3.17.63.2.4.9  (07-27-2010)
Summary Record of Assessments & List of Unprocessed Assessment Certificates (RACS Report 006)

  1. This list identifies all unprocessed assessment certificates, and should be reviewed online daily to determine which assessment certificates must be processed.

  2. In order to ascertain the correctness of the data entered into RRACS, utilize this online information to balance the assessments to the source documents before the Summary Record of Assessment is generated.

  3. The assessment date and assessment type will be displayed for each current record that has not yet been generated. To review these assessments, select Assessment main menu, and then select the Review option.

  4. Review the information and take the necessary action to generate any summary records where the assessment date equals the current date.

  5. The summary record provides details of the assessment data by type of tax, and if the assessment was current or deficiency. Assessments are broken down into five types: Regular (R), Jeopardy (J), Quick (Q), Prompt (P), and CADE (C). Jeopardy assessments record the principal amounts against individual taxpayers. The following data can be reviewed online for each assessment type and assessment date:

    1. Tax class.

    2. Items related to the tax class.

    3. Tax amount.

    4. Penalty amount.

    5. Interest amount.

    6. Identification as current or deficiency.

  6. The total items, tax, penalty, and interest are summarized for total current assessments and total deficiency assessments.

  7. The current and deficiency item and amount fields related to each tax class are added together under tax class summary.

  8. If the assessment is a Jeopardy, the data related to the principal taxpayers and amounts are required. The number of principal taxpayers will be the sum of current and deficiency item counts.

  9. The audit trail is printed for each summary record. This includes the Doc-id, DLN, or F8166 recap number in the DLN column, and the account date.

    1. To generate the report, select Review from the Assessment main menu, then select the Assessment option, desired assessment type, and assessment date.

    2. The report must be signed by the Assessment Officer on the date the assessment is made, as outlined in IRM 3.17.63.20. The certification statement is included in the printed report. At least one person at each campus must be assigned the responsibility of reviewing all certificates for timely entry of the assessment officer's signature and date. The responsible employee will initial the certificate after validation. This practice should be accomplished daily in case statutes are involved.

  10. Monday is the regularly established assessment date for all MF assessments. The regular assessment date for CADE will be daily. In addition, a daily summary record for manual assessments may be prepared. Summary Records of Assessments for Monday consist of the following certificates:

    1. Regular Assessments: SC Recaps IMF , BMF, and NMF regular weekly assessments and CADE daily.

    2. Daily Assessments: Prompt, Quick, Jeopardy.

  11. When RRACS is unavailable, all campuses must use the F23C, Manual Summary Record of Assessment, under Forms and Publications on the IRWEB. No other version should be used.

    1. Enter the detail data by type, tax class, the total amounts of current assessments of tax and penalty, and the total amounts of interest.

    2. Enter detail data by tax class for deficiency tax and penalty, interest, and item count.

    3. Total the entries on each certificate horizontally and vertically.

    4. The date of the certification and signature of the Assessment Officer are entered where indicated.

    5. List all audit trail information in Section 6 of F23C. This can consist of DLN, F8166 numbers, recap information, etc.

    6. The assessment data must be entered into RRACS as soon as possible.

  12. Use the following procedures for correcting errors on the certificate:

    1. When a journal error is discovered prior to generating the certificate, the erroneous journal must be reversed by the DBA and re-input.

    2. When a journal error is discovered after the generation of the certificate, but on or prior to the 23C date (regardless if signed or not), reverse the 23C journal, and then reverse the original journal. Re-post the assessment correctly and generate a new certificate.

    3. When a journal error is discovered after the 23C date, make sure the statute date has not expired. On the current or future 23C date, post the reverse of the original journal. Then post the assessment correctly.

      Note:

      In all of these instances, the original posting number should be annotated in the message text of the re-input journal, for audit trail purposes.

  13. On a weekly basis, ECC will electronically transmit the assessment data to ECC-DET from the weekly computer-generated SC Recap. ECC will transmit CADE SC Recap daily.

  14. Regular and Quick assessments may be pulled weekly. Quick assessments should be pulled daily, if a specific and immediate assessment date is requested or required. Prompt assessments should be pulled daily. Jeopardy and Termination assessments should be pulled immediately after input to the assessment windows. Jeopardy assessment certificates generally contain assessments for only one entity.

3.17.63.2.4.10  (07-27-2010)
Federal Tax Deposit Daily Wire (RACS Report 007)

  1. The information will be generated by FRB number and will reflect the batch day and subsequent day classifications processed through the FTD system. It will also include confirmed FTD DT/DV information as well as unconfirmed debit vouchers totals.

  2. Daily wires may be generated or viewed online on a single bank basis, or extracted for all FRB's serviced by the campus as prescribed below.

  3. The daily wire must be verified prior to pulling. This includes verification of the tax class totals.

  4. If more than one day batch is received for an FRB, each day batch must be processed separately. The window input and the report extracted for the earliest day batch must be completed prior to inputting the second day batch.

  5. The report is generated as follows:

    1. FRB NumberEach FRB serviced by the campus.

    2. Batch DayDate of FDCR. Reported here are the total of all confirmed FTD deposit ticket amounts related to the same FRB number.

    3. The next line includes all confirmed adjustment deposit ticket amounts for that batch date or prior, for the same FRB number specified.

      Note:

      When an adjustment DT/DV is prepared to wash a previous error, and neither the adjustment nor the original DT/DV is reported on CASHLINK, the wire must be adjusted to omit these amounts. When a manual DT/DV is received, see the DBA to determine if a pen and ink change to the wire is required.

    4. Batch DateDate of FRB Day Classified Report. Reported here are the total of all confirmed FTD debit vouchers amounts related to the same FRB.

    5. The next line includes all confirmed adjustment debit voucher amounts for that batch date or prior, for the same FRB number specified.

    6. The total of all FTD DT/DVs reported in items (b) through (e) must agree with the total classified (tax classes 18, plus amounts in unclassified TAS 20F3820, and unconfirmed debit vouchers TAS 20X6879).

    7. The net amount is the confirmed deposit ticket and adjustment deposit ticket totals, minus confirmed debit vouchers and adjustment debit voucher totals.

    8. Class 1 = Withholding classified amounts posted from the classified reports and reclassification reports for batch dates equal to or less than the batch date specified for each FRB specified. This total minus credit adjustment amounts plus confirmed adjustment deposit tickets identified in (c) above are reported on this line.

    9. Class 2 = Individual income classified amounts posted from the classified reports and reclassification for batch dates equal to or less than the batch date specified for each FRB specified.

    10. Class 3 = Corporation classified amounts posted from the classified reports and reclassification report for batch dates equal to or less than the batch date specified for each FRB specified.

    11. Class 4 = Excise tax classified amounts posted from the classified reports and reclassification report for batch dates equal to or less than the batch date specified for each FRB specified.

    12. Class 7 = Tax on carriers classified amounts posted from the classified reports and reclassification report for batch dates equal to or less than the batch date specified for each FRB specified.

    13. Class 8 = Federal unemployment tax classified amounts posted from the classified reports and reclassification report for batch dates equal to or less than the batch date specified for each FRB specified.

    14. 20F3820(XX) = The in-house unclassified and non-receipt unclassified amounts for that specific batch date record, less the amounts reported in items (h) through (m) above and the debit voucher adjustment amounts. Add to this, the deposit ticket adjustment amounts for each subsequent day batch for batch dates equal to or less than the batch date requested for the same FRB specified.

    15. 20X6879(XX) = The debit voucher adjustment amounts for each record related to a batch day or subsequent day equal to or less than the batch date and specific FRB number requested less the computed amount in (e) above.

    16. If the net total of FTD DT/DV amounts is equal to the net total classified amounts, the program will continue. If not, an error message will appear and a correction will have to be made. The program will then update the DT/DV records as reported on the daily wire.

    17. 20F3820(XX) CUM = Total of all in-house unclassified and non-receipt unclassified amounts where the batch date is equal to or less than the batch date specified and the FRB is the bank specified.

    18. 20X6879(XX) CUM = Total of all unconfirmed adjustment debit voucher amounts related to a batch date equal to or less than the batch date requested and the FRB # is the bank specified.

  6. This will be repeated for each FRB specified. Due to PATAX, only one FRB will be reported to Treasury (FRB 08St. Louis). RRACS will combine the other daily wires into one report. This is the only wire that should be sent to Treasury.

  7. On the last bank processed, the date, campus name, and a signature line for the Accounting Operation Manager will appear.

  8. To view the report online, select the FTD icon and Daily Wire menu option.

  9. The daily wire will be signed by the Accounting Operation Manager, or those with the proper delegation of authority to perform the duties of the Operation Manager. Care in the delegation of authority is necessary to ensure there is awareness of control of inventories and timeliness of reports, at the branch level. The Operation Manager is ultimately responsible for anyone given the delegation of authority to perform his/her duties. Therefore, the Operation Manager must perform periodic reviews to ensure that the control of inventories and timeliness of reports guidelines have been adhered to.

  10. The daily wire will be e-mailed to FMS with 'IRS WIRE (date sending) (service center)' within the subject line. It will be transmitted to FMS by each campus to be received no later than 8:30 AM., EST on the first work day after posting the FTD Day Batch. The RACS Function will prepare a Daily Wire to Treasury reflecting all classified FTD for a given FRB and FRB Batch Day from the SCCF report printout (Reference 3.5.17.6.9(S)), three work days following a FRB Batch Day.

Deposit Tickets and Debit Vouchers Reported on SF 224 (RACS Report 017)

  1. This report is a listing of the DT/DVs used in support of the monthly SF 224. The listing is generated to provide a tool for matching DT/DVs against the Treasury's Statement of Differences and for isolating any discrepancies. All DT/DVs entered during the current accounting period that have not been previously reported will be included on this listing based on preparation date. For each DT/DV, the following information will be provided:

    1. ALC.

    2. Preparation date.

    3. Treasury number.

    4. Doc-id.

    5. DT or DV amount.

  2. Each debit voucher amount will be posted as a credit figure. In addition, the records will be sorted by preparation month and after each month, a net total (deposit tickets minus the debit vouchers) will be generated. These totals should agree with the amounts in Section III of the SF 224.

    1. The total number of deposit tickets will be listed.

    2. The total amount of deposit tickets will be listed.

    3. The total number of debit vouchers will be listed.

    4. The total amount of debit vouchers will be listed.

    5. The net total DT/DVs will be listed.

3.17.63.2.4.15  (07-27-2010)
Standard Form 224, Statement of Transactions (RACS Report 018)

  1. This monthly statement is used to report a detailed account classification of collections, refund disbursements, refund check cancellations, and transactions processed for various field offices and reflected in Treasury accounts. SF 224 serves as the basis for control accounting and reporting by Treasury, and for audit by GAO.

  2. The report is broken down into three sections. Section I shows the amount for each appropriation fund or receipt account, the receipts and revolving fund repayments, and net disbursements. Section II shows the payment transactions accomplished during the month. Section III shows the total deposit activity for the month.

  3. This report will automatically be generated in EOM processing, but may be generated separately, by selecting the Reports main menu, then selecting SF 224 on the Month- End menu.

  4. The GWA automated SF 224 program is an online data entry system. A terminal with telecommunications capabilities must be used for this transmission. The terminal will be used to connect with FMS and access GWA to enter the SF 224 data to transmit to Treasury.

    1. In order to gain access to the system, account numbers and passwords must be obtained from FMS after completing and submitting an Enterprise Security Administration System (ESAAS) request form. Fax mail form to the Financial Management Service, GOALS Customer Support Staff.

    2. The Help Desk is available by telephone or e-mail for any connectivity problem or other information needed. The hours are Monday Friday 7:00am 5:30 pm EST.

  5. The SF 224 PC system known as Gateway provides a cost-effective and easy-to-use link between the agencies personal computers and the main GOALS database. The Gateway software provided to the agencies by FMS allows all sections of SF 224 data to be entered and balanced off-line on a PC with easy-to-use formatted screens, and then sent to the centralized GOALS database.

  6. The STAR program (GOALS II) will not accept a TAS with a point under the 5XXX series for disbursement money. GOALS II WILL ONLY RECOGNIZE THESE SYMBOLS WITH THE EXTENSIONS AS RECEIPTS. (For example, OIC User Fees are entered as receipts under 20X5432.4, but as disbursements it would be entered only as 20X5432.) If there is more than one disbursement, they will need to be added together and then entered under 20X5432. (For example, disbursements under 20X5432.1, 20X5432.3, and 20X5432.4 would be added together and entered under 20X5432.)

  7. SF 224 must be transmitted on or before 12:00 noon LOCAL TIME ZONE on the second workday of the new month.

  8. Any additional adjustment(s) to Section III of SF 224, (showing the correct month/year of DT/DVs that did not fit on your SF 224 when it was entered into GOALS) must be faxed to FMS on the 2nd workday of the month.

  9. After preparing and submitting SF 224 according to procedures, agencies can submit a supplemental SF 224, if needed, by the 3rd workday. If a supplemental is needed, contact RRACS NHQ to have this supplemental application available on GOALS. The supplemental SF 224 does not replace the original SF 224, but is used to make adjustments to it. Supplementals will not be available after the 3rd workday, unless requested by FMS. If a supplemental is requested beyond the 3rd workday it will cause a Treasury yellow or red scorecard.

  10. All copies of SF 224 must be signed by the Campus Director, or his/her designee, as it reflects the Campus Director's accountability. A signed copy of SF 224 will be retained at the campus for use by GAO in its site audit.

  11. All pen and ink changes must have back up documentation to support these changes and be kept behind the SF224. This should be retained at the campus for use by GAO in its site audit.

Section 113 of that Act (31 U.S.C. 3512) states that the head of each executive agency shall establish and maintain systems of accounting and internal control to provide:

    1. Full disclosure of the financial results of the agency's activities.

    2. Adequate financial information needed for the agency's management purposes.

    3. Effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets for which the agency is responsible, including appropriate internal audit.

    4. Reliable accounting results to serve as the basis for preparation and support of budget requests, controlling the execution of its budget, and providing financial information required by the President or other designated authority.

    5. Suitable integration of the agency's accounting with the accounting of Treasury in connection with the central accounting and reporting responsibilities imposed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

  3. The accounting system of an executive agency or any of its component parts is subject to review and approval by the Comptroller General. The continuing efforts to improve, modernize, and simplify accounting systems in the federal government are exercised under a Joint Program sponsored by the Comptroller General, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Director of OMB. This program contemplates the full development of sound accounting within each executive agency as a working arm of management, and in terms of financial information and control. It envisions an integrated pattern of accounting and financial reporting for the government as a whole, that will be responsive to executive and legislative needs.

  4. The established accounting and reporting principles, standards, and basic procedures will take into consideration the various areas of responsibility involved, the elimination of overlapping operations and paper work, and the broader application of efficient methods and techniques in accounting operations throughout the government. Integration of revenue accounting data with central accounts maintained by FMS is accomplished primarily by the submission of monthly reports of deposit and classified collections, and of disbursements from the refund appropriations.

  6. On request by the GAO auditors, specific transcripts will be produced for individual cases selected for verification of refund interest computation. Taxpayer names must be obliterated or removed from transcripts prior to delivery to GAO.

  7. All un-audited records of refund transactions will be retained either in the campus files or the FRC for audit by GAO. Records of refund transactions which have been audited by GAO may be transmitted to the FRC or otherwise retired, or given another disposition authorized by their applicable record control schedule.

  8. Fax copies used in lieu of originals must be photocopied for the GAO file.

3.17.63.4  (10-01-2004)
Functional Responsibilities

  1. Various functional responsibilities are discussed below.

3.17.63.4.1  (01-01-2007)
Enterprise Computing Center, Martinsburg (ECC-MTB)

  1. ECC is primarily responsible for maintenance of the MF and CADE records for each taxpayer, and for the electronic processing of related inputs and outputs. ECC-MTB will maintain:

    1. Accounting and data control over BMF, IMF, and CADE records through manually posted MF control records and related control registers.

    2. A RACR with each campus.

  2. For each campus, ECC-MTB will prepare a separate SF 1166 or SPS print covering the total amounts of overpayment principal and interest transcribed to BMF and IMF refund files. CADE will have a separate SPS print.

  3. A designated officer at ECC-MTB will certify each voucher for the account of the applicable Campus Director. See IRM 3.17.79.

  4. The BMF, IMF, and CADE refund media and related certified vouchers will then be transmitted to the Austin Regional Operating Center for issuance of the refund checks. See IRM 3.17.79.

  5. In the MF and CADE posting operations at ECC-MTB, the computer will generate certain accounting adjustments, transactions and abstracts of revenue receipts by type of tax, and liability year classifications. These will be inscribed on output tapes for transmittal to ECC-DET for posting to RRACS, and to the campus for the printing of required registers and summaries.

3.17.63.4.2  (10-01-2005)
Submission Processing Campus

  1. Each campus is a separate accounting station and is assigned an identifying numeric. The Director will be accountable for revenue receipts and repayments deposited to his/her credit for application to BMF, IMF, NMF, and CADE accounts. Each campus will:

    1. Maintain a general ledger and such subsidiary records as are required therein. Reconcile the general ledger accounts and subsidiary records or files each month.

    2. Control all accounting documents within the campus for entry to the BMF, IMF, NMF, and CADE accounts, and for journalizing and posting to the general ledger.

    3. Receive or initiate control, and process all BMF, IMF, and NMF accounting transactions involving other campuses.

    4. Receive and control BMF, IMF, NMF, and CADE accounting outputs, and accomplish required journalization and general ledger postings.

    5. As necessary, initiate or process account transfers, account adjustments, debit or credit transfers, statutory clearances, etc., related to BMF, IMF, NMF, and CADE accounts.

    6. Prepare a F23C (RACS Report 006); F2188 (RACS Report 024); schedules for manual refunds; transcripts; and accounting reports and other accounting documents, as required.

3.17.63.4.3  (10-01-2004)
Responsibilities of Certifying Officers

  1. It is important that all officials of the IRS, as well as authorized certifying officers, be fully aware of their personal responsibilities under 31 U.S.C. Secs. 35273529.

  2. Certifying officers should use 31 U.S.C. Sec. 3528(a) as their authority to do whatever is necessary to be reasonably sure that the vouchers they certify for payment are correct and proper. Certifying officers must make periodic inspections of work in process and completed work, to assure themselves that the refund vouchers conform to prescribed procedures.

  3. Certifying officers should occasionally make unannounced verifications of the individual documents supporting refund schedules as the final step before they are forwarded to the disbursing office. The requirements for performing this verification will be developed with the assistance of the administrative officer, to coincide with the overall system of management and control. While it is not intended that certifying officers should duplicate any of the work performed during the processing operations, the certifying officer should not be required to certify vouchers without reasonable opportunity for verification or a minimum of spot checks.

3.17.63.4.4  (10-01-2004)
Transfer of Accountability of Campus Directors

  1. In accordance with the GAO accounting principles and standards, NHQ requires accountable officers to render complete accounting documentation covering the full extent of their financial accountability, as of the close of business of the last day as the accountable officer for their jurisdiction.

  2. IRM 3.0.167 provides a checklist to assist in the preparation of an action plan for a transfer of accountability, as well as the requirements of the accountability package for the outgoing and incoming accountable officers. The documentation must be maintained in the GAO site audit file.

3.17.63.5  (07-27-2010)
Redesign Revenue Accounting Control System (RRACS)

  1. RRACS is a fully automated system used to provide accounting control for all revenue accounting transactions. The database, located at ECC-DET, consists of general ledger accounts, plus a variety of internal records used for balancing and reporting. Formatted reports can be generated for all regular accounting financial reports.

3.17.63.5.1  (07-27-2010)
RRACS database

  1. Each accounting transaction is recorded in the database to the proper general ledger account. A double-entry accounting system is used to record both the debit and credit sides of the transactions. A journal number is assigned to each transaction. This journal number will be used by the terminal operator to cross-reference the input documents with the transaction.

  2. The journal control number is 13 digits signifying a unique transaction. The first three digits identify the RRACS main menu and sub-menu selections, the next six digits are the current date, and the last four signify the sequence for that window series.

  3. The RRACS database is comprised of a variety of records that will summarize the total debit and credit amounts by account numbers. Items for both debits and credits will be summarized by the disbursement and assessment accounts only.

  4. Each update to the database is by journal entry. Journal entries and online reports will be assigned a journal number. In case of an error in a journal entry or online report, the capabilities exist to reverse the entire entry by a reversal journal. Information available includes:

    1. Activity Detail - Contains information regarding prepared date, confirmed date, and assessed date of various source journals.

    2. Source Journal - Contains transaction number and batch date about a document that is posted to the database.

    3. Journal Entry - Contains amount and item count information.

  5. Components of the RRACS database are:

    1. ALC - Identifies campus.

    2. State and US Territories - Contains a list of state and US territories for Public Debt and the Commissioner's Annual Report.

    3. Default Date Regular -Monday assessment date.

    4. Responsible Official - List of Campus Directors for losses and shortages.

    5. Account Period - List of account periods that is updated annually.

    6. Financial Institution - List of FRBs.

    7. Research Detail - Additional information stored when incoming CASHLINK data do not match with RRACS deposit record (for research purposes).

    8. D-Transaction Failure - Contains reason why a batch run failed.

    9. Ledger Classification - Contains descriptive information about documents and money.

    10. Line Class - A list of refund and recap line numbers.

    11. Tax Class - A list of tax classes.

    12. Source Journal Type - Describes the type of document posted on the RRACS database.

    13. IRS Accounts - List of IRS and Treasury account numbers.

    14. Ledger Entry - Indicates whether a journal entry is a debit or credit.

    15. Appropriation Symbol - A list of Treasury appropriation symbols that RRACS reports on the SF 224.

    16. Originating Source - Information regarding the origin of deposit.

3.17.63.5.2  (07-27-2010)
Extended Hour(s) at ECC-DET

  1. Campuses will be responsible for opening an ITAMS ticket when they need extended hours on RRACS, including April 15th. The ticket should be assigned to ECC-DET Scheduling. Let them know the RRACS applications and DB2 database is required to be available on a certain day, and during what hours, (for example: Tuesday, April 15, 2008, from 8:00 AM through April 16, 2008, 2:30 AM EST (18.5 total hours)). If the request is for extended hours going beyond 12:00 midnight, contact the RRACS MITS group so they can delay overnight batch processing. E-mail the NHQ RRACS group and the RRACS MITS group when an ITAMS ticket is opened (include all details, such as date, extended hours, ticket number, etc.).

3.17.63.5.3  (07-27-2010)
Input Windows and Journal Numbers

  1. A series of input windows is provided in RRACS. Separate windows are provided for the various types of input transactions. The first table is for batch journals generated from other systems. The second table is for journals from manual input.
