Each returned prenote has an associated return reason code; the register must be worked within five days of receipt. The following chart outlines reason codes and their resolutions:
Prenote Reason Code Resolution "01" or "06" Incorrect Account Number "02" or "07" Incorrect Routing Number "03" or "08" Incorrect Routing and Account Number "04" Incorrect Individual Name /Receiving Company Name "05" Incorrect Transaction Code "09" Incorrect Individual Identification Number "10" Incorrect Company Name "11" Incorrect Company Identification Number "12" Incorrect Company Name and Incorrect Company Identification Number "13" Not a member of the ACH Reminder:
These accounts MUST be set up as a:
-
Direct Debit regular checking
-
Direct Debit business checking, or
-
Regular installment agreement
-
-
The most common reason for a returned prenote is a problem with the ABA/Transit Number or the taxpayer account number:
-
The bank typically provides us the "09" change data to enter on the taxpayer account; use this data to update the account on IDRS.
-
If no correction information is given, pull the Form 433-D, Installment Agreement, and verify the information on the check; sometimes, an input error is the cause.
-
Programming is incomplete to process savings account Direct Debit Installment Agreements (savings accounts only). If research reveals a DDIA savings request, contact and inform the taxpayer these accounts cannot be processed at this time. Convert the DDIA to a regular agreement and inform the taxpayer of the change.
-
If the bank provided no change data and a review of the check does not reveal an input error, the EFT liaison contacts the bank shown on the taxpayer’s check to verify the correct data.
-
If the bank verifies our information, reinput the agreement.
-
If the bank is not a member of the ACH, convert the DDIA to a regular agreement.
-
If item "e)" above is applicable, you need not input a new agreement; instead, turn off the EFT indicator and change the ALN.
-
Send a letter to the taxpayer informing them to make their payment by check directly to the IRS
-
If we correct the prenote data and it is returned a second time, convert the DDIA to a regular agreement by following the procedures outlined in e)and f) above
-
-
When changing the bank account information on a DDIA account, you must re-prenote the agreement.
-
If the prenote information is changed within 15 days of the payment due date, the payment request is not generated:
-
Check CC EFTAD with the taxpayer’s TIN, seeing if the payment request is displayed.
-
If the payment request is displayed, use CC EFTOF to turn off the payment request.
-
If the payment request is not displayed, ensure the Skip Indicator is turned on and take no further action.
-
Notify the taxpayer by sending a "C" Letter, advising we will not begin their payment requests until the following month.
Note:
The cycle must be moved out 8 cycles and the skip turned back on. The payment will not be withdrawn until the next month. Emphasize this to the taxpayer when sending the letter. The taxpayer will need to make the payment and the new DDIA will begin being withdrawn eight (8) weeks later.
-
-
The Non-Payment Problem Register generates whenever a payment is not received from the financial institution; work this problem register within five days of receipt.
-
When working this listing, ensure the taxpayer is allowed a skip if you reinstate the agreement.
-

-
If these codes are received during the following month:
Convert to a regular agreement requiring the taxpayer mail a check or money order; stop future DDIA payment requests by turning off the EFT Indicator
and
Change ALN from "03XX" to an appropriate ALN
Send a letter advising the taxpayer we established an installment agreement and reminder notices are sent monthly
Taxpayer Error: -
"74" : Corrected Return
-
"75" : Original Return - Not a Duplicate
-
"76" : No Errors Found
-
The first time these codes are returned, allow an additional skip and update AMS narrative
-
If these codes are received in the following month, default the agreement
-
-
Verify the TC 671 and TC 280 posted to the taxpayer’s accounts:
If... Then... Transaction Codes 671 and 280 are present Take no action Transaction Codes 671 and 280 are NOT present Notify the Computer Branch immediately The return reason code indicates the taxpayer closed the account, or stopped payment, and this is the first TC 671 Manually default the DDIA to prevent the Service making a second request. -
The other return reason codes cause the system to default the agreement when the second TC 671 posts to the account; no further action is necessary.
-
If the EFT 18 displays error records, the liaison reports the problem to the Computer Branch immediately.
-
Retain the EFT 18 listing for one year. File the EFT 18 listings in reverse chronological order by Mellon (or Bank of America) Date.
-
Sometimes an EFT 18 listing generates, but TC 671 and TC 280 do not post to IDRS; Accounting Operations is out of balance in this circumstance:
-
The Computer Branch can correct this condition in most cases
-
When they are unable to correct this condition, CSCO prepares a one-sided Form 2424, Account Adjustment Voucher, for each affected taxpayer, to reverse the credit, attaching a copy of the EFT 18 with the appropriate taxpayer underlined in RED as backup documentation.
-
-
The EFT 16 Listing identifies when Accounting Operations is "out of balance" due to activity occurring for DDIAs. This arises when the correspondent bank gives return items, such as bad payments, on paper instead of through the EFT 18 Listing. This listing must be processed within 5 working days of receipt.
-
When this occurs, a one-sided Form 2424, Account Adjustment Voucher, is prepared to manually reverse the taxpayer’s credit.
-
Collection assists Accounting Operations with required research to resolve the out of balance condition.
-
However, Accounting Operations needs minimal assistance in such matters as the correspondent bank provides the taxpayer data necessary to identify the problem account.
-
-
The EFT 16 Listing generates daily, routed to Accounting Operations.
-
If CSCO receives an EFT 16, follow up with Accounting Operations within one day of receipt to determine if they received a copy.
-
If Accounting Operations did not receive it, forward the EFT 16 Listing to Accounting Operations.
-
If Accounting Operations did receive it, destroy the EFT 16 Listing.
-
-
The EFT 10 Listing is an error list generated by Computer Services. CSCO receives this listing each week; and it must be worked within 10 days of receipt. The number of accounts on this list is low if CSCO inputs DDIAs correctly and works the EFT 18 Listings in a timely manner. The EFT 10 ensures the DDIA program functions correctly and CSCO processes the agreements correctly.
-
Take the following actions to resolve different error categories:
If... Then... Status Now Closed: The account is no longer in Status 60 -
Check IDRS for a cross-reference account in Status 63
-
Establish a DDIA on the cross-reference account if the primary account is in Status 12
-
Default the cross-reference account if the primary account is not in Status 12
Payment Request Within Prenote Period: Bank data changed within 15 days of the scheduled payment due date Follow procedures for re-prenote: see
IRM 5.19.10.9.3, EFT 18 Listing - CSCO ProcessingAgreement Not on EFT File -
Check the Agreement Locator Number (ALN) on CC IADIS
-
Turn off the EFT Indicator if the ALN denotes it is not a DDIA
-
Check CC EFTAD for bank data if the ALN denotes it is a DDIA
-
If bank data not present on CC EFTAD, pull the Form 433-D or Form 9465, Installment Agreement, to obtain the data
-
If bank data is found, input the data using CC IAGRE and CC EFTNT
-
If a Form 433-D or Form 9465, Installment Agreement, cannot be found, make two attempts to call the taxpayer to verify information.
-
If unable to contact the taxpayer, convert the DDIA to a regular IA. Send Letter 1961C, Installment Agreement for Direct Debit Form 433-D, to inform the taxpayer of the change and request banking information.
-
If there was a TIN, Merge, reinput the bank data
Negative Confirmation on Bank Information: EFT 18 Listing not timely worked -
Access CC EFTAD and determine the date of the EFT 18
-
Pull EFT 18 and correct the prenote information: see
IRM 5.19.10.9.3, EFT 18 Listing - CSCO Processing
Duplicate Payment Date: Payment date changed within 15 days of scheduled payment due date Notify the taxpayer they should send us this month’s payment via check or money order, and the DDIA will resume the following month Caution:
Sometimes during computer processing, the payment erroneously is pulled regardless, resulting in two payments taken from the account in a single month.
Payment Amount .00 -
Check CC IADIS, verifying the payment amount.
-
Correct the payment amount using Form 433-D, Installment Agreement if ".00" displays in the payment amount field.
-
-
If other error records or notations appear on EFT 10, notify the Computer Branch.
-
The EFT 14 Listing is a report generated by the Computer Branch. CSCO receives this report weekly. This listing must be processed within 10 days of receipt.
-
The first part of the report is the "Dropped Account Register" ; this listing is a record of all accounts in DDIA status with no DDIA activity for six (6) months
Note:
File this listing in reverse chronological order and retain the listing for one year.
-
The second part of the report is the "Inactive Accounts List" ; this a list of DDIA accounts in DDIA status with no payments requested within eight cycles.
-
-
Review accounts on the "Inactive Accounts List" within five days of receipt to determine why no payment request was generated; this listing is typically small if the EFT 10 and EFT 18 Listings are worked timely.
-
The most common reason for accounts appearing on this listing is the prenote period did not expire in time to make a payment request or the account is no longer in DDIA status.
-
Verify the account is in Status 60.
-
Check CC IADIS, to see if the EFT indicator is off
-
If indicator is on, take no action
-
Verify the DDIA information using CC EFTAD, to see if the prenote was input less than 15 days prior to the payment due date.
-
If the prenote was input less than 15 days prior to the payment due date, take no action
-
For all other conditions, notify Computer Services
-
-
EFT 14 also displays a list of "Expected Deposit Dates Not Sent to Bank" ; for related instructions:
See IRM 5.19.10.9.6, EFT 14 Listing - CSCO Processing
-
The CSCO liaison requests this listing if they are aware of any financial institution (FI) closure within the campus jurisdiction; the Computer Branch only generates the listing on as needed basis, this listing must be processed within 10 days of receipt.
-
EFT 19 lists all ABA/Transit Numbers on the EFT database. The listing also includes account information sorted by ABA/Transit Number in ascending order, including:
-
The edited TIN
-
The Taxpayer name
-
A payment date, if applicable
-
-
When reviewing the EFT 19, if a taxpayer’s DDIA appears for the ABA/Transit Number of the FI having closed, take the following actions:
-
Stop the current payment on the EFT File using CC EFTOF.
-
Revise the installment agreement as a regular installment agreement and stop future DDIA payments by turning off the EFT Indicator.
Reminder:
Change the ALN from "03XX" to an appropriate ALN
-
Send a letter to the taxpayer, with Form 433-D, Installment Agreement, advising them we established an installment agreement and reminder notices are sent monthly. In the unlikely event the reminder is not sent, a payment must still be made prior to the scheduled dated.
Reminder:
Request the taxpayer complete the enclosed Form 433-D to establish a new DDIA if they still wish to have a DDIA.
-
-
You may request the Computer Branch generate this report if research is required for accounts dropping off IDRS; use EFT 20 to create a hard copy transcript of all EFT activity occurring on an account, this listing must be processed within 10 days of receipt.
-
EFT 20 retains the data on an account for up to six (6) months after no longer in DDIA status; after six months, the account is retired to the EFT 14 listing, which is manually researched by CSCO.
Reminder:
Use of the EFT 20 is rare and usually needed if the correspondent bank requests the Trace Number of a prenote or payment request; the Trace Number is not displayed on IDRS.
-
This listing allows CSCO to verify the information on the EFT file corresponds with the installment agreement file on IDRS. The listing is created semi-annually, in April and October and must be processed within 30 days of receipt.
Note:
The DDIA liaison notifies the Computer Branch to run the EFT 2811 Listing in April and October.
-
The listing includes a summary of accounts in the following categories:
-
The status on the EFT file does not agree with corresponding status on the TIF.
-
An active account on the TIF is not on EFT file.
-
The taxpayer is on EFT file, but not on the TIF.
-
-
When the status on EFT file differs with TIF data, this indicates the installment agreement displayed on CC EFTAD does not agree with the EFT Indicator displayed on IADIS. Check the ALN displayed on IADIS; it is not necessary to also check EFTAD for this, and:
If... And... Then... The account is an active DDIA, not full paid or defaulted Intentionally left blank Ensure the EFT Indicator is "[1]" ; if not, make the necessary change The account is an inactive DDIA, full paid or defaulted The EFT Indicator is "[0]" or "[2] " Take no action The account is an inactive DDIA, full paid or defaulted The EFT Indicator is "[1]" Change the EFT Indicator to "[0]" -
If the ALN indicates the account is no longer a DDIA, ensure the EFT Indicator is "[0]" . Send Letter 1962C, Installment Agreement Reply to Taxpayer, informing the taxpayer:
-
We accepted and processed their agreement.
-
To send the first payment if the automatic withdrawal is delayed more than five cycles and explain the reason for the delay.
-
Of the return address if CP 521 or CP 523 is not received and/or the payment address if mailing their payment with a CP 521 or CP 523, using the CSCO campus having jurisdiction.
-
-
When an active account is on the TIF, but not on the EFT file, this indicates the account is on IDRS, the EFT indicator is ON, but there is no bank data available on the account.
-
Check the ALN
-
Change the EFT indicator to "[0]" if the ALN shows the account is not a DDIA
-
-
If the ALN shows that this should be a DDIA:
-
Pull the Form 433-D, Installment Agreement, and verify that the agreement is a DDIA.
-
Input the bank account information using CC IAGRE and EFTNT.
-
Revise the first payment cycle if necessary.
Note:
If a Form 433-D, Installment Agreement, cannot be found, contact the taxpayer to verify information.
-
-
If the agreement is not a DDIA or the file indicates it should no longer be a DDIA, change the EFT indicator to "[0]" .
-
When the taxpayer is listed on the EFT File, but is not on the TIF, this indicates the account is on the EFT File but not on IDRS. Check the installment status on EFTAD.
-
If the status is "[D]" , take no action. The account drops off six months from the last EFT update.
-
If any status other than "[D]" displays, notify the appropriate point of contact in Headquarters Information Technology(IT).
-
This subsection provides instructions for purging, or pulling and disposing of documents. for DDIA files.
-
There are two type of purges:
-
Weekly Purge: Accounts identified on the Installment Agreement Accounts List (IAAL)
-
Yearly Purge: All accounts in the installment agreement file
-
-
Purge the installment agreement file every twelve months, using one of the following methods:
-
Pull all cases simultaneously
-
Pull cases by alpha throughout the year. Pull one alpha file every two weeks
-
-
Verify the status of each case on IDRS and dispose of the documents as follows:
If the case is... Then... An open DDIA in any Status 6X Refile the document Not in Status 6X, but has a balance due Destroy the document Closed (Status 12) Destroy the document
-
This subsection provides procedures for working accounts appearing on the Installment Agreement Accounts List (IAAL). Each week, the CSCO Operation receives an IAAL which contains installment agreements with changes on a status 60 account.
-
Work the IAAL upon receipt based on the Installment Agreement Priority Listing; for additional information:
See Exhibit 5.19.10-4, IAAL Prioritization List
-
Complete ALL actions within established time frames based on tier assignment of each category.
Exception:
The above guidelines exclude the MFT 31 category: see IRM 5.19.10.10.14, MFT 31 Category on the IAAL.
-
Annotate each account on the IAAL. Documentation on AMS should indicate IAAL processing and actions taken on accounts.
Example:
IAAL: Reinstated, Defaulted, etc.
-
Review the history items on IDRS using CC ENMOD and/or AMS for all multiple-condition cases.
-
Cases with Agreement Locator Number (ALN) "12XX" are field or ACS multiple-condition cases.
-
Cases with Agreement Locator Number (ALN) "92XX" are campus multiple-condition cases.
-
When working a case with a multiple condition ALN, research AMS/ENMOD to find the conditions not represented in the ALN and address both conditions.
Example:
XREF IA, "XX63" , with a backup-53, "XX53" , use ALN "9263" and a history instructing to CNC the account in case of default.
-
Reinstate an Installment Agreement using CC IAGRE; for managerial approval requirements: see IRM 5.19.1.5.5.7, Installment Agreement Managerial Approval.
-
Research for any outstanding delinquent returns; for additional information: see IRM 5.19.1.3.4.1, Full Compliance Check.
-
Re-input cross-reference TINs (SSN or EIN) if included in the Installment Agreement. Do not charge any additional user fee, including original or reinstatement, on these accounts.
-
Re-input a three-year review date on IMF only, BMF Trust Fund. see IRM 5.14.11.5, Considerations after Default or Termination, Including Reinstatement.
-
Re-input the EFT indicator on Direct Debit Installment Agreements (DDIA); for additional information: see IRM 5.19.1.10, DDIA Monitoring Procedures - CSCO Processing.
-
Update the ALN as appropriate.
Example:
The ALN is "0136" and CSCO reinstates the agreement; update the ALN to "9036"
-
Update the appropriate User Fee code; for additional information see:
IRM 5.19.1-12, Installment Agreement Originator Codes.
-
All accounts reaching full-paid, Status 12, during the week displayed on the weekly IAAL, process these accounts as follows.
-
No action is required on Full Paid accounts with the following exceptions:
-
XX27: Restricted Penalty and Interest Accounts
-
XX08: Continuous Wage Levy
-
11XX: Payroll Deduction Agreement
-
XX32: Anticipated Debit Module
-
12XX: Multiple Conditions
-
91XX: Payroll Deduction Agreement
-
XX12: PPIA with all CSEDs expired
-
92XX: Multiple Conditions
-
-
Installment Agreements under the Restricted Interest and Penalty Category on the IAAL, include modules that contain restricted interest and/or FTP penalty, which must be assessed and collected. Each restricted module appears on the IAAL when updated to Status 12.
-
Research IDRS to determine which tax period(s) caused the account to appear on the IAAL. The tax period(s) to be addressed will have a FTP penalty freeze and/or interest freeze, with or without a B- freeze. See Doc 6209 section 8.4 for the B- freeze. Determine if accruals were assessed and collected:
If... Then... There are modules where accruals were not assessed and collected, and they are more than six months from the CSED -
Research the account following the above procedures in paragraph 2.
-
Recompute the interest or FTP using DMI, or CC COMPA/COMPAD allowing for all applicable waivers, suspensions and rate changes, to the current 23C date. See IRM 20.1 and IRM 20.2 for more detailed instructions.
-
Assess accruals or correct the penalty or interest using CC ADJ54 in blocking 05 (unless you ordered the document from files.) Do not create a balance due on your tax period of less than ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ as described in IRM 21.3.1.4.51.2, Adjusting CP 86 Accounts.
-
If the available credit is more than the additional amount due, assess only the additional amount and let the remainder refund or offset.
-
Reinstate the agreement using CC IAGRE. Revise the installment agreement locator number to XX32. Change the assessment indicator to "1" , allowing the new assessment to post without suspending the agreement.
Note:
Enter a history on AMS indicating the additional assessment amount and actions taken. If the response is IAPND, reinstate the agreement by using IADIS information.
-
Waive the user fee and annotate AMS with the reason if all applicable fees have been paid.
The only modules in which accruals were not assessed and collected are six months, or less, from the CSED No action is required if the balance is zero on that tax period. If there is a credit on the module, resolve the credit by assessing any penalty or interest due, up to the credit amount. If no additional penalty or interest is due, input a TC 290 .00. Accruals were assessed and collected on all modules No action is required -
-
It is imperative the wage levy is released immediately when the account becomes full paid. Whenever possible levy releases should be faxed to the employer to prevent collection of excess levy proceeds. See IRM 11.3.1.11, Facsimile Transmission of Tax Information, for guidelines.
-
Determine the levy source from the CC IADIS record. If not found, review the following for levy source data:
-
CC ENMOD history and CC LEVYE
-
Remittance Transaction Research (RTR) System to view payment documents
-
-
Process accounts with a continuous wage levy, Agreement Locator Number "XX08" as follows:
If... And... Then... The account is full paid, including accruals of penalty and interest -
The previous levy release shows on CC ENMOD
and -
No payments are being received
No action is required The account is full paid, including accruals of penalty and interest -
No levy release shows on CC ENMOD
OR -
Payments are still being received AND the levy source can be determined
-
Prepare a release of the levy on wages, Form 668-D, Release of Levy/Release of Property From Levy; for levy release procedures see IRM 5.19.4.4.10 (4)(c) Levy Release: General Information.
-
Fax Part 1 to the employer if the number is available, otherwise Mail Part 1 to the employer
-
Mail Part 2 to the taxpayer
-
File Part 3 in the six month file
The account is full paid, including accruals of penalty and interest No levy release is shown on CC ENMOD AND the levy source can NOT be determined -
Attempt to contact the taxpayer to identify the levy source and the number to fax the release to, otherwise send Letter 2571C to the taxpayer authorizing the release of the continuous wage levy.
-
Advise the taxpayer to give their employer a copy of the letter if unable to fax.
The account is NOT full paid, including accruals of penalty and interest Restricted interest and/or penalty was not assessed Follow applicable guidance: see IRM 5.19.1.3.3, Determine Correct Tax Liability. -
-
If the cross-reference account is in Status 63, update the Installment Agreement to Status 60. Do not charge any additional user fee, for original or reinstatement, on Status 63 accounts. Keep the same user fee on the cross-reference agreement.
-
Update the ALN
Example:
"9063" becomes "9036" if streamlined.
-
If the cross-reference TIN is full paid, take no action.
-
Review history items on ENMOD or AMS. If the agreement was a PPIA, history item, "PPIA/xref" should display. When setting up the cross-referenced TIN on a PPIA:
-
Use the appropriate ALN; for additional information
See IRM 5.19.1-10, Installment Agreement Locator Numbers. -
Use a PPIA indicator of "2" .
-
Use a Review Suppress Indicator (RSI) of "5" for IMF and "6" for BMF.
-
Use the review cycle shown on the original TIN
Exception:
If the only remaining modules all contain a CSED expiring sooner than the original review cycle, use an RSI of "6" and a review cycle coinciding with the date the CSED expires. The case generates on the IAAL so a letter may be sent informing the taxpayer payments are not required.
-
-
Notify the employer to discontinue payments if the payroll deduction agreement is full paid early because of a credit offset, or similar condition. Use Letter 2571C, To Employer: Discontinue/Adjust Payroll Deduction.
-
Send Letter 2571C, To Employer: Discontinue/Adjust Payroll Deduction, to the employer if accruals are assessed on a restricted penalty and/or interest module in addition to the letter sent to the taxpayer regarding the assessment.
Note:
Letter 3230C and Letter 3230SP, Third Party Contact, are not required on Full Paid accounts.
-
Process these accounts per established guidelines: see IRM 5.19.10.10.3.4, Anticipated Debits on the IAAL.
-
When the CSED expires on the final module of a PPIA, the account is listed on the IAAL in the full paid category; work these accounts as follows.
-
Review the account to confirm the CSED is expiring on the final module of the PPIA. Send Letter 3127C, informing the taxpayer the CSED is about to expire, and they are not required to make payments, but they may make voluntary payments.
-
It is possible a PPIA can be full paid due to unanticipated payment or offset; no action is necessary on these cases.
-
When certain changes occur on an account in Status 60, the agreement suspends. The account updates to Status 61 and appears in the "Suspended" category on the IAAL. If required action is not taken on accounts in the suspended category, the account reappears every four weeks on the IAAL in the "Status 61 over 4 Weeks" category.
-
Taxpayers do not receive reminder notices while their accounts are in Status 61. It is extremely important to work these cases as quickly as possible see
See.Exhibit 5.19.10-4, IAAL Prioritization List.
-
Pending Installment Agreements appear on the IAAL for two reasons:
-
The pre-assessed module(s) was/were not the actual balance due posted and the monthly payment or balance does not meet streamlined criteria.
-
The return or proposed assessment does not post after 16 cycles (EXPRE).
-
-
To input corrections or suspend a PreIA, you usually nullify the IA using CC IADFL, suppress the default notice, and reinstate the IA or extend the PreIA for an additional 16 cycles:
-
To revise a PreIA to include an assessed module(s), first nullify the IA and suppress the default notice, using Review Action "3" , and reinstate it, using Review Action "1" .
-
To extend a PreIA, use Review Action "2" .
-
-
Take the following actions:
If... Then... The payment amount is less than the 1/72 criteria (Pre-Bal) -
If the payment is not the same as the original agreement or the taxpayer does not propose a new monthly payment, determine the payment amount to meet the 1/72 criteria
-
Send Letter 2273C, Installment Agreement Accepted - Terms Explained, advising the taxpayer of the revised payment amount and to call or write if the taxpayer agrees with the new monthly payment amount and;
-

-
There are several different reasons an account suspends. The next proper action depends primarily on the reason the account suspended. CC IADIS indicates the reason for the suspension:
-
The assessment indicator only pulls in a new assessment if it posts within ten cycles from the cycle the assessment indicator was turned on.
-
Accruals only assessments, TC 276 and TC 196, do not appear on the IAAL Suspended Category.
-
If reinstating the IA, to allow an additional future assessment be included in the agreement, input the assessment indicator on the installment agreement.
-
-
A new module, or "New Mod" , is the most common reason for an account to suspend:
If... Then... The new module is fully paid Reinstate the Installment Agreement The IA is fully paid, everything except the new mod Input CC STAUP on the new module, moving it from suspended status into the notice stream as follows:
STAUP 56 01 (IMF)
STAUP 58 01 (BMF)All others Take the appropriate action depending on if working an IA, extension or CTWL in the IRM subsections to follow
-
Research IDRS using CC SUMRY and CC TXMOD to determine which debit posted. All modules are in Status 61 including the new assessment.
Note:
There are IMF modules on the IAAL that default and have an aggregate unpaid balance of assessment of $100,000-$999,999. Allow these cases to default. Do not follow the procedures in IRM 5.19.1.5.5.4, Account Statuses Affecting Installment Agreements. Put comments on AMS "Exceeds Campus Authority" . This should allow the account to send the taxpayer a CP 523.
-
If a DDIA, EFT command codes are used to update the Installment Agreement. Only SB/SE and WI CSCO Operation(s) assigned to work DDIA agreements may input and revise DDIAs.
-
Prior to reinstating the agreement you must check the CSED to determine if the module(s) will full pay before the existing CSED expires; for additional information see IRM 25.6.1.12, Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED).
-
Reinstate the agreement using CC IAGRE if the new debt is paid or any of the conditions in the list below are met:
-
Has a history on ENMOD, TXMOD or AMS that the new debit should be included but the ALN is not "XX32"
-
Is for the tax period during which the Installment Agreement was established and the account balance is less than ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡
-
Requires no more than two additional monthly payments
-
Results from penalties and interest, and/or assessments of tax for periods covered by the agreement. If the new debit brings the total balance due at or above ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ , managerial approval is required.
-
Is for ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ or less
-
-
If you determine that the taxpayer has an unfiled return(s), DO NOT default the IA if conditions meet one of the criteria above. Because an IA has already been granted to the taxpayer we cannot now default the IA for an unfiled return.
-
Default the agreement if the account does not meet conditions outlined above; use CC IADFL with default category "NEW MOD"
-
Reinstate the agreement using CC IAGRE if the debit was anticipated or the Agreement Locator Number (ALN) is "XX32" . Waive the user fee and enter a history on ENMOD of, "Fee Waived" and annotate the reason on AMS.

Accounts displaying on the IAAL in Litigation must be reviewed on IDRS. Accounts are on the IAAL due to a pending TC 520, usually with a Bankruptcy Closing Code. If due to a TC 520 with a Litigation Closing Code, no action is necessary.
-
Bankruptcy modules are identified with TC 520 closing codes 81, 83, 60 through 67, or 85 through 89. Only closing codes 81, 60, 62, 64 and 66 allow post-petition tax years to remain in Status 60 or progress to collection status if IA is default.
-
For any module already in Status 72, or in Status 60 with a pending TC 520 and a bankruptcy closing code, take no action.

If a TC 914 appears on the IAAL, forward the account to the campus Revenue Officer for contact with Criminal Investigation to determine if:
-
The Installment Agreement should continue
-
Status 91 should be input
Note:
If your campus does not have an in-house Revenue Officer, forward to the Criminal Investigation function.
-
-
Take no action on accounts transferred:
-
In accordance with current procedures: in IRM 5.19.1.3.1, Account Actions on Referral/Redirects.
or -
When the case defaulted and the account was transferred
-
-
Accounts appearing on the IAAL under the following titles are accounts where the Collection Location Code (CLC) is being changed with a Doc Code 50:
-
"PAYROLLDIA TRANSFER"
-
"WAGE LEVY TRANSFER"
-
"CNC TRANSFER"
-
-
Review the history on CC IADIS for the following:
" xferxx xx"
Note:
The first "xx" indicates the site the account came from; the second "xx" indicates the gaining site.
Example:
"XFER29 49 "
-
Locate the paper file related to these types of agreements and mail them via Form 3210, Document Transmittal, to the gaining site. Indicate on Form 3210, "Account Transferred" Re-input the IA at your site.
Note:
Once paper files are eliminated Wage Levy due to inputting the name, address and phone number of the employer on IAGRE, this category eliminated.
-
A lien determination is required to reinstate cases with a balance due above ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ if the agreement does not meet streamlined criteria.
-
See IRM 5.19.4.5.1(1). If this information is present on the account being researched, follow procedures in (3) below in filing a lien. If no written warning of lien filing is present, do nothing on the account.
-
If the ALN is "XX66" , File Lien in Event of Default, prepare Form 12636, Request for Terminal Action, and submit to the appropriate site per the Automated Lien System (ALS) Unit Listing on SERP, "Who/Where" . Fax Form 12636 according to the state in which the taxpayer resides per the listing. The originator already determined a lien must be filed if the Installment Agreement defaults and the taxpayer was informed of this action.
-
The "DDIA IN NEWCTR" requires the DDIA be reinput at the new campus. Pull the DDIA file and forward to the new campus using Form 3210, Document Transmittal. Indicate on Form 3210, "Attn: DDIA Liaison" , and, "Account Transferred, DDIA needs to be re-input at your site" . For the mailing address of DDIA liaisons, see SERP, "Who/Where" information.
-
The User Fee is deducted from the payment in CP 521, Installment Agreement Reminder Notice, processing and applied to the User Fee module:
-
MFT 13: BMF
-
MFT 55: IMF
Note:
For definition: see IRM 5.19.1.5.5.5.1, User Fee Modules (MFT 13 and MFT 55)
-
-
IDRS generates a listing on the IAAL under two categories for all payments, regardless of status, where there is:
-
No Agreement
-
User Fee Code inconsistent
-
Duplicate Original Fee
-
Duplicate Revision Fee
-
Dishonored Checks
-
-
The "ORIGINATION FEE TRACKING" heading category includes only:
-
Origination paid discrepancies
-
Duplicate payment(s)
-
Dishonored checks
-
-
When the billing record shows the origination fee was paid, and a TC 694/DPC 50 or 49 posts in the current cycle, the account is listed under the origination tracking category.
-
The "REINSTATEMENT FEE TRACKING" heading category only includes:
-
Reinstatement paid discrepancies
-
Duplicate payment(s)
-
Dishonored checks
-
-
When the billing record shows the reinstatement fee was paid and a TC 694/DPC 51 posts in the current cycle, the account is listed under the reinstatement tracking category.
-
CSCO must determine what the billing record should reflect and if any other action is needed.
Note:
The billing record is defined as: IDRS — IADIS user fee codes 0-9.
-
This listing generates due to the MFT 13/55 reflecting a duplicate or possible "mismatch" of the TC 694.
-
Both origination and reinstatement fee tracking categories include dishonored checks. When a check is dishonored, identify the accounts by a reversed TC 694 with a TC 695 Doc Code 87. Accounting Operations also inputs TC 361; when these appear on the IAAL listing, the fee is set as "NOT Paid" . CSCO must review and/or reverse the correct code.
-
In both categories, including Dishonored Check information, research the account to determine if the user fee is a:
-
"true" duplicate
-
Discrepancy
-
Dishonored check
-
-
Based on this determination, take the appropriate action and update the fee
Example:
Transfer, abate, etc.
-
In most instances, MFT 13/55 does not display on IDRS; research these accounts using CC CFOL.
Caution:
When researching the account, a duplicate fee paid may actually be due and collected because of the account leaving status 6X and another Installment Agreement or reinstatement was established or initiated, creating a new Original or Reinstatement fee billing. For true duplicate fees collected see paragraph (15) below.
Example:
The taxpayer initiated an agreement creating an original user fee due, paid the fee of $105.00, and later defaulted, subsequently initiating a new agreement fee. In this scenario, both fees are due, but may reflect on the listing as a duplicate fee because of the duplicate TC 694; this example requires no transfer/abatement of the fee.
-
Discrepancies may result in the TC 694 with the incorrect DPC code of 49-51. The mismatches often occur because the IA was IAREV, or revised, in some way after the bill for the user fee went out and the time this fee payment comes in. Research IDRS or Master File to determine if the incorrect DPC code 49-51 should be revised on IDRS or the User Fee
Example:
A $105.00 origination fee was due; however, the incorrect DPC user fee reflects only a $45.00 fee collected; this example requires a correction of the additional $60.00 applied towards the user fee. Transfer, per paragraph (15) below.
Example:
The taxpayer only actually owes a reinstatement user fee of $45.00 and the incorrect fee of $105.00 was collected; therefore, creating a $60.00 overpayment. This example requires a correction of the overpaid portion of the fee, transfer per paragraph (17) below.
-
To update the user fee:
-
Initiate CC IAREV
-
The CC IAGRE displays CC IAREV if there is an Installment Agreement (Status 60)
-
To update the screen, input "0" in the "Review Account" field
-
Proceed to the "User Fee CD" field and update with the appropriate user fee code
Reminder:
Only update the user fee code on Status 60 accounts; for other status accounts, take no action on updating the user fee code. These accounts are updated if the agreement is re-input or reinstated with the appropriate user fee due.
-
-
To transfer or abate a user fee payment: see IRM 5.19.1.5.5.5.3, User Fee Payment Transfer/User Fee Abatements.
User Fee Payment Transfer/User Fee Abatement
Reminder:
When transferring or abating the fee, ensure to update the fee on Status 60 accounts per paragraphs (12) through (14) above.
-
If more than one duplicate user fee is deducted, it may be an indicator the taxpayer is submitting a copy of the original CP 521, Installment Agreement Reminder Notice, with subsequent installment payments:
-
Contact the taxpayer with instructions to avoid this condition occurring in the future.
-
If unable to reach the taxpayer by phone, send Letter 3127C, Revision to Installment Agreement, to explain the circumstances.
-
Create a history item on ENMOD and add the reason the duplicate fee is appropriate to AMS.
Example:
"dup-uf-ltr"
-
-

Installment Agreements are not transferred to MFT 31 modules when accounts are mirrored. The TINs generate on the IAAL for necessary action.
-
Four weeks after appearing on the IAAL, review the accounts and determine the status of the IA prior to the mirroring. If the account was mirrored due to Innocent Spouse activity, follow the chart below:
If... Then... The IA on the joint account defaulted and CP 523 , IMF Installment Agreement Default Notice, was issued Take no action The IA on the joint account would default; however, the mirroring of the account prevented the default Example:
MFT 30 200212 .00 status 12 MFT 30 200312 2,000.00 status 21
The MFT 30 200212 module was mirrored (MFT 31), but a new liability posted (MFT 30 200312).Reestablish the IA on the joint account, the balance due modules should now be MFT 31, and immediately default the agreement; this causes the CP 523, IMF Installment Agreement Default Notice, to generate Note:
If the joint account has an L- freeze, send Form 4442, Inquiry Referral, to Centralized Case Processing, and request they issue a default Letter 2975 to the taxpayer.
-
The IA was only for modules now mirrored
-
There is a balance due, now on MFT 31
-
No activity occurred resulting in the IA defaulting
Reestablish the IA on the account without an L- freeze (non-petitioning spouse) The IA is still active (Status 61) on non-mirrored module(s) in the joint account only Example:
MFT 30 200212 .00 status 12 MFT 30 200312 2,000.00 status 61 MFT 31 200212 1,200.00 status 21
-
Add the MFT 31 module to the existing IA
-
Suppress the restructuring user fee and allow the skip
-
-
In all cases where the IA is re-established, use the same terms present on the MFT 30 modules. Do not change the user fee code current on IAREV; if the current user fee code is:
-
"0" , it should remain as "0"
-
"5" , it should remain as "5"
-
-
In this scenario, allow the skip.
-
All accounts that were in installment agreement status prior to entering a combat zone and have now exited the combat zone will appear on the IAAL under this new category.
-
All combat zone participants (military and non-military) are entitled to a suspense period of 180 days from the date of departure from the combat zone in addition to the time they spent serving in the combat zone.
-
All collection action (e.g. notices, letters, telephone calls, liens, levies, installment agreements, etc.) will be stopped during this time period. In addition, all penalties and interest will be waived on any balance due accounts.
-
The start date of the suspense period begins the day following the transaction date of the TC 500, Closing Code XX (exit date).
-
The ending date of the suspense period is calculated from the transaction date of the TC 500 Closing Code XX (exit date) plus 180 days for Balance Due cases.
-
On return delinquencies for 2001 and subsequent period, the taxpayer will be given 180 days plus 105 (106 leap year) if the taxpayer was in the combat zone for the entire filing period from the transaction date of TC 500 closing code XX (exit date). See IRM 5.19.10.6.4, Combat Zone Computation of Suspense Period.
-
Assessment of penalties and interest will require manual computations of accruals for tax year (s) 2001, 2002 and/or 2003. These restrictions may also apply to subsequent tax periods, if the taxpayer is recalled to serve in the combat zone at a later date.
-
The combat zone period must be computed before accruals can be calculated. Use the combat zone entry date and exit date displayed on IMFOLE plus 180 days to compute the suspense period. The accrual of penalties and interest is suspended from the entry date to the exit date, plus 180 days.
-
Compute penalties and interest from the 23C date to the date of the TC 500 Closing Code XX (entry date). Then compute the penalties and interest from the TC 500 Closing Code XX (exit date) plus 180.
-
The account may require the addition of penalties erroneously abated by the computer. These accounts can be identified by the presence of a TC 277 and/or TC 167 in balance due modules assessed prior to entering the combat zone. The taxpayer is still liable for these penalties. Compute these penalties from the return due date to the entry date into the combat zone and update the account on IDRS using CC ADJ54.
-
-
Combat zone accounts previously in status 60 will be printed on the IAAL under the heading "Military Combat." It is important that these accounts are worked within two cycles to prevent them from automatically updating to status 20 and issuing the first balance due notice (CP 501, IMF 1st Notice - Balance Due). Use the following instructions for contacting the taxpayer regarding their prior agreement. For cases appearing on the IAAL under "Military Combat":
-
Send Letter 2702C, Combat Zone, informing the taxpayer that the prior installment agreement has been reinstated unless the taxpayer wishes to full pay the balance due or change the date of payment and/or the payment amounts. Letter 2702C, Combat Zone, must include the updated balance due amount and that full payment will be expected, if the terms of the agreement are not met. The updated balance due amount will require the manual computation of interest and penalties to allow for the suspended period.
-
Input a STAUP 56 for XX cycles (determine # of cycles remaining in suspense). The account will immediately update to status 48. Input the installment agreement using CC IADIS. Ensure that the automatic skip indicator is set to allow the taxpayer to miss one payment before the account is defaulted for non-payment.
Note:
No reinstatement user fee will be charged.
-
IDRS balance due processing identifies certain restrictive conditions which prohibits issuance of balance due notice and TDA. The module will not update to the next status. It will be analyzed in the next processing cycle for issuance of the appropriate status. The following table lists restrictive conditions.

Use when the transaction date does not extend past the calendar year:
| STEP | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Identify the assessment on the tax module. (TC 150, Return Posted, TC 290 or TC 300, additional assessments etc.) |
| 2 | Take the date of the assessment (TC 150, TC 290, TC 300) and add 10 years. This is the original CSED date of that assessment. For example: If a taxpayer’s return posted (TC 150) on 04-15-2005, the original CSED is 04-15-2015. |
| 3 | Take the original CSED and exchange the date of 04-15-2015 with the corresponding Julian Date using Document 5657 or the Julian Date Calendar. For example: 04-15-2015 Julian date is 105. (2015 is not a leap year). |
| 4 | Review the tax module to identify any transactions that suspend the CSED. (TC 480, TC 780, TC 520, TC 521 etc.) Take the date of the beginning TC such as TC 480 or TC 520, and exchange the date for the corresponding Julian date using Document 5657 or Julian Date Calendar. For example if TC 480 is on the account with a date of 05-01-2005, the Julian date is 121. |
| 5 | Take the closing transaction or the transaction that ends the CSED extension, such as TC 780 or TC 521, and exchange the date for the corresponding Julian date. If TC 780 is dated 06-30-2005 the Julian date is 181. |
| 6 | Then take the larger Julian date and subtract the smaller Julian Date. In the above example, 181-121=60, The CSED is extended 60 days. |
| 7 | Add the result in step 6 to the Julian date of the original CSED. (105 and add 60 days) 105+60=165. Find the date corresponding to Julian date (165). It is June 14. |
| The new CSED for the module in this example is 06-14-2015. |
Use when the transaction date extends past the calendar year:
| STEP | ACTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Review the module and find the assessment (TC 150, TC 290 or TC 300). |
| 2 | Take the assessment date and add 10 years, this is the Original CSED date. Example 04-15-2005 + 10 years= 4-15-2015. |
| 3 | Exchange the original CSED date of 04-15-2015 with the corresponding Julian date of 04-15-2015 using Document 5657 or the Julian Date Calendar. The corresponding Julian date of 04-15- 2015 is 105 (2015 is not a leap year). |
| 4 | Review the tax module to identify any transactions that suspend the CSED. (TC 480, TC 780, TC 520, TC 521 etc.) Take the date of the beginning TC, such as TC 480 or TC 520, and exchange the date for the corresponding Julian date of that day using Document 5657 or Julian Date Calendar. For example, if a TC 480 is on the account with a date of 11-01-2005, the Julian date is 305. |
| 5 | If the closing transaction date is in the following year, (Example: TC 780 is 02-01-2006), take the ending Julian date for year 2005 (2005 is not a leap year, so the Julian date would be 365) subtract the Julian date from the opening TC 480. (365-305=60). From 11-01- 2005 to 12-31-2005 the CSED was extended 60 days. Then find the corresponding Julian date of the TC 780 in 2006 (not a leap year) and add to the 60 days. The Julian date of 01-02-2006 is 32; add 60+32=92. The CSED will be extended for a total of 92 days. |
| 6 | Take the Julian date of the Original CSED (105) and add the amount of CSED extension (92 days). 105+92=197. |
| 7 | Find the date corresponding to the Julian date (197). It is 07-16- 2015. |
| The CSED for the module in this example is 07-16-2015. |
See IRM 5.19.10.4.2, Transaction Codes and Case Actions that Suspend or Extend the Collection Statute Expiration Date for situations that extend the CSED.

A 1990 Form 1040 tax module contains the following CSED related transactions:
| Transaction Code | Date | Computation | CSED | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | 05/20/1991 | Add 10 years to the TC 150 date | 05/20/2001 (Julian 140) |
|
| 520 cc 81 | 01/25/1993 (Julian 25) | Julian 238 minus Julian 25 + 1 = 214 days. Add 214 days to the CSED dated 05/20/2001 CSED is 12/20/2001 plus 6 months | 06/20/2002 | |
| 521 cc 81 | 08/26/1993 (Julian 238) | |||
| 480 | 04/13/1998 | The Offer was pending and accepted prior to 01/01/2000. The CSED cannot be extended beyond 12/31/2002 or the original CSED date, whichever is later. | 12/31/2002 | |
| 780 | 08/23/1998 | |||
TC 150 dated 05/30/1991 (Julian date 047) plus 10 years is 05/20/2001.
The Julian date for TC 520 cc 81 AND TC 520 cc 85 dated 03/26/2003 is 085.
The Julian date for TC 521, BKSI 999 dated 07/09/2003 is 190. BKSI 999 reverses both the TC 520 cc 81 and the TC 520 cc 85.
Subtract Julian date 085 (03/26/2003) from Julian date 190 (07/09/2003) and add 1. This equals 106 days.
Add 106 days to the 10 year CSED date of 02/16/2008 (Julian date 047. This equals Julian 153 or 06/01/2008.
For bankruptcy, 6 months is added. The CSED is 06/01/2008 plus 6 months or 12/01/2008.
The Julian date for TC 480 dated 10/13/2003 is 286.
The Julian date for TC 780 dated 03/04/2004 is 064.
The Offer extension period carries over into the next year. To figure the number of days, subtract Julian 286 (10/13/2003) from Julian 365 and add the result to Julian 064 (03/04/2004). This equals 143 days.
Add 143 days to 12/01/2008 (Julian 336). Subtract Julian 335 from Julian 365. This is 30 days. The CSED is extended for 30 days in 2008 and 113 days in 2009 minus 1 day or 04/22/2009.
