The primary focus of Accounts Management Taxpayer Assurance Program is revenue protection. The tax examiner needs to be alert for any refunds that are about to be released, but should be held according to the criteria in the IRM 21.9.1.
-
This section provides operational guidelines for utilizing the Electronic Fraud Detection System (EFDS) to screen paper and electronically filed returns to verify the accuracy of taxpayer's wages and withholding.
-
This section contains procedures for:
-
Screening - the process of reviewing income and withholding information. Income documents not initially verifiable are sent to the verification process.
-
CASE Management - the system used to sort, manage, and work inventory
-
Verification - the process to verify the validity of Income Document(s) (IDOC).
-
Reject Resolution - the process to identify and correct cases which have rejected out of the assigned inventory.
-
Identity Theft - the process to identify and correct ID theft accounts.
-
-
The primary responsibility in screening paper or electronically filed (ELF) returns is to detect false wages and withholding on individual tax returns. Paper and ELF returns are scored through a process called Data Mining (DM). DM identifies suspicious paper and ELF returns meeting DM score tolerances.
-
Screening uses a variety of highlighted fields and duplicate condition buttons on the Return Detail Screen (RDS) in EFDS. Special select codes also can provide additional information. The use of these buttons or codes may assist in the determination of return disposition.
-
Follow these steps to screen ELF returns selected by DM starting with the earliest "Stop Date" .
-
Log into the workload management system (WMS)
-
Select review from the EFDS main menu bar
-
Select "Prescan"
-
Ensure the DM Queue Box is checked under "Set Chunk Criteria"
-
Select "Get Chunk"
-
-
The Return Chargeout (RCO) is needed to screen paper returns selected by DM. Follow these steps and see IRM 21.9.1.4, Return Chargeout Process:
-
Log into the WMS System
-
Select "Query", from the EFDS main menu bar
-
Select "Return" , to access the Return Query Screen
-
Enter the SSN or DLN on the Return Query Screen
-
Bring up the return on EFDS to begin screening

Note:
All IDOC(s) attached to the return must be screened at the same time see IRM 21.9.1.2.2, IRPTR Return Verification involving IDOC(s) attached to the return.
-
A return is said to be Pre-Refund if the refund can be stopped, has been stopped, or offset to another obligation. A return is considered to be Post-Refund if the refund has been issued or can not be stopped. The Stop Date in EFDS will be used to determine if a return is Pre-Refund or Post-Refund. The tax examiner must review the account on Integrated Data Retrieval System to determine if the return is Pre-Refund or Post-Refund in the following instances:
-
the refund is being issued as a paper check
-
the EFDS stop date displays ERS
-
the EFDS stop date has passed per IDRS
If a data mining screened return is a post-refund return, input a Return note in EFDS stating, "Post Refund Refile" and update the return disposition to" Refile" . These instructions do not apply to Screening Behind the Buttons returns, Bank Leads or CI screened returns.
Exception:
Returns meeting OMM Criteria will be dispositioned to ACE/Collections even if the refund is lost. See IRM 21.9.1.3.1, Operation Mass Mailing (OMM) Returns.

Before entering employer information into the EFDS system, research EFDS or IDRS for a validity check on the EIN and employer data. Command Codes (CC) ENMOD, INOLE, NAMEE can be utilized as well as the EIN employer check in the add IDOC(s) section of EFDS. Check CC FINDED if no information is found on CC NAMEE.
If ... And ... Then ... The information on the IDOC(s) does not match IDRS There is an EIN on the IDOC(s) or one is found during your research and there is BMF information on IDRS for the EIN -
Enter the information from the IDOC(S) into the IDOC area of the return detail screen
-
Input into notes any research performed
-
Disposition the IDOC to Verify or disposition the return to Add to Scheme as appropriate
The information on the IDOC(s) does not match IDRS There is no EIN on the IDOC, or one was not found during research, or there is no BMF information on IDRS for the EIN of the IDOC -
Input research data
-
Input the EIN, company Name/Address, Wage/Withholding amount from the IDOC in the return notes.
-
To stop the refund see IRM 21.9.1.2.3, Stopping the Refund.
-
Send any IDOC(s) needing verification by contacting the employer to Manual Verification by putting them in your site's manual verification CASE. See IRM 21.9.1.8.4, Manual Verification Process.
-
Disposition the return to ACE/ADJ.
There are multiple IDOC(s) attached to the return At least one of the IDOC(s) does not have an EIN on the IDOC or there is no BMF information on IDRS for that EIN -
Follow the instructions above for inputting the IDOC(s) with EIN information and inputting the information from the IDOC(s) without EIN information.
-
b)Input any research data and information in the return notes for the problem IDOC(s).
-
c)Send the IDOC(s) to verification by putting the return in your site's manual verification CASE. See IRM 21.9.1.2.8.4, Manual Verification.
-
Disposition return to ACE/ADJ
The information on the IDOC(s) does match IDRS -
Enter the correct information exactly as shown into IDOC area in the return detail screen
-
-
The Data Mining Screening tolerance and/or a refund amount tolerance determines which returns need screening. When the return meets the two tolerances, it is assigned a value. AMTAP management selects chunks of work using filters. The tax examiner (TE) selects the work for reviewing and makes one of the following dispositions on the return:
-
Verify - Indicates the income and withholding needs to be verified with the employer shown on the income document.
-
Research - Indicates further research is needed to determine the disposition.
-
Refile - Indicates no further research is needed and the refund can be released (if the refund was stopped)
-
ACE/Collections - ACE/COLL indicates that the return has been identified as part of Operation Mass Mail (OMM) .
-
ACE/Adjustments - ACE/ADJ indicates the return has been selected for the manual verification process.
-
ACE/Examination - ACE/EXAM indicates a 4115C letter has been sent to the taxpayer requesting additional information.
-
Add to Scheme - Indicates the return has been verified false (or partially false) as filed.
-
-
Screening Paper Returns - When screening a paper return and the return disposition is changed to Verify, Research or add to Scheme. All IDOC(s) attached to the return must be added to EFDS, see IRM 21.9.1.2, Screening. When adding IDOC(s) to EFDS for married filed jointly returns, delete the name that does not appear on the IDOC. If one IDOC is sent to verification, then all IDOC(s) must be sent to verify. After a paper return has been screened and properly stamped, the Return Charge Out (RCO) should be placed in the “Classified Waste Bin” and the return sent to files. Close the IDRS Control base.

The Return Verification Table using CC IRPTR: The table can be used for the return verification ONLY if the IRPTR data for the tax year of the return is available.
-
AMTAP and CI will use "CC IRPTR" to verify IDOC(s) for current and prior year returns before dispositioning to verify.
-
Any returns filed for the current processing year will not be dispositioned to "BAD" based solely on "CC IRPTR" until the majority of "CC IRPTR" return data is available.
Note:
AMTAP HQ determines IRPTR data is fully available for utilization. Business units will be notified when the majority of data is available. Screen the return using Data Mining Screening Tree see IRM 21.9.1.2.1, Data Mining Screening.
-
IDOC(s) attached to the return need to be verified at the same time.
-
If more than one IDOC is attached to the return, compare the information on each IDOC to the information on CC IRPTR for the same EIN. If there is more than one IDOC for an EIN, the wages and withholding may need to be totaled and then compared.
-
Sometimes a return is filed with only one IDOC for the total wages and withholding instead of an IDOC for each employer. Besides comparing the CC IRPTR information for the EIN on the return IDOC, compare the return wages and withholding to the total wages and withholding shown on CC IRPTR.
If the return is filed for the And IRPTR data for the IDOC EIN(s) Then annotate the Return Detail Screen Note with And Disposition Return as Prior Year or Current Year Return ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Refile Prior Year or Current Year return ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Refile Current Year Is available and does not fall within the above money amount or percentage limits nn-nnnnnnn (EIN) IRPTR mismatch greater than XX "either a percentage or dollar amount" For Current Year Return (before August 1st), screen the return using the Data Mining Screening Tree see IRM 21.9.1.2.1 Current Year Is not available nn-nnnnnnn (EIN) no xxxx (Tax Period) IRPTR data for this EIN, return is not valid as filed For Current Year Return (before August 1st), screen the return using the Data Mining Screening Tree see IRM 21.9.1.2.1 Prior Year Is available and does not fall within the above money or percentage limits (consider verified false incorrect money) nn-nnnnnnn (EIN) IRPTR mismatch greater than XX (either percentage or dollar amount) Add to Scheme see IRM 21.9.1.2.4, Adding to Scheme Prior Year Return Is not available consider verified false nn-nnnnnnn (EIN) No xxxx (tax period) IRPTR data, return is not valid as filed Add to Scheme see IRM 21.9.1.2.4, Adding to Scheme -
-
Generally returns with IDOC(s) dispositioned to “Verify” before the refund stop date will follow an automatic EFDS process to stop the refund. Returns that require manual verification or have unsupported withholding, etc., will require the TE to manually stop the refund.
-
To manually stop a refund the TE will input TC 971 AC 134. If there is insufficient time for the TC 971/134 to post and stop the refund, the TE "must" , also input the appropriate NOREF or NOREFE see IRM 2.4.37 , Command Code NOREF Overview.
-
If a 971/134 was input and stopped the refund you do not need to open an IDRS control base
-
If NOREF/NOREFE was input, open a control base and monitor the control base for the posting of the P- Freeze. Close the base when the refund is stopped or lost.
Note:
If another action stops the refund, close the NOREF/NOREFE control base.
-
If unable to input a 971/134 or NOREF/NOREFE on a account, open the following control base: C#,Needs-570,A, PPRFZ. Monitor the account on Master File until the refund can be stopped. Follow the procedures above and close (or change) the "NEEDS - 570" base (as appropriate).
Note:
If the return has a credit balance, the input of TC 971 AC 134 will systemically hold the refund for 11 cycles. It also generates a CP 05 notice advising the taxpayer we are holding their refund until we complete a more thorough review. It may be necessary to take additional actions to hold the refund after the 11 cycle freeze if a permanent freeze has not posted and the final return disposition is uncertain.
-
-
If it is determined that a manually stopped refund can be released, release the refund using CC REQ54 with a TC 290 for .00.
Note:
Before releasing a refund analyze IDRS using CC TXMOD to determine that another area will not be impacted. . If the TC 150 has not yet posted on Master File, input a TC 972 AC 134 to release the refund instead of the TC 290 for .00.

-
If a pattern is detected, prioritize your pattern and input in the return notes the dup buttons that applied to your pattern (e.g Dup. WW, Dup zip code, Dup IP, etc.) and disposition the returns that match your pattern.
-
For paper returns found behind the buttons, if the "Resequence Indicator" is set to 1, take no action to disposition the return. The return will be worked by the site assigned to the RCO. If selecting a paper return for verification, research AMS for a CIS image, to see if the return is available to print. If the return is available to print, continue with your screening process. If the return is not available to print, take the following actions:
-
Stop the refund, see (2) under IRM 21.9.1.2.3, Stopping the Refund.
-
Input a return note in EFDS "Selected for Verification" , return ordered and refund held.
-
Disposition the returns to "Research"
-
Request the return using CC ESTAB and open the following IDRS base C#, ESTAB1,A,ESCN
-
If the return is not received within 14 days, initiate a second request for the return using CC ESTAB with definer V to expedite.
-
Update ESTABI activity code of the control base to ESTAB2.
-
If the return is received from either ESTAB request, close the IDRS control base RTNRECD, update the EFDS return notes “RTNRECD”, and continue the verification process.
-
If the return is not received from files 14 days after the second ESTAB update the IDRS base activity code to 418C-NNN where NNN is equal to the Julian date of the 418C letter is sent plus 45 days and update the receive date on IDRS to the current date. Send a 418 C letter using the appropriate paragraphs, Signature Code "KA" , and the return address code for your AMTAP location.
-
If a return copy is received from the taxpayer, close the IDRS control base using activity code RTNRECD, update the EFDS returns notes to “RTNRECD” and continue the verification process.
-
If no response is received after 45 days, or an Undeliverable is received, close the IDRS control base, update the EFDS return note “No Response 418C” or “Undeliverable 418C”, as appropriate, and add to scheme. See IRM 21.9.1.2.4, Adding to Scheme.
-
If the return disposition is changed to “Refile”, the TE will release the refund (if needed using CC REQ54 with a TC 290 .00), and close all appropriate AMTAP control bases. Valid return refunds must be released timely.
-
-
Questionable Returns are set aside by the business units for further review. Some areas refer to these as Funny box returns. The return data may or may not be present in EFDS (data mining may have already selected the return). Screen these returns to determine if the income documents need to be verified.
-
Returns may be identified as questionable by other business functions including pipeline (Submission Processing) and non-pipeline (Accounts Management, TAS, etc.).
-
AMTAP will verify the questionable returns and provide feedback to the business units and coordinate the timing of the review of questionable returns. Review time frames may change based on volumes and program completion dates.
-
Campus Functions such as Accounts Management or TAS may refer questionable returns to be screened. These returns will be screened using normal screening procedures. See IRM 21.9.1.2, Screening.
-
For Statute Imminent or Expired returns, Follow Normal Screening Procedures. Verify the Return using IRPTR
-
If return verifies good - Refile the return
-
If return verifies bad - Add to Scheme, see IRM 21.9.1.2.2, IRPTR Return Verification for the required return notes.

The returns received in AMTAP may come from any of the following business areas; Extracting, Code and Edit, Data Conversion, ERS and Notice Review. Funny box returns will be separated into two Funny boxes:
-
Non-OMM Funny box
-
OMM Funny box
-
-
All funny Box returns will first be screened using the OMM Matrix IRM 21.9.1-11. OMM returns will be processed following IRM 21.9.1.3.1, Operation Mass Mailing (OMM) returns.
-
Non-OMM Funny Box returns will then be screened into two groups, 'No AMTAP Interest' and 'AMTAP Interest'. AMTAP Interest returns are those meeting AMTAP criteria.
-
Returns designed as 'No AMTAP Interest' will be stamped in the upper left hand corner and returned to SP for processing.

-
-
-
Any return identified as Operation Mass Mailing (OMM) scheme needs special handling. For the OMM Funny box criteria see Exhibit 21.9.1-11, OMM MATRIX. These returns are to be treated as nullities and therefore should not be processed. All unprocessed OMM returns will be stored at each site by date order, See IRM 1.15.4.6, Retiring Tax Related Records Protected by Internal Revenue Code Section 6103 or Classified Records. Also see IRM 3.5.61.5.3, Retirement of Internal Revenue Records to the Federal Records Center. Following procedures are OMM processing guidelines:
IF THEN A current processing year OMM return is found when "Screening" -
Query the return in EFDS
-
Disposition the return to "ACE/Collections"
-
Input EFDS Return Note: "OMM"
-
Stop the refund as appropriate. See IRM 21.9.1.2.3, Stopping the Refund
A prior processing year OMM return is found when "Screening" -
Input EFDS Return Note: "OMM in prior year" EFDS notes
-
Add the return to the OMM processed return data base
-
Establish the entity on IDRS CC ENMOD using: "AMTAP" as the one name line, IRS as the service center address, Austin, TX 73301 as the city, street and zip.
-
Stop the refund as appropriate, see IRM 21.9.1.2.3, Stopping the Refund
A unprocessed OMM return is found in the OMM Funny box (i.e. Code & Edit) -
AMTAP will retain the original document
-
Enter the return in the OMM data base
-
Establish the entity, if necessary follow the procedures in IRM 3.12.10.2.1, Name Control/Tin Mismatch, to establish the entity on ENMOD using the Service Center address
Note:
If the SSN does not exist in the SSA data base do not create the entity.
-
Each site will store the returns in date order
Note:
These returns are subject to review. Use local procedures to ensure these returns are available for quality review
A processed OMM return is found in the OMM Funny box (i.e. Rejects) -
Request ERS Rejects void the DLN. If the DLN is successfully voided, follow unprocessed OMM instructions above (OMM Funny Box)
-
If ERS Rejects was unable to void the DLN, follow current processing year OMM return found when screening above
OAR/ITAR (Form 14103) is received for a previously identified OMM return/or has an OMM return attached -
Check EFDS for return data and notes
-
If needed, request the taxpayer's return for processing. When appropriate, use "CC ESTAB" to secure a paper return from files or "CC TRPRT" for an e-filed return
Note:
A copy of the return for the true taxpayer may also be obtainable via CIS View. If so, make a CIS print.
-
Screen the possible "good return" through the OMM Matrix. If determined NOT to be OMM criteria, screen the return through the DM Screening Tree. Verify/Refile the return in EFDS as appropriate.
-
Manually verify the income if necessary.
-
If "Verified Good", add a history item to CC TXMOD, such as: "150NOTOMM. "
-
Input a TC 971/506 OMMGB, edit the return with "SPC B", and stamp AMTAP in left hand corner of the return and edit the return with the received date from the voided return.
-
-
Prepare the return for processing, edit true TP's rec'd date in red on return per IRM 21.5.2.4.23.7, Coding and Editing Procedures,
Note:
If CIS print, edit the top of the print (return) "CIS IMAGE" ( Do not correspond for signatures)
-
OAR - Once the actions have been taken on the case, the TE notates the actions and sends the OAR to TAS and TAS will forward the return to processing.
-
ITAR - Send the return to SP for processing, make a copy of the return, open a generic control base and monitor the return to post. Once all actions have been taken, the TE will notate actions taken and fax the case back to IPSU.
-
If the return meets OMM criteria OR the income verifies bad:
-
Inform TAS/IPSU the return will not be processed.
-
Send the return back to TAS/IPSU (Form 14103) for appropriate actions.
-
For unprocessed OMM returns, enter the return in the OMM database.
-
For processed OMM returns, disposition the return to ACE/Collections, if on EFDS.
-
For a return where the income verified bad, add to scheme if applicable. Verify bad, add to scheme if applicable.
-
-
-
To ensure all actions have been taken on “OMM and Non-OMM Returns” complete the following:
-
On a regular basis, run the spreadsheets, through the GII to input the TC 971, AC 506, MISC field WI AMTAP OMM and letter 4310C is not issued. See Exhibit 21.9.1-7, Miscellaneous Fields used when inputting Transaction Code 971 Action Code 506.

Data Mining Screening for paper returns is accomplished through the Return Charge Out (RCO) process. Return Charge Outs (RCO(s)) are printed for each paper return meeting data mining screening criteria. RCO(s) are printed utilizing the Workload Management System (WMS) or through a Discoverer query process at each IMF paper processing site.
-
Two RCO(s) are printed for each paper return hitting DM tolerances. The following control base "C#,Activitycode,A,ESCN/06NNN22222," , will be established on IDRS for each account. The activity code must contain the acronym "RCO" .
-
A TC 971 AC 134 will be input on IDRS to stop the refund. See IRM 21.9.1.2.3, Stopping the Refund.
-
The note: "RCO" add to EFDS. disposition the return to research. AMTAP will follow established procedures to request return(s), issue letters, and determine no reply. Once established procedures have been completed (i.e. suspense period, number of RCO requests , return requests etc.). Add note in EFDS: No IDOC/No Reply, and push to STARS.
-
The two RCO(s) are sent to Error Resolution (ERS) to obtain the returns. dailyIf ERS is unable to locate the return(s), the RCO is sent to files. Returns received from files and ERS through the RCO process are brought to AMTAP. If three days have passed since the RCO was sent to files, follow the procedures in #2 below to initiate a new request for the return using CC ESTAB.
-
The RCO(s) received from ERS and files are distributed to the AMTAP TE’s to take the appropriate actions. RCO and ESTAB paper returns must be screened and sent to files within ten business days of the date the return was received in AMTAP.
-
When the return is received with the RCO, continue the screening process. Update the IDRS control base with RTNRECD, and update EFDS return notes with "RTNRECD"
Note:
If a Frivolous return is found during the RCO process, route the return to the Frivolous area. In EFDS insure the refund has been stopped and add note in EFDS: Frivolous return and push to STARS.
-
Close the RCO control base after the RCO has been worked.
-
-
If a RCO is returned from files without a return, initiate a new request for the return using CC ESTAB.
Note:
If a RCO and EFDS have sufficient data to determine that the return can be dispositioned to "Refile" , it is not necessary to ESTAB the return. If a return disposition is changed to "Refile" , the TE will release the refund, if stopped, and close appropriate AMTAP control bases. Valid return refunds must be released timely.
-
Update the RCO control base to reflect the return request ESTABI.
-
If the return is not received within 14 days, initiate a second request for the return using CC ESTAB with definer V to expedite.
-
The RCO control base will be updated to reflect the second ESTAB2.
-
If the return is received from either of the ESTAB request, continue with the screening process, update the IDRS control base RTNRECD and update the EFDS return notes “RTNRECD” RCO. Close the RCO control base after the RCO has been worked.
-
If the return is not received from files 14 days after the second ESTAB request, the TE will update the IDRS base activity code to 0418C-NNN where the NNN is equal to the Julian date the 418C letter is sent plus 45 days and update the received date on the IDRS base to the current date. Send a 418 C letter using the appropriate paragraphs, signature code "KA" and use the return address code for your AMTAP location.
-
If a return is received from the taxpayer, update the IDRS control base with 'RTNRECD' and update the EFDS return notes "RTNRECD" . Close the RCO control base after the RCO has been worked.
-
If no response is received after 45 days, or an undeliverable is received, add the return to Scheme and close the IDRS control base. Update the EFDS return note “No Response to 0418C or undeliverable 418C, as applicable.

An ITIN is used to establish accounts for individuals who are not U. S. citizens. The ITIN allows them to file tax returns only. The ITIN should not be used for employment purposes see IRM 3.21.263.4, ITIN General Processing Information.
-
When Screening an ITIN Return follow the if and then chart:
If Then IRPTR data is "NOT" available for the tax year Perform SSN research ONLY if you have determined through the Screening Tree see IRM 21.9.1.2.1., Data Mining Screening that the return needs to be verified. IRPTR data is available for the tax year: Conduct SSN research if the Data Mining Screening Tree indicates the return should be verified, (prior to verifying the return per the note below). Perform IRPTR queries on all found SSN's - especially a "work assumed" SSN. There are multiple IDOC(s) showing in IRPTR On a "work assumed" SSN and the wages, withholding and employer on the IDOC matches one of these see IRM 21.9.1.2.2, IRPTR Return Verification, consider the IDOC verified OK Note:
When researching for a valid SSN for an ITIN return, utilize IDRS, Accurint, and EFDS prior year return notes. If the ITIN return is a paper return, the IDOC should also be examined for a "work assumed" SSN. If a valid SSN or a "work assumed" SSN is found, it should be entered into EFDS return notes. If a valid SSN is not found, EFDS return notes should indicate that a valid SSN was not found.

Verification of income documents attached to the Individual Master File (IMF) returns is critical to stopping questionable refunds. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is required to notify a taxpayer in advance that a third party may be contacted to help resolve their account. For further information concerning third party notification, see IRM 5.19.5.9. When an IDOC is sent to Verification, WMS will place an IDOC in Suspense for 10 days. Examiners will only be able to view an IDOC when it is in the 10 day suspense period. Generally, income documents include:
-
Forms W-2
-
Forms W-2G
-
Forms 1099
-
Forms 4852 (Substitute for Form W-2 or Form 1099-R)
Exception:
You may receive an OAR from TAS which states TAS informed the taxpayer the employer will be contacted to verify the income document and the taxpayer has agreed to the employer contact. If all the information is on the OAR, you can verify the employer without the 10 day letter or any suspension time. Add a note to EFDS: OAR Received TP agrees to employer contact.
-
-
There are five methods used to verify Income Documents (IDOC):
-
Fax Verification - the request is made by fax
-
Phone Verification - the request is made by a call
-
Disc Verification - income information is (or will be) provided on a disc by the employer.
-
Manual Verification - special handling of cases
-
Case Verification
Note:
Use CC IRPTR first for all types of verification whenever available.
-
-
The Income Verification Table is used to verify income using CC IRPTR. Only, use this table if IRPTR data is available for the tax year. When verifying any IDOC in Contact Employer by the use of CC IRPTR, enter "Per IRPTR" in the Name Field under the appropriate tab in Contact Employer.
If IRPTR data for the IDOC EIN Then annotate the Return Detail Screen Note with Disposition IDOC as ... ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ "Verified using IRPTR," Verified OK ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ "Verified using IRPTR" Verified OK Is available and does not fall within the above money and percentage limits "nn-nnnnnnn (EIN) IRPTR mismatch greater than XX .

When a return is sent for verification, they may have/or need a mode of contact (MOC) assigned in contact employer (CE) in workload management system (WMS). A method of Contact identifies the method in which an employer will be contacted to verify wage/withholding income for an employee. Research to locate missing employer contact information as necessary.
-
By law, employers are not required to provide IRS employees information unless served with a summons/subpoena by a special agent. Therefore, it is critical that proper telephone techniques are developed to the highest degree of efficiency and tact.
Note:
See IRM 21.1.1.7 , Communication Skills, and IRM 21.1.3.2.2 , Authorized and Unauthorized Disclosure, see IRM 11.3.1.11, Facsimile Transmission of Tax Information, for additional information.
-
If an employer has a specific verification request (requests a specific person handle the request or requests all verifications are made on a particular day
-
Change the MOC to Hold, and reason Management
-
Update the specific request in employer notes
-
Elevate the EIN to the lead/manager
Note:
Management will determine if the National Office Interface (NOI) needs to be updated to assign these specific EIN(s) to specific examiners.
-
-
AMTAP has agreed to verify documents that CI has added to Contact Employer regardless of tolerance and refund lost. All IDOC(s) sent to verification must be verified.
-
The Workload Management System (WMS) is used to access the application Contact Employer (CE). CE is used to manage the income verification process at both a National and Local level. The employee will log into WMS and access Contact Employer application from the main menu bar.
-
Documentation in EFDS is essential. When entering remarks in the return notes section caution needs to be used. If the return note being entered applies to the IDOC attached to the return, then the return note is required to start with the EIN of the IDOC. Information placed in the Permanent Instructions field may be used for queries and should contain only pertinent information or as directed by the IRM (example, no employees).
-
If valid contact information is found, contact the employer by the mode of contact (MOC) indicated. The MOC may be:
-
Hold
-
Call OK
-
Fax Only
-
No Selection
-
Gap Fax - One Time Fax
Note:
When a valid contact is made, add a note with the contact name and the date the contact was made.
-
-
If the employer (EIN) only wants to speak to one particular AMTAP person for all future calls, the TE should notify their manager who will submit the EIN assignment request to headquarters.
-
Change the MOC to Hold, and reason Management.
-
Update the specific request in employer notes.
Note:
All IRS employees working tax related matters must provide their name and badge identification number when making phone calls. See IRM 21.1.1.7, Communication Skills, for details.
-
-
If the MOC is Call OK, phone contact is made. If MOC is No Selection, research is required to locate the employer's phone number. The employer must be called to establish a preferred MOC. If the MOC is Fax Only, the fax will automatically generate in the batch fax. See IRM 21.9.1.8.3, Batch Fax.
Reminder:
If the employer asks, you may let them know we contacted the taxpayer at the address of record and informed them third party contact may be made.
-
Update CE if the employer chooses to receive all future verification by a different mode of contact. If they want a one time fax or call, do not update the MOC.
-
Input contact name, secure fax number and telephone number into the Employer Key-in Information.
-
Update the Status Information box to "Send Fax" for every IDOC waiting for verification.
-
Do NOT change MOC to "Fax Only"
-
Do not print fax.
-
-
If contact information (phone or fax number) is not found in Contact Employer, perform additional research using IDRS and internet sources. See Exhibit 21.9.1-1., Internet Research Sources, for some available internet sources.
-
If contact information cannot be found and contact with this employer has never been made in the past and all research has been completed update CE as follows:
-
Set the MOC to Hold, reason Other
-
Complete the pop-up research screen
-
Complete the Research check Sheet
-
Elevate to lead/manager for approval for Bogus Determination.
Note:
Criminal Investigation will then determine if the employer is bogus and will make the IDOC disposition.
-
-
Some EIN(s) may need assignment of Hold, reason: Other. These include:
-
Failed faxes - to stop additional faxes from going out to bad numbers
-
Spanish speaking verifications
-
International phone calls
-
Employer is still waiting on his records (early in the season)
-
Employer states they will send us a disc and its being referred
-
IDOC(s) that are unable to verify or need manager or lead assistance
-
"Expedite Verification Request" process, due to receipt of Operation Assistance Request (OAR) or Refund Inquires.

If the employer refuses to verify the information over the telephone, provide them other options (such as faxing us the information) to assist in the verification. You should ask if they will:
-
verify if the person actually worked there
-
provide the employment dates if the person did work for them.
-
verify the figures you have If the employer only verifies that the employee worked for them but will not provide any other information, document the information in notes. Update CE to disposition ''Employment Only''.
Reminder:
Employers are not required to provide this information, but we should encourage them to do so.

IDOC Disposition Choices:
IDOC Disposition Narrative for Disposition Send Fax -
A fax has been/will be used for this IDOC to obtain information from the employer.
Incorrect Money -
The wages and withholding amounts verified by the employer do not match the figures of the IDOC. When the amounts are entered, CE will automatically check the figures, considering the tolerances and the literal "Incorrect $" will display. This is a final CE disposition.
Employment Only -
Use this disposition when the employer will only verify the taxpayer was employed or when the person you are verifying is the owner of the company and form 941's are required. Contact with the company needs to be made to ensure there is no one else that can verify the information.
-
The system displays the note box. Enter the employment information (for example: dates of employment, verified employment only, etc.) provided in the EFDS return section. This is a final CE disposition.
No Response -
Used only when all research and verification options are exhausted and the IDOC disposition is UTV. This is a final disposition.
Not Employed -
This disposition is used when the employer verifies that the person listed on the IDOC was not employed or had no income from that employer. This is a final CE disposition.
Verified OK -
Employer verified the IDOC information is correct. When this disposition is selected, actual income and actual withholding are automatically set to match the original income and withholding amounts. IDOC(s) with the disposition of Verified OK cause the returns to be systemically refiled. This is a final CE disposition.
-
-
Faxes are systemically generated in EFDS. There are several situations where an automatic fax cannot be used. These must be manually printed to extract them from the batch fax process. Some cases which require manual faxing include:
-
ITIN
-
Gap Faxes
-
-
After the fax is transmitted successfully, file them in date order by either EIN or alphabetical order.
-
If a fax is unsuccessful (example - failed fax) it will be given to an employee and updated to Hold, reason: Other.
-
If the submission of the fax is unsuccessful, verify the contact number and verify it was entered correctly onto the fax. If it was not, re-send the fax using the correct information.
-
Research for a good fax number
-
Research for a phone number - If a valid phone number is found, contact employer for a correct or updated fax number
-
Update Contact Employer and Print FAX in CE
-
-
When the response is received from the employer, update Contact Employer (CE) in EFDS.
-
All successful faxes will be maintained for six months. Faxes can be purged six months after the fax was received from employer..
-
If no response is received from the original fax within 10 business days:
-
Create a second request fax listing with updated fax sheets
-
Obtain initial sent fax from the fax file
-
Place manually created second cover sheet and send fax to employer
-
-
See IRM 21.9.1.8.3, Batch Fax, if the fax is successful.
-
If after two days from the second fax the employer does not respond, a call should be made to the employer to resolve any outstanding verifications.
-
If new contact information is obtained, update Key-in Information in contact Employer, reprint all outstanding faxes and send. Input in employer notes any information removed from Contact Employer Key-in Information and the new contact information you have received from the employer.
-
If the employer does not respond and new contact information cannot be found:
-
Complete the Research Check Sheet, and utilizing IRM 21.9.1.8.2, Telephone Verification and IRM 21.9.1.8.7, Unable to Verify (UTV) Procedures determine the correct disposition the IDOC will need and follow IRM directions accordingly.
-
Set the mode of contact to Hold, reason "Other"
-
-
Employers may call in response to the batch fax. Follow IRM 21.9.1.8.2.2, Completing the Call, to process the information provided by the employer.
-
If the caller asks other questions relating to the verification of income, answer the questions. See possible responses to questions below. This list is not all inclusive and provides some recommended responses. If you are asked a question about verification and you do not know the answer, tell the caller you will research the issue and call them back with an answer.
Caution:
Do NOT provide tax advice. If the employer asks questions about tax issues or account matters, refer them to 1–800–829–1040 for individual income tax questions or 1–800–829–4933 for business related tax questions.
