Command Code FTDPN is used by IRS employees as a calculator for manually computing FTD penalty.

A tabbing feature is available with the command code which enables the user to go from field to field without having to space over each position.

Command Code FTDPN will now allow computation of FTD penalty on liabilities between 100,000.00 and 99,999,999.99 for tax periods 199303 and subsequent. Due to space limitations, when you input million dollar money amounts, do not use commas.

For tax periods 199303 and subsequent, CC FTDPN will now allow the user the option of altering credits for the purposes of FTD penalty computation. A credits screen, after the liability screen on the computation, will display the credits from the tax module. The user may alter the amounts, the dates of the transactions and the transaction codes. A new computation will be displayed computing FTD penalty with the new credits. The program will combine like transaction codes dated the same day.

For tax periods 199303 and subsequent, CC FTDPN will allow the user the option of changing the BASE-PERIOD-CD and the STATE-CD for computation purposes via FTDPNA and FTDPNB screens. FTD penalty will be computed under the deposit requirements of the altered BASE-PERIOD-CD and consider the holidays of the new STATE-CD.

For tax periods 199303 and subsequent, federal and local state holidays will not be considered banking days in computing FTD penalty.

Command Code FTDPN with a definer of A, will result in an FTDPNB input screen display format.

Command Code FTDPN with a blank definer will result in a multiple screen FTDPNB response. These screens display the liabilities from the posted return on the TIF and the FTD penalty computation calculated by the command code. This eliminates the need to manually input the liabilities. If the user wishes to change any of these liabilities, the entry code must be entered either by keying down to an unused line or by keying to the right of the required data on the last significant line. The program will then re-compute the FTD penalty based on the new liability amounts. When overlaying the liabilities, the user has the option of either right or left justifying the liability amounts.

CC FTDPN with definer "G" is used to allow User(s) to compute Form 941, Form 943, Form 945, Form 940, Form CT-1, Form 1042, and Form 944. Generic Account. Authorized User(s) does not need any account on TIF Data Base to compute FTD penalty. IF CC FTDPN with "G" definer is input correctly, a new literal "GENERIC ACCOUNT:" on the 2nd line of the FTDPNB Liability and Credit Screens will be displayed. This will remind user(s) that the CC FTDPN is using a Generic Account and all liabilities and credits will need to be keyed in for computation.

For tax periods 199303 and subsequent, CC FTDPN will have an option that allows user to request an FTD Letter. (Please refer to the Users Guide for the CP 568 FTD Notice Requests through IDRS CC FTDPN.)

For tax periods 199303 and subsequent, CC FTDPN will now allow users the option to review or view CP568 letter request on the screen before deciding to print. CC FTDPN will also display a new informational screen every time users request a letter. This screen lists all Paragraph Codes available when generating a CP568 Letter. In addition, new Paragraph Codes (211 and 212) have been added. Paragraph Code 211, allows users to create an open text on cover letter while Paragraph 212, creates an open text as part of the explanation pages. Once a user input one of these Paragraph Codes, an FTDPNB Text Screen is displayed. This screen will allow users to input up to 15 lines of open text exactly as it appears on the letter. Note, the open text can also be viewed as part of the letter via on-line view function. Note: This review function can be only applied for Form 941. Start from tax period 200612, CC FTDPN for Form 945 and start from tax period 200812 for Form 944 will allow users the option to review or view CP568 letter request on the screen before deciding to print. Once a user input View function on the view page, the standard paragraph and all explanation pages will be displayed on the screen. The user then can select the paragraph code to print on the letter.
