3.20.12.3.11  (01-01-2013)
Form 990-EZ Filed in Lieu of Form 990-N

  1. The following list contains examples of why a filer cannot file an electronic Form 990-N without the assistance of IRS.

    • The Form 990-N system is not allowing the filer to submit their filings

    • EO Submodule is not established

    • Filer has no access to a computer

  2. When a filer is unable to file an electronic Form 990-N, they may send in a paper Form 990/990-EZ, and cross out the "990-EZ or 990." on the top of the form and write "Form 990-N " , "could not access the 990-N system" or similar wording, anywhere on the form. These returns should be sent to Entity at Mail Stop 6273, in order to establish the Form 990-N electronically for them. Substitute Forms 990-N are not to be imaged, all Form 990-Ns are mandated to be filed electronic.

3.20.12.3.12  (01-01-2013)
Fix-its

  1. Fix-its are errors identified after the return is sent to the release function and prior to the document leaving the Imaging Unit. An example of an error corrected using the Fix-it process would be a poor quality image.

3.20.12.3.12.1  (01-01-2013)
Controlling and Processing Fix-its

  1. The return will need to be deleted from the system and reprocessed. Do not process it using the refilm procedures. The entire return must be reprocessed.

  2. Returns that need to be fixed due to processing imaging errors are batched within their own new batch or inserted into an established batch of work that contains the same form type. A Fix-it return is not counted as a new return and is not to be counted as a receipt. Taking another count for the return would result in double counting for one return.

  3. Each return must be Document Prepared (Doc. Prep.), Scanned, Quality Controlled (QC), Validated, Verified, Reassociated, Restricted, and Quality Reviewed (QR).

  4. When a batch has completed the various steps, the system will automatically release each batch to the next step.

3.20.12.3.13  (01-01-2013)
Document Preparation

  1. Preparing the return for scanning is an important operation. Properly performed, this step can ensure efficiency through the remaining processes.

  2. During this step scanning operators will:

    1. Annotate edit marks throughout the return. Exhibit 3.20.12-7.

    2. Review the entity and subsection code.

    3. Identify items not open for public inspection.

    4. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ "≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ " ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

3.20.12.3.13.1  (01-01-2013)
Document Preparation — General Information

  1. Numbering helps in reassociation of rejected documents and during QR, should a return require additional scanning or if information is not clear.

    1. Number all returns and their respective envelopes in the lower right hand margin.

    2. If there is no envelope attached, write "NE" as well as a number.

    3. If there is no envelope, but there are other items needing reassociation after imaging, number those items accordingly.

    4. If multiple returns were shipped in one envelope, write the number and alpha character (e.g., 1a, 1b, 1c and so on), on the returns.

    5. Ensure anything not scanned is attached to the envelope for reassociation later. This includes forms listed in the table below, requests for acknowledgment of receipt, and check stubs.

      Note:

      IRS General Instructions, when they can be easily removed from the return package, do not need to be imaged and can be attached to the envelope for later association.

    6. Envelopes and other information not scanned should be kept in proper order for reassociation.

    7. If a return is missing the first page, the return is unprocessable. Refer to unprocessable return procedures.

  2. VERIFY the return has a nine digit Employer Identification Number (EIN), a primary name, and a valid state.

  3. If primary name is missing, place the document in the Entity basket and route to EO Entity for additional research.

    Note:

    Do not edit missing information from other documents within the submission. EO Entity will research for missing data.

  4. If EIN is missing, incomplete, or is invalid, (e.g., less than nine digits, incorrect format, etc.) place the document in the Entity basket and route to EO Entity for additional research.

    Note:

    Do not edit missing incomplete or invalid information from other documents within the submission. EO Entity will research for data.

  5. If a remittance is discovered, immediately take the complete return to the manager.

  6. Amended returns may be attached to a copy of the originally filed return. If this is the case, image the amended return per all imaging guidelines, but do not image the copy of the original.

  7. The following forms are not part of the current imaging process:

    • Form 990-BL, Information and Initial Excise Tax Return for Black Lung Benefit Trusts and Certain Related Persons

    • Form 1023, 1024, and 1028, Application for Recognition of Exemption

    • Form 1040, Individual Income Tax Return

    • Form 1120, U S Corporation Income Tax Return

    • Form 6069, Return of Excise Tax on Excess Contributions to Black Lung Benefit Trust Under section 4953

    • State Tax Returns

    If returns are originals, they may be separated during pipeline processing and routed as required. If attached, see IRM 3.20.12.2.3 for imaging and redacting/restricting procedures.

  8. Detach returns with an original signature. Do not detach a return used to supplement or support the return to which it is attached to (e.g., Form 3800 is attached to a 990-T, Form 1041-A attached to a 5227, Form 2220 is attached to a 990-PF). Edit the received date of the return on the detached document. Continue Document Preparation of the return from which the attachment was separated.

  9. Detach all original attachments per "Attachment Routing Guide" table below:

    Attachment Routing Guide
    Attachment (Form/document)
    Note: Only detach if the return is an original     		Form received that has the attachment Detach Action
    Form 990 series All Yes If an original return, detach and image
    Form 1023, 1024, or 1028, Application for Recognition of Exemption All Yes, if the signature is an original, otherwise leave attached If signature is an original route to CSPC
    201 W Rivercenter Blvd.
    Attn: EP/EO Determinations
    Team 31404
    Covington, KY 41011
    Form 1120-POL 990 / 990–EZ & 990–T Yes If an original return, do not image. Route to processing
    Form 4720 - Return of Certain Excise Taxes on Charities and other Persons under Chapters 41 and 42 of the IRC All that have an original signature Yes If original return, detach and image. When attached to Form 990-PF, however, an image of Form 4720 is included in the Form 990-PF, as it is open to public inspection in such case. See Reg. 1.6033-2(j)."CAUTION: note: When detaching Form 4720 from any other form make sure you also detach any applicable statements or attachments relating to Form 4720
    Form 5227 - Split Interest Trust Information Return All Yes If original return, detach and image.

  10. If an original/amended return is received with a CP notice 420 thru 429, or a CP 259 A-G attached and has not previously been worked by the Entity unit prior to receipt in Imaging, take the following steps:

    • Pull return

    • Do Not Image

    • Route to Entity M/S 6273 via Form 3210

    • Annotate in the remarks that a TDI notice is attached

    Note:

    In January 2009, the CP 420 – 424 notices were replaced with the CP 259 A-G notices.

  11. In addition, the following document preparation must be completed:

    1. Indicate/annotate "Return Scanned" or "filmed" and the date.

    2. Remove all staples.

  12. Brochures, pamphlets, and other materials the EO has filed should be imaged. If unusually large amounts of attachments, books, etc. are with the return, contact management to determine if scanning is necessary.

  13. If Form 8913 is attached to Form 990-EZ or Form 990-PF as a supporting documentation, Form 8913 is to be imaged and restricted.

  14. The following table gives examples of scenarios that may be received in Imaging and the appropriate action to take:

    Example Scenarios and Appropriate Actions to Take
    If And Then
    Form 990-EZ is submitted by the filer converted to a Form 990 by IRS do not image the converted return.
    an amended return is received is attached to an original return review each return to determine if a scanned stamp is present. If no scan stamp is present on the amended return follow 3.20.12.3.8, and image as a new return. The original return attached should contain a scanned stamp verifying it was already imaged and will not be imaged again but kept behind the amended . If not, and it is not clear marked as a copy for supporting documentation, it also needs to be imaged as a separate return under the appropriate program code.
    an amended return is received is not attached to an original return and not stamped with the scan stamp image amended return following amended return instructions in IRM 3.20.12.3.8.
    both Form 990-EZ and Form 990 are received from the filer both are original returns and have not been imaged (no scanned stamp present) detach and image both Form 990-EZ and Form 990 as originals under the appropriate program code.
    the filer sends a copy of a return (electronically filed or paper) to Rejects and Rejects forwards the copy to Imaging   do not image, forward to department manager for resolution.
    CIS return is received   treat as a live return and image.
    SMIP return is received   do not image. A SMIP return is a return that is printed off of the OL-SEIN system (already imaged)
    amended return is received from Accounts Management   image following 3.20.12.3.8. If you receive amended returns treated as a refilm forward to the department manager for resolution.

3.20.12.3.13.5  (01-01-2013)
Unprocessable Return

  1. An unprocessable EO return is any of the following:

    • A return with completely illegible entries

    • A return missing page one, with no available entity data to index

    • A return from foreign and U.S. Possession organizations with no amounts converted to U.S. currency or written in numerical characters.

  2. The following steps should be taken:

    • Do not image the return.

    • Do not stamp the return indicating that it was scanned.

    • Pull the return and place in the front of the batch.

    • Route the unprocessable return(s) to Code & Edit with the other processed returns in the batch.

3.20.12.3.13.6  (01-01-2013)
Frivolous Return

  1. A frivolous argument is used for the purpose of expressing dissatisfaction with the substance, form or administration of tax laws by attempting to illegally avoid or reduce tax liabilities. Recognized frivolous arguments made by businesses include, but are not limited to, examples shown in IRM 4.10.12 .

  2. If the return is a potentially frivolous return, the following steps are to be taken:

    • Do not image the return.

    • Do not stamp the return indicating that it was scanned.

    • Pull the return, flag it as a potentially frivolous return and place it in the front of the batch.

    • Route the frivolous return(s) to Code & Edit with the other processed returns in the batch.

  3. Returns having only zeros, no entries, blank, or indicating "None, Not Liable" , etc., with no evidence of a frivolous argument are not to be considered frivolous returns.

  4. Code & Edit will route the potentially frivolous return to the Frivolous Filer Program where EOCA will determine if the return is indeed a frivolous return. If EOCA determines that the return should be processed, it will be returned to Imaging for normal processing.

3.20.12.3.13.7  (01-01-2013)
Document Preparation – Editing

  1. All edit marks are written on the bottom right margin of the page in purple ink, ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

  2. Often, an EO will submit a form, schedule or attachment that is skewed, or is a poor photocopy. These are referred to as "poor quality" . Edit a single check to the bottom of the page that is affected.

  3. On Forms 990 and 990-EZ, if the return requires no further action in Restricting, edit "P" . The document can then be closed during Restricting.

  4. On Forms 990, 990-EZ, and 990-PF, if the form itself has pages with issues requiring action in Restricting, edit "G#" ; G indicates "go to" and the # represents the page needing the work.

    Example:

    A "G3" is edited on the bottom of the first page. During restricting, go to page 3 and redact the material that can not be disclosed.

  5. If no zip code or zip code is less than five digits, research the zip code directory and annotate the correct zip code.

    Note:

    If the zip code belongs to a foreign address, no additional research is required.

  6. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ "≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ " ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ "≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ " ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

  7. On Form 990, if a Schedule H is attached to paper returns, edit the letter "H" in the bottom right margin (not applicable on E-File returns) for ease of identification and indexing.

3.20.12.3.13.8  (01-01-2013)
Reimages

  1. The minimum requirements for reimaging a document are the following:

    • Page one of the return or IDRS print and,

      Note:

      Preferred IDRS print is BRTVU.

    • Reimage pages (i.e., pages/information missing from initial filing).

  2. On Forms 990, 990–EZ, and 990-PF, if the additional information received from EO is a signature jurat (declaration), the jurat must be scanned.The signature is imaged and disclosed.

  3. If there is no blue tag attached to an original return/document do the following:

    1. Check for a "scan" stamp.

    2. If there is no "scan" stamp, scan the entire document.

    3. If a "scan" stamp is present, return to originator of the request.

    4. If the entire return needs to be rescanned, circle out the stamp or annotate with a single "X" .

  4. Organize the additional information in the following order:

    1. Page one of the return or the IDRS BRTVU print;

    2. Return pages organized in sequential order;

    3. Schedule A in sequential order (Forms 990 and 990-EZ ONLY);

    4. Schedule B in sequential order (Forms 990, 990–EZ, and 990-PF ONLY);

    5. Supplemental information.

  5. If reimaging requirements are not met, route the return back to the originator for clarification.

    • Schedule H attached (Form 990)

    Note:

    Returns filed electronically only require input of the EIN, organization name abbreviations/corrections, and OFAC information. All other descriptive information automatically populated will be accepted without inputting or reviewing it for accuracy.

  2. Enter the Employer Identification Number (EIN).

    1. A valid EIN consists of 9 digits in the following format: NN-NNNNNNN.

    2. If EIN is missing, invalid, or incomplete, delete and route to EO Entity M/S 6054.

    4. Do not double space.

    5. Do not use single or double quotes, periods or commas in the name line.

    6. Do not input an apostrophe, do not space for the apostrophe. Example, if the name is O'Brien, you would enter the name as OBrien.

    9. Always include Union, Post or Club numbers on the name line.

    10. Only include the word "The" if it is associated with only one other word.

      Example:

      The EO name shown on the return is "The Group." Both words would be included as the primary name. However, if the EO name on the return was "The First Group" only, " First Group" would be included as the primary name.

    11. If the first name line includes donor numbers, account numbers, or contract numbers, do not include.

      Example:

      "8256972 Trust for May Flower" or "First Bank FBO May Flower 158935" . The numbers should not be included in the primary name line.

Quality Review

  1. The Quality Review step ensures each process of the program is completed to the highest quality possible.

  2. This includes viewing all pages to ensure that required data is restricted/redacted, preventing un-authorized disclosure issues.

  3. Errors that can be corrected in the QR function are:

    • Errors made during Validation; and

    • Errors made during Restricting.

  4. Errors made during Quality Control cannot be corrected in the Quality Review function. When these errors are found:

    1. Pull the paper return; and

    2. Route for correction.

    1. Delete the image from the system,

    2. Pull the hard copy document from the folder,

    3. Circle out all stamps indicating the return was scanned, and

    4. Route the filing to the Statute Unit for clearance.

  6. If an error occurs because the document separator sheet was not recognized, this is cause for deletion. In this case:

    1. Delete the image from the system,

    2. Pull both hard copy paper returns from the folder,

    3. Merge the documents back through the entire Imaging Process.
