3.12.32  General Unpostables

All Official Use Only content has been replaced with ≡.

3.12.32.1  (01-01-2010)
Purpose and Scope General

  1. This IRM Section provides the information, guidelines, and procedures concerning the Generalized Unpostable Framework (GUF) for processing unpostable cases.

  2. This information applies to all GUF processing for the following programs:

    1. Individual Master File (IMF),

    2. Business Master File (BMF),

    3. Employee Plan Master File (EPMF),

    4. Combined Annual Wage Reporting (CAWR),

    5. Payer Master File (PMF).

  3. Responsibility and Authority—This section applies to all managers and individuals using the GUF to manage, reassign, research, suspense, close, and/or review IMF , BMF, EPMF , PMF or CAWR unpostable cases.

    Note:

    Employees engaged in the unauthorized access or inspection of tax records are subject to disciplinary actions. Employees are allowed access to taxpayer records only when the information is needed to carry out their tax–related duties and their involvement in the tax matter does not create a possible conflict of interest.

  4. IDRS Decision Assisting Program (IDAP) -

    1. The IDRS Decision Assisting Program (IDAP) provides tools to IRS employees that simplify research, reduce keystrokes and increase the accuracy of regular work processes.

    2. When IDAP is used with IRS systems it eliminates repetitive typing making precise decisions.

    3. The use of IDAP is mandatory. See the IDAP web site at http://idap.web.irs.gov/default.asp for a list of available tools and User Guides.

    4. Managers will ensure that all employees receive training on the use and application of IDAP.

    5. Appropriate research should be completed Using Command Codes NAMEE, NAMEB, NAMES AND NAMEI.

3.12.32.1.1  (01-01-2010)
Unpostable Guidelines

  1. General Procedures for Unpostables are as follows:

    1. Unpostables will be loaded by the Operations Branch and taken into the Unpostable, Criminal Investigation, Exam, Statute and Entity inventories within 3 days after Campus receipt from Martinsburg Computing Center (MCC).

    2. The Support Branch will transmit the closed Unpostables to MCC by each Thursday or they will miss the MCC Weekly Update. Missing this update will cause adverse effects (i.e., incorrect cycling).

  2. Inventories should be kept to a manageable level. The Headquarters and Campus measuring device will be the weekly Submission Processing Miscellaneous Inventory Report. (Unpostable Inventories, Unpostable Receipts, etc.).

    1. Total aged Unpostable cases will be worked as quickly as possible and must not exceed 10 PERCENT (Per Master File) of the ending inventory.

    2. Unworkable and workable inventory levels (excluding Bankruptcies) and cycle closures should not exceed a 21 calendar day processing cycle. During conditions of backlogs, high priority must be given to processing Unpostables related to refunds and payments on accounts where returns have previously posted and therefore are probably in a balance due condition.

    3. Repeat Unpostables will not exceed 10% of the current weeks receipts per master file (i.e., BMF, IMF, EPMF, etc.).

    4. Correspondence for Unpostable cases must be issued within 10 days of determining contact is needed.

    5. Campuses will be contacted when the unacceptable age criteria for each category meets 15 cycles.

  3. If Campus ending inventory exceeds their receipts by 15 percent for three consecutive weeks, or their aged inventory exceeds 10 percent per week per master file the inventory will be considered unmanageable. Stringent management measures must be taken to bring percentages back to manageable levels. The following are for all functions working Unpostables to help in maintaining these levels:

    1. Nullified Unpostables that are to be re-input will receive expedite processing. Re-input returns should not be shelved.

    2. Completely review and resolve all Unpostable conditions that can result in a repeat Unpostable.

    3. Review the aged inventory to ensure high dollar amounts ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ and very old cases are kept to a minimum.

    4. Refund and payment processing, including Federal Tax Deposits (FTD), must be given a higher priority than other Unpostables. After the return due date, refund returns will receive the highest priority to meet the 45 day interest free period.

      Note:

      Ensure Manual Refunds are issued on all applicable refunds (i.e., refunds of 1 million dollars or more). Refer to IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds, for Refund Transactions.

    5. There must be a 100% review on all repeat Unpostables for each master file.

    6. Each Campus will maintain adequate staffing and terminals.

Unpostable Resolution Codes

  1. The valid Unpostable Resolution Codes and an explanation for each are listed in the chart below:

    Unpostable Resolution Code Explanation
    URC "A" updates the unpostable name control to the Master File name control.
    URC "B" is used only for IMF and BMF. This code is used only as a special closure of open cases.
    URC "D" deletes (voids) transactions that do not need follow-up actions and is valid for all master files.

    A URC "D" removes the record from the SCUPMF . URC"D" does not open an Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) control base.
    URC "0" allows the unpostable record to attempt to re-post with no change at Master File.

    URC"0" is valid for all Master Files.
    URC "1" . allows transactions to be re-input.

    It is valid for all Master Files except CAWR and PMF .

    A URC"1" removes the record from the Service Center Unpostable Master File (SCUPMF). These records are not corrected (at this time) for an attempted re-posting at Master File as would URC"0" , "5" and " 6"
    URC "2" deletes (voids) transactions and is VALID for all Master Files.

    A URC"2" removes the record from the SCUPMF and opens an IDRS control base for most cases.
    URC"3" is used for Auto-Closures of With—Remittance (ISRP/RPS) documents due to a tax period change.
    URC "5" is used only for IMF when changing an error delay code and/or name control or name line at Master File and Trans Code is 140, 430, or 150.
    URC "6" is used when changing any combination of name control, name line, adding or deleting a spouse and/or spouse's Social Security Number (SSN), Taxpayer Information Number (TIN), TIN type, transaction codes, transaction date, plan number, error delay code, computer condition code, tax period ending for IMF, and the following nontaxable BMF and EPMF returns.

    URC 6 is valid for all Master Files.
    Note: PMF will only accept TIN, TIN TYPE, and name control changes.
    URC "8" (reject) nullifies (removes) the record from the SCUPMF.

    Valid for all master files except CAWR and PMF.
  2. The resolution codes described above are used when utilizing Command Code (CC) UPRES to resolve cases assigned to the following areas:

    1. Unpostable function,

    2. Entity Control function,

    3. Examination function,

    4. Statute function,

    5. Criminal Investigation function.

    Exception:

    Unpostable Resolution Code 3 is used during GUF 13 processing.

  3. The following non taxable BMF and EPMF returns can be resolved using URC 6.

    Master File MFT Code Doc Code Form
    BMF 02 16 1120S
    06 65 1065
    15 23 8752
    36 81 1041A
    37 83 5227
    44 91 990PF
    50 71 4720
    67 90 990
    67 09 990EZ
    76 35 5330
    77 29 706GST
    78 59 706GSD

  4. In addition to individual closures using CC–UPRES , CC–UPBAT, is used for multiple cases using the same Resolution Code.

    Note:

    Command Code UPBAT unpostable resolution code actions are not directly updated. They are generated into each resolved record during end of day (EOD) processing and if the case does not meet the reject criteria, then the case is placed into closed status.


  5. The GUF system will not accept previously input remarks on URC D, 1, 2, or 8 closures. Enter a / (slash) at the end of the remarks field if previous remarks are still valid with unpostable closing.

  6. The IDRS employee number is not needed in the remarks section. The employee number will automatically print on the Nullified Listing from the URC "D" or "2" closure.

    Note:

    The employee number displayed will be either the originator of the transaction, or the IDRS control number GUF has assigned to the record using the Nullified Area Code table.

    This number will also be used to open a control base on IDRS.

3.12.32.7  (01-01-2010)
Category Code Identification and Criteria

  1. General Category Information—

    1. A "Category Code" is assigned to every unpostable record for "IMF " , "BMF" , "EPMF" , " PMF" and "CAWR" .

    2. These unique two digit alpha-numeric codes identify the area that will work the unpostable case.

    3. These codes will also determine when a Form 4251 will be automatically generated.

    4. The case is automatically sorted for an AUTO, MASS, or INDIVIDUAL type closure if the case requires routing of unpostable document to the preparer, or another function.

    5. When the case is an expedite and/or requires special handling, the sequence in which the cases are sorted are in order according to the recipient.

    6. The unpostable category codes, category names, and applicable category Master File(s) are as follows:

  2. Categories cannot be changed— The category cannot be changed once it has been established per the priority sequence stated above, even if the unpostable case is reassigned to another area.

3.12.32.7.1  (01-01-2010)
Policy For Establishing a Category Code

  1. Each transaction is assigned the category code of the first category it satisfies.

  2. Subsequent category checks will not be made.

  3. Generally the category criteria is determined by transaction code, DLN, document code, and/or unpostable code priority. This sequence, which is different than the alpha-numeric list above, is used to determine which records are placed in each category.

  4. The category sort sequence (priority) and related category codes are as follows:

    UNPOSTABLE CATEGORY SORT SEQUENCE "PRIORITY"
    "A1" —Criminal Investigation
    "A2" —Criminal Investigation FTD Transaction

Fraud Detection Criteria

  1. QRDT (Questionable Refund Detection Team) requests an unpostable IMF refund return ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ be set aside to be reviewed for fraud. QRDT personnel will review the cases in the Unpostable unit. Generally, the "Trans Code 150" will be an unpostable code (UPC) "151" or "176" .

  2. If there are indications that QRDT has previously reviewed the return (a Fraud Detection or QRDT stamp is on the return or on an attached Form indicating they have seen the return), do not set aside for QRDT review.

  3. Cases being worked with the document (including "UPC 151" ) meeting the following QRDT criteria will be set aside to be reviewed by Fraud Detection.

    1. The same mailing address is used on multiple returns. This may indicate that returns have been prepared by persons discounting tax returns (Refund Mill). Refund Mill returns are often filed in groups.

    2. Similarities between Forms W-2's, e.g., typing, printing, wage amounts, withholding amounts, employer.

    3. "Preparer's address" and "taxpayer's address" are the same, but "preparer's last name" and "taxpayer's last name" are different; and a refund ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ is claimed.

    4. If any of these conditions are present, discontinue unpostable processing. Set aside for CI-QRDT review.

  4. If QRDT selects the return,

    1. Unpostables will reassign the case to Criminal Investigation (CI).

    2. CI will resolve the unpostable when they have completed their review.

  5. If the UPC is "176" , the case is being directed to the invalid segment, refer to IRM 3.12.179, Unpostable Resolution, for UPC 176.

    1. Resolve the unpostable using URC "0" or "6" .

    2. On the Form 4251 annotate "Closed Case, Route to CI" .

    3. Then route to the Files function to pull the document for CI. The return will be delivered directly to CI.

  6. Unpostable cases assigned to Entity Control, Examination, or the Statute function meeting the criteria in (3) above should also be referred to CI for review. If CI requests the cases to be reassigned to them, CI will resolve the unpostables.

  7. Refer cases to CI if one of the following transaction codes are present on a tax module or entity module where the unpostable Resolution is directing the case:

    1. Transaction Code 914 (IMF/BMF tax module).

    2. Transaction Code 916 (IMF tax module).

    3. Transaction Code 918 (IMF/BMF entity module).

  8. Unpostable cases assigned to Entity Control, Examination, or Statutes meeting the above criteria should also be referred to CI for review. If CI requests the unpostable be reassigned to them, they will be responsible for resolving the condition.

  9. If the Unpostable Resolution is directing the case, to a tax module (tax period) established by a Trans Code "914" (IMF or BMF) or Trans Code "916" (IMF only); or Trans Code "914" or "916" is already posted in the correct account/module, reassign case to CI.

3.12.32.9  (01-01-2010)
Examination Criteria

  1. Any return or document on which the taxpayer protests the filing of a tax return, or the paying of tax, or scratches out, or alters the JURAT (penalty of perjury statement);

    1. Route to Examination and suspend the cases using CC UPCAS with definer "S" and definer modifier "A" .

    2. If it appears that the document has already been forwarded to Examination, do NOT forward to Exam again. Continue with regular unpostable resolution procedures.

    3. Notate on routing slip "Frivolous Criteria" . Do not alter the return prior to routing to Examination.

    4. If the return or document is returned by the Examination Branch process as indicated on the return routing slip.

    5. If there are no processing instructions indicated process using regular unpostable procedures.

    6. If Examination indicates they will not be returning the casereassign it to them for resolution. .

  2. The following are examples of schemes that must be referred directly to the Examination Frivolous Team.

    1. Fair Market Value—The taxpayer reduces gross income due to the value of the dollar (e.g., one dollar is worth 90 cents, therefore, each dollar reported is reduced by 10 cents).

    2. Gold Silver Standard—The taxpayer takes a deduction from income and states that only gold or silver can be taxed, paper money is not legal tender.

    3. War Protest—The taxpayer adjusts income or tax by a given percentage because that same percent is used for defense purposes.

    4. Vow of Poverty—The taxpayer takes all or substantially all of gross income as a contribution deduction because of a vow of poverty. The source of income shown on Form W–2 is not affiliated with a religious order. Sometimes the taxpayer will not reflect any income, claiming the vow of poverty as a reason.

    5. Large Contribution Deduction—The taxpayer takes a large contribution deduction (generally 20%–50% of adjusted gross income). An entry appears on line 15b of Schedule A and a non-traditional-type church is listed. Examples of non-traditional-type churches are Freedom Church of Revelation, Liberty Ministries International, Universal Life Church, Basic Bible Church, and Life Science Church. If there is any question as to whether the church is non-traditional, and the return meets the other criteria, refer the return to the Examination Frivolous Team.

    6. Altered Return—The taxpayer files a pre-printed facsimile of a Form 1040, or a real Form 1040, where changes are made to certain wording on the line items and elsewhere. The taxpayer takes a deduction for all, or substantially all, of gross income on one of the altered lines. Examples: The word "income " is changed to "receipts" or "gain " . "Adjustments to Income" lines is changed to "Eisner v. Macomber" or to names of other court cases. "Other Income" line or "Adjustments to Income" lines may be changed to read "Non-Taxable Receipts" or "Factor Discount Expense" . At the bottom of page one, the words "Copyright 1980, Eugene J. May" may appear. The year of the return may be handwritten on a facsimile return. The jurat is scratched out or changed to read "Signed involuntarily under the threat of statutory punishment" .

    7. Constitutional Rights—The taxpayer protests paying or filing a tax return because of a mis-perceived violation of constitutional rights. Generally, the taxpayer cites the 4th, 5th, 13th or 16th Amendments or advocates Porth/Daly. The taxpayer may file a blank Return with protest reasons indicated. Instead of required information, the taxpayer may show "–0– " , "none" , "object" or a Fifth Amendment annotation in some or all of the blanks. The taxpayer may include a broad general statement regarding constitutional rights, citing a number of amendments.

    8. Non-Payment—The taxpayer does not adjust the return in any way, but refuses to pay all or part of the tax, due to a specified cause.

3.12.32.10  (01-01-2010)
Fraud Detection, Statute, and Bankruptcy Issues
