  2. Document Perfection should not receive any program 44340 scannable returns. Scannable means that the returns are:

    • one of the form types listed under for program 44340 above,

    • in the proper format,

    • not torn or mutilated, and

    • not divergent from the Internal Revenue Service format for the current processing year.

    Note:

    Refer any mis-routed scannable returns to your supervisor for correct disposition.

    .

    Exception:

    At the beginning of each season SCRIPS scannable documents may be processed through ISRP as part of annual hub testing.

    1. SCRIPS processable information returns are determined non-scannable for reasons such as ripped, torn, mutilated or cut forms, etc.

    2. Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, attached to non-scannable Information Return submissions will also be considered non-scannable and processed by Document Perfection.

3.11.8.1.3  (01-01-2013)
Paper Information Return Conversion

  1. All Information Return form types received must have been determined to be non-scannable. All procedures in this IRM refer to non-scannable forms.

  2. Information Returns are sorted and batched according to criteria in IRM 3.10.8, Campus Mail and Work Control - Information Return Program and IRM 3.10.73.17, Campus Mail and Work Control - Batching and Numbering. Returns are batched by:

    • Account Type Code

    • Type of Return

    • Tax Year

    • Single or Multiple Return Payers

  3. The information returns may already be numbered. Make sure the block Document Locator Number (DLN) on the returns agree with the DLN on Form 1332, Block and Selection Record. If unnumbered, return the documents to the numbering function.

  4. For multiple return Payer batches, Payer Identifiers are attached to each return when any part of the Payer entity has changes. Payer Identifiers will not be present for single return Payer batches because each return is for a different Payer. At the discretion of campus management,- Document Perfection may attach the Payer Identifier rather than Receipt and Control.

  5. Information returns are placed in batches and sent to the Document Perfection function from Batching or Numbering. Each batch is identified by a Batch Indentifier. A Batch Identifier is a 5 position code and each position is defined as follows:

    Batch Identifier 5 Position Code Definition
    Position Position Code Description
    Position 1 Account Type Code:

    • "B"

    • "C"

    • "P"

    • "T"

    Note:

    The Account Type Code will appear on the batch, on the outside of the computer punch card box (or other batch holder). This code will determine the type of editing needed for the returns in the batch.

    Position 2 Record Identification - Always use "F" .
    Position 3 Hyphen (-)
    Position 4 and Position 5 Return Code(s) - See Exhibit 3.11.8-1 for Return Codes.

3.11.8.1.4  (01-01-2013)
Account Type Code

  1. Each block of Information Returns other than Form 1096 , Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, will have an Account Type Code of "J" , "P" or "T" . Account Type Codes "J" and "T" will only be processed in AUSPC. See Exhibit 3.11.8-3.

  2. Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, are assigned different Account Type Codes than other Information Returns. Account Type Codes "B" and "C" are used for Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. See Exhibit 3.11.8-3. These codes will only be present on Form 1332, Block and Selection Record.

    1. "B" - the Payer furnished the Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. This code should be used even if the Receipt and Control Function had to perfect the entity.

    2. "C" - the Payer did not furnish the Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, and/or a Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, was created by the Receipt and Control function because the "Payer provided transmittal" was not readable, or otherwise usable.

3.11.8.2  (01-01-2013)
Coding and Editing Information Returns

  1. Code all Return Types identically unless otherwise instructed by this manual.

  2. Code all Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, in pencil only.

  3. Other Information Return Types may be coded with red pen or pencil, at the discretion of the site.

3.11.8.2.1  (01-01-2013)
Payer/Payee Business Master File (BMF) Name Line

  1. Trust Name must appear on the first name line. Arrow the Trust Name to the first name line for Trust entities.

  2. Estate names must be included in the first name line. Arrow the Estate Name to the first name line for Estate entities.

  3. Form 5498, IRA Contribution Information, may list the issuing organization as the custodian for the taxpayer. Circle out the issuing organization if this is the case.

  4. Partnership first name line can be a list of partners or the business/trade name. If it is not possible to list all the partners, list the maximum number of names and edit the phrase "ET AL PTR" .

3.11.8.2.2  (01-01-2013)
Payer Name, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) on Payee Returns

  1. In accordance with instructions in IRM 3.10.8, Campus Mail and Work Control - Information Return Processing, a Payer Identifier has been attached to the first return of each batch and to each subsequent return in which a change in Payer occurs. Edit the payer area of each information return attached to a Payer Identifier in the following manner (treat Single Return Payer batches as if a Payer Identifier were attached to each return).

    1. If a TIN is not present, research. If still unable to locate after researching CFOL command codes, contact the Payer to determine the correct TIN. If it cannot be determined from other returns for that Payer, edit "9-" . ISRP will convert this to 999999999.

    2. If the Payer name is not present or cannot be determined from other returns for that Payer, route to Receipt and Control IRP Sort Unit for correspondence.

      Exception:

      Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc, and Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings where IRP sort unit has edited the Payer as "Unknown."

  2. Circle out "NO TIN" foreign Payer addresses present on Payee documents.

  3. Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, and related Payee forms must:.

    1. have the same Payer name and TIN, and

    2. if different or blank, use the information from the Payee form to make them the same Payer.

3.11.8.2.3  (01-01-2013)
Payee Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

  1. If the Payee Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is not in the proper box, draw an arrow from the TIN to the box provided for the payee's identification number.

  2. If the Payee TIN is missing, do not code the field.

3.11.8.2.4  (01-01-2013)
Payee Address

  1. Street Address:

    1. If both a street address and a Post Office Box appear, circle the street address.

    2. If an apartment number is present or if other location designations (e.g., building, room, N.W., etc.) are present but not in address area, arrow to address area.

    3. If the street address is not present on the document, edit the single character "Z" as the street address.

  2. If address is Army Post Office (APO), Diplomatic Post Office (DPO) and Fleet Post Office (FPO), arrow APO, FPO or DPO and the literal "AA" , "AE" , or "AP" to the beginning of the City, State, ZIP Code line in the city field.

  3. If the city is not present (for other than APO, DPO, FPO), enter "ZZZ" as the city.

  4. If state is missing but can be determined from city or ZIP Code, edit state abbreviation to City, State, ZIP Code Line. State is not present when using APO, DPO, and FPO addresses.

  5. If a ZIP Code is present, a state must be edited, except for APO, DPO, and FPO addresses. If State is missing and cannot be determined from the city or ZIP Code, edit city only.

  6. If a ZIP Code is present and:

    1. It is less than 5 numbers, enter the ZIP Code for the state as shown in Exhibit 3.11.8-5 or Exhibit 3.11.8-6.

    2. It is six, seven, eight, or more than nine numbers, circle the extraneous numbers (e.g., ZIP Code is 0012321, circle the two preceding zero's).

  7. If the exact ZIP Code for a state is not known, or you notice an invalid ZIP Code, use the ZIP Code for the state (or "AA" , "AE" , or "AP" ) as shown in Exhibit 3.11.8-4.

  8. If the ZIP Code is missing and the state is present, edit the 5 digit ZIP Code for the state shown in Exhibit 3.11.8-4.

  9. Special Edit of Foreign Payee Addresses:

    1. Code the street address (if present) for entry in the Name Line 2 field.

    2. A maximum of 40 characters are allowed for the remainder of the total address (foreign city or province; postal code; and foreign country). The postal code is separated from the foreign city by a space. Edit the foreign country in the City field. Use abbreviations to limit this entry to 15 positions.

    3. Code a dollar sign "$" in the first position of the state-field to identify the address as foreign.

3.11.8.2.5  (01-01-2013)
Payment Amount Fields

  1. Make a cursory review to ensure that the amount field boxes (lines) are numbered consistently with the official IRS Information Returns issued. Ensure that the money amounts of each box (line) can be clearly understood (i.e., whether it is dollars and cents, or whole dollars if the decimal is missing or misplaced). All payment amount fields are transcribed as dollars only.

    1. If the preprinted amount box (line) numbers are inconsistent, edit the amount box (line) numbers to make them consistent. If unable to do so, return the entire submission to Receipt and Control, IRP Sort Unit.

    2. If the Payer re-titles payment amount fields or otherwise indicates that the type of return or payment amounts are not the same as on the pre-printed return, use taxpayer intent as a basis for re-titling the return and re-numbering payment amount fields on the return.

      Example:

      Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, with payments identified as other than what would normally be reported on a MISC return (e.g., Dividends, Wages, etc.), BUT NOT A RE-TITLED RETURN, should now be changed to the correct return.

    3. If the Payer has crossed out the pre-printed type of return and entered another type of return, edit the payment amount fields to be consistent with the Payer's correction (i.e., circle out the pre-printed payment amount field number and enter the number from the official form which identifies that type of income).

      Example:

      The Payer sends in a Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, crosses out "MISC" and enters "DIV" , places an amount in Box 1 and identifies it as dividends; edit the return in the following manner: underline Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions, circle out the "1" , if present, and enter a "1a" above it.

    4. If the Payer enters more than one amount in a box, circle the amounts and place the total of the amounts above the circled out amounts. If a gross amount and net amount are both present, cross out the net amount.

  2. Payment amount fields to be transcribed must be consistent with the official returns listed in instructions for each type of return below.

  3. Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, contains two amount fields.

    1. Money Amount from Box 4, "Amount of Federal Tax Withheld" , and must be equal to or greater than zero.

    2. Money Amount from Box 5, "Total amount reported with this Form 1096" , and must be equal to or greater than zero.

  4. Form 1099-B, Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, (Box 2, Box 9, Box 10, Box 11 and Box 12 only) and Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, Box 3, Box 7 and Box 10) may contain negative money amounts.

    1. Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions, only — if Box 9, Non-cash, contains negative and positive amounts and the net total of the amounts is positive, edit the net total amount as the Box 9 amount. If the net total is negative, edit it to be zero.

    2. For all other form types if a positive and negative amount appear in one box, use the positive amount.

    3. For all other form types if a negative amount appears in any box, edit it to zero.

3.11.8.2.6  (01-01-2013)

  1. If a field on any form requires a positive money amount only, and it appears to have a negative money amount entered, circle the amount.

3.11.8.4.1  (01-01-2013)
Editing Prior Year Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns

  1. All prior year Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, are processed through ISRP. These forms are coded as current year Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. In addition, code the two numeric digits in the bottom right hand corner of the Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, to indicate which tax year has been filed.

  2. Only one type of return should have been transmitted on the Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. If more than one type of return was transmitted by the Payer, create an additional Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, so that one Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, exists for each type of return transmitted.

3.11.8.4.2  (01-01-2013)

  1. If the Payer Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is not in the proper box, draw an arrow from the TIN to the proper box provided for the Payer identification number.

  2. Edit "9-" when a TIN cannot be found. Since Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, uses the Payer name and TIN assigned to the supporting documents being transmitted by the Payer. If a Payer TIN has been edited by Receipt and Control, it should be used.

  3. For Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, in addition to editing the Payer TIN, edit a numeric "1" (when Payer TIN is an EIN) or "2" (when Payer TIN is an SSN) to identify the type of entity of the Payer. Edit this numeric in front of the numeric Return Code in the box that identifies the type of returns are being transmitted. See IRM 3.11.8.4.4.

  4. This editing is used for posting to the Payer Master File. Edit according to how the overall Payer entity appears.

    Note:

    It may be helpful to remember that most large volume Payers are truly BMF entities; small volume Payers can be either BMF or IMF depending on the type of Payer.

  5. If a Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, contains both an EIN and a SSN choose the EIN, unless Receipt and Control has indicated the SSN number should be used.

3.11.8.4.3  (01-01-2013)
Editing Payer Addresses

  1. Edit the Payer's address according to the normal Payee address editing rules. See IRM 3.11.8.2.4.

  2. The requirement for mailable addresses for No TIN record does not apply. See IRM 3.11.8.2.2 (2).

3.11.8.4.4  (01-01-2013)

    1. Only one type of return should have been transmitted; if more than one type of return was checked by the Payer, create an additional Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, so that one Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, exists for each type of supporting return being transmitted.

    2. Make sure that the type of return transmitted can be clearly identified by ISRP.

    3. The type of entity (or TIN type) from IRM 3.11.8.4.2 must appear immediately before the numeric return code.

3.11.8.4.5  (01-01-2013)

3.11.8.4.6  (01-01-2013)

    Note:

    Penalty Unit submitted returns will have a "P" in the first box under "For Official Use Only" located in the upper right hand corner of Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns.

Editing Other Items

  1. In addition to the items edited above, each Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, must be reviewed to make sure the number of returns transmitted is present in Box 3.
