-
Each Campus is responsible for installing the OTCnet and RS-PCC equipment.
-
Headquarters will assist Campus Support and Field Assistance with the responsibility of training their individual areas on using the OTCnet and RS-PCC systems.
-
If you experience problems with the OTCnet screens, contact Treasury OTC Support Center at either 1–866–945–7920 or 302–324–6442 or via E-mail at: FMS.OTCChannel@citi.com.
-
If you experience problems with the RS-PCC system, contact the RS-PCC HQ analysts via E-mail at &W&I CAS:SP:ATP:EP:RSPCC.
-
All sites are responsible for the upkeep of new equipment purchases for OTCnet or RS-PCC by coordinating with their individual Organization Procurement Analyst. The Submission Processing Accounting and Tax Payment Branch is no longer responsible for the upkeep or purchase of new equipment for users of OTCnet and RS-PCC.
-
Only authorized users may gain access to the OTCnet; Contact the RS-PCC OTCnet Security, Valerie Jones: 202-283-4167, at Valerie.Jones@irs.gov or &W&I CAS:SP:ATP:EP:RSPCC.
-
Authorized users will be issued a Login name and temporary password. Upon initial login, the password must be changed to a unique password that will only be known to that user.
-
Only the Manager, Lead or designated employees have permission to access the POS System Administration Tool (SAT). New login names must contain a minimum of six characters.
-
The PCC terminal constitutes a stand-alone machine, therefore each user must be added to each individual terminal. It is advised when the user changes a password on one terminal that it should be changed on all others as well. When the password is changed in the SAT, it is also changed in the POS and Batch Manager for that terminal.
-
If a user becomes locked, a red lock icon will appear next to the user name under the SAT. To unlock, activate, deactivate, or edit a user account, right click on the users login. A drop-down menu will appear with the following choices: New, Edit, Delete, Unlock, and Deactivate. Click the action you wish to take and the users account is immediately updated.
-
If a user has forgotten their password, a new temporary one needs to be issued via the SAT by a designated system administrator. Once this password has been issued, the user will need to login to the POS using the temporary password and then change the temporary password to a new password.
-
Agency Location Code (ALC) - This is an eight digit number identifying a governmental agency for accounting purposes used in the TRS system to distribute funds. The PCC input clerk must always make sure the ALC is the proper one assigned.
-
Valid Agency Location Code plus 2 - The agency identifying code plus a unique two digit number that is used in POS to identify a cash-flow. This number is assigned by the Treasury OTCnet Support Center. The ALC+2 numbers are:

As of April, 2005, IRS began using a new technology to process COIC checks. This technology is known as PCC OTC. The PCC OTC system scans checks and automates the receipt, acceptance, transferring, and recording of funds. PCC OTC is a system that converts checks into electronic fund transfers. The paper checks are no longer sent to the bank. FS recommends the scanned checks be shredded within 14 days after processed. The shredder must be located with the unit where the scanned checks are securely stored.
-
As of August 2012, COIC begin using OTCnet. OTCnet replaced PCC OTC by combining ACH and Check 21 in the same process. Payments are still scanned and Brookhaven and Memphis Campus Support are the only sites that process COIC payments. They must fax a copy of the OTCnet Deposit Breakdown Sheet for the current day’s deposit to the designated fax number at Cincinnati Submission Processing Accounting Department. Campus Support must send, via overnight mail delivery, the batch listings, and the original Form 2515, Record of Offer in Compromise, to Cincinnati Submission Processing Accounting Department.
-
When OTCnet is down, the Account Management (AM) Headquarters Campus Support Analyst and Submission Processing (SP) Headquarters RS-PCC Analysts must be notified immediately. If OTCnet is down for more than one day, the payments must be transshipped to Cincinnati Submission Processing. See:IRM 21.1.7 W&I Accounts Management Campus Support.
-
Campus Support must be made aware of questionable remittances. SeeIRM 21.1.7 W&I Accounts Management Campus Support.
