AIMS Reports Generated at the Campuses

4.4.27.5.12 
Non-Assessed Closures Listing (NACL)

4.4.27.5.12.5  (12-22-2009)
Quick Assessment

  1. Initiate a quick assessment when necessary, but continue to follow-up to locate the Form 5344, TC 300 with 47 document code.

4.4.27.5.12.6  (12-22-2009)
Programming Problem

  1. If research of the NACL indicates a programming problem exists, contact the AIMS Help Line at 202-283-2256.

4.4.27.5.13  (02-08-1999)
Unverified Assessment Listing

  1. The Unverified Assessment Listing is generated monthly for closed cases with a significant money amount that had been successfully input through CC AMCLS but the TIF still contains a pending TC 300.

  2. The item will be generated on the report if the AIMS record is over one month old or the statute is within two months of expiring.

  3. The pending transactions to be included are AP, PN, RS, CU, and NU. Pending transaction for UN will appear on the report if the AIMS record is over two months old or the statute is within two months of expiring.

4.4.27.5.13.1  (02-08-1999)
Purpose

  1. The purpose of the listing is to ensure that appropriate action has been taken to process the Examination assessments, to protect the statutes, and to identify potential systemic problems.

4.4.27.5.13.2  (02-08-1999)
Responsibility

  1. Campus Examination will receive the monthly AIMS Unverified Assessment Listing to research cases closed by the campus or area offices. Coordination with the area office may be necessary in resolving employee group codes 1XXX and 2XXX cases.

4.4.27.5.13.3  (02-08-1999)
Format

  1. The following information will appear on the Unverified Assessment Listing:

    1. TIN

    2. MFT

    3. Tax Period

    4. Taxpayer Name

    5. Primary Business Code (PBC)

    6. TC 300 Amount (TIF amount)

    7. Total Assessment Amount (AIMS amount)

    8. Transaction Status

    9. Transaction Date

    10. Statute Date

    Note:

    If the statute date is within two months of expiring, seven dollar signs ($$$$$$$) will appear to the left of the record.

  2. If the item appeared on a previous Unverified Assessment Listing, an "R" will be printed to the right of the record.

4.4.27.5.13.4  (02-08-1999)
Research and Actions

  1. Take the following actions, upon receipt of the Unverified Assessment Listing.

    1. Check for imminent statutes, which must be worked on a priority basis. Initiate manual assessments when necessary to protect the statute date.

    2. Note any repeat items and compare to prior monthly listing to ensure that necessary follow-up is completed.

    3. For any pending transactions appearing on the TIF, transcript research will show if that particular transaction posted to master file without updating the TIF. If so, input CC MFREQ and monitor until the TIF is updated.

    4. If the transaction has not posted at master file, further research will be necessary. When reviewing items appearing on the list, consideration should be given to the type of pending condition.

4.4.27.5.13.4.1  (02-08-1999)
"AP"

  1. Use the chart below if the transaction is "AP" .

    IF the pending condition is "AP" THEN
    and appeared in the current cycle determine if the Examination assessment was recently re-entered. If so, monitor until posted.
    and was appended in a prior cycle check if the transaction was voided by the tax examiner or quality reviewer and determine the current status of the adjustment.

4.4.27.5.13.4.2  (02-08-1999)
"PN"

  1. Use the chart below if the transaction is "PN"

    IF the transaction is "PN" for a: THEN
    subsequent cycle monitor until posted.
    prior cycle check to see if the record posted or went unpostable and was not updated properly. Take corrective action as necessary.

    Note:

    If the list shows a large volume of " PN" transactions for a prior cycle, contact the IDRS Control unit to see if an update tape was not run.

    .

4.4.27.5.13.4.3  (02-08-1999)
"RS"

  1. Use the chart below if the transaction is "RS" .

    IF the pending transaction is "RS" THEN
    for a subsequent cycle monitor until transaction posts.
    for a prior cycle research to determine current status of transaction.

4.4.27.5.13.4.4  (02-08-1999)
"UN"

  1. If the TC 300 is reflected on TIF as a "UN" , check with the Examination unpostable function to ensure all necessary corrective action is current. Monitor until posted.

4.4.27.5.13.4.5  (02-08-1999)
"CU" or "NU"

  1. If the transaction contains a "CU" or " NU" condition, check to see what action the unpostable function used for resolution. Monitor to ensure master file posting and TIF update.

4.4.27.5.13.4.6  (02-08-1999)
"DU"

  1. If the TC 30X transaction is reflected on TIF as a "DU " , the transaction was deleted by the unpostable function. The unpostable may have been voided by Examination after research of it may have been rejected back to the area office for correction. Check with the Examination unpostable function for the current status. If the unpostable is still being worked, monitor until posted. If the unpostable was rejected back to the area office, determine if follow-up action is required and monitor until posted. If the unpostable was voided, re-entered, and posted to the same module under another DLN but the "DU" condition remains, no further action is required. The item will, however, continue to appear on future Unverified Assessment Listings as long as the module is retained on the TIF. If the Examination assessment has posted and there is no need for further monitoring, CC AMAXU may be entered with Item 90–1 to cause the item to bypass subsequent listings.

4.4.27.5.13.4.7  (02-08-1999)
"DQ"

  1. If the pending status of the 30X is "DQ" , research to determine why the initial transaction was deleted and if a related corrected transaction has been input. Monitor for posting. If the Examination assessment posted subsequent to the "DQ" condition and there is no further need to monitor, CC AMAXU, Item 90–1 may be entered to cause the item to bypass future listings.

4.4.27.5.13.4.8  (12-22-2009)
CC AMAXU, Item 90

  1. Extreme care must be used in the input of this AMAXU item because it will prevent the module from appearing on any subsequent listings and no further assessment verification will be performed. This action must not be taken if an Examination adjustment is to be remade by the campus or area office. Form 5349 is used for CC AMAXU input. Chief of Examination Operations designates personnel authorized to approve Form 5349 requests initiated at the campus.

4.4.27.5.13.4.9  (12-22-2009)
IDRS Support Unit

  1. In some circumstances, it may be necessary to coordinate with the IDRS Control Group to delete pending transactions (AP, PN, RS, CU, NU) from the TIF. Request for the input of CC DELETE should only be made if the Examination adjustment posted to another module or under another DLN and normal processing will not resolve the pending condition on the TIF.

  2. Ordinarily, the IDRS Control Group would be notified of these items by DIAG P transcripts.

  3. Once the status of the pending transaction is determined, it may be necessary to secure the input document and reenter the adjustment. All action should be taken to ensure that assessments are made timely and that AIMS and master file processing is successfully completed. If a programming problem is identified, notify the IDRS Control Group through your supervisor or AIMS Coordinator.

4.4.27.5.14  (12-22-2009)
Unallowable Items Frozen Refund Report

  1. The Unallowable Items Frozen Refund Report is generated from the Individual Master File each month from February through December and is distributed to the Chief, Exam Operations.

4.4.27.5.14.1  (12-22-2009)
Purpose

  1. This report is used to monitor frozen refund cases so that research and follow-up action can be taken to ensure that these cases are processed timely.

4.4.27.5.14.2  (12-22-2009)
Format

  1. The report will reflect the taxpayer’s name, TIN, DLN, the cycle in which the frozen refund posted, the amount of refund and the tax period.

4.4.27.5.14.3  (12-22-2009)
Procedures

  1. AIMS/IDRS research will be performed on the report to identify the current status and location of the frozen refund case. After performing this research, the Examination function that has possession of the frozen refund case(s) will be notified. The information pertaining to the frozen refund will be used by the function in possession of the case as a tool to ensure that prompt resolution action is taken and that delays receive management attention.

  2. The authority to release frozen refunds will be provided by appropriate management officials.

4.4.27.5.15  (02-08-1999)
Accounts Maintenance and Statute Transcripts

  1. Various freeze codes and unsettled account conditions at Master File generate transcripts to the Accounts Maintenance (AM) or Statute Units in the campuses. These transcripts identify taxpayer accounts that require analysis or action to release the freeze or settle the account.

  2. AM or statute transcripts generated for accounts under Examination control generally have no direct bearing on the examination (except those involving amended return freezes), and are usually resolved automatically when the examination closing posts to Master File. Some AM and statute transcripts require action by Taxpayer Service to avoid processing delays and repeated taxpayer contact. If Examination is controlling the case and the type of transcript generated requires sending a copy of the return to Taxpayer Service so they can continue processing or contacting the taxpayer for additional information, Taxpayer Service will take the following steps to coordinate with Examination:

4.4.27.5.15.1  (02-08-1999)
AM 18 Transcripts

  1. AM 18 transcripts are the majority of transcripts that are generated on IMF and BMF modules when there is a credit balance on the TXMOD and no return has posted, and an unsatisfied or unreversed TC 595 is present on the account.

    IF TC 595 is unsatisfied/unreversed and account is: THEN transcript will generate in:
    IMF 20 cycles
    BMF 40 cycles

4.4.27.5.15.1.1  (12-22-2009)
Procedures

  1. Research the account to verify if the case is still open.

    IF THEN
    open TC 420 associate transcript with the case
    TC 421 and the condition has been resolved after the issuance destroy the transcript and take no action

  2. If Examination has surveyed the case as below tolerance, per 410 of LEM V, input TC 590 CC 75 (BMF) or CC 76 (IMF).

  3. If the case has never been received/worked in Examination reverse the TC 595 (by inputting TC 592) to allow Collection to continue pursuit of the case.

4.4.27.5.15.2  (02-08-1999)
Statute Transcripts

  1. Statute transcripts are generated monthly when the statute of limitations for assessment will expire within 180 days on cases that meet the AM criteria above. Verify the statute of limitation is correct.

4.4.27.5.15.2.1  (12-22-2009)
Statute Not Imminent

  1. In a case where the statute period is NOT considered imminent, update if needed and;

    1. Only a copy of the return is needed to continue processing:

      IF the AIMS status code AND THEN campus
      is < OR = 08 the return is not available will not send the request to Examination
      (Follow-up transcripts will be generated periodically until the condition is corrected so, at some point, the return should be accessible).
      > 08   will send the request to the status and employee group listed on AIMS and Exam will attempt to comply with the request. A contact name and number will be included with the request in case clarification is needed.

    2. An inquiry must be made involving contact with the taxpayer:

      IF the AIMS status code THEN the campus
      < or = 08 or is 51–57 will not send the request to Examination.
      any other will send the name of a contact person and their telephone number. The tax examiner, tax compliance officer, tax auditor or revenue agent will contact campus for specifics and will attempt to comply with the request.

4.4.27.5.15.2.2  (02-08-1999)
Statute is Imminent

  1. If the statute period is considered imminent (only if the ASED is within 180 days) refer the case to the Statute function.

  2. Campus will contact the employee group charged with the return (either by telephone or by mail) regardless of AIMS status and Examination will attempt to comply with the request. In all cases, a contact person and telephone number will be provided to help facilitate communications between Campus and Examination.

4.4.27.5.16  (02-08-1999)
Diagnostic Transcripts

  1. Diagnostic transcripts are produced weekly for those entity or tax modules containing predetermined criteria which might indicate incorrect processing.

4.4.27.5.16.1  (02-08-1999)
Purpose

  1. Their primary purpose is to identify systemic, programming or computer operations problems. Secondarily, they may disclose operational problems in other functional areas.

4.4.27.5.16.2  (02-08-1999)
Responsibility

  1. The IDRS User Support Staff must analyze these transcripts and sort them according to problem areas revealed and by functional areas responsible for resolving the problems identified. In most instances, the IDRS Support Staff will resolve these accounts.

  2. The following types of diagnostic transcripts are discussed:

    • DIAG-P Transcripts

    • DIAG-Q Transcripts

    Note:

    If a Diagnostic Transcript is forwarded to Examination, contact your IDRS Support Staff for assistance and/or refer to IRM 3.0.33.3 for disposition procedures.

4.4.27.5.16.3  (02-08-1999)
DIAG-P Transcripts

  1. These transcripts identify entity or tax modules with transactions that have been in a pending status for an abnormal length of time, indicating that these transactions were not processed as expected.

4.4.27.5.16.4  (02-08-1999)
DIAG-Q Transcripts

  1. These transcripts identify possible problem modules on the IDRS data base, provide a means to identify and remove unnecessary accounts from the IDRS files and offer a random review of the IDRS files contents.

  2. The three types of transcripts most likely to be referred to Examination are:

    • TYPE F

    • TYPE M

    • TYPE 1–9

4.4.27.5.16.4.1  (02-08-1999)
TYPE F

  1. Identifies modules with an open control base containing a TC 904. This indicates the module is not at master file. The module may have dropped to a lower level or to the retention register. Type F transcripts will be forwarded to the employee responsible for the open control base to be reviewed for possible closure of the control base. This type of transcript will generate every ten cycles until the control base is closed or the account is activated at master file with a transaction posting.

4.4.27.5.16.4.2  (02-08-1999)
TYPE M

  1. Identifies MEMO modules containing an open control base and will be forwarded to the employee responsible for the open control base. The open control bases should be closed and a new control base established, if needed. The new control base will automatically remove the MEMO record and replace it with a DUMMY record. Type M transcripts generate after ten cycles and will continue to generate every cycle until the control base is closed.

4.4.27.5.16.4.3  (02-08-1999)
TYPE 1–9

  1. Identifies modules with no activity on the module for one year and there is no open control base. These transcripts generate each year the module has been inactive. The number for the particular transcript identifies the number of years the account has been inactive. These modules should be reviewed for necessary action.

4.4.27.5.17  (02-08-1999)
CP 87 and CP 187

  1. A notice is generated at the campus when a return to be controlled (with push code 010) using the Partnership Control System (PCS) TSLOD has not posted at Master File the same cycle as the TC 424. A CP 87 is issued for an IMF return, a CP 187 for a BMF return. These notices are titled " No Return Posted, TC 424 Request Posted" .

4.4.27.5.17.1  (02-08-1999)
Distribution

  1. The campus will distribute CP 87 and CP 187 notices resulting from Push Code 010 in this manner:

    1. One copy is sent to the Planning and Special Programs Support Manager in the related return area (the TC 424 DLN area office appearing on the notice) . The campus will provide the related return area with the name of the principal entity and the employee group in the area that is charged with the principal entity. This information can be obtained from an AMDISA, using the PCS information that appears on the notice.

    2. If no record of the account is on the TIF, the CP notice may be assumed to have been generated as the result of PCS control established by a area serviced by a different campus. The campus with the CP notice must contact the campus of the principal entity for this data.

    3. One copy is sent to the employee group in the principal entity area that generated the PCS control. The identity of the principal entity area code is printed in the PCS information appearing on the face of the CP notices.

4.4.27.5.18  (02-08-1999)
Civil Penalty Credit Transcripts

  1. Civil Penalty Credit Transcripts generate every 12 cycles when a payment posts to a civil penalty account and no assessment is made to offset the credit on the account.

  2. A TC 290.00 input on civil penalty modules generates a TC 240 .00 which also posts on Master File.

  3. Blocking series 52 in used to post the first manual TC 24X in an account and 53 is used to post subsequent penalties. Use blocking series 15 to release a freeze.

    Note:

    A TC 240 in a 59 blocking series indicates a computer generated IRP civil penalty.

4.4.27.5.18.1  (02-08-1999)
Responsibility

  1. The transcript will be issued to the function responsible for asserting the particular penalty.

4.4.27.5.18.2  (02-08-1999)
Research Procedures

  1. If the identified account does not contain a TC 240:

    1. Research to locate a possible open case in IRP, Examination or Collection or an account where the penalty is posted.

    2. Review IDRS (valid and invalid accounts as well as a spouse’s SSN), NMF, MFT 30 audit assessments and any open balance accounts.

    3. If you find that a payment was intended for another account, input a credit transfer. If necessary, request the payment document or doc code 54 or 47 documents (look for an unassessed penalty listed on audit/work papers or the payment voucher) from files and/or correspond with the taxpayer and ask him why the payment was submitted.

    4. If research or the taxpayer's response indicates a penalty needs to be assessed, route to the responsible area per the Routing Chart in IRM 4.4.27–13.

    5. If you cannot determine correct application of the payment or you do not receive a response, apply the payment per the instructions in " Applying Unresolved Credits."

  2. If there is a TC 240 in the account and research does not result in resolution, contact the area responsible for assessing the penalty for assistance in resolving the condition. If there are multiple penalties in the account, contact the area responsible for the last assessed penalty.

  3. Refer to IRM 30(85)0, Penalty and Reasonable Cause, for a list of all civil penalties and an explanation of each. See IRM 3.15.80, Information Returns Processing, for additional information concerning penalty assessment processing.

4.4.27.5.18.3  (12-22-2009)
Applying Unresolved Credits

  1. If, after research, it is determined that credits cannot be applied to an account and the case is still not resolved:

    IF doc code of the credit is AND/IF credit is THEN transfer the credit to the
    NOT 48, 58, or 65 under a year old Unidentified Remittance File. Use Form 2424.
    (Doc code not applicable) over one year old Excess Coll. File
    Use Form 8758.
    48, 58, or 65 (age not applicable) Excess Coll. File. Use Form 8758.

    If it has been determined that the payment belongs to the taxpayer, research the taxpayer’s account for other tax periods or MFT’s with OBL’s. Research includes examination of the tax return and/or payment posting voucher, as well as written or telephonic contact with the taxpayer. Apply the credit as follows:

    IF debit balance is THEN
    < credit manually transfer credit to debit balance account/module and manually transfer remaining credit to the Excess Coll. File
    = or > credit release the freeze and let the computer offset.

4.4.27.5.19  (02-08-1999)
Examination Overage Report

  1. The Examination Overage Report is generated weekly at the campus. It is a listing by IDRS employee number of the open control bases on TXMOD or ENMOD.

4.4.27.5.19.1  (02-08-1999)
Purpose

  1. This listing should be researched to determine whether the appropriate action has been completed before the control base is closed.

4.4.27.5.20  (02-08-1999)
Multiple IDRS Case Control Report

  1. A multiple case control report is generated weekly if mere than one employee has controlled the same module.

4.4.27.5.20.1  (02-08-1999)
IDRS Control Bases

  1. IDRS Case Control and Action History data are reflected on Command Code TXMOD. The Case Control section identifies the area or campus employee assigned and working the case and control information relating to the case. The Action History section contains information regarding actions taken on the account and general data that is not subject to reports or analysis.

  2. Control base information can be used for the following:

    1. Identifying an employee working the case, who may have the document or return you are trying to locate.

    2. Examination cases with account problems (amended returns, tentative carryback, or money applied to the incorrect account) may also be resolved by contact with the area or campus employee assigned the case.

    3. An example of an IDRS control base is contained in Document 6209, Section 13.

4.4.27.5.20.2  (02-08-1999)
Purpose

  1. The purpose of this report is to inform the employees that there are multiple controls therefore coordination is necessary to eliminate duplicate action.

4.4.27.6  (12-22-2009)

Exhibit 4.4.27-7  (02-08-1999)
Format of the Reject Register

(Reference: IRM 4.4.27.6.15.2)

1. The TC 424 Reject Register is designed to notify four user employee groups about requests for returns/data base that could not be honored by MCC. The user employee groups and register heading information identifying each employee group are:

  1. Appeals

  2. Employee Plans

  3. Exempt Organizations

  4. Examination:
    Exam Operations at the Campus
    Campus Classification
    PBC Group Requests
    PBC Other Requests

2. Each rejected item contains three lines of information:

  • The first line (identified with the literal "MF" ) contains information from Master File highlighting the error condition encountered and as much other information as is available.

  • The second line (identified with the literal "AIMS" ) contains information from the AIMS Data Base at the time the rejected item was received on magnetic tape.

  • The third line repeats the 4-digit reject code and its literal translation.

3. This exhibit will address only the procedures for handling Examination rejects.

4. Within each of the Examination reject groupings there are several sub groupings that are identified by a specific title but that are sorted separately by computer. Analysis of the register pages is necessary to determine the origin and disposition of the rejects. The four categories and necessary actions are covered in Section A.

SECTION A

1. SERVICE CENTER EXAMINATION rejects involve 2 subgroups.

  1. Campus requisitions of returns/data base for Service Center Compliance purposes. These returns can be identified by Employee Group Code 5XXX in Item 16 of the Master File or Item 26 of the AIMS line of the reject register. The AIMS record will usually be a skeletal account (Item 25 = F1).

  2. Tax Shelter or other computer generated requests where the return is already in Service Center Compliance inventory. The returns can be identified by Employee Group Code other than 5XXX in Item 16 of the Master File line but with 5XXX in Item 26 of the AIMS line.

2. SERVICE CENTER CLASSIFICATION rejects involve 3 subgroups.

  1. Campus requisitions of returns/data base for the Centralized Classification area for association with other documents prior to delivery to the areas. These returns can be identified by the AIMS PBC in Item 24 of the AIMS line, and Item 25 is F1 but the Employee Group Code (Item 16) is not 5XXX.

  2. Campus computer identified projects where the return/data base is in area inventory. Source Codes 04 (Multiple Filers), 11 (Studies, Tests and Research Programs), 13 (Married Filing Separately), 85 (IRP—Wages) or 86 (IRP—All Other) appear in the Master File Line (Item 17) . Computer generated documents and case files within the Service Center Compliance must be located and forwarded to the area employee group charged with the AIMS inventory (Item 26 of the AIMS line)

  3. Modules removed to the retention register. Modules that have been inactive for a specified period of time are periodically moved to the retention register. These rejects can be identified by the appearance of "Service Center Examination" in Item 4 of the Header and Reject Code 1970 or 3471 in Item 15 of the Master File line.

3. PBC/SBC GROUP REQUEST rejects involve no additional subgroups. SBC group requisitions of returns/data base can be identified by the Employee Group Code in Item 2 of the Header page. Only group inventory in Status 10, 12, 13, 17 or 18 is included in this portion of the reject register.

4. PBC/SBC OTHER REQUEST rejects involve 3 subgroups. All three subgroups can be identified by the fact that the Status Code is other than 10, 12, 13, 17 or 18.

  1. PBC/SBC requests that are computer generated (tax shelter, DATC, etc.) can be identified by the absence of any AIMS File line information.

  2. PBC/SBC requests that are computer generated (tax shelter, DATC, etc.) can be identified by either a skeletal (F1 in Item 25 of the AIMS File line) or a full data base account (FO in Item 25 of the AIMS File line).

  3. PBC/SBC requests that originate from Partnership Control System can be identified by status 99 in Item 3 of the report Header line.

SECTION B

This section provides a line by line description of the TC 424 Reject Register (Non status 99 and status 99).

TC424 Reject Register (Non status 99)

1. PBC/SC/AP-PBC/Service Center/Appeals Code

  1. For all PBC requests this is always the TC 424 PBC code.

  2. If campus request (employee group code 5XXX in Item 2) and Item 16 is blank, this will be the PBC "of record" . Campus has requested a return for campus.

  3. If campus request (employee group code 5XXX in Item 2) and Item 16 has an entry, this will be the TC424 PBC code. Campus has requested a return for an PBC.

GRP-CD—Employee group code of the requester.

3. STATUS—Status code of the requester. For all PCS command code TSLOD rejects the status will be 99, otherwise, it will be the status input on the request document.

4. Title—TC 424 Rejects

5. Page Number

6. Run Date

7. TIN/File Source

8. MFT/Plan Number

9. Tax Period

10. Name Control/Check Digit

11. Master File Taxpayer Name will appear if there is a match on TIN, MFT, Tax Period and Name Control. Will not be present if account is on retention register. If project code is 010, indicating PCS, and reject code is 03, 09, 19, 52, 59, 61, or 77, the TIN File Source, MFT and Tax Period of the partnership will appear in the right most portion of the taxpayer name. For reject code 97, this entry will be the same name line that was present when the account was removed to retention register if it is the same as the current Master File name line. Otherwise, no name line will appear in this entry. For reject codes 59 and 88, this entry will be the latest available name line from master file.

12. Primary Business Code

13. Extra Information—TC 424 cycle or date

14. TC 424 Reject Code—See Item 30 for explanation of the codes.

15. Employee Group Code—is present only when campus has requested a return for PBC, and is the employee group code input by campus TC 424 action.

16. Source Code—from 424 input

17. Return Request Indicator—Below is an explanation of the entries appearing in this item.
Blank = Return Requested
1 = Charge Out and Labels Requested — No return requested
3 = No Return, Charge-Out or Labels Requested

The following (19-28) are per AIMS 424 Request:

18. AIMS—Action Code Literal (DLT=record has been deleted from AIMS)

19. AIMS status code

20. Name Control/Check Digit

21. Project Code—if both the push code and project code are used on the 424 request, the project will appear here.

22. Name

23. Primary Business Code

24. AIMS will carry several designations of the types of data base accounts which may be encountered at the time the reject record is processed by the AIMS computer system.

These designations are:

  1. BLANK No data base account

  2. F0 Full Account. This indicates that the account is on AIMS. This message will occur when a TC 424 is input just prior to the weekly processing in which the record appears as a full display (because of a transfer-in or a previously unposted TC 424 that rejected due to a CID freeze that CID subsequently forced posted.)

  3. F1 Skeletal Account. This is the most frequently encountered condition. It indicates that the terminal requisition contained a flaw which had caused Master File rejection which in turn usually deletes the AIMS skeletal account. A deleted account is evidenced by the letters DLT at the left of the AIMS information line.

  4. F2 Residual Transfer Record. The account being rejected was a full account on the data base, but was transferred to another PBC. The rejected record and any documents related to the record, should be forwarded to the transferee area.

  5. F3 Restricted Account. This condition should not be encountered since restricted accounts are no longer utilized within the AIMS system.

  6. F4 Changed TIN Record. This condition should not be encountered, since Master File originated TIN changes would be addressed to the new TIN on the AIMS data base. In the event the condition is encountered, obtain an AMDISA print of the changed from account as well as the changed to account and forward to the appropriate employee group for resolution.

25. Employee Group Code

26. Source code

27. Return Request Indicator—see item 18 for explanation.

28. TC 424 reject code (same as Item 15)

29. Explanation of reject code. See Exhibit 4.4.27-8. for instructions for resolving certain codes. Any reject codes not listed in the Exhibit may be found in IRM 3.12.32, General Unpostables; IRM 3.12.179, Unpostable Resolution; or Document 6209, ADP and IDRS Information. If not available, contact the AIMS Coordinator in the area or the Chief, Examination Branch at the campus.

Exhibit 4.4.27-8  (02-08-1999)
TC 424 Reject Codes and Action Indicated

See IRM 4.4.27.5.11.

The Reject Code is comprised of 4 digits. The first 3 digits are the Unpostable Code (UPC) and the 4th digit is the Reason Code (RC) . (ex. Reject Code 1590: 159=UPC, 0 = RC)

Any reject codes not listed below may be found in IRM 3.12.32, General Unpostable Framework; 3.12.179, SC Error Resolution; or Document 6209, ADP and IDRS Information. If not available, contact the AIMS/ERCS Analyst in the AIMS Coordinator at the campus.

same This indicates there is an open TC 420 or 424 at Master File for your area but the data base is not on AIMS. The AIMS Coordinator will resolve these rejects (see (2) ) and notify the requester when they can reinput the request.
(2) AIMS Coordinator: to resolve the reject research Master File (CC: TXMOD; BMFOL; IMFOL; MFTRA) . If it is determined there is no open case, reverse the TC 420 or 424 at Master File by posting a TC 421 using IDRS input.
