounts Maintenance Transcripts (AM07)

5.19.10.5.4 (03-23-2020) Accounts Maintenance Transcripts (AM07) The AM07 transcript generates when there is a credit balance on an account that contains a TC 130 and TC 150 and the CP 44 Notice was not resolved in 16 cycles. A V− freeze appears on the transcript and the related module on IDRS. If the transcript is not resolved within 14 days from the computer notice date, a control base with Category Code AMRH is automatically established. The following will explain the three statute transcripts that will generate for the AM07 if the module is open, regardless of any posting: If the Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED) has expired, an AM–X-07 transcript will generate. If the ASED will expire per the statute table or within six months, a statute transcript generates. The follow-up transcript will generate in 16 cycles. Follow IRM 5.19.10.3.12, Generation of CP 44 and CP 188, to resolve. CSCO works both IMF and BMF accounts at various campuses.

# CSED (SPC3) Transcript

5.19.10.5.5 (03-23-2020) CSED (SPC3) Transcript A CSED Transcript (including SPC3 Transcripts) generates when: The earliest CSED is expired, the latest is not expired There is no unreversed TC 534 or a TC 400 hold present Each debit module has a total module balance of ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ or more An A− freeze appears on the credit and debit module The A− freeze is released after eight cycles unless a TC 534 is input A CSED Transcript generates even when the balance due is for accruals only There are several transaction codes or assessments that carry their own CSED. See IRM 25.6.1.12, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED), for a list. SBSE CSCO works IMF and BMF accounts at various campuses.

# Processing CSED (SPC3) Transcript

5.19.10.5.5.1 (04-20-2022) Processing CSED (SPC3) Transcript Take no action on transcripts with the following criteria: If Then A transcript issues on a TFRP module, MFT 55 , TC 240 with PRN 618 Take no action. A separate transcript issues to the TFRP unit in the appropriate CSCO site. A transcript issues on a Restitution Based Assessment (RBA) module, MFT 31, TC 971 with AC 18X Take no action. A separate transcript issues to the RBA unit in the appropriate CSCO site. Transcript module is in ST 12, ST 71 or ST 72 Take no action Transcript has an open control with category code "MCSD" assigned to an individual employee (i.e., IDRS assignment number is not generic. Generic numbers are 0967500003 or 0966022222.) Take no action Review CC IMFOLT/BMFOLT to identify the expired assessment that generated the transcript. Follow the procedures in IRM 5.19.10.4.7.1, table, MULTICSED Transcripts and Listings. Enter AMS history with the TC 534 amount and the Transaction Codes with their amounts that are included in the TC 534. After the amount of the write-off has been computed using ACT/DMI, access Sort/Show on ACT/DMI, save it as Excel and cut and paste the information to AMS. Indicate total interest and total FTP amounts that were included. Due to the overpayment that must be released with TC 534, the 90 day rules under MULTICSED Transcript procedures, paragraph 7, do not apply to these transcripts. If the last CSED is under 90 days, take no action, close case. Beginning in cycle 04 of 2013, CC ADJ54 has a new required field (CSED) to input the expired CSED that is associated with the TC 534. If the CSED date does not match an existing date on the tax module, TC 534 will unpost with UPC 193. This date will appear next to the posted TC 534 on the module. The credit causing the A− freeze may not be applied to the CSED balance that has just expired, regardless of the date or posting cycle of the credit. It can only be applied to the balance that has not yet expired. When a module has more than one assessment, it is required to have a TC 534 input on the module with a zero or a significant amount representing the assessment with the expired CSED. Beginning cycle 201304, it is no longer required to reverse the existing TC 534. Multiple TC 534s must now be input, for each expired CSED. Prior to cycle 04, there should be only one TC 534 on the module to cover all previously expired CSEDs. If an incorrect amount is input with TC 534, reverse it with a TC 535. Re-enter TC 534 with the correct amount. Use CC REQ54/ADJ54 to reverse a previous write-off. Input the following fields: Blocking Series – 19 INTCMP-DT - Enter the posting date of the TC 534 that is being reversed Transaction Code – TC 535 Amount – Amount of previous TC 534 (do not use a minus sign) Source Code – 0 Reason Code – 99 Hold Code – 3 Use CC REQ54/ADJ54 to write-off the expired amount. Input the following fields: Blocking Series – 19 CSED - CSED date associated with the TC 534 Transaction Code – TC 534 Amount – Balance to be written off with a minus sign or a zero amount Source Code – 0 Reason Code – 099 Hold Code – 3 Note: For BMF accounts, leave the Source Code and RC fields blank.

# Claim Pending Collection Statute Transcript (AM 23W)

5.19.10.5.6 (09-13-2022) Claim Pending Collection Statute Transcript (AM 23W) The AM 23W transcript is generated to alert the campus of the W− freeze condition created by a TC 470 cc 90, 93, or 95 and the tax module is within 180 days of the CSED. Reverse any TC 470 cc 90 or 93 with TC 472. TC 470 cc 95 is input when a taxpayer files a Civil Penalty Appeal. It suspends the CSED until Appeals makes a decision regarding the taxpayer's personal liability for unpaid trust fund taxes. After Appeals' decision, a TC 550 is input to correct the CSED and TC 470 cc 95 is reversed. For TC 470 cc 95 see IRM 5.19.10.5.3, Accounts Maintenance Claim Pending (AM06W) Transcripts.

# Notices of Potential Manual Penalty/Interest Adjustment (CP 86 and CP 186)

5.19.10.5.7 (07-01-2025) Notices of Potential Manual Penalty/Interest Adjustment (CP 86 and CP 186) The CP 86/186 Notice generates when: A payment transaction posts to a module and the credit amount is greater than the assessed module balance due amount, and There is an interest or penalty computation restriction present An account is transferred in from the Retention Register with Doc Code 51 or 52 An additional CP 86/186 Notice generates when subsequent credits post and the same situation as above is present. The AM function will work all CP 86/186s other than those meeting CSCO criteria. Note: The Retention Register contains all entity and tax modules removed from the Master File. Basic criteria for removal include: zero module balance, no freeze or unsettled condition(s) present, no activity to the module for 27 months. Collection Operations will only work collection related issues, all others should be routed to the appropriate operation. Reminder: For accounts containing a TC 582 Federal Tax Lien, see IRM 5.19.10.5.1(12), General Procedures For All Transcripts. Conditions which create restrictions are: Interest has previously been manually assessed (TC 340) or abated (TC 341) FTP penalty has previously been manually assessed (TC 270) or abated (TC 271) Any transferred in transaction (Doc. Code 51 or 52 posted) Assessed fraud penalty (TC 320) See IRM 20.2.1.4.2, Manual Calculation of Interest, and IRM 20.2.5.6.1, Reasons to Manually Compute Interest, for other conditions that restrict interest from being systemically computed. Fiduciary return Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, assessed as an installment account (ST 14) Form 706, U.S. Estate Tax Return, assessed as an installment account (ST 14) Verify the appropriate disaster declaration by accessing the Disaster Declarations/FEMA at Disaster Assistance Information.

# Processing CP 86 and CP 186

5.19.10.5.7.1 (02-18-2023) Processing CP 86 and CP 186 Analyze the module and re-compute the interest and/or penalty using CC COMPA or COMPAF per IRM 20.2, Interest, and IRM 20.1, Penalty Handbook, and follow appropriate procedures. Determine what TC restricted the module. Request return and source documents if necessary. Note: The Automated Computational Tool (ACT) is a customized version of the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) InterestNet software, published by Decision Modeling Incorporated (DMI), specifically designed for the needs of the IRS. It, along with IDRS Command Code (CC) COMPA, is one of the two approved computational tools for manually calculating interest. ACT should not, however, be used for the official computation of a penalty. Its usage is limited to explaining a penalty computation, after the accuracy of that computation has been verified using IDRS command codes. If an unreversed TC 480 or TC 780 is present on the module, document AMS and close the control. If the TC 780 was reversed with a TC 781 refer to (5) below. If the offer was withdrawn (TC 482), rejected (TC 481) or erroneously posted (TC 483) refer to (4) below. If an unreversed TC 520 is on the account, refile any returns associated with notices and close the control. If the TC 520 was reversed with a TC 521, refer to (4) below. Anytime debit interest is manually computed, it is necessary to recompute the entire tax module to ensure an accurate computation is made. See IRM 20.2.5.6.2, Manual Computations. If additional interest or penalty is due, input an adjustment transaction to assess the additional amount using CC REQ54. Use a non-restricting TC 340 whenever possible , see IRM 20.2.5.6.3, Non-Restricting Transaction Code (TC) 340. Caution should be taken when there is a 120% interest charge on the account. Note: The 120% interest, also known as Tax Motivated Transaction (TMT) interest, was repealed for returns due after 1989. See IRM 20.2.5.9, Tax Motivated Transaction (TMT) Interest, for more information. If the account was previously in ST 60, refer to IRM 5.19.10.10.2.1, Full Paid Restricted Interest and Penalty Accounts, for processing. Provide necessary feedback to the IAAL Operation. If the account has a TC 270 or TC 271 on the module, it is a restricted account. Verify the percentage of the FTP penalty. If the FTP penalty maximum percentage has been assessed, input a TC 971 AC 262. Refer to IRM 21.3.1.6.37, CP 86 Restricted Interest/Penalty Conditions. To remove the prior restriction and allow automatic generation of the FTP Penalty by Master File, refer to IRM 20.1.2.2.5, Manual Penalty Adjustments. When adjusting penalty/interest, use blocking series 05 for CP 86 and 15 for CP 186. The penalty and interest computation should be used as the source document. Refer to IRM 20.2.1.4.2.1, Manual Calculation of Interest - Documentation. If there is a credit on the account and no additional interest or penalty is due, input TC 290 for a zero amount with blocking series 05 for IMF accounts, 15 for BMF accounts and Hold Code (HC) 3 using CC REQ54, as a NSD. A source document is needed when you have the original return, use blocking series 00. Note: If no additional interest or penalty is due and the credit has been resolved and the account is in ST 12, do not input a TC 290 for zero. If the account has a prior CNC, input under twelve months, a new liability or liabilities may generally be closed without further investigation for an amount up to (total of all modules)≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, including previous CNC modules. Note: Managerial approval is required for the new closure. See IRM 5.19.17.2.2, CNC Managerial Approval.

# Non-Master File Liability (NMFL) Transcripts

5.19.10.5.8 (06-01-2018) Non-Master File Liability (NMFL) Transcripts The Non-Master File Liability (NMFL) transcripts are generated when a second credit posts to a module after issuance of a CP 44 and the V− freeze created by the TC 130 remains on the taxpayer's account. When a TC 740 posts to the transcript module and creates a credit balance, the NMFL transcript will generate. If the transcript cannot be resolved within 14 days from the computer notice date, control the transcript using Category Code CP 44 and enter "NMFL" in the history section of the control base. If the module contains a TC 608 process following IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts. Do not process following normal NMFL Transcript procedures.

# Electronic Spousal Payment (ELECSPPAY) Transcripts

5.19.10.5.10 (04-20-2022) Electronic Spousal Payment (ELECSPPAY) Transcripts An ELECSPPAY Transcript generates to Brookhaven CSCO AMS when an electronic payment posts to the secondary taxpayer's account and the module meets certain conditions. The electronic payments include TC 670s with an EFT trace number beginning with 21, 22, 23, 26 and 27 (except paper checks converted for electronic processing (RS-PCC) and electronic levies.) An ELECSPPAY Transcript generates when the following criteria is met: The payment posts to a module that contains no TC 150 (original or SFR) and may have at least one TC 594 CC 84 present with different cross reference SSNs, or A systemic attempt to transfer the payment to a joint balance due module using TC 667/TC 666 fails. Master File attempted to transfer the spousal payment to the primary taxpayer module where the joint liability should reside and Possible results: No account exists under the primary number The transfer-to account is in the process of removal from Master File or is being merged The transfer-to module has a posted return but is not in debit balance (Status is not 21 or greater) A condition is present that will cause the transfer-in to unpost (i.e., a CI freeze is on the module.) Tax examiners working these transcripts will determine if the payment has posted to the correct account and resolve the payment through research or by contacting the taxpayer. Refer to IRM 21.5.8.4, IDRS Guidelines for Credit Transfers, for procedures when moving credits.

# Processing ELECSPPAY Transcripts

5.19.10.5.10.1 (04-20-2022) Processing ELECSPPAY Transcripts Analyze IDRS to identify the credit that generated the transcript. Update AMS with closing actions. Identify credit card payments by the number "6" in fourth position of the Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). Follow procedures in IRM 5.19.10.5.10.2, Credit Card Payments. Update AMS with closing actions. Refer to chart below: If... And... Then... Credit on account balance due module is found under primary or secondary account transfer credit to account with TC 150 posted using IAT Tool. Note: If delay in posting credit to balance due module has caused an installment agreement to suspend or default, follow procedures in IRM 5.19.1.6.4.19(6), Revision/Reinstatement of IAs, to reinstate IA if defaulted due to IRS error. Credit on account pending assessment is located transfer credit and put hold on tax module. Example: Open AUR with TC 922, CP 2000 on AMS, -A freeze with open IDRS control, or -L freeze with EXAM report. Credit on MFT 30 account there is a MFT 31 account transfer credit to the taxpayer's MFT 31 account where the transcript generated. Credit on account accounts are full paid, both primary and secondary transfer credit to a recently full paid module to allow refund. Transcript has balance due payment was previously transferred systemically and by manual credit transfer input credit transfer using IAT Credit Transfer Tool from the tax period that was credited in error to the tax period debited in error. A duplicate transfer has caused an erroneous refund no other issues follow erroneous refund procedures in IRM 21.4.5, Erroneous Refunds. All transferable credits have been resolved no other issues close the transcript, no action.

# Credit Card Payments

5.19.10.5.10.2 (09-13-2022) Credit Card Payments The IRS accepts electronic credit card payments for both IMF and BMF accounts. You can identify these payments by either: The number "6" in the 4th position of the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) number A Document Code 19 TC 610, TC 660, TC 670 Note: See IRM 21.5.6.4.35.1, -R Freeze with Credit Card Payments for more information. To research and resolve a credit card payment: Fax to the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) technicians at ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ the page of TXMOD that contains the payment to be researched. The technician will contact the credit card company for the information and fax it back. Monitor the case for two weeks, if no response from technician, fax a second request and monitor an additional two weeks. . See IRM 3.12.179.7.6, Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) and Credit Card and Electronic Funds Withdrawal Payments, for more information. Upon receipt of documentation from the technician, research NAMEI or Accurint to identify the originator of the credit card payment. If the taxpayer truly authorized the credit card payment(s), take any necessary action to apply the payment and release the -R freeze, if appropriate. If the response from the credit card processor has a name and SSN that match your taxpayer, send Letter 1687-C, Unidentified Payment/Credit, to determine how to resolve the credit if there is no current or recent balance due. If the credit card processor could not provide any information within 30 days or was unable to provide enough information to identify the originator of the credit card payment, transfer the credit to the XSF or URF per IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures for All Transcripts. If the payment belongs to another taxpayer, transfer the credit to the appropriate account. Refer to IRM 21.2.4.3.10, Applying Unresolved Credits for AMRH, for more information.

# Processing NOMRG-TDA Transcript

5.19.10.5.11.1 (07-01-2025) Processing NOMRG-TDA Transcript Control the case on IDRS to category NMRG. Cases involving multiple taxpayers using the same Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) are classified generally as mixed entity, Scrambled SSN cases, or True Scrambled SSN. Refer to IRM 21.6.2, Adjusting TIN-Related Problems, for detailed information. Reassign the control base to a specialized control number per IRM 21.5.2.3, Adjustment Guidelines – Research. If... Then... TIN is a scrambled SSN. See IRM 25.23.4.3.4 , IDTVA-C - Case Referrals from Compliance Functions. Do not make corrections to the account. Enter history on AMS and close the case. Account has identity theft issues, identified by the presence of TC 971 AC 501 or 506. See IRM 25.23.2.4.1, Tracking and Reporting Identity Theft Cases - Identity Theft Indicators . Do not make corrections to the account. Enter history on AMS and close the case. See IRM 21.3.4.28, Identity Theft – Issues. If it is a true No Merge (duplicate tax periods on the valid and invalid side and both carry a TC 150) Do not change the address and location code. Do not attempt to merge. Prepare Form 4442, Inquiry Referral, and route to Brookhaven IDTVA following procedures in IRM 21.6.2.4.1, Reassignment of NMRG Cases due to Site Specialization. If you have access to e4442s through AMS, follow paragraph (4). If you do not have access to e4442s, follow (5) and fax manually. Update AMS with comments that case was routed to Brookhaven IDTVA. Analyze the account to determine which IRS operation or function should be contacted to advise them of the no merge issue (ACS, RO). If... Then... Both sides are in ST 22/22, 22/TDI or 22/24 Contact the ACS Support and Status 22 TAS Liaisons on SERP Who/Where. Advise them to release the levy until after the merge. Both sides are in ST 26/26, 26/TDI or 26/24 and not assigned to an RO (The last two digits of the Collection assignment code on CC TXMOD are "00" .) No contact is necessary. Resume processing in (6) below. Both sides are in ST 26/26, 26/TDI or 26/24 and are assigned to an RO. The last two digits of the assignment number will be 01 – 99, (except 96). Refer to SERP Who/Where, RO by TSIGN/ZIP/STATE for contact information. Contact the assigned RO(s) by phone to notify them of the pending merge. If the RO does not answer, leave a message with a brief explanation, your name and telephone number. Continue processing the case. Accounts are in ST 22/26 Follow the procedures in boxes 1 through 3 above. One or both sides are in ST 72 Contact Insolvency, see SERP Who/Where, Insolvency (Bankruptcy) Tools to determine if the TC 520 is still open or should be closed. If Insolvency indicates the TC 520 should be closed, ask when the TC 521 will be input and monitor the account for that period. If the TC 520 is still open after monitoring or Insolvency indicates TC 520 is still open, do not attempt to merge. If unable to contact Insolvency and after leaving a message, you do not receive a response within 21 days, do not attempt to merge. Input AMS history and close the case. Both sides are in ST 24/24 or 24/TDI No contact is necessary. Resume processing in (6) below. One or both sides are in ST 60. Changes to the location code and merging of the account will cause the IA to default. To prevent a default notice from issuing, manually default the IA using CC IADFL. See IRM 2.4.30, Command Codes IAGRE, IAORG, IAPND, IAREV, IADFL, and, IADIS. Use Default Category "Other" and Suppress Default Indicator "1" . For Direct Debit Installment Agreements, (DDIA), check CC EFTAD per IRM 5.19.1.8.6.1, Requests to Skip a Direct Debit Installment Agreement (DDIA) Payment, to turn off the next payment, if needed. Enter the bank information from CC EFTAD onto AMS for re-input to CC IAGRE after the merge. For Payroll Deduction Installment Agreements (PDIA), enter the payer information from the CC IAGRE onto AMS for re-input after the merge. Follow with CC STAUP 22 09. Update AMS history, "IA defaulted to merge TINs. Will reinstate IA after merge" . If the valid and invalid TINs are different numbers, use CC IMFOLE to research both the valid and invalid TINs. Determine which has the MOST CURRENT address and location code information. See IRM 3.13.5, Individual Master File (IMF) Account Numbers. If... Then... MOST CURRENT information is on the invalid TIN Continue processing in (7) below. Make the necessary changes to the valid TIN MOST CURRENT information is on the valid TIN Move the invalid TIN to an Internal Revenue Service Number (IRSN). IMPORTANT: Input CC IMFOLB to restore all retention modules to Master File on both sides. If retention modules are not returned to Master File prior to moving the account to the IRSN, those modules will no longer be accessible. The format for CC IMFOLB is the same as CC IMFOLT. See IRM 2.3.51.4, Restoring RRR Tax Modules to Master File. After CC IMFOLB input, monitor for the posting of TC 013 and TC 370 before proceeding. Use CC TMSSNI to order a temporary number. See IRM 2.4.59, Command Code TMSSN. Using CC ENREQ, input TC 041 on the invalid TIN to move it to the new IRSN. Make the following changes per (6) through (12) to the IRSN TIN before merging the account to the valid TIN. The following changes can be made with one input using CC ENREQ, with the exception of BOD code changes. BOD code changes should be done last. Document your actions and contacts on AMS for both TINs. The account addresses must match on both the invalid and valid TIN. Correct the address to match the MOST CURRENT account. Location codes must match. Verify the location codes on each account and make corrections, if needed. The name control must be valid per CC INOLES. If the name control on the invalid segment does not match the valid SSA name controls, you may need to validate the name to merge the accounts. Refer to Document 7071, Name Control Job Aid for Individual Master File (IMF) Taxpayers. Only change the name for the most recent return filed. Hyphenate the valid name with the invalid name. Put a bracket before the last name. Use the year of the return and the proper filing status (FS) from CC TXMOD or IMFOLT. This will generate a TC 013 on ENMOD. If the TIN requires correction, follow these procedures. If the invalid TIN is a different number than the valid TIN process as follows: Use CC INCHG on the invalid TIN to input the correct TIN. The above action will generate TC 011 on CC ENMOD. The name controls must match. If the four digit location code still does not match after CC ENREQ has posted, follow the procedures below. Change the CLC to match the MOST CURRENT account. Only the last two digits of the location code can be changed. Use CC ENREQ. If necessary, refer to the Universal Location Code (ULC) and Area Office (AO) in the Job Aid Book on SERP. Use CC ENREQ and Doc Code 50. In order to merge two related accounts, their BOD Codes must match. Make the necessary changes to the BOD Code on the MOST CURRENT account. Use CC REQ77 (overlaid on CC ENMOD). Input TC 971 AC 050. Use the CURRENT date as the transaction date and input the appropriate BOD Code. If the invalid TIN and valid TIN are the same number and none of the above conditions apply, input TC 041 via CC ENREQ. On the "FROM" account, the message is "MERGE IN PROGRESS-LOSING ACCOUNT" . On the "TO" account, the message is "MERGE IN PROGRESS-GAINING ACCOUNT" . It can take several weeks before the merge is complete. Monitor the module until the merge is complete. After the merge or re sequencing transaction is input, If the account was in ST 22 or 26 prior to the merge, input CC STAUP 22 00 to return the account to it's original status. If the account was in ST 60 prior to the merge, re-input the IA. Do not charge a reinstatement fee. Close your IDRS control base. On accounts dealing with ITINs, follow IRM 3.21.263.7.1.33, Merges Involving ITIN, to have the ITIN revoked.

# NOMRG − CPNL and REVAL − CPNL Transcript

5.19.10.5.12 (02-01-2014) NOMRG − CPNL and REVAL − CPNL Transcript The "No Merge" is a result of the revalidation of the SSN. A complete transcript of both the "FROM" and "TO" accounts will generate when the "FROM" account contains a Civil Penalty Name Line and the name control of the Civil Penalty Name Line does not match the "TO" account name control. This is a No-Merge RC 19. Determine the correct name control through research of IDRS. Correct the name line and name control via CC INCHG. Use TC 040 for a correction to the valid TIN and TC 041 for a correction to the invalid TIN. Update AMS and close the case.

# Pending Installment Agreement Transcripts

5.19.10.5.14 (07-01-2025) Pending Installment Agreement Transcripts A pending IA transcript generates when there is an unreversed pending IA (TC 971 AC 043) for the following situations: A TC 971 AC 043 has been open for over 26 weekly cycles, unless a module is in status 26 (assigned to a revenue officer), or a bankruptcy or collection due process is posted. A bankruptcy or collection due process is reopened without resolving a TC 971 AC 043 after 26 cycles. A module updates from status 12 to any other status without resolving a TC 971 AC 043 within 26 cycles unless it is updated to status 26. A pending IA CNC Transcript generates when a module is closed as currently not collectible (TC530) with an unreversed TC 971 AC 043. A pending IA status 26 transcript generates when a module is moved from status 26 to status 24 with an unreversed TC 971 AC 043. The purpose of the transcripts is to determine the proper disposition of the unresolved pending IA. The transcript must be worked within 45 business days. A transcript will continue to generate every 12 cycles until the unreversed pending IA is resolved, unless the AMS transcript is unresolved.

# Processing Pending IA Transcripts

5.19.10.5.14.1 (07-01-2025) Processing Pending IA Transcripts Confirm TC 971 AC 043 is unreversed for all modules. If TC 971 AC 043 is reversed (followed by a TC 972 AC 043 or TC 971 AC 063), no action is required. Close the transcript. If a module has an open control for an IA request, email the employee assigned to the module to advise of the unreversed pending IA. Cc the manager. No additional action is required, close the pending IA transcript. For any other open controls see IRM 5.19.5.7.1.4, Processing cases with Open Control Bases on TXMODA for additional information. Note: An open control for an IA request may have the following activity codes: IAPND, INDREV, IAREJMMDD, or IAREJXXXX. For status 22 accounts, if the account is assigned to S5, R5, or R6 inventory listing and there is no expired suspense date, no additional action is required. Close the pending IA transcript. Determine if referral/redirect is required for IA request. See IRM 5.19.1.4.1, Account Actions Referral/Redirects. Example: Account has modules in status 22 with an unreversed pending IA. However, amount owed exceeds ACS authority levels. Follow procedures in IRM 5.19.1.4.1, Account Actions on Referral/ Redirects, to refer the account to the field. Close out the transcript after transferring the account to the field. Example: Account has modules in status 53. Pending IA was input after TC 530 and TC 531 is input to reverse the TC 530, see IRM 5.19.10.5.14.1(9), Processing Pending IA Transcripts. However, account exceeds CSCO authority levels. Transfer the transcript to ACSS after TC 531 and STAUP 2200 is input. If there is no open control for an IA request or an expired suspense date on S5, R5 or R6 inventory listing, and no referral/redirect is required, research AMS, TXMODA and ENMOD, history to verify pending IA criteria is met. See IRM 5.19.1.6.4.7, Pending IA Criteria. Note: If TXMODA research shows module was previously in status 26 when TC 971 AC 043 was input transfer account to the field and close out the transcript. See IRM 5.19.10.5.14.1.3, Pending IA ST 26 Transcript. If the original request does not meet pending IA criteria, see IRM 5.19.1.6.4.7.1, Requests Not Meeting Pending IA Criteria, for procedures on advising the taxpayer that their request does not meet pending IA criteria. After Letter 2272-C, Installment Agreement (IA) Cannot be Considered/ Extension to Pay Cannot be Considered, is mailed, input a TC 972 AC 043 with the same transaction date as the unreversed TC 971 AC 043. Close the transcript. If there is no account history of a pending IA request, mail Letter 2272-C, Installment Agreement (IA) Cannot be Considered/Extension to Pay Cannot be Considered. Use open paragraph provided by HQ for this scenario until the letter can be updated. After Letter 2272C is mailed, input a TC 972 AC 043 with the same transaction date as the unreversed TC 971 AC 043. Follow procedures in IRM 5.19.1.6.4.7.1(6), Requests Not Meeting Pending IA Criteria, to reassign the account. Close the transcript. Private Debt Collection (PDC) cases should be worked as normal. The account will be systemically recalled when the account meets one of the PDC exclusion in IRM 5.19.1.5.20.3.1, Legislative Exclusions to Private Debt Collection Criteria. Review the account status to determine the next action to work the transcript: If module status is... And... Then... 43 and 44 (combat zone and military deferment) TC 971 AC 043 transaction date is before an unreversed TC 500 No action is required. The pending IA request should not be worked while the taxpayer is in a combat zone or military deferment.

# CSED Issues and Pending IA Transcript

5.19.10.5.14.1.4 (04-24-2026) CSED Issues and Pending IA Transcript The CSED is suspended while the IA request is pending. See IRM 5.1.19.3.5, Installment Agreements (IAs). However, a TC 971 AC 043 does not cause a blank CSED on IDRS. Therefore, the CSED may erroneously expire if the TC 971 AC 043 is not resolved before the CSED. If the CSED erroneously expires and a module is now in status 12, continue to process the pending IA request. See IRM 5.19.10.5.14.1, Processing Pending IA Transcripts, If the pending IA request is processable, follow procedures in IRM 5.19.1.6.4, Installment Agreements (IAs) to process the request.

Note: If approving the IA request, input a TC 972 AC 043 to the status 12 module before establishing the IA to allow IDRS to systemically update the CSED and reestablish the module on IDRS.

# Combat Zone Accounts

5.19.10.6 (10-10-2023) Combat Zone Accounts The IAT tools as listed in IRM 5.19.10.1.7, Related Resources must be used by Campus Compliance employees for procedures outlined in this IRM. When an action must be taken and an IAT tool is available, Campus Compliance employees with access to the tool are required to use it to complete the action. Note: If an IAT tool is not functioning properly or it is determined not to be appropriate due to a specific situation, the case should be worked without the tool, using IDRS. For more information on each tool as well as a job aid for each tool see the IAT Website. This subsection provides definitions and procedures for working combat zone (CZ) accounts. IRC 112, Certain Combat Zone Compensation of Members of the Armed Forces, and IRC 7508, Time For Performing Certain Acts Postponed by Reason of Service in Combat Zone or Contingency Operation, provide for certain tax benefits applying to individuals serving in a CZ. These provisions can be triggered by: A Presidential Executive Order designating a CZ. The CZ period ends when the Executive Order is rescinded. The Department of Defense (DoD) may certify an area as being in direct support of military operations in a CZ. The Secretary of Defense designates a military operation as a Contingency Operation (CO) in which members of the armed forces are or may be involved in military actions, operations or hostilities or a CO results from a call to active duty or retention on active duty during a war or national emergency declared by the President or Congress. Congress passing a law designating an area as a Qualified Hazardous Duty Area (QHDA). The following IRC Sections are also CZ related: IRC 2(a) (3), Definitions And Special Rules, relating to the special rule where a deceased spouse was in missing status: See IRM 5.19.1.5.3, Deceased Taxpayers IRC 692, Income Taxes of Members of Armed Forces, Astronauts, and victims of Certain Terrorist Attacks on Death, relating to income taxes of members of the U.S. Armed Forces upon death. See IRM 5.1.7.10, Accounts of Taxpayers Who Serve in a Combat Zone. IRC 2201, Combat Zone Related Deaths of Members of the Armed Forces, Deaths of Astronauts, and Deaths of Victims of Certain Terrorist Attacks, relating to estates of members of the U.S. Armed Forces dying in a CZ or by reason of CZ incurred wounds, etc. IRC 4253(d), Exemptions, relating to taxation of phone service originating from members of the U.S. Armed Forces in a CZ. IRC 6013(f)(1), Joint Returns of Income Tax By Husband and Wife, relating to a joint return where an individual is in missing status. See IRM 5.19.10.6.1, Combat Zone Exclusion of Income, for information on military income that is not taxable. See IRM 5.19.10.6.2, Combat Zone Qualified Individuals and Areas, for information on taxpayers who qualify for the tax exclusions and a list of current combat zones. Note: Currently, the IRS is not requiring proof of receipt of combat pay or hazardous duty pay for military personnel serving in direct support but outside a CZ, CO or QHDA. See IRM 5.19.10.6.4, Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period, for the time periods allowed for the CZ suspense period.

# Combat Zone Exclusion of Income

5.19.10.6.1 (03-23-2020) Combat Zone Exclusion of Income For enlisted personnel, IRC 112, Certain Combat Zone Compensation of Members of the Armed Forces, excludes from gross income certain pay an enlisted military member, warrant officer, or a commissioned warrant officer of the Armed Forces receives for active service: In a CZ While hospitalized as a result of wounds, disease or injury incurred while so serving in a CZ. This shall not apply for any month beginning more than two years after the date of the termination of combatant activity in such a zone. For commissioned officers, the amount of pay excluded is limited to the maximum enlisted amount per month, plus imminent danger/hostile fire pay. For additional information, see Publication 3, Armed Forces' Tax Guide. The exclusion from gross income is effective from the date of the CZ designation until the area is no longer designated as a CZ. Certain members of the Armed Forces outside the designated CZ can qualify for the CZ exclusion of the income. To qualify, they must: Serve in direct support of military operations in the designated zone and Qualify for imminent danger/hostile fire pay The exclusion for both enlisted personnel and commissioned officers is reflected on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, prepared by the military member's assigned Finance and Accounting Office. The DoD determines who serves in direct support of the designated CZ military operation and issues a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, correctly reflecting taxable income. Civilians may not exclude the income earned while working in a CZ unless they can qualify on Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income.

# Combat Zone Incorrect W–2 and Interest on Refunds

5.19.10.6.1.1 (09-13-2022) Combat Zone Incorrect W–2 and Interest on Refunds Military personnel having problems with Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, must contact their employer. The IRS does not correct Form W–2, Wage and Tax Statement, information. Taxpayers must provide corrected Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, with an amended return before a balance due account can be adjusted. Individual taxpayers who have served in a combat zone are excepted from the interest-free periods of IRC 6611(e), Interest and Overpayments, as long as their tax return is timely filed (determined by taking into account the combat zone suspension period≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡). If And Then Master File (MF) -C freeze is on the module being adjusted. The original tax return for the module being adjusted was timely filed, determined by taking into account the combat zone suspension period (including consideration of the ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡). See IRM 20.2.7.11.1, Time Disregarded by Reason of Combat Zone Service, for making the calculation. An overpayment resulting from the Form W-2 adjustment is not subject to the interest-free periods of IRC 6611(e), Interest and Overpayments. Enable payment of interest the taxpayer is due by not entering an amended claims date (AMD-CLMS-DT). Note: Whether the return is processable when it's received by the date described in paragraph 3 above is immaterial when making the determination. Note: Follow normal adjustment procedures (AMD-CLMS-DT entry) when the taxpayer is ineligible for interest-free period exclusion.

# Combat Zone Freeze Code

5.19.10.6.3 (04-20-2022) Combat Zone Freeze Code The CZ –C freeze code is an entity freeze code that remains on the account for historical purposes, even with input of accurate entry and exit dates. The −C freeze can be set by a TC 500 in the following ways: DoD – A monthly systemic download places a TC 500 with an entry or exit date Processing of an original or amended tax return where the taxpayer self-identifies by writing Serving in Desert Storm/Shield, Bosnia, former Yugoslavia, Allied Force, Afghanistan, Enduring Freedom, or Haiti. Manual input of TC 500 DoD sends IRS a monthly listing of Combat Zone entry/exit dates for taxpayers who are deployed to a Combat Zone area. This is a systemic download by IT. If the taxpayer does not have an established Master File account, the TIN will fall-out to an error listing, which is stored on Control-D. Every six months the report must be retrieved from Control-D and run through a GII Tool. Kansas City Collections pulls the error listings to process. Beginning October 2021, IT runs the current monthly error listings, but Kansas City should continue running the GII Tool for listings received prior to October 2021. Research the error listing on IDRS for taxpayer account information. If the taxpayer account is found on IDRS, the tool will input a TC 500 with the date. If no taxpayer account is found on IDRS, the tool will retain TIN for the next run. The GII Tool must be run every six months. If there is an issue with the tool, manual research must be completed. The following chart lists TC 500 closing codes for entry date, closing codes for exit date and identifies the designated CZ: TC 500 Closing Code (Entry Date) TC 500 Closing Code (Exit Date) Designated Combat Zone 52 53 Desert Storm Operation Joint Endeavor/ Haiti/Operation Unified Response 54 55 Bosnia/Yugoslavia/ Operation Allied Forces 56 57 Iraq/ Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan/Iraqi Freedom/New Dawn 58 59 Hospitalization caused by a Combat Zone injury There are two new closing codes for use with the TC 500 Military Deferment, and a new indicator code for IMFOLE. Specifically a CC 58 and CC 59 for the TC 500 and an indicator 3 for IMFOLE. The new TC 500 CC 58 will be used when a combat zone veteran has been hospitalized due to injuries sustained in a combat zone. Upon input of the TC 500 CC 58 an indicator 3 will systemically update to IMFOLE signifying that the taxpayer is hospitalized. Upon their exit from the hospital a new TC 500 CC 59 will be input, and IMFOLE will systemically update to an indicator 2 (no longer in a combat zone). The TC 500 CC 58 will mirror the existing functionality of the TC 500 CC 52/54/56 by extending the ASED, suspending interest and penalties, and preventing collection, however, it will not prevent the extension of the CSED for the duration of hospitalization. The new TC 500 CC 59 will mirror the existing functionality of the 53/55/57 and allow for the re-entry into active collection 180 days from posting. See IRM 5.19.10.6.2, Combat Zone Qualified Individuals and Areas, for a detailed list of Presidentially Declared Combat Zones and Qualified Hazardous Duty Areas. The CZ –C freeze and indicators are located on CC IMFOLE, Line 11. Combat Zone Indicator Code Definition 0 Not a CZ participant 1 Active 2 Inactive 3 Taxpayer is hospitalized because of a Combat Zone injury Conflict indicator codes identify the CZ(s) where the taxpayer served. See IRM 2.3.51-13, Command Code IMFOL Output Display — Entity, for a breakdown of the Conflict Codes. Any balance due module will be in ST 43. The –C freeze suspends the following: Accrual of interest and FTP Penalty Assessment of Failure to File and Estimated Tax Penalties Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED) Refund Statute Expiration Date (RSED) Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) Note: The CSED is systemically updated when the exit date posts. Collection actions, including levy, lien, seizure, balance due notices Postpones examination and audits of returns For more information regarding the length of suspension, see IRM 5.19.10.6.4, Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period.

# Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period

5.19.10.6.4 (02-08-2023) Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period The start date of the CZ suspense period begins on the transaction date of the TC 500 Closing Code 52, 54, 56 or 58 (CZ entry date). The ending date of the suspense period is calculated 180 days from the transaction date of the TC 500 Closing Code 53, 55, 57 or 59 (CZ). The 180 days begin on the day following the CZ exit date. If a taxpayer serves multiple tours of duty in a CZ, and there are less than 180 days between the different tours, add the 180 days to the end of the last exit date. Once the entry and exit dates are present, the balance due accounts systemically return to normal processing when the 180 day suspense period expires. The CSED is suspended from the entry date to the exit date plus 180 days. No additional days are added to the CSED suspension for time served during a filing season. The CSED is NOT suspended during any period of continuous qualified hospitalization as a result of injury received while serving in the combat zone or contingency operation and the following 180 days. Refer to IRC 7508(e)(3), Time for Performing Certain Acts Postponed by Reason of Service in Combat Zone or contingency Operation. The RDD is extended by up to an additional 105 days (106 in a leap year) if the taxpayer was in the CZ during any part of the filing season. The RDD is calculated systemically. If the taxpayer was in the CZ more than one filing season, the RDD is calculated separately for each tax year. Applicable P&I charges are also determined based on the recomputed RDD. Example: For a taxpayer in the CZ at any time between January 1 and April 15 of the year in which the return was due, the taxpayer has until 180 days after CZ exit, plus the number of days remaining in the filing season in order to file their tax return. See IRM 20.2.7.11.1, Time Disregarded by Reason of Combat Zone Service, for information on computing interest and FTP. For computing FTP penalty, see IRM 20.2.7.11, IRC 7508, Combat Zone.

Provide the taxpayer with the requirements for submitting payments per IRM 5.19.1.2.7.1, Taxpayer Responsibilities - When Submitting Payments by Check or Money Order.

# Combat Zone Payoff Amount

5.19.10.6.5.7 (09-13-2022) Combat Zone Payoff Amount For AM Toll-free ONLY, follow IRM 20.2.1.6, Interest Computation Tools and Reports: Systemically Calculated Interest, if the taxpayer is requesting a balance. For all others, follow the procedures below. Beginning in 2012, military orders or other documentation are required for entry dates of 2010 and later. Documentation is not required for dates provided by the DoD. If entry date is 2010 or later, follow IRM 5.19.10.6.2, Combat Zone Qualified Individuals and Areas. When the taxpayer provides documentation such as military orders, discharge from active duty or other: Refer to IRM 5.19.10.7.2.4(2), Taxpayer Responds to Letter 2761C, for additional information regarding what dates to use. If there is a posted TC 500 date for which the taxpayer is responding and it is incorrect, remove it with TC 502 and input the correct dates. For accounts with Combat indicator "1" , ensure the CZ status is correct before figuring a current balance. Follow IRM 5.19.10.7.2.2, Combat Zone Research, and IRM 5.19.10.7.2.3, Resolving Combat Zone Accounts. On active CZ participants only (Combat indicator "1" ), compute the payoff balance due (including accruals) to the date of the TC 500 Closing Code 52, 54, or 56 (CZ entry date). CC INTST will provide the correct amount if the taxpayer is still in the combat zone. If the balance due posts while the taxpayer is in the CZ, the assessed balance is the total amount owed, if full paid before the suspense period ends. See IRM 5.19.10.6.4, Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period. For inactive CZ participants, compute the payoff amount to the entry date, then resume after the suspense period. For FTP Penalty (with or without a G– freeze), determine the total amount of FTP already assessed. If it is at least 25% of the unpaid tax (minus prepaid credits) that was due by the return due date, no additional FTP is due. Otherwise, FTP must be manually calculated. See IRM 20.1.2, Failure To File/Failure To Pay Penalties. Interest will systemically resume on Master File (CC IMFOLT) once the CZ suspense period ends if: An unreversed TC 500 will restrict interest computation. The module has no other restricted interest freeze. See Document 6209, IRS Processing Codes and Information, Section 8A.4, Master File Freeze Codes and IDRS Status 48, for a list. There are no overlapping CZ tours of duty. Tours of duty are considered overlapping when the taxpayer exits a CZ and then returns to the CZ within 180 days of the exit date and There are no payments with an earlier date that posted after a TC 340 date that contains a computed interest amount. On the example below, Master File is unable to compute interest. Transaction Code Posted Date Transaction-Amount Cycle-Day TC 340 04/12/2004 (COMP-INT-AMT> 3,008.08 DB-CR-INT-TO-DT>03/22/2004) 328.71 200943 TC 670 03/10/2004 100.00- 200945 If you are providing a payoff amount to the taxpayer, CC INTST will provide a correct balance. However, if interest is still restricted, you must manually compute the interest and FTP accruals. See IRM 20.2.7.11.1, Time Disregarded by Reason of Combat Zone Service and IRM 20.2.7.11.2, Combat Zone Interest Suspension. CC INTST will not compute the accruals. For computing FTP penalty, see IRM 20.1.2.2.2.1, Combat Zone - IRC 7508. For inactive CZ participants (Combat indicator "2" ), refer to IRM 5.19.1.6.2, Can Full Pay Balance Due Now (Payoff), or IRM 5.19.1.6.3, Short Term payment Plan Within 180 Days . Update AMS history with information about the payoff request, balance due and CZ dates.

If the open CZ status can be resolved, input the corrections and monitor the account until the Combat indicator updates to "2" or "0" . Then follow (7) through (11) below. If the CZ suspense period is still open, research SC Status History, on CC TXMOD. If ST 6X is present followed by ST 43, the taxpayer had an IA before entering a CZ. When the CZ suspense period expires, the following occurs: Accrued FTP Penalty and interest is manually assessed. The IA is reinstated. The reinstatement/ restructuring IA User Fee is waived, unless the taxpayer owed a fee prior to entry into the CZ. A letter is sent to the taxpayer, providing a current balance due and the terms of the agreement. See IRM 5.19.10.10.14.3, IAAL Military Combat - Reinstatement of Installment Agreements, for more information. If the taxpayer did not have an IA, once the CZ suspense period expires, balance due notices to the taxpayer will resume. For accounts with Combat indicator "1" , take the following actions: If... Then... The taxpayer had an IA prior to the CZ suspense period Inform the taxpayer of the following: For phone: The IRS does not establish regular installment agreements for CZ participants but will accept any voluntary payments. 180 days following their exit date, the IA will be automatically reinstated. They will receive a letter informing them of the reinstatement, with a current balance due and the terms of the agreement. For correspondence: Follow the above by sending Letter 2272-C, Installment Agreement Cannot be Considered/Extension of Time to Pay Cannot be Considered, or Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. The taxpayer did not have an IA prior to the CZ suspense period Inform the taxpayer of the following: For phone: The IRS does not establish regular installment agreements for CZ participants but will accept any voluntary payments. 180 days following their exit date, they will begin receiving balance due notices requesting payment. They may request an IA or make a payment proposal, at that time. If they decide to full pay, they must call the toll-free number on their notice to obtain a current balance. For correspondence: Follow the above by sending Letter 2272-C, Installment Agreement (IA) Cannot be Considered/Extension to Pay Cannot be Considered, or Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. When the CZ suspense period expires, the balance due module goes to ST 46 for two cycles and then balance due notices resume (Notice Status). When the module is in ST 46, installment agreements or CC STAUP can be input. For accounts with Combat indicator "2" (balance due is in ST 46, Notice or TDA Status), follow procedures in IRM 5.19.1, Balance Due. If interest and penalty is restricted on a ST 60 IA module, the account will go to the Installment Agreement Accounts Listing (IAAL) when the assessed balance is full paid. Interest and penalty accruals will then be assessed and the IA reinstated. When setting up an IA on a CZ account, computation of interest and penalty is not required unless the taxpayer requests a balance. See IRM 5.19.10.10.2.1, Full Paid Restricted Interest and Penalty Accounts for more information. Update AMS history with information about the IA request and CZ dates.

# Combat Zone Transcripts

5.19.10.7 (09-13-2022) Combat Zone Transcripts The IAT tools as listed in IRM 5.19.10.1.7, Related Resources, must be used by Campus Compliance employees for procedures outlined in this IRM. When an action must be taken and an IAT tool is available, Campus Compliance employees with access to the tool are required to use it to complete the action. Note: If an IAT tool is not functioning properly or it is determined not to be appropriate due to a specific situation, the case should be worked without the tool, using IDRS. For more information on each tool as well as a job aid for each tool see the IAT Website. This subsection provides procedures for Combat Zone transcripts. These transcripts issue if a −C freeze is present on a taxpayer's account. "COMBATZON" transcripts issue when a delinquent balance due return is filed to assess Failure to File Penalty. Combat Zone Clean-Up transcripts issue each month for accounts with an unreversed CZ entry date two years and older. Employees research to resolve the open −C freeze condition or contact the taxpayer for more information. Throughout these procedures, the term "combat zone" may refer to a combat zone, contingency operation or QHDA. If a response is received to Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates, follow IRM 5.19.10.7.2, Combat Zone Clean-Up Transcript, to determine what action to take on the account. Refer to IRM 5.19.10.6, Combat Zone Accounts when working other taxpayer correspondence or phone calls and there is a −C freeze or the issue concerns a CZ, CO or QHDA. Combat Zone transcripts that have no compliance issues are worked by AM. SBSE CSCO works transcripts on balance due and return delinquency accounts.

# "COMBATZON" Transcript Procedures

5.19.10.7.1 (04-20-2022) "COMBATZON" Transcript Procedures A transcript, "COMBATZON" , is generated when a delinquent filed balance due return posts and a TC 160 is on the tax module due to a −C freeze. This TC restricts the Failure to File Penalty from computing. These transcripts are worked by SBSE CSCO in Kansas City. Research CC IMFOLE for the Combat indicator. If Combat indicator is... Definition... Take the following action... "1" The taxpayer is in a designated CZ Do not take any action. "2" The taxpayer exited a designated CZ Process the transcript and calculate failure-to-file penalty. See IRM 5.19.10.6.4, Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period. "0" Removed indicator entirely, no valid dates Determine if the TC 160 should be removed. If so, input TC 162 using CC REQ54 to allow the system to compute the penalty. "3" The taxpayer is hospitalized due to injury sustained in CZ Do not take any action.

# Combat Zone Clean-Up Transcript

5.19.10.7.2 (04-26-2019) Combat Zone Clean-Up Transcript Combat zone Clean-Up transcripts are generated each month and consist only of accounts with unreversed CZ entry dates two years and older. The total number of open CZ accounts are divided over a 12 month period. Example: If you are working transcripts with a received date of 11/22/13, the only accounts processed are those with a CZ entry date of 11/22/11 and earlier. The purpose of these transcripts is to monitor all accounts with an unreversed TC 500 cc 52, 54, 56 or 58 or accounts with a –C freeze set by the Computer Condition Codes (CCC)" K" or "Z" or Return Processing Code (RPC)" R" . There are two types of transcripts: Balance due and return delinquency worked by CSCO, identified by case Category Code "COCZ" . All others worked by Accounts Management, identified by case Category Code "AMCZ" . The transcripts are identified by the following literals: Unreversed TC 500 on TXMOD and IMFOLE or on IMFOLE only No TC 500 present anywhere. A −C freeze is present and was set by CCC "K," "Z" or RPC "R" and can be for any tax year.

# Combat Zone Clean-up Transcript Processing

5.19.10.7.2.1 (06-22-2018) Combat Zone Clean-up Transcript Processing Combat Zone transcripts are systemically controlled upon issuance. If a case is not systemically controlled, control the case on the CC TXMOD period of the earliest unreversed TC 500. Research IDRS/AMS to determine whether the case can be closed or if a letter should be sent. See IRM 5.19.10.7.2.2, Combat Zone Research, and IRM 5.19.10.7.2.3, Resolving Combat Zone Accounts. If contact with the taxpayer is needed to obtain the correct entry and exit dates, send Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. Suspend the account for 60 days. In the letter, give the taxpayer 45 days to respond. Follow IRM 5.19.10.7.2.5, Taxpayer Does Not Respond to Letter 2761C, if no response is received. Document each action taken on the case in AMS history. Include any dates provided by the taxpayer, the dates of any Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates, that were sent or any calls that were made. If a subsequent transcript issues the next year, the history may assist the employee in resolving the CZ condition without contacting the taxpayer.

# Combat Zone Research

5.19.10.7.2.2 (04-20-2022) Combat Zone Research The Combat indicator and controlling TC 500s can be found on CC IMFOLE. The Combat indicators are: "0" or blank = Not a CZ participant "1" = Active "2" = Inactive "3" = Combat Zone Hospitalization If working transcripts and Combat indicator is "0" or "2" . Close the case with no further action. If Combat indicator "1" has been open for less than two years (i.e., the most recent open TC 500 entry date on CC IMFOLE is less than two years) from the transcript date, do the following: Correct any other open TC 500s that are present if they can be resolved without taxpayer contact. Enter AMS history and close the case. The following chart lists TC 500 closing codes for entry date, closing codes for exit date and identifies the designated CZ: TC 500 Closing Code (Entry Date) TC 500 Closing Code (Exit Date) Designated Combat Zone 52 53 Operation Desert Storm/Operation Joint Endeavor/Haiti/Operation Unified Response 54 55 Bosnia/Yugoslavia/Operation Allied Forces 56 57 Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan/Iraqi Freedom/New Dawn 58 59 Combat Zone Hospitalization The new TC 500 CC 58 will be used when a combat zone veteran has been hospitalized due to injuries sustained in a combat zone. Upon input of the TC 500 CC 58 an indicator 3 will systemically update to IMFOLE signifying that the taxpayer is hospitalized. Upon their exit from the hospital a new TC 500 CC 59 will be input, and IMFOLE will systemically update to an indicator 2 ( no longer in a combat zone). The TC 500 CC 58 will mirror the existing functionality of the TC 500 CC 52/54/56 by extending the ASED, suspending interest and penalties, and preventing collection, however, it will not prevent the extension of the CSED for the duration of hospitalization. The new TC 500 CC 59 will mirror the existing functionality of the 53/55/57 and allow for the re-entry into active collection 180 days from posting. The source of the TC 500 on CC IMFOLE can be identified by the DLN. If the DLN... TC 500 was created... TC 500 Location Has all 8s or 9s in the 6th – 13th position.A TC 500 DLN with 8s posts for the non-participating spouse. TC 500 DLN with 9s posts for the spouse who participated in the CZ. Example: 28277-888-88888-x, 28277-999-99999-x. From DoD data sent each month. CC IMFOLE and the tax module that is prior to the year of entry. EXAMPLE: Taxpayer entered CZ in 2012. TC 500s generate to the 2011 tax period. Has a "2" in position 3 of the DLN. Position 4 and 5 carry the Document Code of the Form 1040 that was filed, which are 05 - 12, 21 or 22. (See Document 6209, IRS Processing Codes and Information, Master File Freeze Codes and IDRS Status 48, Section 2-2, List of Returns and Forms.) EXAMPLE: xx207-xxx-xxxxx-x, xx210-xxx-xxxxx-x When taxpayer noted "combat zone" on a tax return, amended return or e-filed return. The return was coded with CCC" K" , "Z " or RPC "R" . Note: Use of RPC "R" was disabled as of January 2007. CC IMFOLE only. The DLN and entry date of the TC 500 match the DLN and TC 150 date of the tax return on which the taxpayer self-identified. NOTE: CCC" K" sets cc 56, "Z" sets cc 52, RPC "R" sets cc 54. Has Doc Code "77" in positions 4 and 5. Positions 6 – 13 will be variable. EXAMPLE: xxx77-123-58349-x. By manual input using CC REQ77 CC IMFOLE Locate all open TC 500s on the account. Research the following: Research Make Note of the following Additional information CC IMFOLE Combat indicator code TC 500s open entry dates. TC 500 date and DLN, if TC 500 is a tax return DLN.

X-REF TINs Research IDRS and AMS f the Combat indicator on CC IMFOLE is "blank" or "0" discontinue research If Combat indicator is "1" or "2" , follow the same research path as above. Note: If another employee has an open Combat Zone Clean-Up transcript on the X-REF TIN, the employee with the earliest control date will work the primary and cross reference accounts. If needed, contact the employee with the other control base to coordinate. The losing employee will close their case on AMS as "Transferring an Open Control Base to Another - IDRS number, who has the earliest combat zone transcript." Input history item on IDRS (e.g. "H,SEEAMSHIST" ) and AMS history on the cross reference TIN account to alert the other caseworker.

# Resolving Combat Zone Accounts

5.19.10.7.2.3 (10-10-2023) Resolving Combat Zone Accounts After researching the account, follow the procedures below for resolving CZ accounts. Compare the TC 500 closing codes, entry, and exit dates to determine each CZ suspense period. All open TC 500s must be located and resolved (unless otherwise directed below), either by removal or the input of a TC 500 with a valid exit date. Follow the table to address ALL other unreversed TC 500s. Exception: For self-identified TC 500s created by coding a tax return CCC "K" or CCC "Z" , it is only necessary to address the one that is open on CC IMFOLE. Once the open one on CC IMFOLE is resolved, other unresolved return TC 500s will be ignored by Master File. If... And... Then... CC INOLES indicates the taxpayer is deceased Date of Death is prior to the CZ entry date. See procedures below for removing the TC 500. CC INOLES indicates the taxpayer is deceased Date of Death was after the CZ entry date and the taxpayer has a surviving spouse. See procedures below for sending Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. CC INOLES indicates the taxpayer is deceased Date of Death was after the CZ entry date and the taxpayer has no surviving spouse. Input a TC 500 cc 53, 55 or 57 exit date that is the earlier of the date of death or two years from the entry date. Date of birth on CC INOLES indicates the taxpayer was over 65 or under 18 at the time of CZ entry. No indication of military income for that year on CC IRPTR and no DoD dates around the same time frame. See procedures below for removing the TC 500. On accounts with entry dates for 1994 and prior There is no information on AMS or IDRS that provides a resolution of the open entry date. Input a TC 500 cc 53, 55 or 57 exit date that is two years from the entry date. Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE is from a tax return, i.e.: Open TC 500 has a return DLN or Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE and also on CC TXMOD along with a TC 976/977 (Form 1040X). Note: Research the Form 1040X on Correspondence Imaging System (CIS), if available. If there is nothing on the form that indicates the taxpayer is self-identifying, remove the related TC 500. See procedures below. The tax return TC 500 entry date open on CC IMFOLE is within 18 months of any DoD TC 500 dates present on CC IMFOLE See procedures below for removing the TC 500. Note: Only remove the tax return TC 500 that is open on CC IMFOLE. Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE is from a tax return, i.e.: Open TC 500 has a return DLN or Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE and also on CC TXMOD along with a TC 976/977 (Form 1040X). Note: Research the Form 1040X on Correspondence Imaging System (CIS), if available. If there is nothing on the form that indicates the taxpayer is self-identifying, remove the related TC 500. See procedures below. The tax return TC 500 open on CC IMFOLE was late filed and any DoD TC 500 dates present on CC IMFOLE fall within the tax year of the return See procedures below for removing the TC 500. Note: Only remove the tax return TC 500 that is open on CC IMFOLE. Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE is from a tax return, i.e.: Open TC 500 has a return DLN or Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE and also on CC TXMOD along with a TC 976/977 (Form 1040X). Note: Research the Form 1040X on Correspondence Imaging System (CIS), if available. If there is nothing on the form that indicates the taxpayer is self-identifying, remove the related TC 500. See procedures below. The tax return CZ TC 500 entry date open on CC IMFOLE is more than 18 months from any DoD TC 500 dates present on CC IMFOLE. See procedures below for sending Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE is from a tax return, i.e.: Open TC 500 has a return DLN or Open TC 500 on CC IMFOLE and also on CC TXMOD along with a TC 976/977 (Form 1040X). Note: Research the Form 1040X on Correspondence Imaging System (CIS), if available. If there is nothing on the form that indicates the taxpayer is self-identifying, remove the related TC 500. See procedures below. No DoD dates are present on CC IMFOLE See procedures below for sending Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. Duplicate DoD TC 500s cc 52, 54, 56 are on the module with the same entry date but one TC 500 has a CSED Code "P" and the other TC 500 has a CSED Code "S" . Only one DoD TC 500 53, 55, 57 is present with CSED Code "P" or "S" Input a duplicate TC 500 cc 53, 55, 57 to close out the open TC 500 cc 52, 54, 56. Use the same CSED Code as the open TC 500. Based on research, an unreversed TC 500 on CC TXMOD/IMFOLT has a correct entry date. The exit date is known Input TC 500 cc 53, 55, 57 to close out the TC 500 cc 52, 54, 56. Follow (5) below. Based on research, an unreversed TC 500 on CC TXMOD/IMFOLT has a correct entry date The exit date is not known See procedures below for sending Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. It can be determined that a TC 500 entry date on CC TXMOD/IMFOLT is incorrect Taxpayer may not have been in a combat zone See procedures below for removing the TC 500. Unable to determine if TC 500 entry date on CC TXMOD/IMFOLT is correct The entry date of the TC 500 falls within the entry and exit date of another CZ suspense period that has the same CSED and closing codes Take no action. This date is ignored by Master File. Unable to determine if TC 500 entry date on CC TXMOD/IMFOLT is correct History on IDRS or AMS shows that one or more Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates, were sent regarding the unreversed TC 500 and no indication of taxpayer reply Follow IRM 5.19.10.7.2.5(1), box 1, Taxpayer Does Not Respond to Letter 2761-C , Request for Combat Zone Service Dates. If Combat indicator "1" has been open for more than two years (i.e., the most recent open TC 500 entry date on CC IMFOLE is more than two years old) and cannot be resolved using the procedures above: Beginning in 2012, military orders or other documentation are required for self-identified entry dates of 2010 and later. Accounts resolved via Generalized IDRS Interface (GII) are excepted at this time. Follow IRM 5.19.10.6.2(7), (8) and (9),Combat Zone Qualified Individuals and Areas. Send the Letter 2761-C, Request for Combat Zone Service Dates, to request the dates from the taxpayer Suspend the account for 60 days. In the letter, give the taxpayer 45 days to respond. Follow procedures below to make corrections to the CZ account. For multiple input corrections, delay each input by one cycle. Example: TC 500 followed by TC 502 with no Posting Delay Code, followed by TC 500 cc 56 PDC 1, followed by TC 500 cc 57 PDC 2. TC 502 and TC 342/272/162 can post in the same cycle. To... Then... Input a TC 500 entry date to CC TXMOD. If it is a new entry, enter it to the tax period for the year of entry. If a tax return was not filed for the year of entry, input TC 500 to a prior year. Note: CC REQ77 will not accept a TC 500 with an entry date that is prior to the tax year. For example, an attempt to input an entry date of September 1, 2006 to the 2007 module will not take. Using CC REQ77, input TC 500 cc 52, 54 or 56. Enter the entry date in the TRANS-DT field. Use CSED Code "P" or "S" , if known. Input a TC 500 entry date for first time filer Input TC 500 cc 52, 54, or 56 using an entry date of January 1st to the first tax period filed by the taxpayer. Input a TC 500 exit date to CC TXMOD where the TC 500 entry date is located. Input TC 500 cc 53, 55 or 57. Enter the exit date in the TRANS-DT field. Use the same CSED Code as the TC 500 cc 52, 54 or 56. Input an exit date for an entry date created by the filing of a tax return (CCC "K" , "Z" or RPC "R" ). Input a TC 500 cc 52, 54 or 56 to the tax period on which the taxpayer self-identified. For the entry date, use the TC 150 date. Follow with a TC 500 cc 53, 55 or 57, with the exit date. Remove an entry date created by the filing of a tax return (CCC "K" , "Z" or RPC "R" ) NOTE: CCC "K" sets cc 56, "Z" sets CC 52. RPC "R" sets CC 54. Input a TC 500 CC 52, 54 or 56 to the tax period on which the taxpayer self-identified. For the entry date, use the TC 150 date. Then, input TC 502. Use the same CSED Code as the TC 500. If the account has balance due modules, address any TC 340/270/160s per (6) below. If there are other TC 500s on the module that should not be removed, re-input them with the correct PDC to post after the TC 502 or input them to an earlier module. Remove TC 500s on CC TXMOD. Input TC 502. Use the same CSED Code as the TC 500. If the account has balance due modules, address any TC 340/270/160s. See last paragraph. Remove all TC 500s, CZ freeze condition(s) created by the filing of a tax return AND remove –C freeze from the account. (Taxpayer indicates "never in a combat zone" .) Input TC 502 to all tax periods that contain TC 500s. Use the same CSED Code as the TC 500. Follow box 4 above to remove the TC 500 or freeze condition(s) from each tax return coded CCC "K" or "Z" . If there is a TC 340, TC 160, or TC 270 on the account, (Check all tax modules with a G– and/or −I freeze.) you MUST manually input the TC 342 .00, TC 162 .00, or TC 272 .00 using CC REQ54 to remove the restriction on computation of the interest and penalties. DO NOT input TC 162 if the return is delinquent. For accounts with balance due modules, to correct the TC 340/270/160, figure the CZ suspense period for the most recent entry and exit date still on the account. Example: The most recent entry and exit date is February 1, 2009 to October 31, 2009. Add 180 days. The CZ suspense period is February 1, 2009 to April 29, 2010. Note: Since the last suspense period ended in 2010, do not address any TC 340/270/160 found on tax periods 2010 and prior. However, remove TC 340/270/160, if they were created by a TC 500, when they appear on any balance due modules for tax periods 2011 and subsequent. Exception: DO NOT input TC 162 if the tax return is delinquent.

# —Q Transcripts

5.19.10.8 (02-08-2023) —Q Transcripts The IAT tools as listed in IRM 5.19.10.1.7, Related Resources must be used by Campus Compliance employees for procedures outlined in this IRM. When an action must be taken and an IAT tool is available, Campus Compliance employees with access to the tool are required to use it to complete the action. Note: If an IAT tool is not functioning properly or it is determined not to be appropriate due to a specific situation, the case should be worked without the tool, using IDRS. For more information on each tool as well as a job aid for each tool see the IAT Website. Diagnostic–Q (DIAG–Q) transcripts are generated weekly to identify potential problem modules on the Taxpayer Identification File (TIF) data base and to offer a random review of the TIF's content. These transcripts provide a means to identify and remove unnecessary accounts from the TIF files. SB/SE CSCO works BMF and IMF transcripts at various campuses. The DIAG-Q transcripts will be identified by a one character type code: Y, X, M, D, E, O, F, R, 1-9, A, S, P, G or C in that priority order. The type code is printed in the transcript heading, and each type is sorted so that it prints together, except types F, O, and M. For additional information on DIAG-Q Transcripts, refer to IRM 2.9.1.18, Diagnostic Transcripts, and IRM 2.9.1.19, Reason Codes General Processing Information. Every TIF module contains an RC reflecting the highest priority criteria for which the module is being retained. Understanding the RC is sometimes necessary when resolving numeric type (1-9) DIAG-Q transcripts. The most common RCs found on Collection DIAG-Q transcripts modules are: Balance Due: 55, 6I, 6N, 6T, FF, PA, PB, PC, and PD Return Delinquency: EE, QQ, SS, T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 Freeze conditions: 33 Unpostable: BU Open Control Base: UA, UB, UM, and US

# General Procedures for Diagnostic–Q Transcripts

5.19.10.8.1 (04-20-2022) General Procedures for Diagnostic–Q Transcripts Review DIAG–Q transcripts immediately upon receipt and process as follows: return or forward the following per campus directions to User Support or to the appropriate area: Type P Type A, unless requested by CSCO through User Support Freeze Code −Z− Y−, or −X Freeze Code −A or −L without a −W, −V, or −Y Issue is not a Collection issue Open control base for a function other than Collection Transcript does not meet criteria for generation A credit balance with a settled return and ASED is more than 180 days (six months). If the ASED is within 180 days, route to the Statute function. If the transcript shows an open CSCO control base (upper right corner), route to the employee or group assigned. The Balance Due/TDA Section will process the following types, if there is no open control base: Type C Type S with the following RCs: 33, 55, 6I, 6N, 6T, 77, MM, PA, PB, PC, YY, **, (Freeze codes C-, F-, I-, W-, Z-, -A, -I, -V, -W only), and PD (When Status code is 43,44, 47, 48, 50 or 51 only) Type M Numerics with the following RCs: 33, 55, 6I, 6N, 6T, 77, MM, PA, PB, PC, PD, YY, **, (Freeze Codes C-, I-, L-, V-, -A, -I, -N, -T, -U, -V, -W, The Return Delinquency/TDI Section will process the following types, if there is no open control base: All Type D All Type E Type R with no TC 150 or TC 240 Numerics with no TC 150 Each CSCO establishes a monitoring system to ensure the expected action occurs when a DIAG–Q transcript is resolved. The review cycle depends on the action taken or expected. CSCO should monitor the types of DIAG–Q transcripts generated to identify trends, determine where additional training or review is needed, and to identify necessary procedural or system changes. Numeric transcripts generate yearly until account is resolved. If the module on the transcript is no longer on IDRS, take no action. Destroy transcript, and put comments on AMS. For research procedures, see IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures For All Transcripts. Document AMS with the following history item, "DIAG#RSHRD" , for diagnostic credit research. If there is a −V, −W or −VW on the account, see IRM 21.5.6.4.44, -V Freeze, and IRM 21.5.6.4.46, -W Freeze. If there is a −Y freeze on the account, with a TC 470 in the module, and the status is 71, input a TC 472. Document AMS with actions. If the CSED is within six months of expiring and there is a TC 470 on the module, see IRM 5.19.10.5.6, Claim Pending Collection Statute Transcript (AM 23W). The TC 470 is unnecessary. If a transcript has generated with a −Y freeze for any other reason, forward to the correct OIC Unit. If there is a TC 608 on the module see IRM 5.19.10.4, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) Verification and Correction, all subsections. See IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts, and the appropriate general section. Make sure the CSED statute law has been followed. Each campus should establish an inventory control system to maintain receipts, closings and current inventories.

# Diagnostic–Q, Type C

5.19.10.8.2 (02-01-2014) Diagnostic–Q, Type C Type C DIAG-Q transcripts are generated when the CSED has expired and both of the following conditions exist. The RC is 55, 6I, 6T, 6N, PA, PB, PC, or PD, and The current service center (SC) status is 19 through 89, (except 23, 27–40, 45, 52–55, 59, 62, 65–70, 74–88). Some modules, with RC 55, are brought to IDRS for the first time, and the CSED may have already expired. Most of these will age off in one week. If no other retention criteria remains on the module or account, no follow-up transcript will be generated. If retention criteria exists, a follow-up transcript will generate whenever there is activity on the module; otherwise, the module will drop from the TIF during the weekend update following the date of the transcript.

# Processing Diagnostic–Q, Type C

5.19.10.8.2.1 (04-20-2022) Processing Diagnostic–Q, Type C Review the module for retention criteria and a TC 608. If any are found, resolve the issue. If the latest CSED has expired, there should be a TC 608 in the module. If there are retention criteria on the module, resolve them and allow the computer to update. If the module has more than one assessment, review the payments to make sure they were not made before the CSED. Ensure IRC 6502, Collection After Assessment, has been followed. If IRC 6502, Collection After Assessment, has been violated, take the necessary action to resolve the issue. Follow procedures in IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts, when payments have been applied after the CSED. Cases in ST 24 (Queue) should be reviewed for tax liability and expired statutes. If the CSED has expired, a TC 608 should be in the module. If the module contains −C and −I freeze codes and a TC 608, input TC 290. If there is an "N" after the TIN, it is a NMF account. Follow the procedures below: Research all transcripts on ANMF to determine if the account is open or closed. If the module is closed on ANMF and the SC Status is 89, input STAUP 12. Document AMS with the following history items: DIAGCASC, Diagnostic C ANMF System closed. If the module is still open on ANMF, route the TIN to the NMF Operation. Refer to the Figure below, Fax Request for Action on NMF Account. This template is designed exclusively for the NMF Operation. This figure should be used as a group FAX, and the contact person should be designated by the campus. Notate "CSED Issue" . Document AMS with the following history item, DIAGCASOR, Diagnostic C ANMF System open Route. The Fax Request for Action on NMF Account should include: To, Fax Number, From (contact person), Organization/Campus, Phone Number, TIN, MFT, Tax Period, Request, and a Confidentiality Notice statement.

# Diagnostic–Q, Type S

CSCO is responsible for working these transcripts; there are still weekly computer programs designed to update the statuses automatically. If the transcript is a follow-up, check AMS or IDRS history section; if DIAGSRHRD is present, document AMS and close the control. Process using General Instructions in IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures For All Transcripts and IRM 5.19.10.7.2, Combat Zone Clean-Up Transcript.

# Processing Type S

5.19.10.8.3.1 (02-08-2023) Processing Type S The following If/And/Then Chart provides procedures for processing a module when the statuses are mismatched, CSED is not imminent or is imminent with and without freeze codes, and no action cases. Follow the procedures below to process Type S: Figure 5.19.10-5 If... And... Then... Statuses are mismatched/ cycle delay has expired. CSED is imminent/no other restriction/Balance due (amount n/a). Document AMS with the following history item, "DIAGSCSED," then close the control. Note: When the CSED is imminent, the only status the module will change to is 12. All restrictions must be removed before the module goes to the retention file. If a follow-up transcript is received, check the IDRS history section as well as AMS for the above history item; if found, document AMS and close. If not found, see 1). Statuses are mismatched/ cycle delay has expired. CSED is imminent, Freeze Code I— Resolve I− per IRM 5.19.10.8.7.3, Freeze Code I− (Credit Interest Restricted).

CSED is imminent, Freeze Code −V or −W (TC 520) or Code −Y (TC 480/780/782) If there is an unreversed TC 470 in module, input TC 472. If a follow-up transcript is received, and there are no additional restrictions, refer to the Note in the first Then 1) above. Statuses are mismatched/ cycle delay has expired. CSED is imminent, Freeze Code −Z (TC 941). Contact Criminal Investigation and follow their guidelines. Statuses are mismatched/ cycle delay has expired. CSED is imminent, Freeze Code A− Resolve per IRM 5.19.10.5.5, CSED (SPC3) Transcript. Statuses are mismatched/ cycle delay has expired. CSED is not imminent. Search for restrictions and resolve them. If there are no restrictions found, check IDRS/AMS history section to determine last action taken and check IDRS for the any updates to the module. If the last action was a STAUP 22XX and the module shows no updates, input history item DIAGSCPH (CPH = Computer Problem sent to Headquarters). Route TIN to Headquarters for disposition. If the last action was a STAUP 22XX and the module has been updated, input a STAUP 2201 if the amount is below the deferral amount. If the amount is above the deferral amount, input STAUP 2200. If the module shows SC48/MF58 Balance is below the deferral amount. Input CC RECON, if module updates, use history item RECON. If module doesn't update, after CC RECON, input CC STAUP 2201. Close and input history item STAUP 2201. If a follow-up transcript generates, check the IDRS/AMS history section. If RECON or STAUP 2201 has already been done, input CC MFREQD. Close the control with history item MFREQD. If the module shows SC6X/MFXX Balance is below the deferral amount. Default IA using CC IADFL and Suppress Default Indicator "1" . CC STAUP 2201 Use history item IADFL/STAUP. If the module shows SC6X/MFXX Balance is above the deferral amount Determine if the taxpayer should be reinstated, or defaulted. If the taxpayer should be reinstated, follow IRM 5.19.10.10.6.3, IAAL Review of Restricted Interest and Penalty Account - CSCO Processing. Document AMS with the following history item, IA/REINST, and close. If the module should be defaulted, use CC IADFL with default category "OTHER" and Suppress Default Indicator "1" . Input CC STAUP 2201. Document AMS with the following history item, IADFL/STAUP, and close. If the module shows SC48/MF58 Balance is above the deferral amount Input CC RECON; if module updates, use history item RECON. If the module doesn't update after RECON, input CC STAUP 2200. Document AMS with following history item, STAUP 2200, and close. If a follow-up transcript generates, check IDRS/AMS history section for the command codes in 1) and 2). If found, input CC MFREQD. Document AMS with the following history item, MFREQD, and close. MFT 35/65 has an unpostable TC 530/09 No other issues Close case – no action

# Diagnostic–Q, Type E

5.19.10.8.4 (02-01-2014) Diagnostic–Q, Type E Type E transcript generates when a TC 904 is sent to the TIF because the annual Master File leveling process has removed the module to the retention register and a corresponding module exists on the TIF with one of the following conditions: Module status of 19-21, 46 (IMF CZ Only), 47, 48, 50, 56, 58, 60, 61, 63, 64, 89 (with Pending TC 500 or Pending TC 470. These transcripts are generated once a year, BMF in cycle 3 and IMF in cycle 4. Most remain on the TIF until action is taken to cause the module to drop. No follow-up transcripts are generated. However, if not resolved, other types of DIAG–Q transcripts may generate (For example: Type S or Type Numeric). Review the module to determine if it should be dropped or removed from the TIF or reestablished on the Master File. If recent activity such as a pending transaction, open control or unpostable appears on the account, take no action. Otherwise, resolve any restrictive conditions and close.

# Diagnostics–Q — Numerics

5.19.10.8.5 (06-01-2018) Diagnostics–Q — Numerics There are several conditions that will cause a Type Numeric DIAG–Q transcript to generate. The most common criteria for numeric DIAG–Q transcripts received in CSCO are: The RC has not changed for one year There has been no activity on the module for one year and There is no open control base. For IDRS module retention criteria, refer to IRM 2.9.1.13, IDRS Module Retention Criteria for the TIF. These transcripts generate as soon as the criteria is met, and again each year on the anniversary of the last activity. The Type number 1–9 indicates the number of years since the RC was changed or updated. Follow-up transcripts are not generated. However, if a numeric DIAG–Q is not resolved, the criteria holding the module on the TIF may also cause generation of alpha type and annual numeric DIAG–Qs. Unlike some alpha type DIAG–Q transcripts, numerics 1–9 will not drop from the TIF when action is not taken. Each module must be analyzed and, in most instances, action must be taken to reactivate the module or remove it from the TIF. Type 5 - 9 should be reviewed by your campus. You should determine if the generation of the transcript is necessary, and the time frame is right or if feedback needs to the shared with responsible operation.

# Processing Numerics

5.19.10.8.5.1 (04-20-2022) Processing Numerics When resolving a balance due/TDA numeric DIAG–Q, follow the table below. Figure 5.19.10-6 If... Then... Latest CSED expired Look for a restrictive condition such as a I− freeze code and credit. Resolve all credit issues per IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts. Check the payment date. If the RSED on the payment has expired, follow IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures For All Transcripts, to transfer the payment to the XSF or URF. Note: If module contains a TC 582, resolve any retention and freeze code. Pending TC 470 (no cc, cc 94, or cc 98) Monitor the module until the transaction posts. If the input of the transaction has been more than three weeks, refer to Type S procedures. Module within six months of the latest CSED Refer to IRM 5.19.10.8.3, Diagnostic-Q, Type S. Resolve all credit issues. Statuses mismatch and cycle delay has passed Refer to IRM 5.19.10.8.3, Diagnostic-Q, Type S. Master file balance due notice issued within the past 5 weeks Monitor. If more than 5 weeks, refer to, IRM 5.19.10.8.3, Diagnostic-Q, Type S. A− Freeze Code Look for an expired CSED; refer to IRM 5.19.10.5.5, CSED (SPC3) Transcript. V− Freeze Code Look for outstanding liability on another account. Refer to IRM 5.19.10.3.12, Generation of CP 44 and CP 188 or IRM 5.19.10.5.8, Non-Master File Liability (NMFL) Transcripts. I− Freeze Codes If there is a TC 608 and/or lien on the module, the restrictive condition must be resolved in order for the lien to release. TC 582 is self releasing when the CSED expires or the module status is 12. If the module contains a credit and TC 608, follow IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts. If no TC 608 is present, look for other debit modules and transfer the credit. If there are no other OBs, verify the RSED. If the statute has not expired, research RTR to verify the credit. If the credit belongs to the taxpayer, prepare form for manual refund. Refer to the General Instructions and IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds, and notify the taxpayer. If the credit does not belong to the taxpayer and you can determine where it should be applied, transfer the credit. Otherwise, move the credit to the XSF or URF per IRM 5.19.10.5.1, General Procedures For All Transcripts. If the RSED has expired, move the credit to the XSF. −I Freeze Code Debit interest is restricted. Refer to IRM 5.19.10.8.7.2, Freeze Code −I (Debit Interest Restricted). −V, −W or ST 72 Update AMS and close case. −L Freeze Code Open examination case. Input the appropriate history. If the module shows there was a previous −L and credit remains, contact Examination for disposition of the credit. Unreversed TC 914, TC 916, TC 918 present Update AMS and close case. Unreversed TC 470 Refer to IRM 5.19.10.5.3, Accounts Maintenance Claim Pending (AM06W) Transcripts or IRM 5.19.10.5.6, Claim Pending Collection Statute Transcript (AM 23W). OIC Issues See issues below. For Numerics 1 and 2, issued due to an open TC 480, take no action and input AMS history "TC 480 less than (<) 3 years" . A submitted Offer can pend for up to three years. Module has no CSED (TC 971 AC 32). Fax Form 4442 to OIC, notate "CSED Issue" . TC 470, see above. If the module was previously in OIC, and the module was settled and then another credit posts (CSED not an issue), no additional P&I should be assessed. If the module was previously in OIC, a TC 608 wrote off debit amount, and credit posts (has a date after the CSED), see IRM 5.19.10.5.2, PMTEXPCSED Transcripts. Pending and unpostable transactions Monitor the transaction until it posts, if three weeks have passed, see Type S procedures. Location Codes See IRM 5.19.10.5.11, NOMRG-TDA Transcript NM07. Current ASGNI/ASGNB history items/control bases See issues below. Current ASGNI/ASGNB, input history item. Resolve per history item. Control bases; when necessary, close base (merge). If control base is recent, close your module to the control base. The most common cause of a Balance Due/TDA DIAG–Q numeric transcript is a condition that prevents a module from updating to a balance due or TDA status. See Exhibit 5.19.10-1, Restrictive Conditions. In most cases, a Balance Due/TDA DIAG–Q numeric transcript can be resolved by identifying the restrictive condition and removing it. If the CSED is within 180 days, look for available credits in Excess Collections, Unpostable and on TDI module. Research IDRS. If no data, take the appropriate action. If recent activity indicates the module is current or the transcript module status has updated since the transcript generated, input History Item "DIAG #" CR NT and close. Example: The module has a current (within one year) ASGNI/ASGNB or history item indicating the balance due notice process or TDA is in active inventory. Example: The module is now in a Master File and SC balance due notice status and the next notice is not due to be issued. Example: There is a satisfying transaction that has been pending for less than three cycles.

# Reason Codes

5.19.10.8.6 (06-01-2018) Reason Codes An RC is assigned to each module on the TIF to explain why it is present on the TIF. The RC on a diagnostic transcript is the highest priority RC related to that module. For detailed information, or additional RCs, see IRM 2.9.1-1, Reason Codes.

# Reason Code 33

5.19.10.8.6.1 (02-01-2014) Reason Code 33 If the RC is 33, and: The freeze code is not a Collection responsibility, route to User Support with explanation. If the freeze is a W−, resolve per (c) or (d) below. If the freeze is a L− (SC ST 73), and there is an indication of an open case, contact the employee or group responsible for the open case. Change the TC 470 closing code to other than 99. Document AMS with history Item, "DIAG#OPNCS" . If there is no freeze code present in the FZ portion of the transcript, review the module for an unreversed TC 470 and resolve accordingly. (This occurs when a TC 470 cc 90/93 is input to a module in notice status or a TC 470 00/90/93 is input to a module in TDA status). The Master File W− freeze is systemically released after 22 cycles, but TIF processing does not release the freeze on balance due notice/TDA status update.

# Reason Code -EE or QQ

5.19.10.8.6.2 (05-01-2007) Reason Code -EE or QQ If research shows the RC or module E cycle (mod E cyc) has changed, close the control with the following history item DIAG(X)CRNT, and see example below. Figure 5.19.10-7 Tax Period Year Reason Code Mod E Cycle *30 * 199312 EE 200212 The following If/Then Chart provides procedures to process a module when both the SC and Master File statuses are 23, with either RCs QQ or EE, and without. Figure 5.19.10-8 If... Then... The RC is QQ or EE or the TIF module TDI indicator is not closed or blank. Prepare a routing slip to the Return Delinquency/TDI function to resolve the TDI issue. Input History item, DIAG#TOTDI. Not as above. Review the module for retention criteria causing it to be retained on the TIF (ex: RC 33 or Ux). Resolve retention criteria. Input History Item DIAG#RC. Monitor to ensure expected action occurs.

# Freeze Codes

5.19.10.8.7 (05-01-2007) Freeze Codes A freeze code is assigned to restrict a module based on a TC. Refer to Document 6209, Section 8A-4, Master File Freeze Codes and IDRS Status 48, for a detailed explanation of each freeze code. If the module contains a freeze code and TC 582, see IRM 5.19.10.5.1(12), General Procedures For All Transcripts.

# Freeze Code −E

5.19.10.8.7.1 (09-15-2010) Freeze Code −E If the module contains an −E freeze and there is no TC 150 posted, document AMS with the following history Item "DIAG#TOUS" . Prepare a routing slip, and send to User Support.

# Freeze Code −I (Debit Interest Restricted)

5.19.10.8.7.2 (08-17-2021) Freeze Code −I (Debit Interest Restricted) If there is a −I freeze code, debit interest restriction, with a TC 340 on the module, process as follows: Research the reason for the restricted interest. If the account reflects new activity, then re-compute the module again, as appropriate. See IRM 20.2.1.4.2, Manual Calculation of Interest, and IRM 20.2.5.6.1, Reasons to Manually Compute Interest, when recomputing a restricted interest tax module. Example: A new payment posts to the account after the most recent manual interest recalculation If the original computation was in error, take the necessary steps to adjust the account. Use a non-restricting TC 340, whenever possible. See IRM 20.2.5.6.3, Non-Restricting Transaction Code (TC) 340. If the computation agrees with the original computation and/or the taxpayer has been given a refund, the case should be verified by the Lead. If a TC 530 was input subsequent to an unreversed TC 520, document AMS with a history item and close. If the module contains the following freeze codes −CI, and there is a TC 608 posted, check the entity to see if there is an exit date.

# Freeze Code I- (Credit Interest Restricted)

5.19.10.8.7.3 (10-15-2012) Freeze Code I- (Credit Interest Restricted) If there is an I- freeze code present on the module, SC status is 12, MF Status is 60/22 with a credit balance, check status section to see if the account was once in ST 60. If you determine that additional P&I should be assessed and the IA should be reinstated, refer to IRM 5.19.10.10.6.3, IAAL Review of Restricted Interest and Penalty Accounts-CSCO Processing. Since the Master File and IDRS have different tolerances, this sometimes causes an installment account to stall in the system. Follow the procedures below: If there is an invalid TIN, research for the valid TIN. If found, transfer the credit to the valid SSN account using ADD24. Use the date the credit became available. Research TIN for other balance due modules. If found, transfer the credit to that module using ADD24. Use the date the credit became available. If no other accounts can be found for the invalid TIN, research the payment using RTR and Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP). If no information is received, request the payment voucher and/or return. When the payment voucher is received and the payment doesn't belong to the taxpayer, move the entire payment to the appropriate taxpayer's account. If the payment belongs to the taxpayer, and the voucher shows the same TIN, refer to (e) below. Prepare the necessary forms for a manual refund. Notate the form with the reason for the refund. Monitor the module until the status updates to ST 12. Document AMS with the history Item, "DQ#SBATDBA" . Refer to IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds. If no voucher is received, send a letter to the taxpayer questioning the invalid TIN. If the taxpayer doesn't respond within 45 days, or the letter is returned undeliverable, refer to (g). If no voucher is received, and the letter was undeliverable, prepare necessary forms to transfer the credit to Excess Collections. Input a TC 971 AC 296 unless the credit is refund statute barred. Document AMS with the appropriate history items.

# EFT Listings

5.19.10.9 (06-01-2018) EFT Listings The IAT tools as listed in IRM 5.19.10.1.7, Related Resources must be used by Campus Compliance employees for procedures outlined in this IRM. When an action must be taken and an IAT tool is available, Campus Compliance employees with access to the tool are required to use it to complete the action. Note: If an IAT tool is not functioning properly or it is determined not to be appropriate due to a specific situation, the case should be worked without the tool, using IDRS. For more information on each tool as well as a job aid for each tool see the IAT Website. This subsection has procedures to monitor the DDIA electronic exchange of bank information and payment data between the Automated Clearing House (ACH) and the banks. To monitor this data, EFT Listings issue on a daily basis when problems occur. Some types of problems include: Incorrect bank account number and/or bank routing number Insufficient funds in the taxpayer checking account Incorrect taxpayer name/does not match bank account name Taxpayer account is not in ST 60 For more information on the DDIA program, refer to IRM 5.19.1.8, DDIA Monitoring Procedures - CSCO Processing. If a taxpayer requests a DDIA, see IRM 5.19.1.6.4.13, DDIA.

# CC EFTAD for Problem ID and Correction - CSCO Processing

5.19.10.9.1 (02-01-2014) CC EFTAD for Problem ID and Correction - CSCO Processing CC EFTAD displays several payment statuses: Payment Status Definition [blank] The payment request was not yet sent to the bank. [A] The prenote or payment request was sent to the bank and is good. Note: The bank can revoke this up to 60 days later. [C] Is always associated with a payment request for a dollar amount greater than .00 and indicates our request for payment was not honored. [D] Denotes a deferred payment and posts when CC EFTOF was used to turn off a payment request. Note: Payment status [D] also posts if the account leaves ST 60 within 15 days of the payment request.

# Verify EFT 1240 Run - CSCO Processing

5.19.10.9.1.1 (04-28-2008) Verify EFT 1240 Run - CSCO Processing Access CC EFTAD with definer "D" and the current date, each day, to verify the EFT 1240 run is completed by Computer Services. Verify: The tape was prepared by checking the payment request status If the Payment Status is "[A]" , the tape was prepared and sent to the correspondent bank; otherwise, contact Computer Services to schedule the run. The Deposit Status at the top of the EFTAD display is "[V]" , denoting the deposit tape was transmitted to the bank If Payment Statuses or the Deposit Status is "[ ]" (blank), notify Computer Services immediately. There is no scheduled DDIA activity for that day if the response to CC EFTADD is "NO DATA" . Verify the cause of Payment Status "[ ]" (blank): Determine if the DDIA was revised within 15 days of the payment, but CC EFTOF was not used to turn off the payment request. These accounts appear on EFT 10 and must be worked promptly. Determine when a new prenote was done by using CC EFTAD with the taxpayer's TIN. If the prenote was not changed, check CC IADIS or CC ENMOD to see if the agreement was revised. Notify Computer Services immediately if neither of the preceding conditions above created the Payment Status "[ ]" (blank). Access CC EFTAD with the taxpayer's TIN to: See a summary of the DDIA activity for the taxpayer Example: Research for a payment request to use CC EFTOF to turn it off. Check the Payment Status, to see if the tape of the correspondent bank was created. This enables advising a taxpayer whether they should contact their bank after researching CC EFTAD Determine the date an EFT 18 generated, but no evidence exists it was worked

# EFT 1240 Listing - CSCO Processing

5.19.10.9.2 (09-13-2022) EFT 1240 Listing - CSCO Processing The EFT 1240 is a computer system run generating our DDIA payment requests and prenotes to the correspondent bank on a daily basis. This listing must be processed within 5 working days of receipt. Prenote and payment requests look the same; however, prenotes are always for ".00" dollars. The EFT 1240 also generates a listing posting the TC 670 to affected taxpayer accounts on IDRS. DDIA TC 670 transactions use a special blocking series and DLN. Example: " 97318-000-80116-6" : The document code is always "18" , with a blocking series of "800" to "899" . Blocking series "800" to "899" is used by Master File to produce a,CP 166, Insufficient Funds on Direct Debit Installment Agreement, for BMF accounts.

# EFT 1240 Error Records

5.19.10.9.2.1 (09-15-2010) EFT 1240 Error Records EFT 1240 are assessed on control-D by CSCO on a daily basis and must be worked within one day of receipt. CSCO contacts Computer Services immediately if the EFT 1240 listing is not received. Review the listing to ensure no error records are present. If records are present, notify the Computer Branch IMMEDIATELY; otherwise, destroy the listing.

# EFT 12 Expected Deposits Not Sent to Bank - CSCO Processing

5.19.10.9.2.2 (05-14-2008) EFT 12 Expected Deposits Not Sent to Bank - CSCO Processing EFT 12 displays a listing of "Expected Deposit Dates not Sent to Bank" , this listing must be processed within 5 working days of receipt. This means there was DDIA information, prenotes and payment requests, to be sent to the correspondent bank on that date, but we did not do the necessary transmission. If a date appears in this section, the liaison notifies the Computer Branch immediately upon receipt for correction. Caution: This must be done within TWO days from the run date of EFT 12. If Computer Branch is not notified within two days, we must: Re-input the DDIA, generating new prenotes, or Wait until the next month to send our payment requests

# EFT 18 Listing - CSCO Processing

5.19.10.9.3 (09-13-2022) EFT 18 Listing - CSCO Processing The EFT 18 program is used to notify CSCO on a daily basis and must be worked within 10 days of receipt., If there was a problem with a payment request It also is the computer run posting TC 671 and TC 286 to the taxpayer accounts reversing the credit the EFT 12 program applied to the taxpayer's account Note: If the original documents must be secured from another center, the time frame for processing the account on the error listing increases to three days. It is put in EFTAD and indicates rejected by bank. TC 670 posts with a TC 286 and is then treated as a skipped payment, but the DDIA does not default unless the two prior skips were previously used. Transaction Codes 671 and 280 are identified by special blocking series and document codes as described in IRM 5.19.10.9.2, EFT 1240 Listing - CSCO Processing: The first TC 671 generates , CP 166, Insufficient Funds on Direct Debit Installment Agreement for BMF accounts, and turns off the Skip Indicator on both IMF and BMF accounts. The third TC 671 causes the agreement to default EFT 18 generates a hard copy listing received daily in CSCO. The EFT 18 Listing consists of: Non-Payment Problem Register, EFT 1823 Listing Account Change List, EFT 1824 Listing

# Non-Payment Problem Register

5.19.10.9.3.1 (04-24-2026) Non-Payment Problem Register The Non-Payment Problem Register generates whenever a payment is not received from the financial institution; work this problem register within ten days of receipt. When working the EFT 1823 listing, ensure the taxpayer is allowed a skip if you reinstate the agreement. Take no action on accounts not in ST 60. The following are associated reason codes and resolutions: Reason Code IMF/BMF Resolution R01: Insufficient Funds R09: Uncollected Funds IMF or BMF accounts Research IDRS.

Your Direct Debit Installment Agreement has been defaulted. If you would like another installment agreement, please complete the enclosed Form 433-D, Installment Agreement, with updated checking account information. Verify the TC 671 and TC 286 posted to the taxpayer's accounts: If... Then... Transaction Codes 671 and 286 are present Take no action Transaction Codes 671 and 286 are not present Notify the Computer Branch immediately The return RC indicates the taxpayer closed the account or stopped payment and this is the first TC 671 Manually default the DDIA to prevent a second request for the payment. The other return RCs cause the system to default the agreement when the second TC 671 posts to the account; no further action is necessary. If the EFT 18 displays error records, the liaison reports the problem to the Computer Branch immediately. Retain the EFT 18 listing for one year. File the EFT 18 listings in reverse chronological order by Mellon (or Bank of America) Date. Sometimes an EFT 18 listing generates, but TC 671 and TC 280 do not post to IDRS. Accounting Operations is out of balance in this circumstance: The Computer Branch can correct this condition in most cases. When they are unable to correct this condition, CSCO prepares a one-sided Form 2424, Account Adjustment Voucher, for each affected taxpayer, to reverse the credit, attaching a copy of the EFT 18 with the appropriate taxpayer underlined in RED as backup documentation.

# EFT 16 Listing - CSCO Processing

5.19.10.9.4 (05-14-2008) EFT 16 Listing - CSCO Processing The EFT 16 Listing identifies when Accounting Operations is "out of balance" due to activity occurring for DDIAs. This arises when the correspondent bank gives return items, such as bad payments, on paper instead of through the EFT 18 Listing. This listing must be processed within 5 working days of receipt. When this occurs, a one-sided Form 2424, Account Adjustment Voucher, is prepared to manually reverse the taxpayer's credit. Collection assists Accounting Operations with required research to resolve the out of balance condition. However, Accounting Operations needs minimal assistance in such matters as the correspondent bank provides the taxpayer data necessary to identify the problem account. The EFT 16 Listing generates daily, routed to Accounting Operations. If CSCO receives an EFT 16, follow up with Accounting Operations within one day of receipt to determine if they received a copy. If Accounting Operations did not receive it, forward the EFT 16 Listing to Accounting Operations. If Accounting Operations did receive it, destroy the EFT 16 Listing.

# EFT 10 Listing - CSCO Processing

CSCO receives this listing each week; and it must be worked within 10 days of receipt. The number of accounts on this list is low if CSCO inputs DDIAs correctly and works the EFT 18 Listings in a timely manner. The EFT 10 ensures the DDIA program functions correctly and CSCO processes the agreements correctly. Take the following actions to resolve different error categories: If And Then Status Now Closed: The account is no longer in ST 60 IMF or BMF account Check IDRS for a cross reference account in ST 63. ALN XX63 Establish a DDIA on the cross reference account if the primary account is in ST 12. Default the cross reference account if the primary account is not in ST 12. Update AMS. Agreement Not on EFT File or Pre-note Information not sent to Bank IMF account Check the Agreement Locator Number (ALN) on CC IADIS. Turn off the EFT Indicator if the ALN denotes it is not a DDIA. Check CC EFTAD for bank data if the ALN denotes it is a DDIA. If bank data not present on CC EFTAD, convert the DDIA to a regular IA. Send Letter 1961-C, Installment Agreement for Direct Debit Form 433-D, to inform the taxpayer of the change and request banking information. If there was a TIN - Merge, re-input the bank data. Update AMS. Agreement Not on EFT File or Pre-note Information not sent to Bank BMF account Check the Agreement Locator Number (ALN) on CC IADIS.

See IRM 5.19.10.9.3, EFT 18 Listing - CSCO Processing. If unable to locate the EFT 18. For ALN 0315:default DDIA,update EFT CD 1 to EFT CD 2, send Letter 2272C with Form 433-D for taxpayer to submit new DDIA (Use paragraph supplied by HQ).For ALN 03XX, convert to a regular IA and send Letter 1961C, Installment Agreement for Direct Debit Form 433-D Not granted. Duplicate Payment Date: Payment date changed within 15 days of scheduled payment due date IMF or BMF accounts Notify the taxpayer they should send us this month's payment via check or money order, and the DDIA will resume the following month. Caution: Sometimes during computer processing, the payment erroneously is pulled regardless, resulting in two payments taken from the account in a single month. Payment Amount: .00 IMF or BMF accounts Check CC IADIS, to verify the payment amount. Correct the payment amount using the information on Form 433-D, Installment Agreement, if ".00" displays in the payment amount field. Payment request within pre-note period IMF or BMF accounts Check AMS history for recent actions or taxpayer requests that may affect how case is worked. Verify the EFT code is "1" and the ALN is "03XX" on IADIS. Confirm the checking account information is listed on EFTAD and that debits are not being rejected by the bank. If 3 or more rejected debit attempts within the last 12 months, default the agreement. Note: Do not default for 3 or more rejected debit attempts if the agreement has been revised / reinstated during the same 12 month period. Agreement Not On EFT File Closure Dropped IMF accounts Research the case to determine the appropriate course of action. If other error records or notations appear on EFT 10, notify the Computer Branch.

# EFT 14 Listing - CSCO Processing

5.19.10.9.6 (10-15-2012) EFT 14 Listing - CSCO Processing The EFT 14 Listing is a report generated by the Computer Branch. CSCO receives this report weekly. This listing must be processed within 10 days of receipt. The first part of the report is the "Dropped Account Register" . This listing is a record of all accounts in DDIA status with no DDIA activity for six (6) months Note: File this listing in reverse chronological order and retain the listing for one year. The second part of the report is the "Inactive Accounts List" ; this a list of DDIA accounts in DDIA status with no payments requested within eight cycles. Review accounts on the "Inactive Accounts List" within five days of receipt to determine why no payment request was generated. This listing is typically small if the EFT 10 and EFT 18 Listings are worked timely. The most common reason for accounts appearing on this listing is the prenote period did not expire in time to make a payment request or the account is no longer in DDIA status. Verify the account is in ST 60. Check CC IADIS, to see if the EFT indicator is off If indicator is on, take no action Verify the DDIA information using CC EFTAD, to see if the prenote was input less than 15 days prior to the payment due date. If the prenote was input less than 15 days prior to the payment due date, take no action. For all other conditions, notify Computer Services.

5.19.10.10.1.1 (04-24-2026) IAAL - Generalized IDRS Interface (GII) Tool Process GII Tool is used to process weekly IAAL cases. The tool can reinstate certain installment agreements, default installment agreements, take no action on accounts, send letters to taxpayers, and put comments on ENMOD. If..... Then..... SUSPENDED category - the installment agreement meets GII SPP criteria The tool will reinstate the IA, send letter to taxpayer and input comments on ENMOD. SUSPENDED category - the installment agreement does not meet GII SPP total balance due criteria The case will be assigned to a tax examiner to be worked. SUSPENDED category - the installment agreement does not meet GII SPP monthly payment criteria The tool will default the IA. LITIGATION category – installment agreement is now in ST 72 The tool will close case, take no action and input comment on ENMOD – GII-LITNA. F/S OLD category - taxpayer did not respond to CP 522/522P The tool will close case, take no action and input comment on ENMOD – GII-DFSNA The IA will default systemically. REVIEW AGREEMENT category - installment agreement has an ALN of 12 The tool will close case, take no action and input comment on ENMOD – GII-RANA. These cases are monitored by CCP. LIEN DETERMINATION category – ALN is other than 66 The tool will close case, take no action and input comment on ENMOD - GII-LDNA. The IA will default systemically. LIEN DETERMINATION category - ALN is 66 The case will be assigned to a tax examiner to be worked. Note: GII programming will restrict reinstating in certain instances. For example, cross reference installment agreements, restricted penalties and interest, and multiple conditions. AMS documentation is not required for cases closed through the GII Tool. If a case is closed by GII, documentation of actions taken can be found on ENMOD.

# Multiple-Condition Cases

5.19.10.10.1.2 (09-15-2010) Multiple-Condition Cases Review the history items on IDRS using CC ENMOD and/or AMS for all multiple-condition cases. Cases with Agreement Locator Number (ALN) "12XX" are field or ACS multiple-condition cases. Cases with Agreement Locator Number (ALN) "92XX" are campus multiple-condition cases. When working a case with a multiple condition ALN, research AMS/ENMOD to find the conditions not represented in the ALN and address both conditions. Example: XREF IA, "XX63" , with a backup-53, "XX53" , use ALN "9263" and a history instructing to CNC the account in case of default.

# Revising or Reinstating Accounts on the IAAL

# Full Paid Restricted Interest and Penalty Accounts

5.19.10.10.2.1 (02-08-2023) Full Paid Restricted Interest and Penalty Accounts Installment Agreements under the Restricted Interest and Penalty Category on the IAAL, include modules that contain restricted interest and/or FTP penalty, which must be assessed and collected. Each restricted module appears on the IAAL when updated to ST 12. If any module contains a posted TC 608, the module's last CSED has expired. TC 608 generates a G− and/or −I freeze and appears on the IAAL if account is in ST 6X. GII systemically closes these accounts and places a history "GII-IAAL" and "GIICSEDEXP" on CC ENMOD. Research IDRS to determine which tax period(s) caused the account to appear on the IAAL. The tax period(s) to be addressed will have a FTP penalty freeze and/or interest freeze, with or without a B− freeze. See Document 6209, Section 8A - 4, Master File Freeze Codes and IDRS Status 48 Determine if accruals were assessed and collected: If... Then... No additional interest or penalty adjustment is necessary Input TC 290 for .00 with blocking series 05 (Use Blocking Series 00 if you have original return) and Hold Code (HC) 3. There are modules where accruals were not assessed and need to be collected, and there are six months or more remaining on the CSED Research the account following the above procedures in paragraph 2. Re-compute the interest or FTP using ACT/DMI, or CC COMPA/COMPAD allowing for all applicable waivers, suspensions and rate changes, to the current 23C date. See IRM 20.1, Penalty Handbook and IRM 20.2, Interest, for more detailed instructions. Assess accruals or correct the penalty or interest using CC ADJ54 in blocking 05 (unless you ordered the document from files.) and HC 0. Do not create a balance due on the tax period of less than ≡ ≡ ≡ as described in IRM 21.3.1.6.37, CP 86 Restricted interest/Penalty Conditions, .or IRM 21.3.1.6.37.2, Adjusting CP 86 Accounts. If the available credit is more than the additional amount due, assess only the additional amount and let the remainder refund or offset. Reinstate the agreement using CC IAGRE. Revise the installment agreement locator number to XX32. Change the assessment indicator to "1" , allowing the new assessment to post without suspending the agreement. Note: Enter a history on AMS indicating the additional assessment amount and actions taken. If the response is IAPND, reinstate the agreement by using IADIS information. Send the appropriate letter to inform the taxpayer of the changes. Waive the user fee and annotate AMS with the reason if all applicable fees have been paid. There were only modules in which accruals were not assessed and need to be collected and have less than six months remaining on the CSED No action is required if the balance is zero on that tax period. If there is a credit on the module, resolve the credit by assessing any penalty or interest due, up to the credit amount. If no additional penalty or interest is due, input a TC 290 .00. Accruals were assessed and collected on all modules No action is required.

# Full Paid Continuous Wage Levy Accounts

5.19.10.10.2.2 (11-07-2024) Full Paid Continuous Wage Levy Accounts It is imperative a wage levy is released immediately when the account becomes full paid. Whenever possible levy releases should be faxed to the employer to prevent collection of excess levy proceeds. See IRM 10.5.1.6.9.4, Faxing, for guidelines. Determine the levy source from the CC IADIS record. If not found, review the following for levy source data. Update AMS with the levy source when found. CC ENMOD and CC TXMOD history AMS history RTR System to view payment documents CC LEVYE SSA levy payments are identified by a "49" in the 3rd and 4th positions of the EFT-TRACE-NUM. ACS archives. If CWL was established by ACS per the Originator Code or ALN on CC IADIS, contact the ACS Support and Status 22 TAS Liaisons found under the SERP "Who/Where" tab. Process accounts with a continuous wage levy, Agreement Locator Number "XX08" as follows: If... And... Then... The account is full paid, including accruals of P&I The previous levy release shows on CC ENMOD or elsewhere and No payments are being received No action is required. The account is full paid, including accruals of P&I No levy release shows on CC ENMOD or elsewhere OR Payments are still being received AND the levy source can be determined Prepare a release of the levy on wages, Form 668-D, Release of Levy/Release of Property From Levy. For levy release procedures, see IRM 5.19.4.4.10, Levy Release: General Information. Fax Part 1 to the employer if the number is available, otherwise mail Part 1 to the employer Destroy Form 668-D after one year from date of release. Refer to Document 12990, Records Control Schedules, Schedule 28, Item 43, for retention details. The account is full paid, including P&I accruals No levy release is shown and the levy source can NOT be determined You can attempt to contact the taxpayer to identify the levy source and the number to fax the release. If unable to obtain the information send Letter 2571-C, To Employer: Discontinue/Adjust Payroll Deduction, to the taxpayer authorizing the release of the continuous wage levy. Advise the taxpayer to give their employer a copy of the letter if unable to fax. The account is not full paid, including P&I accruals Restricted interest and/or penalty was not assessed Follow procedures for computing and assessing accruals in IRM 5.19.10.10.2.1, Full Paid Restricted Interest and Penalty Accounts. Reinstate the IA and change the assessment indicator to "1" . ALN should be "XX08" . Waive the User Fee.

# Cross-Referenced TINs

5.19.10.10.2.3 (04-24-2026) Cross-Referenced TINs If the cross reference account is in ST 63, update the IA to ST 60. Do not charge any additional user fee, for origination or reinstatement, on ST 63 accounts. Keep the same user fee on the cross reference agreement. Update the ALN Example: "9063" becomes "9036" if streamlined. If the cross reference TIN is full paid, take no action. Review history items on ENMOD or AMS. If the agreement was a PPIA, history item, "PPIA/xref" should display. When setting up the cross-referenced TIN on a PPIA: Use the appropriate ALN; for additional information, see IRM 5.19.1-9, ALNs. Use a PPIA indicator of "2" . Use a Review Suppress Indicator (RSI) of "5" for IMF and "6" for BMF. Use the review cycle shown on the original TIN Exception: If the only remaining modules all contain a CSED expiring sooner than the original review cycle, use an RSI of "6" and a review cycle coinciding with the date the CSED expires. The case generates on the IAAL so a letter may be sent informing the taxpayer payments are not required.

# Full Paid Payroll Deduction Agreements – CSCO Processing

5.19.10.10.2.4 (03-23-2020) Full Paid Payroll Deduction Agreements – CSCO Processing Notify the employer to discontinue payments if the payroll deduction installment agreement (PDIA) is full paid early because of a credit offset, or similar condition. Use Letter 2571-C, To Employer: Discontinue/Adjust Payroll Deduction. Send Letter 2571-C, To Employer: Discontinue/Adjust Payroll Deduction, to the employer if accruals are assessed on a restricted penalty and/or interest module in addition to the letter sent to the taxpayer regarding the assessment.

# Expired CSED – Partial Payment Installment Agreements

5.19.10.10.2.6 (04-28-2008) Expired CSED – Partial Payment Installment Agreements When the CSED expires on the final module of a PPIA, the account is listed on the IAAL in the full paid category; work these accounts as follows. Review the account to confirm the CSED is expiring on the final module of the PPIA. Send Letter 3127-C, Revision/Reinstatement to Installment Agreement, informing the taxpayer the CSED is about to expire, and they are not required to make payments, but they may make voluntary payments. It is possible a PPIA can be full paid due to unanticipated payment or offset; no action is necessary on these cases.

# IAAL Suspended and Suspended Over 4 Weeks (Status 61)

5.19.10.10.3 (06-01-2018) IAAL Suspended and Suspended Over 4 Weeks (Status 61) When certain changes occur on an account in ST 60, the agreement suspends. The account updates to ST 61 and appears in the "Suspended" category on the IAAL. If required action is not taken on accounts in the suspended category, the account reappears every four weeks on the IAAL in the "ST 61 over 4 Weeks" category. Taxpayers do not receive reminder notices while their accounts are in ST 61. It is extremely important to work these cases as quickly as possible. See Exhibit 5.19.10-4, IAAL Prioritization List. If the TP's account wasn't debited within the last 30 days, send appropriate letter to inform the taxpayer that their DDIA will continue.

# Suspended — Pre-Bal or Expired Pre-Assessed Installment Agreement (PreIA)

5.19.10.10.3.1 (04-24-2026) Suspended — Pre-Bal or Expired Pre-Assessed Installment Agreement (PreIA) Pending Installment Agreements appear on the IAAL for two reasons: The pre-assessed module(s) was/were not the actual balance due posted and the monthly payment or balance does not meet simple payment plan criteria. The return or proposed assessment does not post after 16 cycles (EXPRE). Take the following actions for Pre-Bal cases: If...... Then.....

The balance due is above ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ (for IMF and Out of Business (OOB) Sole Proprietor) Reject the IA request and send Form 433-F, Collection/Information Statement. For additional information, see IRM 5.19.1.6.4.9, IA Rejection Criteria. To input corrections or suspend a PreIA, nullify the IA using CC IAGRE with Review Action "3" To revise a PreIA to include an assessed module(s), first nullify the IA and suppress the default notice, using Review Action "3" , and reinstate it using Review Action "1" . To extend a PreIA and Pre-DDIAs, use Review Action "2" . If bank information is not available on EFTAD, revise IA to pay by mail and send Form 433-D, Installment Agreement. Update User Fee. Take the following actions for PreIA cases: If... Then... The anticipated module is paid in full Take no action. The taxpayer did not file a returnand There is no TC 460 dated just before or any time after the PreIA was input Take no action. Any module on SUMRY is in ST 26and The collection assignment is to a RO Take no action. All modules on SUMRY are in ST 71 or 72 Take no action. All modules on SUMRY are in ST 12 or ST 60 Take no action. The proposed assessment has not posted on IDRS, but there is an open control to ASFR, AUR or Examination Extend the agreement For pay by mail IA - notify the taxpayer we haven't finished processing their account. Once we complete processing, we'll issue a first balance due notice. Then we'll send a monthly statement with a payment voucher and return envelope shortly before each payment is due. The statement will show the balance remaining on their account, as well as the monthly payment amount. For DDIA - notify the taxpayer we can't deduct the first payment from their checking account until after we issue the first balance due notice. Advise them to monitor their checking account after they receive the notice to make sure payments are being deducted. If IA/DDIA is expired a second time, extend the agreement. Do not send another letter. The return has not posted because the TC 150, 290 or 300 went unpostable on TXMOD Extend the agreement. The anticipated module return posted on the cross-reference SSN (spouse) account Nullify the agreement under the incorrect SSN. Re-establish the IA on the correct SSN. Transfer any payments on the incorrect account to the tax period where the return was posted. The assessment posted and the PreIA was a Full Pay Request agreement and account not full paidand The due date for full payment plus two additional cycles has not passed Input a STAUP 22 for two cycles beyond the scheduled full payment date on the module The name controls on IDRS or MF do not match Reminder: Make sure the agreement was input for the intended taxpayer. If the IA was input on the wrong account, establish the IA under the correct account If the IA was input on the correct account, nullify the IA, suppressing the default notice. Correct the name control on IDRS. Reinstate the IA. If the correct account is unknown, take no action The anticipated module is in ST 23 or ST 53 on SUMRY There is an unreversed TC 530 newer than the date the PreIA was input. Take no action. There is an older unreserved TC 530. Reverse with a TC 531. Nullify the original agreement and reinstate the IA. The anticipated module is in ST 23 and/or ST 53 on MF only (IMFOL, nothing on SUMRY) There is an unreserved TC 530 newer than the date of the PreIA was input. Take no action. There is an older unreserved TC 530, you must reverse the TC 531. CC MFREQ "C" the module. Input TC 971 AC 043. Hold the IA request until the module posts to IDRS, usually two cycles, then input IA. You cannot determine the reason why the PreIA expired Extend the IA unless it was previously extended once; otherwise take no action. If there is any open control base on IDRS, determine whether it is necessary to make contact before taking any action on the account.

# Suspended for New Assessment

5.19.10.10.3.2 (04-24-2026) Suspended for New Assessment There are several different reasons an account suspends. The next proper action depends primarily on the reason the account suspended. CC IADIS indicates the reason for the suspension: The assessment indicator only pulls in a new assessment if it posts within ten cycles from the cycle the assessment indicator was turned on. Accruals only assessments, TC 276 and TC 196, do not appear on the IAAL Suspended Category. If reinstating the IA, to allow an additional future assessment to be included in the agreement, input the assessment indicator on the IA, and input the correct ALN. A new module, or "New Mod" , is the most common reason for an account to suspend: Note: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ If... Then... The assessed balance, including the new assessment, meets full compliance criteria per IRM 5.19.1.6.4, IAs or meets the guidelines for an In-Business Trust Fund Express Agreement per IRM 5.19.1.6.4.2, IA Requirements Simple Payment Plan (Business Trust Fund).. See also IRM 5.19.1.2.6, Case Processing Authority Levels and IRM 5.19.1-9, ALNs. Reinstate the IA. Send the appropriate letter and inform the taxpayer that the new module has been included and payments have not changed. Charge the appropriate User Fee per IRM 5.19.1.6.4.6(10) and 11), IA Payment Methods and User Fees (UF) Overview. The new module is fully paid Reinstate the IA The IA is fully paid, everything except the new mod Input CC STAUP on the new module, moving it from suspended status into the notice stream as follows: STAUP 56 01 (IMF) STAUP 58 01 (BMF) All others Take the appropriate action depending on if working an IA, extension or CTWL in the IRM subsections to follow. Use the correct default category with IADFL when defaulting an agreement. Avoid using the "OTHER" category whenever possible. Note: If you determine that an IA was defaulted erroneously, restore the IA at the previous terms. If the previous terms required managerial approval or exceeded functional authority, manager review is required to confirm that the default was erroneous and that it is being restored at the previous terms. Example: An IA defaulted because a new liability posted. The taxpayer full paid the new liability, but the payment posted after the IA defaulted. The IA exceeded Campus authority. The employee should obtain managerial concurrence, then restore the IA at the previous terms.

# Unanticipated Debits on the IAAL

5.19.10.10.3.3 (02-08-2023) Unanticipated Debits on the IAAL Research IDRS using CC SUMRY and CC TXMOD to determine which debit posted. All modules are in ST 61 including the new assessment. Note: There are IMF modules on the IAAL that default and have an aggregate unpaid balance of assessment of ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, and BMF unpaid balance of assessment of ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. Default these cases using NEW MOD category . Do not follow the procedures in IRM 5.19.1.6.4.5, Account Statuses Affecting IAs. Put comments on AMS "Exceeds Campus Authority" . This should allow the account to send the taxpayer a CP 523. Only CSCO, ACS and ACS Support Operation(s) assigned to work DDIA agreements may input and revise DDIAs. Prior to reinstating the agreement you must check the CSED to determine if the module(s) will full pay before the existing CSED expires. If the CSED is not protected, default the IA using "NEW MOD" and leave a history on AMS explaining the CSED problem. For additional information see IRM 25.6.1.12, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED). Note: Copy and paste payment calculator results from IAT to AMS showing the CSED is not protected. Reinstate the agreement using CC IAGRE, as long as CSED is protected, send appropriate letter and waive the User Fee if the new debt is paid or any of the conditions in the list below are met: Has a history on ENMOD, TXMOD or AMS that the new debit should be included but the ALN is not "XX32" Is for the tax period during which the IA was established and the account balance is less than ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Requires no more than two additional monthly payments For IMF and Out of Business taxpayers, results from penalties and interest, and/or assessments of tax for periods covered by the agreement. Reminder: if the new debit causes the agreement to no longer meet either Streamlined IA ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡, and under criteria or Streamlined IA over ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ criteria, then managerial approval is required. Is for ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ or less If the IA suspended because of a DEBT TC caused by TC 240 reference number 697 or 699 even if balance due is over campus authority. A PPIA is not CSED protected so a PPIA can be reinstated if the new debt is paid. If none of the conditions in (4) are met and the assessed balance, including the new debit, meets streamlined criteria, follow IRM 5.19.10.10.3.2(2), Suspended for New Assessment. IBTF Express Agreements do not require managerial approval. If you determine that the taxpayer has an unfiled return(s), DO NOT default the IA if conditions meet any of the criteria in (4) above. Because an IA has already been granted to the taxpayer we cannot now default the IA for an unfiled return. Default the agreement if the account does not meet conditions outlined in (3) or (4) above; use CC IADFL with default category "NEW MOD."

# Anticipated Debits on the IAAL

5.19.10.10.3.4 (08-17-2021) Anticipated Debits on the IAAL Reinstate the agreement using CC IAGRE if the debit was anticipated or the Agreement Locator Number (ALN) is "XX32" . Waive the user fee and enter a history on ENMOD of, "Fee Waived" and annotate the reason on AMS. Note: If the IA was recently revised and the revision User Fee has not been paid, do not waive the user fee. Taxpayer is liable to pay the revision user fee charge. Refer to Treas. Reg. 300.2. for new procedures. Take the following actions: If... And... Then... The ALN is "XX32" There are still assessed modules with a balance due History items on CC ENMOD, TXMOD or AMS indicate the new module was anticipated Reinstate the agreement. Change the ALN to the appropriate number. The ALN was "XX32" The assessed modules were full paid, but the new assessment is not yet assessed Example: Anticipated debt on next year's return due to nonpayment of ES Taxes, open control for AUR, ASFR, or Examination, etc. History items on CC ENMOD, TXMOD or AMS indicate the new module was anticipated AMS shows the proposed amount of the new assessment Reinstate the agreement using CC IAPND. Waive the user fee, as this was intended to be part of the existing IA when established. Annotate AMS with comments. The ALN was "XX32" The assessed modules were paid, but the new assessment is not yet assessed Example: Anticipated debt on next year's return due to nonpayment of ES Taxes, open control for AUR, ASFR, or Examination, etc. History items on CC ENMOD, TXMOD, or AMS indicate if the new module was anticipated. AMS does not show the proposed amount of the new assessment. And you are unable to determine the amount of the proposed assessment. Do not reinstate the IA. Send the taxpayer Letter 2272-C, Installment Agreement Cannot Be Considered, with Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request. Advise the taxpayer to send Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, when they receive a bill for the new assessment. The new account balance totals more than ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ (for IMF and OOB Sole Proprietor) The total balance can be paid within 72 months Determine if a lien should be filed.

5.19.10.10.3.7 (04-24-2026) New Debit on Payroll Deduction Installment Agreement - CSCO Processing Payroll Deduction Installment Agreements (PDIA) are identified by the Agreement Locator Number (ALN) 11YY or 91YY. If the account appears on the IAAL because of a new liability: If: Then: The current PDIA monthly payment amount meets SPP for the total liability (current PDIA balance plus new liability) Modify PDIA to include new liability. Send Letter 2318-C, Installment Agreement; Payroll Deduction (F2159), to taxpayer, advising them to notify employer of the change to the PDIA. The current PDIA monthly payment amount does not meet SPP for the total liability (current PDIA balance plus new liability) Send Letter 2318-C, Installment Agreement; Payroll Deduction (F2159), to taxpayer, advising them of the minimum acceptable monthly payment amount. Include Form 2159, Payroll Deduction Agreement. Control the case and give taxpayer 15 days to reply. Monitor case for 30 days. If no response, default PDIA

# -J Freeze or TC 470 CC 94 - Unsubstantiated Math Error

5.19.10.10.3.8 (04-24-2026) -J Freeze or TC 470 CC 94 - Unsubstantiated Math Error A module with a -J freeze or a pending, unreversed TC 470 CC 94, i.e., an unsubstantiated math error, will cause an installment agreement to suspend and appear on the IAAL. It will continue to appear on the IAAL in the suspended category until the freeze/TC 470 CC 94 is released. Take the following action: IF AND THEN The -J freeze and/or TC 470 CC 94 is unreversed, This is the first time the account is reflected on the IAAL Reinstate installment agreement. Send the taxpayer Letter 3127-C, Revision/Reinstatement to Installment Agreement and User Fee Adjustments. Update AMS with comments, "IAAL Suspended due to Math Error; Letter 3127C sent" . The -J freeze and/or TC 470 CC 94 is unreversed, This is not the first time the account has been in the suspended category for the math error condition, Check AMS history for prior IAAL activity. If Letter 3127C was previously sent for this issue, no action needed. If Letter 3127C was not previously sent for this issue, send letter now, following instructions above. -J Freeze/TC 470 CC 94 was reversed, No additional tax has been assessed, Reinstate the agreement with the same terms as before the suspension. User fee remains the same. -J Freeze/TC 470 CC 94 was reversed, Additional tax has been assessed, Determine whether the monthly payment amount meets SPP, within CSED. If the original terms are still acceptable, reinstate the IA. If the IA no longer meets SPP, or the previous CIS is over 1 year old, send Letter 484-C, Collection Information Statement Requested (Form 433F/433D); Inability to Pay, to request Form 433-F, Collection Information Statement, and suspend for 45 days. Include the minimum proposed monthly payment amount we can accept without financial information. Inform them if they cannot pay the minimum monthly payment amount, they should complete and submit Form 433-F. Ask the taxpayer to respond with the requested information within 30 days from date of letter. Default IA using category code NEW MOD.

# RET DEL or TDI MOD

5.19.10.10.3.9 (10-02-2018) RET DEL or TDI MOD An IA will suspend with reason codes "RET DEL," or "TDI MOD" when past due returns have not been filed. If... Then... The IMF IA defaulted due to IRS error and/or suspended, Example: Misapplied payment, or rejected for open TDI after 11/30/1999 If TDI/RET DEL, send Letter 2269-C, Delinquent Individual Return; Insufficient Response/No Record, or appropriate letter to request missing return be filed within 30 days. Document AMS history. If TC 140 is present, shelve the TDI module with a TC 598 CC 082, allowing the current IA to continue. Reinstate the IA for TDI/RET DEL. If the account is other than 6X, enter the "original agreement acceptance date" on line 7 of CC "IAORG" . Note: See the Exhibit in IRM 2.4.30-3, Command Code IAORG, Item 21, to ensure correct failure to pay penalty is charged. Waive the reinstatement user fee. If the IA is accepted in error and input via CC IAPND, when the return posts, the CC IAPND defaults on the IAAL due to open TDI's. Reinstate IA, Send Letter 2269-C, Delinquent Individual Return; Insufficient Response/No Record, or other appropriate letter, and request missing return be filed within 30 days, Document AMS history.

# IAAL Defaulted Category (Status 64)

5.19.10.10.4 (03-23-2020) IAAL Defaulted Category (Status 64) The account appears on the IAAL five cycles after it updates to ST 64 if no action occurs in the interim. Process these accounts immediately to prevent Taxpayer's Delinquent Account (TDA) issuance in seven (7) cycles. Note: There are IMF modules on the IAAL that default and have an aggregate unpaid balance of assessment of ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡. Allow these cases to default. Do not follow the procedures in IRM 5.19.1.6.4.5, Account Statuses Affecting IAs. Put comments on AMS "Exceeds Campus Authority" . CP 523, Default on Your Installment Agreement (IA) Notice - Intent to Terminate Your IA, is issued when account goes into ST 64. The IA defaults and the status changes from ST 60, and ST 63 in some instances, to ST 64 when the following conditions occur: Installment Agreement Action Description DEFAULTED-PMT INS The required payment was not made DEFAULTED-BAD CHK The payment was dishonored DEFAULTED-F/S OLD Failure to provide requested financial information DEFAULTED-C/R DFL A manual default was input using CC IADFL due to a default on a cross reference account DEFAULTED-NEW MOD A new balance due module appears on the account. The default can either be systemic or manual DEFAULTED-TDA MOD A balance due module updates to TDA status DEFAULTED-OTHER A manual default was input using CC IADFL for all other conditions. This includes accounts defaulting out of the Suspended category. When defaulting an IA using category code "OTHER " , the CP 523 notice just states that they failed to meet the terms of the IA, it does not explain to the taxpayer why the IA was defaulted. If another category code fits the situation, that code should be used to default the IA.

# IAAL Categories: "ORIGINATION FEE TRACKING" , "REINSTATEMENT FEE TRACKING" , and "DISHONORED CHECKS" (formerly "USER FEE ERROR LISTING" )

5.19.10.10.12 (04-24-2026) IAAL Categories: "ORIGINATION FEE TRACKING" , "REINSTATEMENT FEE TRACKING" , and "DISHONORED CHECKS" (formerly "USER FEE ERROR LISTING" ) The User Fee is deducted from the payment in CP 521, Installment Agreement Reminder Notice, processing and applied to the User Fee module: MFT 13: BMF MFT 55: IMF Note: For definition, see IRM 5.19.1.6.4.6.1, User Fee Modules (MFT 13 and MFT 55). IDRS generates a listing on the IAAL under two categories for all payments, regardless of status, where there is: No Agreement User Fee Code inconsistent Duplicate Origination Fee Duplicate Restructuring/Reinstatement Fee Dishonored Checks The "ORIGINATION FEE TRACKING" heading category includes only: Origination paid discrepancies Duplicate payment(s) Dishonored checks When the billing record shows the origination fee was paid, and a TC 694/DPC 50 or 49 posts in the current cycle, the account is listed under the origination tracking category. The "REINSTATEMENT FEE TRACKING" heading category only includes: Reinstatement paid discrepancies Duplicate payment(s) Dishonored checks When the billing record shows the reinstatement fee was paid and a TC 694/DPC 51 posts in the current cycle, the account is listed under the reinstatement tracking category. CSCO must determine what the billing record should reflect and if any other action is needed. Note: The billing record is defined as: IDRS — IADIS user fee codes 0 - 9. This listing generates due to the MFT 13/55 reflecting a duplicate or possible mismatch of the TC 694. Both origination and reinstatement fee tracking categories include dishonored checks. When a check is dishonored, identify the accounts by a reversed TC 694 with a TC 695 Doc Code 87. Accounting Operations also inputs TC 361. When these appear on the IAAL listing, the fee is set as "Not Paid" . CSCO must review and/or reverse the correct code. In both categories, including Dishonored Check information, research the account to determine if the user fee is a: A true duplicate Discrepancy, or Dishonored check Based on this determination, take the appropriate action and update the fee Example: Transfer, abate, etc. In most instances, MFT 13/55 does not display on IDRS; research these accounts using CC CFOL. Caution: When researching the account, a duplicate fee paid may actually be due and collected because of the account leaving ST 6X and another IA or reinstatement was established or initiated, creating a new Origination or Reinstatement fee billing. For true duplicate fees collected see paragraph (15) below. Example: Before January 1, 2017, the taxpayer incurred a user fee of $120.00, paid the fee, and later defaulted, subsequently initiating on or after January 1, 2017, a new origination fee of $225.00. In this scenario, both fees are due, but may reflect on the listing as a duplicate fee because of the duplicate TC 694; this example requires no transfer/abatement of the fee. Discrepancies may result in the TC 694 with the incorrect DPC code of 49 - 51. The mismatches often occur because the IA was IAREV, or revised, in some way after the bill for the user fee went out and the time this fee payment comes in. Research IDRS or Master File to determine if the incorrect DPC code 49 - 51 should be revised on IDRS or the User Fee Example: On or after January 1, 2017, a $225.00 origination fee was due; however, the incorrect DPC user fee reflects only a $50.00 fee collected; this example requires a correction of the additional $175.00 applied towards the user fee. Transfer, per paragraph (15) below. Example: On or after January 1, 2017, the taxpayer only actually owes a reinstatement user fee of $89.00 and the incorrect origination fee of $225.00 was collected; therefore, creating a $136.00 overpayment. This example requires a correction of the overpaid portion of the fee, transfer per paragraph (17) below. To update the user fee: Initiate CC IAREV The CC IAGRE displays CC IAREV if there is an IA (ST 60) To update the screen, input "0" in the "Review Account" field Proceed to the "User Fee CD" field and update with the appropriate user fee code Reminder: Only update the user fee code on ST 60 accounts; for other status accounts, take no action on updating the user fee code. These accounts are updated if the agreement is re-input or reinstated with the appropriate user fee due. To transfer or abate a user fee payment: see IRM 5.19.1.6.4.6.3, User Fee Payment Transfer/User Fee Abatements. Reminder: When transferring or abating the fee, ensure to update the fee on ST 60 accounts per paragraphs (12) through (14) above. If more than one duplicate user fee is deducted, it may be an indicator the taxpayer is submitting a copy of the original CP 521, Installment Agreement Reminder Notice, with subsequent installment payments: Make two attempts to contact the taxpayer by telephone with instructions to avoid this condition occurring in the future. If unable to reach the taxpayer, send Letter 3127-C, Revision/Reinstatement to Installment Agreement, to explain the circumstances. Create a history item on ENMOD and add the reason the duplicate fee is appropriate to AMS. Example: "DUP-UF-LTR" For all other information regarding user fees, refer to the following IRM references for a complete overview, identification, establishment, module identification, and fee payment/abatement: IRM 5.19.1.6.4.6, IA Payment Methods and User Fees (UF) Overview IRM 5.19.1.6.4.6.1, User Fee Modules (MFT 13 and MFT 55) IRM 5.19.1.6.4.6.2, Manual Establishment of a User Fee Module IRM 5.19.1.6.4.6.3, User Fee Payment Transfer/User Fee Abatements

# MFT 31 Category on the IAAL

5.19.10.10.13 (08-17-2021) MFT 31 Category on the IAAL Installment Agreements are not transferred to MFT 31 modules when accounts are mirrored. The TINs generate on the IAAL for necessary action. Four weeks after appearing on the IAAL, review the accounts and determine the status of the IA prior to the mirroring. If the account was mirrored due to Innocent Spouse activity, follow the chart below: If... Then... The IA on the joint account defaulted and CP 523, IMF Installment Agreement Default Notice, was issued Take no action. The IA on the joint account would default; however, the mirroring of the account prevented the default. Example: MFT 30 200212, Balance: .00, Status 12MFT 30 200312, Balance: 2,000.00, Status 21The MFT 30 200212 module was mirrored (MFT 31), but a new liability posted (MFT 30 200312). Re-establish the IA on the joint account, the balance due modules should now be MFT 31, and immediately default the agreement. This causes the CP 523, IMF Installment Agreement Default Notice, to generate. Note: If the joint account has an L— freeze, send Form 4442, Inquiry Referral, to CCP and request they issue a default Letter 2975-C, Notice of Intent to Levy - Intent to Terminate Your Installment Agreement (Spouse) - Certified Mail, to the taxpayer. The IA was only for modules now mirrored There is a balance due, now on MFT 31 No activity occurred resulting in the IA defaulting Re-establish the IA on the account without an L− freeze (nonpetitioning spouse). The IA is still active (ST 61) on nonmirrored module(s) in the joint account only Example: MFT 30 200212, Balance: .00, Status 12MFT 30 200312, Balance: 2,000.00, Status 61MFT 31 200212, Balance: 1,200.00, Status 21 Re-establish the IA and add the MFT 31 module . Waive the user fee and allow the skip. In all cases where the IA is re-established, use the same terms present on the MFT 30 modules. Do not change the user fee code current on IAREV; if the current user fee code is: "O" , it should remain as "O" "R" , it should remain as "R" In this scenario, allow the skip.

All collection action (e.g. notices, letters, telephone calls, liens, levies, installment agreements, etc.) will be stopped during this time period. In addition, all penalties and interest will be waived on any balance due accounts. The start date of the suspense period begins the day following the transaction date of the TC 500, Closing Code XX (entry date). The ending date of the suspense period is calculated from the transaction date of the TC 500 Closing Code XX (exit date) plus 180 days for Balance Due cases. On return delinquencies for 2001 and subsequent period, the taxpayer will be given up to 180 days plus 105 (106 leap year) days of grace time if the taxpayer was in the CZ for that tax year or filing season from the transaction date of TC 500 closing code XX (entry date).

The accrual of penalties and interest is suspended from the entry date to the exit date, plus at least 180 days. Compute penalties and interest from their transaction date to the date of the TC 500 cc 52, 54 or 56 (entry date). Then compute the penalties and interest from the TC 500 cc 53, 55 or 57 (exit date) plus 180 days. The account may require the addition of penalties erroneously abated by the computer. These accounts can be identified by the presence of a TC 277 and/or TC 167 in balance due modules assessed prior to entering the CZ. The taxpayer is still liable for these penalties. Compute these penalties from the return due date to the entry date into the CZ and update the account on IDRS using CC ADJ54.

# IAAL Military Combat - Reinstatement of Installment Agreements

5.19.10.10.14.3 (01-15-2013) IAAL Military Combat - Reinstatement of Installment Agreements CZ accounts previously in ST 60 will be printed on the IAAL under the heading "Military Combat" . It is important that these accounts are worked within two cycles to prevent them from automatically updating to ST 20 and issuing the first balance due notice (CP 501, IMF 1st Notice - Balance Due). Use the following instructions for contacting the taxpayer regarding their prior agreement. For cases appearing on the IAAL under Military Combat: Send Letter 2702-C, Combat Zone, informing the taxpayer that the prior IA has been reinstated unless the taxpayer wishes to full pay the balance due or change the date of payment and/or the payment amounts. Letter 2702-C, Combat Zone, must include the updated balance due amount and that full payment will be expected, if the terms of the agreement are not met. The updated balance due amount will require the manual computation of interest and penalties to allow for the suspended period. Input a STAUP 56 for XX cycles (determine number of cycles remaining in suspense). The account will immediately update to ST 48. Input the IA using CC IADIS. Ensure that the automatic skip indicator is set to allow the taxpayer to miss one payment before the account is defaulted for nonpayment. Note: No reinstatement user fee will be charged.

# Manual Calculations of a CSED Using the Julian Date Calendar

Exhibit 5.19.10-8 Manual Calculations of a CSED Using the Julian Date Calendar Use when the transaction date does not extend past the calendar year: STEP Action 1 Identify the assessment on the tax module. (TC 150, Return Posted, TC 290 or TC 300, additional assessments etc.) 2 Take the date of the assessment (TC 150, TC 290, TC 300) and add 10 years. This is the original CSED date of that assessment. For example: If a taxpayer's return posted (TC 150) on 04-15-2005, the original CSED is 04-15-2015. 3 Take the original CSED and exchange the date of 04-15-2015 with the corresponding Julian Date using Document 5657, Enterprise Computing Center - MTB 2023-2026 Posting Cycle Calendar, or the Julian Date Calendar. For example: 04-15-2015 Julian date is 105. (2015 is not a leap year). 4 Review the tax module to identify any transactions that suspend the CSED. (TC 480, TC 780, TC 520, TC 521 etc.) Take the date of the beginning TC such as TC 480 or TC 520, and exchange the date for the corresponding Julian date using Document 5657, Enterprise Computing Center - MTB 2023-2026 Posting Cycle Calendar, or Julian Date Calendar. For example if TC 480 is on the account with a date of 05-01-2005, the Julian date is 121. 5 Take the closing transaction or the transaction that ends the CSED extension, such as TC 780 or TC 521, and exchange the date for the corresponding Julian date. If TC 780 is dated 06-30-2005 the Julian date is 181. 6 Then take the larger Julian date and subtract the smaller Julian Date. In the above example, 181-121=60, The CSED is extended 60 days. 7 Add the result in step 6 to the Julian date of the original CSED. (105 and add 60 days) 105+60=165. Find the date corresponding to Julian date (165). It is June 14. N/A The new CSED for the module in this example is 06-14-2015.

# Manual Calculations of a CSED Using the Julian Date Calendar

Exhibit 5.19.10-9 Manual Calculations of a CSED Using the Julian Date Calendar Use when the transaction date extends past the calendar year: STEP ACTION 1 Review the module and find the assessment (TC 150, TC 290 or TC 300). 2 Take the assessment date and add 10 years, this is the Original CSED date. Example 04-15-2005 + 10 years= 4-15-2015. 3 Exchange the original CSED date of 04-15-2015 with the corresponding Julian date of 04-15-2015 using Document 5657, Enterprise Computing Center - MTB 2023-2026 Posting Cycle Calendar, or the Julian Date Calendar. The corresponding Julian date of 04-15-2015 is 105 (2015 is not a leap year). 4 Review the tax module to identify any transactions that suspend the CSED. (TC 480, TC 780, TC 520, TC 521 etc.) Take the date of the beginning TC, such as TC 480 or TC 520, and exchange the date for the corresponding Julian date of that day using Document 5657, Enterprise Computing Center - MTB 2023-2026 Posting Cycle Calendar, or Julian Date Calendar. For example, if a TC 480 is on the account with a date of 11-01-2005, the Julian date is 305. 5 If the closing transaction date is in the following year, (Example: TC 780 is 02-01-2006), take the ending Julian date for year 2005 (2005 is not a leap year, so the Julian date would be 365) subtract the Julian date from the opening TC 480. (365-305=60). From 11-01-2005 to 12-31-2005 the CSED was extended 60 days. Then find the corresponding Julian date of the TC 780 in 2006 (not a leap year) and add to the 60 days. The Julian date of 02-01-2006 is 32; add 60+32=92. The CSED will be extended for a total of 92 days. 6 Take the Julian date of the Original CSED (105) and add the amount of CSED extension (92 days). 105+92=197. 7 Find the date corresponding to the Julian date (197). It is 07-16-2015. N/A The CSED for the module in this example is 07-16-2015.
