If Field 01NC and the name on the return or attachments are the same but differ from the underprint in Field 01NC, research INOLES to determine the correct name control.
If ... Then ... The name on the return or attachments matches the name control on INOLES, Bring up underprint. The name control on INOLES is different from the name on the return or attachments, Research NAMEB/NAMEE for a new EIN. -
If a new EIN is located, verify the name control using CC INOLES.
If ... Then ... The name control on INOLES matches the name on the return or attachments, 1. Ensure that the entity information matches the return.
2. Overlay Field 01EIN with the new EIN from NAMEB/NAMEE. When the EIN is changed from the one the taxpayer used, issue Letter 3875C as a non-suspense letter to the address on the return.Note:
Do not send Letter 3875C when:
-
Three or less digits of the EIN are transposed, different, or missing, or
-
INOLES indicates the account has been "merged to" or "merged from" , or
-
The EIN on the return is the taxpayer's SSN and research shows there is no valid entity on Master File for that EIN
Multiple EINs are located, 1. SSPND 320 to Entity Control.
2. Prepare Form 4227 with the notation "MULTIPLE EINs" .INOLES indicates a "Merge To" (MT) EIN, Research the "MT" EIN on INOLES. The "MT" EIN matches the entity on the return or attachments, Enter the "MT" EIN in Field 01EIN. The "MT" EIN does not match the entity on the return or attachments, SSPND 320 to Entity Control. -
-
If the name on the return or attachments does not agree with the name control on INOLES or there is an indication of a name change on Form 1066 (Line D, Box 2), research ENMOD for a new name.
If ... Then ... The name control on ENMOD matches the name on the return or attachments, Enter "C" in the Clear Code field. The name control on ENMOD or INOLES does not match the name on the return or attachments, 1. SSPND 320 to route the return to Entity Control.
2. Attach Form 4227 with the notation, "NO RECORD" . -
If the name change has not been made, research ENMOD for a pending TC 013.
If ... Then ... A pending TC 013 is present, Enter "C" in the Clear Code field. A pending TC 013 is not present, 1. SSPND 320 to route to Entity Control.
2. Attach Form 4227 with the notation, "REQUEST NAME CHANGE" .

| Potential Frivolous Arguments for Examination Review | |
|---|---|
| Alleged Churches/First Amendment | Income from non-religious sources and may claim a vow of poverty. |
| Altered Form | Altering any or all line items with the intent of facilitating non-compliance with the tax laws. |
| Altered Jurat/UCC 1-207 | Return contains income and deductions but the jurat has been altered or stricken. May include reference to UCC 1-207 or a statement that the return was not signed under penalties of perjury. |
| Amended Returns/Form 843 Claim | Amended return or a Form 843 filed to obtain a total refund of all taxes paid in prior years, based on a tax avoidance argument. |
| C-Filings | This frivolous position includes the following four categories: a) Files a return claiming various types of deductions, credits or overpayments/refunds that have no relation to reality and because of their outrageous character, qualify as frivolous returns. b) Files a return containing the filers identifying information but does not request a refund, often lacking sufficient information to determine a tax liability. c) Files a return with various types of rambling dialogue and/or crazy arguments that no one could reasonably view as a good faith attempt to comply with the law. d) Files a return that attempts to send some type of message or protest to the IRS, but fails to include sufficient identifying information for the Service to either determine the identity of the taxpayer or correspondent or return address. |
| Challenges to Authority/Due Process | Questions various administrative authorities such as delegation orders, summons authority, privacy act, etc. Argues that they must be afforded a hearing or a trial before taxes can be assessed or before property can be seized. |
| Challenges to Authority/Title 26 or "law" in Other Documents | Argues that Title 26 of the United States Code is not law because it was never enacted as named |
| Collections Issues | Files frivolous documents contending that various collections issues are invalid (e.g., Offers in Compromise, Collection Due Process Requests, Installment Agreements, Appeals Requests, etc.) because they are not filed and/or signed by someone with delegated authority. They may have no certificate of assessment attached, do not comply in form or content with a State or Local law, are not in a certain format or lack a valid OMB (Office of Management and Budget) number or other frivolous positions. |
| Disclaimer | Submits a disclaimer stating, "disclaims the liability for the tax due" , making the liability on the return zero. |
| Fifth Amendment | Assertion of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination as a basis for not providing any financial information. |
| Foreign Income | Argues that United States citizens and residents are not subject to tax on their wages or other income derived from sources within the United States, as only foreign-based income or income received by nonresident aliens and foreign corporations from sources within the United States is taxable. |
| Form 1099-OID (Original Issue Discount) |
An individual files a return reporting false amounts of income (generally "Other" or "Miscellaneous" income) and all of them claim a false amount of income tax withholding approximately equal to the amount of falsely reported income. Although the returns report income, they do not calculate any tax due. Some of the returns have Form 1099-OID (Original Issue Discount) attached and some have Forms 1096. Other false financial instruments may be filed in the place of or in addition to the Forms 1099-OID such as Form 2439, promissory notes, bonds, sight drafts, etc. |
| IRC 861 Business Employment Tax (BMF 861) |
Argument targets employers and advises them that wages are exempt from withholding. Based on 26 CFR Section 1.861, promoters of this scheme advise employers to stop withholding and paying payroll taxes on their employee's wages. In addition, some employers file amended payroll tax returns and request refunds of previously paid payroll taxes. |
| IRS is a Private Organization/Collects Tribute, Not Taxes | Argues that the IRS is an entity named the Internal Revenue and Tax Service, Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 1933, it is a collection agency for the Federal Reserve Bank, or is part of the United Nations and is clandestinely leading the tax-paying public into a "new world order" . |
| Not a Person | Argues that a taxpayer is not a "person" within the meaning of IRC Section 7701(a)(14). |
| Obscene, Vulgar, Harassing | Submits documents or other materials indicating that non-filing is due to dissatisfaction with tax policies or taxation in general. Often, this argument is expressed with obscene, vulgar, or crude language and characters in an extremely demeaning manner. |
| Protest Against Government Action/Inaction | Argues that refusal to file or pay is justified because they disagree with government policies or spending plans. |
| Sixteenth Amendment | Argues the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified and therefore the federal government does not have the legal authority to collect an income tax without apportionment. |
| Straw Men | Argues the government has created an entity separate and distinct from the taxpayer - a "straw man" and any tax obligations are exclusively those of the "straw man" . |
| Taxes are Voluntary/Law Does Not Require | Submits a return, amended return or correspondence that argues income taxes are voluntary. |
| U.S. v. Long | Submits a return with zero money amounts. To explain the zeros inserted on the form, the individual references "U.S. vs. Long" . |
| Unsigned Returns | The individual completes a return but fails to sign, a statement indicating disagreement with the tax system is attached or added to the return. |
| Valuation | Income is not taxable because of the declining fair market value of the dollar, because the dollar is not backed by gold/silver, because the value of services is offset by the value of the labor (barter income), etc. |
| Zero Returns | Submits a return with zero money amounts on all or most of the line items on the form (e.g., IRC §861, Forms 2439, OID and
other BMF filings that claim no income and request refunds). See Revenue Ruling 2004-34. A statement is attached claiming
there is no section of the Internal Revenue Code that established an income tax liability. The statement may also contain
arguments regarding the definition of income. There are several variations on this type of filing such as those bearing the
words "nunc pro tunc"
and "not liable"
.
