Program Scope and Objectives

  1. This IRM section provides the instructions for the Audit Information Management System (AIMS) command code AMAXU. AMAXU is a correction command code used to change, delete, or input various fields on the TIF record. While some fields may be corrected while the tax module is in inventory, AMAXU is primarily used to correct fields after the case has been closed. AMAXUA, E, and O will generate TC 971 (21) , TC 972 (21) and TC 560 (25) records to BMF when Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) adjustments are made to the tax module.

  2. Purpose: This transmits revised IRM 2.8.6, Audit Information Management System (AIMS), AIMS Command Code AMAXU.

  3. Audience: The audience for this IRM section are users of the Audit Information Management System (AIMS).

  4. Policy Owner: Information Technology, Chief Information Officer.

  5. Program Owner: Information Technology, Applications Development, Compliance, Business Compliance Management System Branch AIMS Related Section.

  6. Primary Stakeholders: IDRS users from Appeals, LB&I, SB/SE, TE/GE and W&I

  7. Program Goals: To provide explicit instructions for the use of command code AMAXU in entering and requesting data.

Background

  1. As a result of a study, it was concluded that Examination had a need for a new information management system. The study group recommended a terminal assisted Audit Information Management System (AIMS). A stand alone direct access terminal system was considered along with the enhancement of IDRS. Enhancement of IDRS was determined to be clearly the best choice for the Service.

  2. This new system satisfied Examination Division's current needs for accurate and timely inventory controls, better control of assessments and up-to-date management reports. The system traces examination results through final determination of tax liability including Appeals and Tax Court.

  3. After the successful implementation of AIMS for the Examination Division, control of returns in Appeals was added to AIMS. As of January 1, 1977 control of Exempt Organization returns was added and on October 1, 1977 control of Employee Plan returns was added.

Authority

  1. During the summer of 1973, the Deputy Commissioner established a Task Force to identify ADP requirements of Compliance functions, and to make appropriate recommendations to satisfy their needs.

Responsibility

  1. Headquarters AIMS Related Section is responsible for maintaining procedures related to AIMS programming.

Program Management and Review

  1. Command Code AMAXU is managed by Work Requests which are submitted for changes and also by tickets which are submitted by users for corrections.

Program Controls

  1. IRS implements access control measures that provide protection from unauthorized alteration, loss, unavailability, or disclosure of information.

  2. SACS controls all the IDRS user accesses and permissions.

Command Code AMAXU

Abstracts - Special Processing

Item 404 consist of the Abstract Code, Disposal Code, Abstract Hours, Abstract Results and Abstract Claim Time all refer to one particular Abstract. There may be several of these groups on one record and each group will have a unique Abstract code. The entire Abstract (item 404) has to be present before CC AMAXU can make a change. If a match cannot be made between the Abstract input and a similar Abstract on the AIMS (for the TIN, MFT, Tax Period entered) then the system will assume that the Abstract input is new and it will be added to the record. If a match is made between the Abstract Code input and a similar abstract code on the TIF (for TIN, Tax Period entered) then the systems will change the Disposal Code, Abstract Hours, Abstract Results and Abstract Claim Time following the abstract referenced. If an incorrect Abstract (item 404) was entered it can be deleted by inputting the Abstract in 404 immediately followed by a "D" in item #409.
