When Taxable Income is adjusted because of this Error Code, check to see whether the adjustment will change a Net Operating Loss Carryover. If Taxable Income is increased, check for taxpayer worksheet for excess NOLD. If the loss carryover will be changed by at least a ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ to the taxpayer, prepare Letter 3833C. Explain the adjustment and specify the corrected loss carryover amount.

Total Income— Check all displayed fields against the return for transcription errors or misplaced entries and make sure all line items were transcribed correctly. When there are no transcription errors, check the attachments to make sure all line items were transcribed correctly, and make necessary changes. The computer uses the following formula to compute Total Income: Field 0501A − 0501B − 0502 + 0504 + 0505 + 0506 + 0507 + 0508 + 0509 + 0510.

Total Deductions-Check all displayed fields against the return for transcription errors or misplaced entries, and make necessary corrections. If there are no transcription errors, check the attachments to make sure all line items were transferred correctly. The computer uses the following fields to determine Total Deductions: 06COF + 06SAW + 06REP + 06BD + 06REN + 06TAX + 06INT + 06CHR + 06DPR + 06DPL + 06ADV + 06PEN + 06CON + 06OTH = 06TOT

Field 06COF—is transcribed from line 12. On Form 1120 this amount is transferred from line 4, Schedule E, page 2.

Fields 06SAW—is transcribed from line 13 on Forms 1120. It is the total salaries and wages paid or incurred for the year less the employment credits.

Field 06NI>—is Net income before NOLD. This field is computer generated and is not correctable. It is used to compare the taxpayer's and computer's figures for net income.

Field 06NOL—represents the taxpayer's net operating loss deduction. If NOL is adjusted by $500.00 or more because of a change in the taxable income, no math error notice will be sent, prepare letter 3833C. Explain the adjustment and specify corrected loss carryover amount.

Field 06SPD—represents the taxpayer's special deduction. See Error Code 170 for further instructions.

Field 06TI—is the Taxable Income-Computer. This field is computer generated and is not correctable. It is used to compare the taxpayer's and computer's figures for taxable income.

Reserve Code is other than blank, "1" or "4" .

Transcription for Field 03RVC is from line 22 of the Edit Sheet. Valid codes are "1, 4, and blank" . Reserve Code "3" is computer generated.

Verify that Orphan Drug Credit is present and in Field 08ODC (199511 and prior). If it is in the correct field, delete Reserve Code "3" . If present, but in the wrong field, move to Field 08ODC and delete Reserve Code "3" . ( Valid for tax periods 198301 thru 199511 and 199607 and subsequent)

Charitable Contributions are ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Total Income and Total Deductions are correct, and Special Deduction Code "2" or "3" is not present.

Transcription for Field 06CHR is from line 19, page 1. Charitable Contributions will underprint when the maximum allowable amount exceeds ten percent of Taxable Income Before NOLD less NOL carryover less capital loss carryovers plus Contributions. The computer uses the following formula to calculate the total allowable Charitable Contributions deduction but allows a ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ (0511– 06TOT — 06NOL + 06CHR x 10% = MAXIMUM ALLOWANCE CONTRIBUTIONS).

Special Deductions are out of tolerance, Gross Tax is out of tolerance and Special Deductions Code "1" or "3" is not present.

Check all fields for any transcription errors or misplaced entries and correct as appropriate.

Transcription for Field 06SPD is from line 29b, Form 1120 and is the taxpayer's computation from page 2, Schedule C, line 20.

A different amount will underprint at this checkpoint only when Gross Income Tax is outside tolerance and the amount transcribed for Special Deductions (Field 06SPD) exceeds 80% of the computer's computation of Net Income Before NOLD. However, if a corporation meets certain conditions, the 80% limitation of Taxable Income does not apply.

The most common waiver condition is when a corporation sustains a Net Operating Loss for the taxable year. To determine whether a Net Operating Loss has occurred, compute Special Deductions as follows. Take the total on line 9, column C of Schedule C and subtract this amount from taxable income, line 28, page 1. If this results in a Net Operating Loss, enter a "1" in Field 03SDC.

Dividends received before January 1, 1987, are limited to a deduction of 85%; dividends received after December 31, 1986, are limited to 80%. The taxpayer will compute the applicable percentage prior to entering the dividends on Schedule C, column c.

If the corporation has an entry on line 8, 10, 11, 12, or 18, Schedule C, the amount is not subject to the 80% limitation. Enter a "1" in Field 03SDC.

If the return is a Personal Holding Company (Field 03ABL is 001), no computation is necessary. Enter a "1" in Field 03SDC.

Accept any other waiver condition indicated by the taxpayer.

07 - Your special deductions were more than can be allowed.

40 - We have adjusted your tax because we did not receive a reply.

90 - Fill-in notice.

Computer Condition Code "Y" is present.

Check return for any transcription or coding errors and correct accordingly.

Generally, a CCC "Y" is present when the return must be manually computed. CCC "Y" will also change the FYM on the Master File. (See Error code 026 for additional information on short period returns).

If prepaid credits on lines 32(a) through 32(e) are claimed and the return is a short period return because it is a "Final" or has a "Change of Accounting Period," SSPND with Action Code "342" if Code-and-Edit has not already done so. Prepare Form 4227 with a notation, "Short Period with ES Credits."

Compute the tax per the individual manual computation requirement. See IRM 3.12.251.19, Manual Computation Section.

Under normal circumstances, the computer and the taxpayer agree on the computation of the tax. This satisfies the Rule of Two.

On the usual type of return with a TRUE MATH ERROR, the computer and the tax examiner will agree on the computation of the tax. This satisfies the Rule of Two.

On a manually computed return with a TRUE MATH ERROR, the Rule of Two is not satisfied until two tax examiners arrive at the same tax computation.

See IRM 3.12.251.19, Manual Computation, for instructions on manual computation of returns.

Correct any coding or transcription errors and misplaced entries.

Incomplete Lines - If the taxpayer has made entries on any lines between 1 through 30 but does not complete line 31 or below, research INOLES to determine if the return is a subsidiary. If INOLES shows a 1120-14 filing requirement, SSPND "640" . Otherwise, assign TPNC 05.

Mixed Component - A mixed component member is a consolidated return where the subsidiaries compute tax in different ways (i.e., Forms 1120-L and 1120-PC) are combined with a Form 1120. If a return is a mixed component, accept the taxpayer's entry for gross tax and enter the amount in Field 07GVT.

Prepaid Credits - If prepaid credits are claimed on a Form 1120 (lines 32(a) through 32(e) "short period" , "final" , or "change of accounting period" return, SSPND with Action Code " 342" , if Code & Edit has not already done so. Prepare Form 4227 with a notation, "Short Period with ES Credits"

Manual Computation - See IRM 3.12.251.19, Manual Computation, for specific instructions regarding returns where a manual tax computation may be required.

Annualized Computation- See IRM 3.12.251.20. for instructions. Taxpayers annualizing their tax due to a short period initial or final return is not permitted. Assess tax at the regular rate based on their taxable income.

See the EC 174 Correction Procedures below for additional instructions and applicable Taxpayer Notice Codes (TPNCs).

Qualified Personal Service Corporations (QPSCs) are taxed at a flat 35%.

Check Field 03CGC and correct the Controlled Group/Personal Service Code, if necessary.

Taxable Income Brackets (Fields 04TB5, 04TB6, and 04TB7 are transcribed from Page 3, Schedule J, lines 2a(1), 2a(2), and 2a(3), for periods prior to 2006. For tax periods 200612 and subsequent, Schedule O is used. Field 04TB5 is transcribed from Part II, column (c), Field 04TB6 from Part II, column (d) and Field 04TB7 from Part II column (e).

If these fields are blank (not zero) and Field 03CGC is "1" , search return for an apportionment plan or schedule. If none is found, correspond.

If the taxpayer does not reply to correspondence for the Income Bracket amounts, assign TPNC 05.

If the Controlled Group Code is "1" then the amount in this field is added to the computer's computation of gross tax to arrive at the computers amount for Gross Income Tax (07GIT).

For tax periods 199612 and subsequent:

If the maximum Additional Tax amount(s) are entered on line(s) 2b(1) and/or 2b(2), Schedule J (for tax years prior to 200612) or Schedule O Part III, columns (f) and (g) are in obvious error, delete the amounts only if not included on line 2, Schedule J.

Field 07GIT (Gross Income Tax) is transcribed from line 2 Page 3, Schedule J of Form 1120. The Gross Income Tax field can be used to locate the math error. If the TP did not complete Schedule J, and is not a personal service corporation or part of a control group, enter the amount reported on line 31 in Field 07GIT.

Also use Field 06NI> (Taxable Income Before NOLD - Computer Generated) and Field 06TI> (Taxable Income - Computer Generated) to determine the error.

In order to determine which type of tax the computer is using to arrive at the underprint for Gross Income Tax, compare the underprint to Field 07RN> (Regular Tax New Rate) which is the computers computation of Regular Income Tax and Field 07AD> (Alternative Tax Schedule D New Rate), which is the computer's computation of Alternative Tax.

If the computer is computing tax using the flat rate of 35% (or 34%), and the Controlled Group code is not "2" , verify taxpayer's tax against the tax tables. If the taxpayer has figured his tax correctly using the tax tables, then enter the taxpayer's amount for tax into Field 07GVT.

For Controlled Groups, the computer uses Fields 04TB5 through 04TB7 to compute the Gross Income Tax and then adds Fields 04AT1 and 04AT2 to arrive at Gross Income Tax Computer.

Field 07GVT will be used whenever the computer is unable to calculate the correct amount of Gross Tax.

Enter the correct amount of tax in Field 07GVT and change line 2, Schedule J, Form 1120, to the corrected amount. When the manually corrected tax is zero, enter $.01 (1 cent) in Field 07GVT.

For tax periods ending after May 22, 2008 and beginning before May 23, 2009, if a corporation has both net capital gain and qualified timber gain, then a maximum 15% capital gain tax rate may apply to the timber gain. If the TP is using Part IV, Schedule D, to figure tax, then follow instructions below:

See (14) below and assign an applicable TPNC. If no TPNC applies, use TPNC 90 to inform the taxpayer of the error.

If all of the above conditions have been checked and the Gross Income Tax amount still has an underprint, and the underprint is correct, assign the applicable TPNC(s).

If a taxpayer error causes an increase in tax, check to see if there is additional carryover credit available. If so, increase the credit to the amount of available credit or the amount of corrected tax, whichever is less. If the increase is for $10 or more, and a TPNC will not be sent, prepare a Letter 3833C to explain the adjustment and inform the taxpayer of the corrected carryover amount.

If the return requires manual computation, see See IRM 3.12.251.19., Manual Computation. If the taxpayer limited his GBC to the amount of gross tax and gross tax is being increased, increase the amount of the available GBC up to the new gross tax amount and notify the taxpayer via TPNC 90, if the taxpayer's GBC is sufficient to cover the new gross tax amount, notify the taxpayer of the change in credits used via Letter 3833C

If a Taxpayer Notice Code (TPNC) was previously assigned for a math error leading up to the Gross Taxable Income error, reassign the TPNC(s)

The valid TPNCs are those listed below and any previously assigned TPNC:

Alternative Minimum Tax differs from Alternative Minimum Tax-Computer Generated ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is an additional tax on Tax Preference items. This amount is from line 3, Schedule J, Form 1120 and is displayed in Field 08AMT. The source is Form 4626, line 14. Correspond if Form 4626 is missing.

Check all of the displayed fields for transcription and editing errors.

Fields 0901>, 0903, and 0904E can be positive or negative, all other fields in Section 09 must be positive.

AMT may be reduced by any amount of General Business Credit from Form 3800, or the taxpayer writes `Section 38(c)(2)' and an amount on the dotted portion of line 3, Schedule J of Form 1120 or line 2, (For 1999 line 9, Schedule J of Form 1120 )

This field is the computer's amount for line 5, Form 4626. It is computed by adding Field 0904E to the sum of Fields 0901 and 0903.

This field cannot be corrected. It is used to help identify where a taxpayer error is located.

This field is transcribed from line 6, Form 4626.

This field will be limited to 90% of line 5. If this field exceeds the limitation, it will underprint with an amount different from the Taxpayer's amount. The computer will use the underprint amount in its computation. When tax period 200101 through 200212 is stated, Field 0906 will not be limited and the taxpayer can use 100%. Accept the taxpayers entry for Alternative Minimum Tax and enter in Field 09VER.

If the corporation is a member of a controlled group (Field 03CGC is "1" ) then the computer's amount for this field will be wrong.

In this case, use the Taxpayer's amount from Schedule J, line 3, manually compute Alternative Minimum Tax, and enter that amount in Field 09VER.

This may affect the computation of GBC (Field 08GBC), especially when Section 38(c)(2) is used.

If Field 0912> does not match line 12, Form 4626, the taxpayer has made a math error, or the conditions in paragraph (15)a, (16) or (18) may exist.

If Field 0912> is the same as line 12, Form 4626, the taxpayer may have computed his Alternative Minimum Tax (Field 08AMT) incorrectly. The computer's formula for figuring the underprint of Field 08AMT is as follows: Field 08AMT equals Field 0912> less Field 07GIT underprint less Field 08FTC underprint.

Controlled Group returns (Field 03CGC is "1" ), and Form 4626 line 8a, is less than $150,000, or line 8c is less than $40,000.

Line 14 Form 4626, has an entry for "Additional regular investment credit allowed under Section 38(c)(3)" .

Alternative Minimum Tax (Field 08AMT) is present and Form 4626 is missing. Section 09 has no entries, and no reply to correspondence. Use Command Code GTSEC and enter Field 08AMT amount in Field 09VER and enter Audit Code "3" in Field 03ADC.

Error Code 178 often generates due to transcription and coding errors. GTSEC 08 to determine if all credits have been transcribed correctly. Check attachments for any credits that were not carried forward to the edit sheet and correct Screen 08 accordingly.

With EC 178, always verify the TP did not take more credit than allowed by law. Follow Form 3800 and any other additional credit reported on line 5c of Schedule J (returns prior to 200811) to figure the proper amount of credit. Once verified, enter the correct amount of credit in Field 08SCV. This should clear the error code.

If there is more than one of the above credits or a carry forward credit claimed, they must be summarized on Form 3800.

One reason for an underprint in GBC may be that the taxpayer falls under the provisions of Section 38(c)(2), which allows a larger deduction of investment Credit than normal GBC limitations.

If Form 3468, line 6; line 8, Form 3800; has a notation beside it referring to Section 38(c)(2) accept the transcribed amount for GBC by entering the correct amount of GBC in Field 08SCV.

The taxpayer cannot reduce Gross Tax Less Credits (line 7, Schedule J, Form 1120; line 3) to less than zero.

If the taxpayer has reduced Gross Tax Less Credits (08GT) to a negative, reduce GBC to an amount that will increase Gross Tax Less Credits to zero. Also use the remainder of the Section 38(c)(2) GBC to reduce the Alternative Minimum Tax.

If the return has a refund, do not send TPNC; instead, change the taxpayer's figures to agree with the underprint.

Homeowners Associations may file on Form 1120. When they do so, they are to be taxed at the normal corporate rate. If the taxpayer indicates "Sec. 277" , or "minimum tax" when no taxable income is present, accept the taxpayers figures by entering the taxpayers amount in 07MCT.

After an amount has been entered in Field 07MCT, the computer will not be able to correctly calculate Statutory Credits or Alternative Minimum Tax. Ignore any erroneous underprints after Field 07MCT has been entered. Check all fields for editing and/or transcription errors and correct any found. Also, check all attachments to ensure that all entries are correct and were brought forward correctly.

Follow the procedures below when Field 07TTX is underprinting:

Form 8621, Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund. The taxpayer writes in "SEC 1294" and the amount to be added to or subtracted from the total on line 9, Schedule J. (For 1999 – line 12, Schedule J). The taxpayer will bracket the amount if it is subtracted from line 10.

Installment payment of tax attributable to LIFO recapture by corporations making a S corporation election, 1987 Act Section 10227(a). The taxpayer writes in "SEC 1363(d) deferral" and the amount on line 9, Schedule J. (For 1999 – line 12, Schedule J). The 1120 corporation pays one-fourth. The 1120S corporation pays the other three-fourths over first three years as an S corporation.

Mutual savings bank conducting life insurance business, Section 594. The taxpayer computes a partial tax on Form 1120, and a partial tax on Form 1120L. The combined tax is entered on line 3, Schedule J. Form 1120L is attached as a schedule and identified as such by the taxpayer.

Interest on a tax attributable to payment received on installments sales of certain timeshare and residential lots, Section 453(1)(3). The taxpayer writes in "SEC 453A(c) interest" and the amount on line 3, Schedule J.

Interest on tax deferred under the installment method for certain non-dealer real property installment obligations, Section 453A. The taxpayer writes in "SEC 453A(c) interest" and the amount on line 3, Schedule J.

Deferred tax amount under Section 1291, (PFIC). The taxpayer writes in "SEC 1291 tax" and the amount on line 3, Schedule J.

Form 8697, Interest Computation Under the Look-Back Method for Completed Long-Term Contracts. The taxpayer should write "From Form 8697" on the dotted portion of line 9, Schedule J. (For 1999 – on the dotted portion of line 12, Schedule J). If the taxpayer has added the amount from line 11, of Form 8697 to line 9, Schedule J, enter the taxpayer's Total Tax in Field 07MCT. If the taxpayer has subtracted the amount of line 9, Form 8697 from line 10, Schedule J, enter the underprinted amount in Field 07TTX in Field 07MCT.

Alternative Minimum Tax may be reduced by any amount of General Business Credit from Form 3800, Sch. A, line 34. The taxpayer writes in "Section 38(c)(2)" and the amount on the dotted portion of line 3, Sch. J, page 3 F1120 . (For 1999 – line 9, Sch. J, page 3 F1120

If the difference between the underprint and the transcribed figure is the write-in amount, enter the taxpayer figures for Total Tax in Field 07MCT.

Field 07MCT is to be used when a manual computation return has a math error. This indicates that neither the transcribed amount nor the underprinted (generated) amount is correct; or in the case of Computer Condition Code "Y" and the transcribed amount is incorrect.

Enter the correct amount of total tax in Field 07MCT and change line 31, page 1, Form 1120 to the corrected amount. When the manually corrected total tax is zero, enter .01 (1 cent) in Field 07MCT.

The applicable TPNC should be sent. If no TPNC applies, use TPNC 90 to inform the taxpayer of the error. Attach a 3 × 5 card with the exact statement to be printed on the notice.

See IRM 3.12.251.19 for returns requiring manual computation.

Check attachments for a schedule of the taxpayer's Prior Year Investment Credit and Recaptured Tax. If not found, do not delete Field 08TRI. Send TPNC 05.

If the taxpayer is trying to offset the recaptured tax with CARRYOVER investment credit, delete Field 08TRI and reduce Field 08GBC (for tax periods 198412 and subsequent), by the amount used on Form 4255.

Field 08RLI transcription is from the right margin of line 9, Schedule J, Form 1120 and is edited from Form 8611, line 12. If multiple Forms 8611 are attached, the total of line 12, Form 8611 should be the edited amount. (For 1999 – line 8, Schedule J, Form 1120).

Any corrections to this field must be made in dollars and cents.

If a taxpayer error is creating a math error, send TPNC 33.

If the taxpayer checked the Form 8611 box on line 9, Schedule J, Form 1120, or Form 8611 is attached, enter Computer Condition code "9" in Field 01CCC. (For 1999 – line 8, Schedule J, Form 1120 ).
