These returns/documents must be sorted separately. 21.1.7.1.7 (05-12-2017) Related Resources Refer to IRM 1.4.2.1.8, Related Resources, for information on related resources that impact internal controls. 21.1.7.2 (03-05-2024) General This manual provides instructions for: Receiving mail Extracting, sorting, and handling of mail Date stamping of returns and documents where applicable Overstamping of remittance where applicable Disposition of returns and all other mail received Preparation of Form 3210, Document Transmittal Processing the receipt of payments Processing cash Researching payments Preparing payment voucher Transshipping Classification of mail Routing source document folders Shipping refiles Processing outgoing correspondence Processing payments via Paper Check Conversion (PCC) Processing payments via Remittance Strategy for Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) Payments not processed through RS-PCC or PCC and related documents, such as tax returns, must be prepared for shipment to the appropriate submission processing campus, by close of business on the date of receipt from the taxpayer or as soon as possible the next business day. For the processing of payments, mail, and adherence to internal controls, reference the following Internal Revenue Manuals (IRMs) or documents: IRM 1.4.6, Managers Security Handbook IRM 1.14.5, Occupational Health and Safety Program IRM 1.22.3, Addressing and Packaging IRM 1.22.5, Mail Operations IRM 1.22.8, Mailing and Shipping Equipment IRM 3.0.167, Losses and Shortages IRM 3.5.61, Files Management and Services IRM 3.8.44, Campus Deposit Activity IRM 3.8.45, Manual Deposit Process IRM 3.8.46, Discovered Remittance IRM 3.8.47, Manual Deposit for Field Office Payment Processing IRM 3.10.72, Receiving, Extracting, and Sorting IRM 3.13.62, Media Transport and Control IRM 3.17.278, Paper Check Conversion (PCC) and Remittance Strategy Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) Systems IRM 3.30.123, Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria, and Critical Dates IRM 10.2.1, Physical Security IRM 10.2.5, Identification Media IRM 10.2.11, Basic Security Concepts IRM 10.2.12, Security Guard and Explosive Detector Dog Services and Programs IRM 10.2.14, Methods of Providing Protection IRM 10.2.15, Minimum Protection Standards IRM 10.5.1, Privacy and Information Protection, Privacy Policy IRM 10.5.4, Incident Management Program IRM 10.8.34, IDRS Security Controls IRM 11.3.36, Safeguards Review Program IRM 25.6.1, Statute of Limitations Processes and Procedures Document 6209, IRS Processing Codes and Information Document 12990, Records and Information Management Records Control Schedules For Transshipping instructions see IRM 3.10.72.11, Transshipment Guidelines. Complete information for scanning to the Correspondence Imaging Inventory (CII), including specific "how to" instructions with illustrations, is in IRM 3.13.6, Submission Processing Image Control Team (ICT) Correspondence Scanning. IRM 11.3.1, Introduction to Disclosure, must be consulted when disclosure issues are in question. Example: Opening and routing mail is a disclosure of taxpayer data, but is permissible and necessary since that is a requirement to perform your job. However, discussing tax information about a specific taxpayer with others, who do not have a need to know, is a violation. If an employee becomes aware of any such disclosure, they must report that person to TIGTA. Note: If IRS initiated correspondence is mailed back to the IRS with a note or any indication that someone other than the taxpayer opened this mail piece or there was another taxpayer's notice included in that envelope (i.e., had access to another taxpayer's return data, TIN, etc.), this an inadvertent disclosure. Give it to your manager. The manager reports the inadvertent disclosure using the following link: Erroneous Correspondence Procedures. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR) adopted by the IRS in June of 2014, provides that taxpayers have the right to receive prompt, courteous and professional assistance in their dealings with the IRS. For additional information see Taxpayer Bill of Rights, on IRS.gov. 21.1.7.3 (05-20-2020) Managerial Review IRM 10.2.11, Basic Security Concepts, IRM 1.4.6, Managers Security Handbook, and IRM 10.2.1, Physical Security, are the prevailing manuals concerning security measures necessary for date stamps, payee name stamps (for negotiating checks), government check stamps and other stamp devices. Each manual must be consulted to determine the level and type of security required. Give particular attention to the requirements to limit (one specific individual) and protect against unauthorized use of all stamp devices. Serial numbers, where available, must be associated with the specified user(s). The following items are strictly prohibited from Campus Support. There are some exceptions if related to a medical condition or a religious practice: Lunch bags/Lunch boxes Boxes Purses Backpacks Briefcases Sports bags Hats Shopping bags Shoulder totes Fanny packs CD or Tape cases Books Newspapers, magazines, and Similar type items Note: Employees can keep personal items at their desks, eat at their desks (if a past practice has been established), and transport small items not carried on their person in and out of the secured/restricted area of Campus Support, as long as such items are displayed in clear plastic bags. Note: Management at the Campus Support Sites may restrict other items as needed. The use of the camera function on a camera capable cell phone /tablet is prohibited without FMSS approval. In any case, all IRS employees must take personal responsibility to ensure that no photographs of National Classified Information (NCI) Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU), taxpayer data, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or other sensitive information are taken. In addition, personally owned equipment must not be connected to IRS systems and networks, directly or via Virtual Private Network (VPN). Additional information can be found in IRM 10.8.1, Policy and Guidance. Managers in Campus Support areas must ensure visitors are only permitted to carry articles into the restricted area, which are necessary to conduct their business while working in the area. (i.e., portfolios, notepads, repair kits or manuals, binders, paper documentation, etc.). Inspections of these items are not necessary upon entering the area. However, advise visitors that a member of management screens these items prior to exiting the restricted area to reduce opportunities of unauthorized disclosure, theft of taxpayer information or theft of remittances. If the door monitor observes a visitor with an item that is prohibited from the restricted area, they must notify their manager. Managers must approach the visitor to discuss the policy of prohibited articles and determine whether the item is necessary for conducting business in the restricted area. First line managers or designated representatives must conduct a monthly random review of each employee’s compliance with all security policies as they relate to personal belongings in the secured/restricted area of Campus Support. Each first line manager must maintain a Remittance Processing Security Review Log documenting the review. Management must maintain documentation that includes the date, unit number, employee name, description of items found and reviewer's initials. Note: If there is a medical or religious exception to any of the items listed in (2) above, notate that in the "Comments" section (e.g., "allowed to wear hijab/burqa/kippah/yarmulke" , "needs medical supplies in ice pack bag" , etc.). During unprecedented times face masks are permitted when there are health risks involved. 21.1.7.4 (10-21-2020) Privacy and Security Responsibilities Managers must communicate security standards contained in IRM 10.2.11, Basic Security Concepts, and IRM 10.2.14, Methods of Providing Protection, to their employees at least once a year. All employees and managers of the IRS and Treasury are accountable for remittances under their control, including security. The Deposit Manager must ensure adherence to all security standards and internal controls in IRM 10.2.15, Minimum Protection Standards, IRM 10.2.11, Basic Security Concepts, IRM 11.3.36, Safeguard Review Program, IRM 10.2.14, Methods of Providing Protection, IRM 10.5.1, Privacy and Information Protection, Privacy Policy, and this manual. Provide adequate security equipment and facilities to safeguard money, securities, shredding documents with SBU data (including PII and tax information), etc., handled in Campus Support. Managers must contact the appropriate FMSS Security Representative or the Campuses’ Security Function for additional advice or assistance on security matters. Refer to IRM 10.2.11, Basic Security Concepts. Money chests, vaults or cabinets affording adequate security are available in restricted areas of Campus Support. These receptacles must comply with requirements contained in IRM 10.2.14, Methods of Providing Protection and IRM 10.5.1.6.10, Disposition and Destruction. Provide clerks with a separate lockable money bag, cash box or compartment. Each container must have a separate key or combination. The clerk must lock the safe, vault, money chest or other receptacle, and the door of the clerk’s working area or facility provided to store funds or other valuables prior to leaving the working area unattended. Refer to IRM 10.2.14, Methods of Providing Protection. Place the combination and/or duplicate key to lock money chests, vaults, cabinets, moneybags, cash boxes or compartments, in which funds are held, in a sealed envelope for use in the event of an emergency. Protect the envelope containing the combination and/or duplicate key following the same protection required for containers. The procedures to follow are the same as for the Campus Field Office Remittance Processing Area. Refer to IRM 10.2.14, Methods of Providing Protection. Change the combination or locks on all containers immediately when one of the following conditions exists: Upon receipt of new lock Whenever there is a change in clerk When there is an unforeseen absence of the clerk When the combination is compromised in some other way In any event, change combinations at least once a year If it becomes necessary to open a clerk’s locked compartment in the absence of the clerk, select two responsible employees to use the duplicate key or combination. They must count the money and prepare a statement of the money and documents found. Both must sign and attach the statement to the receipt the clerk previously signed for the change fund. The monies and documents are then balanced. Safeguard cash remittances at all times. Keep cash in a locked container or deposit bag to await deposit pick-up after clerk’s balancing operation is completed. The key to that container is held by the clerk’s immediate manager or other designated employee. Cash conversions to cashier’s check or money order are permitted. Use this action in lieu of safeguarding instructions. The Mail Team manager, or designated employee, must conduct periodic unannounced reviews of the items on the Cash Receipt Records and Deposit Tickets. Monthly is suggested, no less than quarterly is mandated. Record the findings when reviews are completed. Maintain the records of completed reviews for a year at minimum and include whether an in-depth review is necessary. Only authorized employees may have access to cash vaults. Restrict all areas in which deposit operations take place in accordance with IRM 10.2.14, Methods of Providing Protection. Any person entering a restricted area must be given appropriate clearance from a responsible official based on satisfactory identification and an appropriate reason for entering. Managers and employees report any individual suspected of theft to the TIGTA Office of Investigations at 800-366-4484 immediately. Managers of areas receiving Discovered Remittances perform monthly reviews of Discovered Remittance Logs, Form 4287, Record of Discovered Remittances, and take appropriate action to eliminate or reduce mishandling of receipts. In general, managers are responsible for following: IRM 10.8.1, Policy and Guidance, when using (IRS) computer systems as part of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Special guidance for administering or using the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) is provided in, IRM 10.8.34, IDRS Security Controls, and IRM 10.8.1, Policy and Guidance. Use of the Automated Command Code Access Control System is required to ensure Form 809 book users’ IDRS profiles are restricted. Managers must activate or simultaneously contact the IDRS Unit Security Representative to activate command code RSTRK (Restrict) with Definer R. The command codes listed in IRM 10.8.34-10, Restricted Command Codes for the Role: 809 Receipt Book Users and Submission Processing employees that issue, verify, or reconcile blank Forms 809 (RSTRK Definer R), are restricted from the IDRS user profile. Managers must ensure that employees that process payments have restricted use of Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS). Employees without Form 809 responsibility are assigned RSTRK with definer U. The command codes listed in, IRM 10.8.34-11, Restricted Command Codes for the Role: Remittance Perfection Technicians Who Do Not Have Blank Form 809 Responsibilities (RSTRK Definer U), are restricted from the IDRS user profile. When reviewing Monthly IDRS Security Profile reports, the IDRS Online Reports Services (IORS) Primary Report Reviewer, Unit Security Representatives (USR), and/or the Front/First Line Manager must validate that all users who meet the criteria for a restricted profile have the appropriate restriction(s) placed against their profile; see IRM 10.8.34.6.2.1.6.8, Automated Command Code Access Control, for additional information on command codes restriction. The IRS requires internal control of tax receipts to ensure security during transit. Campus Support transships remittances through common carrier for processing. All senders of payments are required to use an overnight traceable method to transship payments. The use of a completed transmittal, such as Form 3210, Document Transmittal, listing package contents, is required. The name of the sender, return address (with stop number), and telephone number is required on all transmittals. The sender, who is accountable until the funds are received at the destination, must establish a control to ensure delivery of payments and follow up. The control must include amounts of taxpayer payment and the last four digits of Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) correlated to the package tracer information. For example, if the transit provider informs IRS that package number 12345-67-89 was destroyed; a control is needed that enables proper identification of impacted taxpayer(s) so that relief can be granted. The sender must follow-up within two business days to ensure delivery of the remittance package. Access the carrier's website, i.e., United Parcel Service or United States Postal Service, and trace the package. Follow up with the destination contact within 10 working days if necessary. Immediately report all lost remittance packages to the TIGTA Office of Investigations at 800-366-4484. Lost or stolen remittances must also be reported to the campus remittance security coordinator. Lost personally identifiable information (PII) must also be reported to the Office of Privacy, Government Liaison and Disclosure (PGLD) Incident Management Office (IM) using the PII Breach Reporting Form. Call 267-466-0777 if you have any problems with the online form or any questions about completing the online form. All IRS employees must take care to protect personally identifiable information (PII). Any loss of PII could result in information being compromised to commit identity theft. Encrypt PII on email. Sanitize taxpayer PII or use secure messaging. If you suspect or know of a potential information loss, report it to your manager, the TIGTA at 800-366-4484, and the Office of Privacy, Governmental Liaison and Disclosure (PGLD) Incident Management Office (IM) using the PII Breach Reporting Form. Call 267-466-0777 if you have any problems with the online form or any questions about completing the online form. See IRM 10.5.4.3.3, Inadvertent Unauthorized Disclosures and Losses or Thefts of IT Assets, BYOD Assets and Hardcopy Records/Documents, for detailed information. 21.1.7.4.1 (10-01-2014) Suspicious Packages and Reporting Physical Security Incidents IRS has established procedures to ensure that mail is handled safely. Mailroom employees and all IRS employees who handle mail must follow these procedures to ensure mail is handled in the safest way possible. Employees must open mail in designated mail opening areas and follow the procedures listed below. Note: All Areas must post contact information (name and work phone as well as 24/7 phone numbers) for FMSS, TIGTA, Situation Awareness Management Center (SAMC) and all other contacts, in multiple areas and by phones in the area. In most IRS campuses, you are unable to call 911 from an IRS phone. Follow the local procedure to call FMSS or the Security Console to call 911 for you. If night shift, weekend or holidays (e.g., not the "normal hours" of operation), then provide the "after hours" phone number on or near the phones in the work area. Some features of suspicious packages are listed below, but is not all-inclusive. If you have any suspicion about the safety of any package due to the physical appearance or the smell of a package, report it to your manager. Packages with soft spots, bulges or excessive weight Lopsided or uneven Wrapped in string Badly written or misspelled labels Distorted handwriting or cut-and-paste lettering Suspicious or threatening messages written on the package Excessive postage No postage Leaks, stains, powders or protruding materials (any smell of oil or gasoline, etc.) Ticking, vibration or other sound Protruding wires or aluminum foil Follow these procedures in the receipt and handling of suspect packages: Remain calm. Do not open the package or letter. Make a list of all persons who touched the letter or package and who were in the area if the letter or package was opened in case of contamination. This is also helpful when someone completes the Incident Report for Situation Awareness Management Center (SAMC). Do not shake or empty the contents of a suspicious package or envelope. Do not carry the package or envelope, show it to others or allow others to examine it. Do not move the package. Leave the package or envelope on a stable surface. Do not sniff, touch, taste or look closely at it or any contents that may have spilled. Do not touch your eyes, nose or other body parts. Isolate the package. If imminent danger, such as a bomb, call 911 yourself; otherwise, call your FMSS contact or the Security Console to call 911. Contact your FMSS. Have their name and work phone (as well as 24/7 phone number) posted in multiple areas and by phones in the Campus Support area. Contact TIGTA at 800-589-3718. Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water. If powder or any material got on your body, use scissors to cut your clothes off before showering. Do not pull any shirt over your head. Use the showers available in the area and change into clean clothing provided to you. Managers must advise employees to avoid the area and must direct employees to follow the evacuation plan provided by the local FMSS. Restrict the area to only authorized persons. Take the following steps: Immediately report the incident to a supervisor. The supervisor immediately secures the room. Anyone who is in the area where the package is discovered must remain in the area. Prevent additional employees from entering the area. The supervisor immediately contacts the local FMSS. Note: FMSS contacts local law enforcement authorities. The supervisor contacts Department and Operation officials. The supervisor contacts TIGTA at 800-589-3718. The supervisor also contacts Situation Awareness Management Center (SAMC), within 30 minutes of incident discovery. Phone 866-216-4809 email at samc@irs.gov, or Website shown above Note: In order to complete the incident report to SAMC, it's critical that someone captures the data related to the incident. The information must include a list of all persons who touched the letter or package and who were in the area if the letter or package was opened in case of contamination, employee statements, etc. In addition to reporting the incident to the supervisor, the employee who discovers the incident must remember to do the following: Do not touch your eyes, nose or other body parts. Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water. Stay in the secured area until you are directed to another location by FMSS or Emergency Personnel. Try to remember details about the incident so that you're able to help prepare your statement for SAMC. Each site has an Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP). Familiarize yourself with the Captain for your area and know where you must exit and stand during any evacuation, whether it's weather related or a physical hazard, such as fire or hazardous material. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact your local FMSS. Managers and/or their designated representatives, as well as all employees, must be familiar with the physical security incident and emergency reporting procedures. IRM 10.2.8.7, Notification and Response, contains additional detailed Incident Reporting guidance. In many instances, we receive mail that may be charred from a fire on the mail truck, appears to have been mutilated with some type of liquid intentionally or has thick greasy material possibly picked up on the USPS or PDS truck or equipment. If this smell can be absorbed by other documents and possibly make other workers down the line sick, do not continue processing. Put the document in a zip lock bag and contact your FMSS Analyst and/or your Planning and Analysis (PA) Analyst for advice. Disposition of some of these documents are determined on a case by case basis and referred to the Headquarters Analyst for guidance. 21.1.7.4.2 (10-01-2022) Service Center Automated Mail Processing System (SCAMPS) Security System security shall be maintained through the following steps: Follow system shutdown procedures in the Operator’s Handbook when terminating mail-processing operations. Maintain Server Computer Modems in an off status during normal conditions to prevent unauthorized access to the computers. These modems are for system diagnosis and repair only. If you have any questions about the operation of the machine, ask the Contractor assigned to the Campus. 21.1.7.4.3 (11-04-2019) Security of Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes Managers of Remittance Processing Operations have specific responsibilities relating to the security, internal control, issuance, and disposition of Forms 809, in addition to the care given any remittance handling. Forms 809 is handled with the same care and precision as cash. The following procedures are required when handling Forms 809: Forms 809 are pre-numbered with letter prefixes and issued in numeric sequence. Exhaust each series of letter prefixes before a new letter prefix is used. Authorize assignment of Forms 809 prior to issuance of a Form 809 book. Keep authorizations in the front of the Form 809, part 3 audit file. Retain authorizations on file as basis for subsequent book assignments as necessary for respective employees. Individuals, who are authorized to issue Form 809 receipts, cannot be responsible for inventory control of unissued Forms 809 or for reviewing the completed receipts. Separation of these duties is required for strict internal control. Individuals assigned Form 809 books must not share the book with others. Once a book is assigned, it is for the exclusive use of the employee to whom assigned. Form 809 books are nontransferable. Store each Form 809 book in a separate locked security container, then stored in a locked container. Refer to IRM 1.4.6.3.1, Minimum Protection Standards (MPS). Official receipts must not be used for training purposes. Note: Photocopies of sanitized receipts without serial numbers may be used for training. To void a receipt, when necessary, write "VOID" across the face of all copies. Enter reason for voiding on back of Copy 1. Route Forms 809 to Balancing for accountability and filing. Conduct quarterly reviews of individually assigned Form 809 books. At least once a year, conduct an annual reconciliation to ensure all receipts are accounted for. See IRM 3.8.47.6.17, Annual Reconciliation of Official Receipts. See IRM 3.8.47.6.19, Lost, Missing, or Stolen Form(s) 809 Receipt for Payment of Taxes, for reporting lost, missing or stolen Forms 809. 21.1.7.4.4 (10-01-2014) Separation of Duties and Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes Managers must ensure only appropriate employees have Form 809 books and employees with Form 809 books have only research command codes in their Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) profiles. Use of the Automated Command Code Access Control System is required to ensure Form 809 book users IDRS profiles are restricted. When managers authorize an employee to have a Form 809 book, they must activate or simultaneously contact the IDRS Unit Security Representative to activate command code RSTRK (Restrict) with Definer R (Form 809 book users). A command code is considered "sensitive" if it can be used to adjust account balances, change the status of a tax module or account, or affect the tax liability. Sensitive command code combinations are listed in IRM 10.8.34-5, Command Codes Marked as Sensitive in the IDRS Command Code Table, and command codes with sensitive connotation are listed in IRM 10.8.34-7, Command Codes with Sensitive Connotation. Use of the Automated Command Code Access Control System is required to ensure Form 809 book users IDRS profiles are restricted. Manager must activate or simultaneously contact the IDRS Unit Security Representative to activate command code RSTRK (Restrict) with Definer R. The command codes listed in IRM 10.8.34-9, Restricted Command Codes for the Role: Manual Refund Authorizers and Manual Refund Certifying Officers (RSTRK Definer M), are restricted from the IDRS user profile. See IRM 10.8.34.6.2.1.6.8, Automated Command Code Access Control, for additional information on command codes restriction. Managers must ensure employees with responsibility for issuing tax receipts to taxpayers are not assigned to control the Form 809 inventory or to review completed Forms 809. 21.1.7.5 (10-10-2007) Receipt of Mail Mail is received via the United States Postal Service (USPS), Private Carriers and from FMSS personnel. Mail delivery truck follows campus security guidelines for admittance. Security Guard opens the loading dock door and meets the delivery truck. Security Dog explores the truck, per security guidelines. If the Security Dog identifies suspicious package, follow Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Procedures. Note: This applies only to campuses with a Security Dog. An IRS employee is present when incoming or outgoing mail is in the unrestricted loading dock area. USPS/Private Carrier employees unload the truck. Mail is placed in cages. Security Guard ensures the loading dock door is closed. 21.1.7.5.1 (10-01-2007) Received Date All mail received in Mail Sorting area requires the received date on the postal container. Mail forwarded to the sorting area is controlled using the following procedures: Attach a control slip to each postal container indicating received date to the campus. The control slip can be a piece of paper, a Campus form or a Form 3210, Document Transmittal. Ensure that this control slip containing the received date is retained with the batch of mail when forwarded to the Extraction area. 21.1.7.5.2 (10-01-2010) Sorting and Slicing Open mail in a controlled and restricted area. Mail cages are delivered to mail team personnel for opening using Service Center Automated Mail Processing System (SCAMPS), slicers or alternative automated mail opening equipment. Specific United States Postal Service (USPS) Office normally delivers Post Office Box mail to the IRS in designated trays. Open this mail and rubber band together in bundles and place a tag on the bundle with the PO Box number, current date, and the volume. Place the bundle on the mail rack, log in the finished count for the daily report, and then send it to the Extracting area. Large mail envelopes and boxes are sorted out. Hand slicers manually slice the mail that cannot be opened by machines. Slice the envelopes received via flats and fats on three sides or turned inside out to ensure removal of contents. If suspicious, follow emergency procedures. All other mail is processed through mail opening equipment. 21.1.7.5.3 (03-05-2024) Mail Extracting and Processing General Extracted mail in a controlled and restricted environment. The individual campus determines the presence of statute. Forward all statute delinquent returns with potential Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED) to the Statute function for clearance prior to transshipment. For additional information, see IRM 25.6.1, Statute of Limitations Processes and Procedures. Note: Sort all "Imminent Statute" returns and "hand-carried" to the Statute Unit. Any return with a received date that is two years and nine months or more after the return due date is a potential statute return. Do not route returns to Statute Control Unit if any of the following conditions are present: Requested "Original Return" attached to CP 59, CP 63, CP 515, CP 516, CP 518 or CP 759. Instead route to Submission Processing. CP 259, CP 581, CP 959, Letter 112C, Letter 282C, Letter 2255C or Letter 2284C attached to a BMF Return. Instead route to Submission Processing. Notated "Statute Cleared" in the margin. Marked "6020 (b)" or "NFR" "Secured by Exam/Collection" , "Secured by TE/GE" , "Secured by TE/GE EP Exam" or "Process as Original." Notated on the face of the return "TC 59X" or "ICS." Prepared by Examination ("SFR" marked in top margin). Returns received with IDRS letter 2566 (SC/CG), 2566R, 3219-N (SC/CG), pink Form 3531, Request for Missing Information or Papers to Complete Return, attached or "ASFR" notated in top margin - Automated Substitute for Return (ASFR) cases. Process as Original notated with TC 59X. Note: Do not route returns marked "NFR" to Batching; route to Route to ICT. Note: If there is no "TC 59X" edited on the return, but the literal "Process as Original" is edited, route to Statute if it meets Statute criteria. Form 1040-X marked “Letter 6173”, “Letter 6174”, or “Letter 6174A”. Per IRM 3.11.3.72.2, Statutory Protection Cases, a statute clearance stamp is not required when SPC "B" is present. The individual campus determines what types of mail, i.e., Directors, TIGTA, etc., that cannot be opened by Campus Support. Those functions must extract their own mail within the confines of the Mailroom. Send all remittances including cash found in these envelopes directed to IRS or misdirected mail directly from Extraction to the Deposit Function. Note: Open all envelopes, even ones marked "Sensitive Mail" , "Confidential Mail - Open by Addressee Only" in the controlled and restricted area of Campus Support, since they can possibly contain remittance. If your site has local agreements with off-site functions to deliver their mail unopened, then follow the "Exception List" . See IRM 21.1.7.5.3.1, Administrative Mailrooms, for additional details about an "Exception List" . If a package addressed to a specific function or person contains a Form 3210, Document Transmittal, the individual or designee for the function must sign their Form 3210 and keep the copies. Forward these packages, with Form 3210, to the individual or specific function. Mail is extracted and date stamped. See IRM 3.10.72.6, IRS Received Date, for date stamping. Stamp the IRS Received Date only on the face of the document in an area that does not cover taxpayer information or the 2-D Bar code on the notices. Note: To protect taxpayer's identity information the Office of Privacy, Governmental Liaison and Disclosure (PGLD) has initiated a project to replace the printed SSN on selected taxpayer notices with a 2-D Barcode. This effort eliminates or reduces the full display of taxpayer Social Security numbers on these notices. Mail is sorted in the following priority order: Statute returns with or without payments Centralized Offer in Compromise (COIC) with and without payments Centralized Insolvency with and without payments Balance Due notices with payments CP 2000 with payments Returns with payments Returns without payments ASFR returns and correspondence Claims, Letter 854C responses, Form 843, Claim For Refund and Request for Abatement CP 2000 without payments No Balance Due Notices Loose Schedules IDRS Letters All other mail Although certain sorts are mandatory per this IRM, it is the prerogative of any campus to add additional sorts either by enhancing a required sort or by introducing a new sort. 21.1.7.5.3.1 (10-01-2015) Administrative Mailrooms The Administrative Mailrooms are "mini" Post Offices for the entire campus for some Incoming and Outgoing Mail. The SCAMPS or Mailroom area must route all Administrative type mail (if it can be identified) to the Administrative Mailroom and by-pass Extraction. SCAMPS or Mailroom area can route it directly to the Administrative Mailroom for the functional area to pick up. Then, the person from the function/area can extract their mail in the ventilated area before transporting to their own area. Never allow anyone to take mail out of the ventilated area that has not been extracted from the envelope to avoid risk of contamination. Do not allow anyone to take remits out of the secure area, even if they are taking them to a Deposit area. Some common examples of Administrative Incoming Mail include, but are not limited to the following: IRS to IRS Mail - Addressed to a specific person or functional area, route to the Administrative if the function is on the "Exception" list or if the package is not tax related information requiring processing. Administrative Mailroom personnel must phone the individual to arrange pick up. Note: If the Return Address on the envelope is from another IRS office and is not addressed to one of the "Exception" Mail Stops, extract the contents to ensure it does not include tax returns or remits. If contents are not tax related or should not be sorted for processing, route to Admin Mailroom for disposition. For example, if an Exam function routes cases to Centralized Case Processing (CCP) in a campus, do not extract all of the case files from the package. Date stamp the enclosed Form 3210 and follow your local procedure by routing directly to Exam or call the Exam contact for pick-up. Office Supplies, Computer Software/Hardware - These boxes are sliced in the SCAMPS or mail area and delivered to the Admin Mailroom for the recipient to extract and verify the contents in the ventilated area. Some examples are computer equipment for MITS, supplies delivered by Office Max (or another vendor), etc. "Exception List" - All sites have agreements with some functions that choose to extract and date stamp their own mail in the Administrative Mailroom or designated area within the ventilated area. Follow your local procedures for any approved function on the "Exception List" and route their mail to the Administrative Mailroom. If a package addressed to a specific function or person contains a Form 3210, Document Transmittal, the individual or designee for the function must sign their Form 3210 and keep the copies. Forward these packages with Form 3210 to the individual or specific function. There is also an Outgoing Mail function necessary to IRS employees in the Campus. They accept: Metered mail on the Paragon or Neopost machine Outgoing Certified Mail (prepared by the function/area) Small packages, flat envelopes, and boxes that require UPS Ground, Next Day or 2nd Day Air delivery services. Note: Complete Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service, accurately and submit with the mail piece by the Sender. Mailroom staff may reject the mail piece if the Form 9814 is not submitted or accurately completed, does not provide justification for Air Delivery Service and/or does not contain an authorization name and signature. The Form 9814 shall be archived in the Campus mailrooms for one year, per Document 12829, General Records Schedules. Acknowledgement letters addressed to the filer in their own self-addressed, stamped envelope. IRS does not have to pay postage to acknowledge receipt of mail when requested and no stamped, self-addressed envelope is provided by the filer. Taxpayers can use Return Receipt mail service to ensure their package is delivered to a site. Original Identification (ID) not needed for processing (i.e., Driver's license, picture ID, etc.) All mail accepted as Outgoing must contain the complete name, address, city, state, and zip. If it is going to another IRS office, be sure it includes a Stop number. If mail is submitted with a P.O. Box and the request is for Overnight or 2-Day, request a street address. United Parcel Service (UPS) is the contract carrier for IRS Private Delivery Service (PDS) packages. Private Delivery Service (PDS) does not accept mail addressed to a P.O. box. Use all available resources such as Outlook, Discovery Directory, and SERP (Who/Where tab) to obtain a street address and mail stop number for all outgoing mail to other IRS sites.

This includes envelopes attached to packages or wrapping paper. If contents are torn or were sliced in opening, immediately repair in a manner that allows proper processing. Use a candling table to ensure all contents were removed from the envelope. Refer to IRM 21.1.7.6.7, Candling Procedures. Place extracted envelopes in a container which bears the extracting employee’s full name, SEID and date. Refer to IRM 21.1.7.6.7, Candling Procedures, for Final Candling instructions on how to slice or open envelopes to ensure all contents are extracted. Sort the mail into "remittance" and "non remit" into the following categories: Centralized Insolvency Operation (COIC) Offer in Compromise (OIC) Notice Form Correspondence If a return is disassembled when extracting contents, assemble correctly and staple in top left corner of return (e.g., return is paper clipped or "loose" pages). Form 1040 series returns, ensure the Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, is stapled to left middle of return. Refer to IRM 21.1.7.6.1, Extraction of Envelope Contents with Remittance, for procedures on attaching envelopes. Be aware of remittances being placed in unsuspected places. When an IRS letter/CP notice is received with a return, place the letter/notice on top and route accordingly. Note the Exceptions shown below: If one of the following is received: And a: Then: CP 01A CP 01F Form 1040 is attached Move notice to the back and route return for processing.

When an IRS Letter/CP notice stub is received with a Form 433 series or Form 9465, route according to the form. Route the package to CSCO or ACS. Note: Route all Form 9465 received with CP 2000 to AUR. Taxpayers and Tax Preparers sometimes request the IRS to acknowledge receipt of data. Verify any group of returns or documents received before acknowledging receipt. Also, acknowledge copies of returns attached, which implies that they are requesting acknowledgement of receipt, if the taxpayer provides a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Stamp the document "Received by Campus, date, city, and state" . If acknowledgement is discovered after Extraction and there is no date stamp or envelope with Postmark date, simply leave the date blank. Do not stamp duplicate copies of acknowledgment letters, only the first one. Ignore the request if a stamped, self-addressed envelope is not enclosed. Move the request to the back of the return or correspondence. Continue processing the original form(s) or correspondence. Place the acknowledgement copy inside the envelope, seal it, and put it in the USPS basket. Note: Form 8038 series returns are sometimes filed in large quantities in one envelope and an acknowledgement is requested. Do not bother date stamping and returning the request. A CP 152 is generated to the filer when the return posts. If a stamped, self-addressed envelope is attached, leave it. If more than $3.00 postage is on the envelope, "X" the stamps; you do not have to write it up as Discovered Remit. Destroy any duplicate copy. Caution: Take extreme care to ensure that only the material relative to the taxpayer(s) to which the correspondence is addressed is enclosed in the envelope (see IRM 21.3.3.4.25, Breaches of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Caused by Manual Stuffing Errors). When a return is received with a credit card, take the credit card to the unit manager immediately. The manager records the last four digits of the credit card number, expiration date, the taxpayer's name, and last four digits of the TIN, just as is done when cash is received with a return. The manager edits an Action Code 460 on the return and the return is processed using normal extracting function procedures. The credit cards are hand-carried to Payment Function. Note: An Action Code 460 is edited on the return prior to transshipping the return for processing. The Action Code 460 suspends the return to Rejects for 25 days. An Action Code is entered in "RED" ink in the bottom, center margin on the front page. Send the credit card back to the taxpayer via certified mail, along with a Letter 3956C, Processing Form 1040 Received With Credit Card/Credit Card Information, advising the taxpayer that the IRS does not have the capability to process credit card payment transactions when the credit card or credit card information is sent in with the return. Caution: Take extreme care to ensure that only the material relative to the taxpayer(s) to which the correspondence is addressed is enclosed in the envelope (see IRM 21.3.3.4.25, Breaches of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Caused by Manual Stuffing Errors). Expedite all statute delinquent returns with potential ASED to the Statute function for clearance. See IRM 21.1.7.5.3, Mail Extracting and Processing General, (2) and (3), and IRM 25.6.1.8, Original Delinquent Returns, for additional information. 21.1.7.6.1 (10-16-2023) Extraction of Envelope Contents with Remittance Any return or document received with a check or money order is classified as "With Remittance" . Types of possible remittances the IRS campus may receive for processing can include any of the following: Personal Check Money Order Cashier’s Check Cash or Gold Coins (U.S. Currency Only) Note: Call out "Cash" (or follow local procedure). Business Check Certified Check Voucher Check Treasury Check Draft/Postcard Type Check Travelers Cheques Note: Route all Refund Anticipation Loan/Checks (commonly known as "RAL" checks - ones made payable to an individual from a Financial Institution) to your Lead. The Lead walks them to Deposit for disposition, since there are a variety of issues. Do not overstamp the checks. As soon as returned government refund checks are extracted (these checks were payable to an Individual or a Business), Extraction personnel must stamp each check with "Unless for Credit to the United States Treasury this Instrument is Non-Negotiable" . This stamp must not obscure any printing on the face of the check. Stamp the check underneath "Pay to the order of" . Do not overstamp the government check if: the government check is made payable to the “United States Treasury”, or the word “VOID” is written on either the front or back of the check. Note: Process the valid government checks for payment of taxes through normal processing. If Then Extraction Treasury IRS Refund Check is made out to an Individual and is returned as Undeliverable and no indication of ID Theft or Fraud Routes to Refund Inquiry. Treasury IRS Refund checks are returned as Undeliverable and you self-identify that there is the Same Address (different names) on multiple checks indicating possible fraud Routes to Fresno- RIVO External Leads Stop M2004. Personal Check is written because a Refund Check was cashed and the taxpayer thinks they received the check due to ID Theft, or the taxpayer is unsure why they got the check, but does not mention ID theft.

A Check is received from one Financial Institution and made payable to another Financial Institution (e.g., Citibank to Green Dot) Routes to Kansas City RIVO External Leads. Note: On the Form 3210, enter complete names of Payor and Payee. There is no need to overstamp these checks. Treasury check is returned and ID Theft is NOT indicated, but appears Fraud related (e.g., Multiple checks with different names have been mailed to the same address. Explanation is something like, "I do not know these people, but these checks were mailed to my house" ) Routes to Kansas City RIVO External Leads. Treasury check is returned and note is attached indicating ID Theft (e.g.," I got this refund check made payable to me, but I have not even filed my tax return this year.

Check is attached to Letter 4115C, or Letter 4464C, or Letter 4883C Routes to Kansas City RIVO External Leads Stop M2004. Set up a basket in Extraction area for the Extractor to place checks (including attached correspondence) that are routed to Fresno IVO. Note: Stamp all Treasury checks with your "Non-Negotiable" stamp before they are placed in the basket, unless the checks are marked void on the front or back of the checks. Overstamp United States Treasury on all 3rd Party or Personal Checks, if needed. Both stamps (U.S. Treasury and “Non-Negotiable”) must be available at each Extractor’s desk. Prepare a Form 3210, Document Transmittal. Enclose the checks (including correspondence, if any) inside a "To be opened by addressee only" envelope and write "IVO Stop M2004" if routing to Fresno. Route the envelope to the Shipping area with a Form 9814 and check "UPS Ground" . Shipping can include the envelope with other receipts that are transshipped to those sites. Maintain a separate file of these Forms 3210 and attach the Acknowledgement copy to your copy. Follow-up after five days, if no Acknowledgement copy is received. You may provide a fax number to the IVO function to fax the Acknowledgement copy back to you, in lieu of mailing. If a mixture of items are mailed to you by Homeland Security, the USPS or some other branch of law enforcement, sort the items and mail to the appropriate IVO site, either Fresno or Austin. If any debit cards are included, always mail the package to Fresno IVO External Leads. Note: If the USPS Inspector sends a letter stating that a CI Agent took care of the Treasury checks and they are returning the mail pieces, route them to Austin IVO at Stop 6579. Keep the USPS letter with the submission. Overstamp all payee lines "United States Treasury" at the point of extraction. See IRM 21.1.7.9.12, Overstamping. See IRM 3.10.72.6.2, Received Date Stamping Requirements, for date stamping of multiple returns and documents received in one envelope. Below are procedures for assembling and routing multiple documents or checks: If Then "One remittance" is received with more than one return Assemble the multiple returns to the back of the first in a staggered format. "More than one remittance" is received with only one return or document Stagger the checks. Sort as a perfect payment; a notice(s) or check that contains a legible taxpayer name, TIN, one Master File Transaction (MFT) code, one or more tax periods, one remittance and as applicable: report number, designated payment code, and secondary transaction code. Date stamp a remittance received alone in an envelope addressed to the IRS, no matter the condition (endorsed or not or made out to appropriate payee or not), on the envelope or check stub. Do not stamp over pertinent taxpayer information. Below are procedures for sorting checks as perfect or imperfect: If Then The check contains a name, one TIN, one form type, and one or more tax periods, Sort as "perfect" . Name, TIN, form type, or tax period is missing, or more than one TIN is shown, Sort as imperfect. Double check balance due returns or notices for the presence of a remittance. All types of remittance are picked up and taken to the Payment preparation area. See IRM 21.1.7.6.10, Processing Cash and Handling of Currency and Items of Value, for processing any return, document, or misdirected mail to IRS with an item of value other than a check or money order. See IRM 21.1.7.6.1.1, Large Dollar Remits, for procedures when remittance of at least $50,000 or more is discovered. 21.1.7.6.1.1 (03-03-2020) Large Dollar Remits When a remittance of one million dollars or more is discovered, the discoverer must immediately carry it to their Manager with the return or document. The Manager must immediately carry the remittance with the return or document to the Deposit Manager. Expedite the check through Remittance Strategy - Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC). If the check cannot be processed through RS-PCC, the manager immediately carries it to the Form 3210 preparation area for shipment to Submission Processing Deposit site. Place a remittance of at least $50,000 but less than one million dollars is discovered on the top of the work pile and flagged as large dollar. 21.1.7.6.1.2 (10-12-2016) Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) For remittances and documents (Subpoenas or other court requests for IRS documents or testimony) received pertaining to the Freedom of Information Act, Right of Privacy, forward with Form 3210, Document Transmittal, to the following Disclosure Office address: Internal Revenue Service Central Processing Unit. 4800 Buford Highway Stop 93-A Chamblee, Georgia 39901-0001 21.1.7.6.2 (10-01-2007) Sorting The United States Postal Service sorts and delivers mail by PO Box number.

Exception: Mail Form SS-4, Application for Employers Identification Number to Cincinnati Accounts Management EIN Stop 532G. 21.1.7.6.7 (10-16-2023) Candling Procedures Candling is the process of visually inspecting all envelopes after extraction of contents to ensure there are no remaining documents and/or remittances. Candling is done by either: Passing the envelope over a light source to determine if any contents remain inside or, Slicing the envelope on three sides, unfolding it, and visually inspecting both sides to ensure no documents or remittances are adhering to the envelope. Candling is performed in two stages: Initial Candling is performed at the extraction table as part of the extraction and sorting process. Perform initial candling before the envelope is placed in the collection bag/container. Final Candling is a second visual inspection of the envelopes after the extractors’ bags/containers have been transferred to the final candling area. Final candling is performed by either passing the envelopes over a light source or slicing the envelopes on three sides and visually inspecting both sides to ensure no documents and/or remittances are adhering to the envelope. Note: When the envelope is to remain attached to the document, it must be sliced on three sides or passed over the light on an extracting table unless it's the fuzzy padded or the slick combination paper/plastic. An easy way to remember is: If it's not going to Final Candling (meaning you're not dropping in your bag for a "second review" ), slice the envelope on three sides or pass the envelope over the light on an Extracting table to reduce the number of Discovered Remits. Extractors perform Initial Candling at a Tingle Table by: Slicing envelopes on either one side or three sides (with a few exceptions), Extract all contents, and Always run the "see through" envelopes sliced on one side across the light on the Extraction table to check for any remaining contents before dropping into container. Note: If a campus has to use six ft. tables (or desks without lights) during peak season to extract, then slice the envelopes on three sides. If a site elects to slice all envelopes on three sides, it is not required to use the light on the Tingle table. Use the following chart to determine the proper Initial Candling procedure for the various types of envelopes: If the envelope is: Then: normal letter size envelopes or what we refer to as "see-through envelopes" , Slice on one side or three sides. Follow local procedure. Padded with plastic bubble material Cardboard (Overnight envelope) Opaque (non"see-through" ), ANY size Thin plastic that slices using your slicers Exception: Combination paper/plastic and "fuzzy" padded envelopes Slice on three sides. Note: If slicing on three sides, the Extractor can turn the light "OFF" , if the light or heat is bothersome. For the Monthly Review, this table would be designated "Not in Use" , meaning the light is not in use if at the time of review, the person sitting at the table is slicing on three sides. Combination "paper/plastic envelopes" (usually white (with windows) and green diamond shape marks) Open the end, extract contents, and manually search the inside for any remaining contents before dropping in your Extractor's bag. You do not have to slice them. Note: Any type of envelope that is specifically designed not to cut or tear easilydoes not require slicing on three sides, unless you want to. Generally, the material content is "slick" and designed to make items easily fall out. Watch out for any static electricity on some of the plastic envelopes, which tends to make items "cling" to the envelope. the envelope contains "fuzzy padding" Do not slice on three sides or intentionally cut into the fuzzy part of the envelope. See additional information below. For the envelopes with the "fuzzy padding" , it is recommended that each site sort them separately from the other fats/flats. Extraction area can rotate opening of these envelopes among all extractors, (i.e., set up a daily rotation among all in a Unit). This allows the person to prepare by dressing appropriately, securing a face mask, or paper gown, if desired. Try to use the pull tab on the envelope or detach the staples/tape on the end of the package to open the envelope without cutting into the fuzzy padding. Do not slice on three sides or intentionally cut into the fuzzy part of the envelope. Once contents are extracted, drop these envelopes in a separate tagged bag from your other extracted envelopes. This ensures that the fuzz is not distributed throughout your other bagged envelopes and onto the Final Candling table (and those individuals). Place an Identifying Tag inside or on the container (e.g., bag or container) of all extracted envelopes during Initial Candling. The Identifying Tag (Form 13870 or one locally developed) must contain, the extracting employee’s full name, SEID and the received date. If the extraction date is different than the received date, show both dates on the Identifying Tag. Prior to transporting the bags/buckets to the Final Candling area, someone other than the person who performed the Initial Candling must ensure that the tag is enclosed/attached. If tag is not visible, the "sweeper/runner" must request one from the Extractor prior to transporting to the Final Candling area. Place the tag so that it is easily visible when picked up. Place the tag either as the first item in the center bottom or on top of the contents of the bag. If your campus uses "stickers" , make sure all old stickers are clearly "Xed" (or deleted) before placing your new one on the bag. If your campus uses the red (or colored) buckets (similar to USPS containers), ensure the tag with your Name, SEID and received date is attached. After the bags have been securely tied at the top to ensure no contents can fall out in transit to the Final Candling area, the "runner/sweeper" transports them to the Final Candling area. Stage and work the bags in received date order. Ensure that the bag is in good condition (no visible holes) before you begin extracting. SCAMPS defines Flats/Fats based on the size or thickness of the envelope and the capability of the machine to sort and slice it. However, for Extraction of the contents and Candling purposes, follow guidelines based on whether "see-through" , the Extractor's ability to easily cut/slice the envelope easily and quickly, or if the fabric content of the envelope is designed for contents to slide out (which are usually the ones with more plastic content than paper). Always remember that the purpose of Candling is to ensure that no contents are left in the envelope. Final Candlers may identify envelopes that are not sliced on three sides, but the harm to the taxpayer is when items are left in the envelope and not processed timely. Final Candling has several definitions based on the type of envelope, but it is the final search prior to destruction to find any remaining contents following Extraction. Final Candling of all "see-through" envelopes is when envelopes that are sliced on one side are again passed over a light source which meets the minimum standard (on a Final Candling or Extracting Table). If "see-through" envelopes are sliced on three sides, then only check to ensure all contents are removed. This can be performed with, or without a light source. If you are unable to "see through" the envelope using a light source, then manually search the envelope for any remaining contents. If the envelope is a "heavy duty" bubble material, cardboard, or thin plastic, ensure that it was sliced on three sides and all contents extracted. If the envelope is a "paper/plastic" type material, manually search the inside to ensure no contents remain. Place "fuzzy padded" envelopes in a separate bag. Manually search inside the envelopes for any remaining items and drop them back in the same bag, or other bags, ready for destruction. Do not intentionally put the envelope on the table. Try to prevent spilling the dust on the table surface. An employee in the Restricted Area (Campus Support) performs Initial Candling and Final Candling. During Initial Candling, one clerk passes envelopes over the light source while another individual is nearby or in the same unit/group. Final Candling is generally performed at large Final Candling tables, but can be done at an Extraction table. Final Candling is performed no later than three business days after Extraction (five business days during Peak Processing) to meet your Campus Deposit Timeliness Measure. Boxes, carts, crates, etc., must not block the view of any employee performing Final Candling work. Any employee performing Final Candling remains in clear view of another employee and both are stationed in the Restricted Area. These Final Candling rules apply whether performed at the big tables, or at Extraction Tables. Consider the layout of the restricted area when seating employees to ensure maximum visibility during Final Candling. If the light on your Extracting Table or Final Candling Table appears dim, or dimmer than normal, contact your Manager to perform the light meter test. If not meeting the minimum standard of 174 FC (Foot Candle) or greater, move to another table until a new bulb is installed. Clerks identify any Non-Remit item or envelope found not properly sliced during Final Candling. These items or envelopes are given to management to provide feedback to the Extractor. Attach the Extractor's Identifying Tag to the item when routed to the Manager. The Manager determines the disposition of any item found. Non-Remit items are not required on the Form 13592, Final Candling Log. Note: Return any Certified green postcard still attached to the envelope to the Manager. "Click and Ship" envelopes from the USPS should not be returned to the manager as a "find" . The employee or designee records all Remit items on Form 13592, Final Candling Log, and dropped in the locked, secure container. Ensure that any checks/money orders found are properly overstamped and attached to the identifying tag (must include extractor's SEID, the official Received Date, etc.)"Double paper clip" the tag and remit item(s) together at the top and side before dropping into the secure container. There are two options for completing the Final Candling Log. In either case, do not record the items until you have completed candling the entire bag: The employee (Candler) who found the remit item completes the entire line entry on the Form 13592, including time when the information was completed, or The employee who found the remit item only completes date and time, their SEID, and amount. At the manager's discretion, the manager, or designee can complete it for the employee. The Designee opens the locked container, extract the contents and match up the SEID from the tag and amount on the check, and complete the remaining line items. The Manager (or designee) signs in the "RC Initials and Date" column to verify all line entries against the contents. Note: According to IRM 10.2.14.3.3, Locked Containers, (2), a locked container is "any metal container with riveted or welded seams which is locked and to which the keys and combinations are controlled" . Deposit any remit $5,000 or greater on same day as discovered, if found before the cut-off for the daily Deposit. Establish a local procedure to notify the Manager that a large remit has been found. See IRM 21.1.7.6.7, Candling Procedures, (17). Once Deposit has signed for the Remits, give the Bag Tag to the appropriate manager to provide Feedback to the Extractor who left the remit inside the envelope. The Manager reviews the Form 13592, Final Candling Log and validates that all available information is correctly entered and remittance amount matches the content found. The employee who found the remit completes the following columns on the Form 13592 in non-erasable ink: Today's Date - Enter the date and time in the first and last entry and draw a line for the ones in between, since you can only use one day per sheet. Item Discovered Name/TIN - Enter Name Control and last four digits of the TIN or abbreviate name to shorten the entry, as long as the Manager and Deposit can match the remit to the Taxpayer. Name/ID Number of Identifier - It is suggested that you use SEID or some type of Employee Number, instead of Name. Employee Name/Number - It is suggested that you use SEID or some type of Employee Number, instead of Name. $ Amount Identified - Write the amount legibly. It is not necessary to complete the Total Amount at the bottom of the page, unless local management wants it. Note: If a log entry is made, then deleted, write an explanation for the correction and draw a corresponding arrow to the deleted line entry. Following the explanation, both the employee and Manager must Initial and date, indicating acceptance of the explanation/reason for the deletion. Note: For work days when there are "No Candling Finds" , indicate this and the date on either a separate sheet, or on the previous day's sheet. This enables the reviewer to verify that a sheet is not missing from the log. This is not necessary for weekends and holidays. The Manager completes "RC Initials and Date" column, then make a photocopy. The Manager takes the Original and Photocopy of the log, along with the remit(s) to the Deposit Function. Perform this transfer of remit(s) to Deposit as many times in a day as necessary to ensure timely deposit rules are met. Transfer remit(s) at a designated time set by Deposit that allows them enough time to process the payment through RS-PCC. Secure all remaining remits found in Final Candling after the last daily transfer in a secure box or designated area temporarily, or overnight. Deposit any remit of $5,000 or more on same day discovered, if possible. Take the previous day's remit items to Deposit the following day in the first transfer. Make every attempt to get your Friday finds to Deposit in time for them to process them. Be especially careful that only small volumes of Candling finds are held over a weekend, especially a holiday weekend. Upon receipt of the Remit(s) and the Log Sheet, a designated Deposit employee initials and date the original copy of the Form 13592 log, indicating receipt of the Remit in the "Deposit Initials and Date" column. Leave the photocopy of the log with Deposit function and return the original signed (initialed) copy of the Form 13592 log sheet book to the Final Candling area. You can continue filling up the entire page if it is the same workday. If the sheet is full, another sheet started, or more than one sheet was needed for the same day, mark the sheets "Page 1 of X" , etc., at the end of the day, or before starting a new sheet the following workday. Keep Form(s) 13592, Receipt and Control Final Candling Log, in the Final Candling area for recording any contents found during Final Candling. Keep all logs in one logbook separated by Month tabs in consecutive date order. Review the logbook monthly. Retention period is one year, including the current month for the log sheets. After Final Candling, place the envelopes in secure containers prior to destruction, recycling, etc., The manager instructs you where to place the containers of empty envelopes, adhering to guidelines in IRM 1.4.6.5.17, Disposition and Destruction. Do not use the empty envelopes for any purpose, such as storing items, displaying on the wall as a "Job Aid" , etc., Refer to IRM 10.5.1.4.1, Employees/Personnel. Candling Equipment Maintenance - (for Management Officials Only) Adjust candling equipment, on both initial and final candling tables, as necessary, to maintain maximum envelope recognition. Maximum envelope recognition is determined by the measurement of foot candles (FC) through use of a light meter. The light source must meet the minimum standard of 174 FC on all Extracting Tables and Final Candling tables, whether they are in use, or not. The lights must meet the standard at all times. Replace bulbs that do not meet the minimum requirement. Test the candling equipment twice yearly. Ensure testing is completed prior to peak time-frames. Note: This is a minimum standard. The individual campus can increase reviews at their discretion based on findings. Management or designated Management Official verifies lights are meeting minimum requirements and complete Form 14001, Candling Equipment Review Log. If lights do not meet minimum requirements, document actions taken to correct the deficiency on the log. Retention period for Form 14001, Candling Equipment Review Log, is one year, including current month. Note: Annotate “Not in Use” when envelopes are sliced on three sides and the candling light is not used at the time of the review. 21.1.7.6.8 (12-14-2015) Attaching Envelopes to Returns and Documents Attach envelopes to the back left side of returns or documents in a vertical position ensuring postmark is facing outward. When envelope is too long, attach in a horizontal position. If you attach the envelope to a tax return or correspondence, you must slice the envelope on 3 sides or pass the envelope over the light on an Extracting table. Exception: Slicing is not required on fuzzy, padded or slick envelopes that are designed not to tear, as outlined in IRM 21.1.7.6.7, Candling Procedures. Manually search inside the envelopes for any remaining items. For the larger USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc., envelopes/fats/flats/packages, you can either: tear the shipping label off of the envelope/box and attach to the back of the return in the upper left with the postmark/shipping label facing outward, tear off the back side of the envelope, fold the remainder in half, and attach to the back of the return with the postmark/shipping label facing outward.

The discoverer and manager counts the currency. The manager prepares Form 4287, Record of Discovered Remittances, to record the finding of the currency. The form preparation is self-explanatory. The discoverer and the manager must initial the recorded entry on the Form 4287. The manager must place the currency with the related return or document with which it came, in an envelope with a notation that corresponds with the entry on the Form 4287. The manager must place the envelope in a lockable container kept in their custody in accordance with IRM 10.2.11, Basic Security Concepts. Only the manager and a designated employee are permitted to have the keys/combination to the lockable container. Note: If U.S. currency is received with another payment, convert the cash to a check or money order. After conversion, process both payments through RS-PCC. If unable to process through RS-PCC transship both payments to Submission Processing Support site for processing together. See IRM 21.1.7.7, Cash Payments and Cash Conversion, for additional information for processing cash. Note: When U. S. currency, gold coins, is received from a taxpayer, transship to Submission Processing Support site. They contact the Property Appraisal and Liquidation Specialist. If Debit Cards are returned by another taxpayer (delivered to an address where recipient does not reside) or intercepted by the USPS (items returned in a USPS envelope and contain a note indicating "possible fraud" ), (do not slice the envelope from the debit card company). If the envelope was sliced, staple or tape it back together. Note: If a taxpayer returns a combination of Treasury Checks and debit cards, keep the entire submission together and send the complete "package" to IVO External Leads in Fresno, using the address shown below. Date stamp the front of the envelope (below the Return Address) if intercepted by the USPS. If returned by another taxpayer, date stamp the correspondence, attach envelope, and date stamp the front of the debit card envelope. Photocopy the front of the debit card envelope showing both addresses (Return Address and Recipient's address) and date. Complete a Form 3210, Document Transmittal, indicating the total volume of envelopes/debit cards and mail the complete package (e.g., all photocopied pages and original debit card envelopes) to Fresno. Hold the items in the safe or lock cabinet, if unable to meet the UPS deadline for pick-up on that day. Use the following address to mail Debit Cards to Fresno: Internal Revenue Service 3211 S Northpointe Dr Fresno, CA 93725 Stop 23101 ATTN: Jeff Cole When any item of value, other than U.S. currency is discovered, see IRM 21.1.7.9.17, Unacceptable Payments. An item of value can be gold, silver, jewelry, savings bonds, postage stamps, Treasury notes/bonds, stocks, etc. Note: If a taxpayer or the USPS sends us any "possible fraudulent" Refund Checks, personal (or 3rd party checks) for repayment of cashed refund checks, route these items to IVO in Fresno. Refer to the chart in IRM 21.1.7.6.1, Extraction of Envelope Contents with Remittance, (3). Foreign currency is not acceptable for payment of federal income taxes. Transship foreign currency to Submission Processing. Note: These procedures are for foreign paper currency only, not coins, which are considered too insignificant in value to convert and ship back to the issuing country. When postage stamps are received in amounts less than $3, cross through and permanently affix stamps to related return or document and retain in regular work-flow. A teller from the Deposit Function is responsible for collecting the locked container contents. If the discovered item(s) is not retrieved at least once daily, per shift, the Extracting Manager informs the Deposit Manager. The Manager opens the envelope(s) and verifies the content with the teller. The teller initials and dates the Form 4287 that the items listed were received. The Manager retains the duplicate copy as proof of discovery and gives the item to the Deposit Function with the other 2 parts of the Form 4287. Refer to IRM 3.8.46, Discovered Remittance, for complete processing instructions. 21.1.7.6.11 (12-01-2022) Processing Refund Anticipation Loans Checks When a Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL) check is intercepted and returned by the bank, route the payment to Integrity and Return Verification Operation (RIVO) at the address below on a separate Form 3210, Document Transmittal by Overnight Traceable Mail Delivery.

Post repayments of an Advance Child Tax Credit payment made by personal check or money order with a TC 670 designated payment code (DPC) 63. The DPC 63 triggers a systemic reversal of the credit reference number (CRN) 272. The posting of the payment with DPC 63 stops future payments from going out. Post the payment to the 2021 tax year module. If a taxpayer returns a Treasury Check with a check legend indicating "Advance Child Tax Credit", forward the Returned Refund/Rebate Check along with any document(s) to the Refund Inquiry Unit in a sealed envelope or container using Form 3210, Document Transmittal. Form 3210 must list the following information from each check; check symbol, check number, and amount. If the Refund Inquiry Unit is located in another building, seal the Returned Treasury Checks in an envelope and place in a lockable canvas bag or container, or double wrap and double seal in an opaque paper envelope or box. Scan correspondence submitted with repayment of the Advance CTC to CII. See IRM 21.6.3.4.1.24.2, Advance CTC, for additional information on the credit. If a taxpayer returns a personal check or money order indicating they received a direct deposit in error (intended for a different taxpayer), transship the payment and any correspondence to a tax processing center to post the payment to Unidentified. Route returned Treasury Checks from a taxpayer who received it in error to Refund Inquiry and include any correspondence submitted with the check. 21.1.7.6.15 (10-01-2022) Returned Economic Impact Payment (EIP) Taxpayers may submit a returned Economic Impact Payment (EIP) as a personal check or money order with a notation indicating the return of "EIP20XX", "Economic Impact Payment", "stimulus", etc. Process the returned payment as a TC 670 DPC 65 with a secondary TC 570 to Tax Year 20XX tax module for the appropriate TIN.

Route returned Treasury Checks from a taxpayer who received it in error to Refund Inquiry and include any correspondence submitted with the check. 21.1.7.7 (12-01-2022) Cash Payments and Cash Conversion Campus Support must convert cash payments to check or money order, within 24 hours of receipt from the taxpayer, before sending for processing. To minimize the risk of losses, convert cash to a bank draft or money order by the close of the business day on which it was collected, or as soon as possible on the next business day. Note: If your campus does not have an on-site credit union, cash may be converted weekly if it is less than $5,000.00. Use Standard Form 1034, Public Voucher for Purchases and Services Other Than Personal, to apply for reimbursement of cash conversion expenses, such as the processing fee for a money order. Note: Until a decision is made at the national level, each site needs to determine the best way to pay the cash conversion expense before submitting the Form 1034 for reimbursement. Count any cash found, document on a Form 4287, Record of Discovered Remittances, and secure found cash in a locked container until the designated employee retrieves it for processing. Prepare Form 4287, Record of Discovered Remittances, each day for cash received. If zero cash is received, document non-receipt on a Form 4287 for control purposes. Daily, the designated employee must retrieve the cash from the locked container for verifying and preparing the cash for the deposit. Two employees count and verify cash received through Extraction. Take the following actions for cash receipts: Remove cash from the locked container. Keep original Form 4287 with cash package and leave copy with Extraction clerk. Verify, review, and balance Form 4287. Verify remittance, cash, taxpayer information, and returns/documents to Form 4287 with designated extraction clerk. Notate any changes or corrections to Form 4287 in green and initial both copies of Form 4287. Open envelopes and verify contents to Form 4287. Verify money amount listed on Form 4287 by preparing an adding machine tape. Add cash only and edit total in green on Form 4287 under "Amount of Remit" column after last taxpayer entry. Add checks and money orders and edit total in green on Form 4287"Amount of Remit" column after cash total. Add cash, checks, and, money orders, and edit grand total in green on Form 4287 below check and money order total. Designated employee must initial next to grand total of cash deposit. After verifying and balancing the cash to the Form 4287, prepare Form 2679, Teller's Daily Balance and Reconciliation. Count coins and currency by denominations. Verify that bills are legitimate with a counterfeit marker. Complete Form 2679, in duplicate. Make a calculator tape from Form 2679. Enter cash amounts only, start with pennies. Date stamp today's date. Take only cash to credit union and convert cash to money order. If a financial institution asks the employee to complete a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) when more than $10,000 is being converted, point out that there is an exemption in the Treasury Regulations [31 CFR 1020.315 subsections (a) and (b)]. The regulations state that: "No bank is required to file a report [for a transaction in currency of more than $10,000] with respect to such transaction in currency between an exempt person and such bank" . "Exempt person" is "a department or agency of the United States" . Take the following steps after converting cash to bank draft or money order. Make bank drafts or money orders payable to "United States Treasury" . Staple stub/receipt of money order to shuttle tape. Record the name of the issuing financial institution or money order vendor, the serial number, and the date of conversion in the block provided on Part 3 of Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes. Complete Form 809 with all information that applies to the payment. Taxpayer Identification Number Name Control Tax Form Number Tax Period MFT Type of Payment Name Address Signature of IRS Employee IRS Received Date Employee SEID Number Designated Payment Code (circle one of the pre-printed DPC's or write in the appropriate code) Assessed Amount Other TC Total Amount Received Note: When cash is received and you are unable to identify the taxpayer, complete the Form 809 with unknown for the missing information and attach part two behind part three. Send the money order to Ogden for processing. Complete Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes, in received date order, for each taxpayer for whom cash was received and: Determine if payment can be processed through RS-PCC. Tear out parts 1 and 3 of Form 809. Annotate RS-PCC in the memorandum space of Form 809 part 3 for payments processed through RS-PCC. Staple parts 1 behind part 3 of payments processed through RS-PCC and transship them to Submission Processing. Transship part 1 and 3 with remittance to Submission Processing if unable to process payment(s) through RS-PCC. Make copy of any necessary correspondence or return as source document and route original to appropriate area. Mail Part 2 to the taxpayer with Notice 428, Thank You (Notice to taxpayer acknowledging receipt of cash payment). Add remittance amount from receipts on adding machine and compare with line 12 of Form 2679. Annotate used receipt numbers of Form 809, on Form 2679. Errors on Form 809 must result in voiding and making new Form 809. Enclose Parts 1 and 2 of voided Form 809 with cash package. See IRM 21.1.7.8, Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes, for additional information. Prepare a cash folder and include the following items: Calculator tape and stub/receipt of money order Parts one and two of Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes (enclose VOIDED receipts) Original and copy of Form 2679 Returns/documents prepared for manual processing Balanced Form 4287 Retention for Forms 4287, Record of Discovered Remittances, is one year after the end of the processing year per Document 12990, Records and Information Management Record Control Schedules, Tax Administration – Taxpayer Services (Job No. NC1-58-85-10, Item 137). Retention for Forms 2679, Teller's Daily Balance and Reconciliation, is one year after the end of processing year per Document 12990, Records and Information Management Record Control Schedules, Tax Administration - Taxpayer Services (Job No. NC1-58-85-10, Item 131). 21.1.7.8 (12-14-2015) Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes Ogden Submission Processing issues all Form 809 books to authorized employees in Campus Support sites. Management must authorize at least one individual and one backup individual to issue an official receipt to every taxpayer who sends in cash. The Campus requires strict control of cash and Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes, receipts. Request an initial book of Forms 809 authorized memorandum from the group manager or an official approved by the Director. The memo must identify the operating division and management hierarchy down to the group level. This is necessary to ensure the information is on file when contact with accountable officials is required. The employee signs the Receipt page found in front of a Form 809 receipt book. They return this signed receipt/acknowledgment to Ogden Submission Processing Teller unit within five workdays after receipt. If the receipt page is inadvertently missing or lost, an acknowledgment memorandum is prepared and provided to Ogden Submission Processing. The original authorization is kept on file within the teller unit function. A receipt book is assigned for the exclusive use of the intended employee only. It is not transferable. When Ogden Submission Processing issues a Form 809 book to an authorized employee, they record the serial number of the book issued. Employees are required to maintain strict control of their Form 809 receipt book and the individual receipts. Employees are only allowed to have one assigned Form 809 receipt book at a time. Handle Form 809 with the same care and precision as cash. Form 809 book holders must not have sensitive command codes in their IDRS profiles. Form 809 book holders must report to a first level manager. Print clearly and legibly on Form 809 so there are no inconsistencies on carbon copies and the receipt is legible on all four parts. Verify money amounts and issued only for amount of cash received. List user fee, or only one tax period, on Form 809. Form 809 book holders must acknowledge they have received a book in writing within five workdays. Complete the acknowledgment page in the front of the book and return to Ogden Submission Processing. Issue receipts in numerical sequence by serial number. Use the lowest number receipt first and continue to issue receipts in numerical order. Upon issuance of the 40th receipt, a second book may be ordered by using the reorder form in the back of the book. Complete, sign and send to Ogden Submission Processing. Form 809 has a correct and unaltered signature of the employee to whom the book was issued. Form 809 is used as a posting document. Prepare a separate receipt for each tax period, type of tax, or user fee covered by the payment. Managers, or designee, review and balance Forms 809 prior to mailing. When a Form 809 is prepared for payments that cannot be processed through RS-PCC, send to Ogden Submission Processing for processing. Managers must conduct reviews of each employee's receipt book at least annually and adhoc reviews periodically to ensure all receipts are accounted for. 21.1.7.9 (10-01-2021) Payments Accounts Management is committed to ensuring payments are processed within 24 hours. For payments processed through the Remittance Strategy - Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) system, the 24 hour deposit standard is met by scanning the paper check and submitting it for deposit no later than the first business day after the date of receipt of the check. As we move toward attaining that goal through improved technology, it is of the utmost importance to process the largest amount of money in the shortest possible time frame in order to maintain good cash management practices. If Campus Support is unable to process the imperfect payments through RS-PCC within 24 hours, but they can process the payments the next day without an impact to the next day's receipts, they should not transship the payment to Submission Processing, but hold the payments and process the payments the next day. Process remittances of $50,000 and over by the next business day of the campus received date. Attempt to process these items the same day of extraction or no later than the next business day. When a remittance of at least $50,000 but less than one million dollars is discovered, place it on the top of the work pile and flagged as large dollar. Process remittances of $100,000 or more on the day of extraction. When checks of $100 million or more are received, photocopy the check and immediately fax to the deposit support site. Management at all levels must monitor the flow of receipts to ensure that this objective is achieved. Pick up payments received with correspondence or returns continually during all shifts by assigned sweepers. Ship payments not processed through RS-PCC to the Deposit site on the received day when possible, but no later than the next business day. Checks and money orders are made payable to "United States Treasury" . After payments are received from Extraction, payments are pre-batched into three categories: Perfect payment (a perfect item is a notice(s) or check that contains a legible taxpayer name, TIN, one MFT code, one or more tax periods, one remittance and as applicable: report number, designated payment code, and secondary transaction code). Imperfect payment with taxpayer's names and TIN, but does not contain one or more elements necessary for processing. Imperfect payment without taxpayer's name and TIN. These payments need additional research. After the payments are pre-batched, they are taken to the Payment Preparation area and sorted into: Form 1040 series, Form 4868, and Form 4506 Form 94X series, Form 5330,Form 1120,Form 1041,Form 706,Form 7004, and Form 8813 Notice coupons/stubs Form 1040ES, and Form 1040V Form 1040-X CP 2000 IMF Correspondence BMF Correspondence SFR Form 9465 and Form 433D BMF CP 504 Form SS-4 ACS Big/Large checks Form 2159 Government checks Original returns with statute criteria After the sorting process, screen payments for the following issues: Overstamping - IRM 21.1.7.9.12 Remittance Not Payable to United States Treasury - IRM 21.1.7.9.13 Government Checks - IRM 21.1.7.9.15 Campus Support must route imperfect payments to Payment Perfection for research. Campus Support identifies questionable remittances that resemble checks and money orders, but which are fake, bogus and/or counterfeit. These remittances are not certified by any institution and they are non-negotiable. Do not process questionable remittances via RS-PCC or PCC. Campus Support is familiar with the characteristics of questionable remittances and are able to identify when one is received. Refer to IRM 21.1.7.9.29, Questionable Payments, for further information related to fake/bogus checks or money orders being used to pay a taxpayer's debt to IRS. 21.1.7.9.1 (10-26-2011) Repayment of the First-Time Homebuyer Credit When a remittance is received with documentation stating it is for repayment of the First-Time Homebuyer Credit, process the payment with the following: TC 670/570 MFT 30 21.1.7.9.2 (10-01-2011) Overpayment Notices Remittances received with an overpayment notice (CP 12, CP 12M, CP 13, or CP 24), post these payments with a TC 670/570. 21.1.7.9.3 (10-01-2019) Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return If Form 1040NR has an SSN and/or the "Individual" box is checked, process as IMF: TC 610 and MFT 30 When remittance processing is completed, transship Form 1040NR and all attachments to Austin Submission Processing using a Form 3210. Date stamp Form 1040NR. Include a copy of the remittance with Form 1040NR. If Form 1040NR has an EIN and/or the "Estate or Trust" box is checked, date stamp the return and transship return with payment using Form 3210 to Kansas City for processing as NMF. 21.1.7.9.4 (10-01-2012) Form 1041-T Form 1041-T, Allocation of Estimated Tax Payments to Beneficiaries, received alone with remittance: Make copy of Form 1041-T as the source document. Route original Form 1041-T to Image Control Team (ICT). Process payment to MFT 05 and use TC 610. 21.1.7.9.5 (10-22-2012) Form 4219, Statement of Liability of Lender, Surety, or Other Person for Withholding Taxes Form 4219, Statement of Liability of Lender, Surety, or Other Person for Withholding Taxes, is received with Form 941, do not detach. Route Form 941 and Form 4219 to Submission Processing. Process payment through RS-PCC as follows: TC 610 MFT 01 Tax periods 03, 06, 09, and 12 Form 4219 received without Form 941, process payment using tax information from Form 4219. Use EIN from Form 4219, line two, and tax period from line four. Process payment through RS-PCC as follows: TC 670 MFT 01 Forward Form 4219 to appropriate function 21.1.7.9.6 (12-01-2022) Processing Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request When Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, is received with remittances, process through RS-PCC as follows: Process a copy of page one of Form 9465 as the source document. Process payment with a Transaction Code (TC) 670 unless the Installment Agreement request is for a module with a zero balance and there is a TC 922 or TC 420 indicator. If the installment agreement is for an advanced payment of deficiency, use TC 640. See Exhibit 21.1.7-7, Valid Primary Transaction Code for Remittance Strategy for Payments via Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) Processing. MFT various Forward Form 9465 to Compliance Services Collection Operations (CSCO). See IRM 3.10.72.16.5, Special Handling of Collection Forms - Form 9465, Form 433 Series, and Form 2159, Payroll Deduction Agreement. Exception: If Form 9465 is received with original Form 1040 series detach Form 9465 and write "detached Form 1040" . Make a copy of Form 1040 and process payment with TC 610. Route Form 9465 to CSCO and Form 1040 to Submission Processing. Campus Support should not transship Installment Agreement User Fees to Submission Processing sites, unless they are unable to process the payment through RS-PCC. Apply the full amount of the payment to the taxpayer's account using the appropriate payment Transaction Code. 21.1.7.9.7 (10-01-2021) Processing Automated Collection System (ACS) Payments Automated Collection System (ACS) mail is usually identified upon receipt through the special ACS Post Office box. See IRM 21.1.7.6.13, Sorting and Routing Automated Collection System Mail, (2), for a list of special ACS Post Office Boxes. Sort all imperfect ACS mail with payment with indication of "levy" and route to Payment Perfection. ACS payments can be defined as: Payment received with a Form 668-A, Notice of Levy. Generally, this is a one time garnishment to the taxpayer’s bank account that is sent to the IRS by a financial institution as a third party check. Payment received with a Form 668-W, Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary, and Other Income. These payments are remitted to the IRS through the taxpayer's employer as a third-party check. Levy payment received without a Form 668-A or 668-W addressed to the special ACS Post Office box. Federal Agency Levy payment that are issued on Department of the Treasury checks. Note: If overstamping is necessary, be careful not to obscure the taxpayer's SSN. Third Party payments received with obsolete IRS ACS PO Box addresses that have been forwarded by the United States Post Office to one of the consolidated ACS sites. Treat these payments as if they were received directly in the Consolidated ACS sites PO Box. Follow all the procedures and definitions outlined in this section when processing these payments. Payments received from the taxpayer on a personal check, cashier’s check, or money order and the taxpayer indicates it is intended as an ACS payment. Note: Do not apply a Designated Payment Code (DPC) to a payment received from the taxpayer. Remittance received with notice, form, or correspondence process using the following procedures: Edit the source document with missing information. Annotate source document with the appropriate DPC. See IRM 21.1.7.9.7.1, ACS IDRS Manual Research for Payment Perfection, (6). Make copy of source document and route change of address information and correspondence to the ACS Unit in Collection. Note: If a notice, form, schedule, or correspondence does not require any further handling, do not make a copy. Process the payment with the attached document. For third-party payments received with Forms 668A(C) and 668W(C), 668W(ACS), Notices of Levy, process as follows: Edit DPC 05 and applicable TC. Review multiple period levies to determine appropriate tax period. See IRM 3.8.45.10.4, Automated Collection System (ACS), for more guidance. 21.1.7.9.7.1 (10-01-2021) ACS IDRS Manual Research for Payment Perfection The following subsection provides the definition for ACS payments and instruction in the use of Designated Payment Codes (DPC). This subsection also provides general guidance for manual IDRS research and application of ACS payments. Note: The Integrated Automation Technologies (IAT) TC Search Tool replaced the retired Payment Tracer tool which was mandated. The Transaction Code (TC) Search tool is not mandated but highly recommended for researching payments. Payments received in the ACS PO Box, follow the procedures below: If And Then TIN is not present Research Command Code (CC) NAMEI (IMF) or NAMEB (BMF) to identify the correct TIN. TIN is identified Research CC SUMRY, IMFOL, or BMFOL and apply the payment to the earliest unexpired Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) with an open collection status of 22. If multiple periods with the same CSED date, apply the payment to the earliest tax period. TIN is identified There is no tax period with an open collection status of 22 and CC SUMRY shows modules in status 60 Research CC IADIS to determine the Installment Agreement Locator Number (ALN) see IRM 21.1.7.9.7.1, ACS IDRS Manual Research for Payment Perfection, (3), below. Unable to locate the TIN using NAMEI or NAMEB Make a telephone call using the telephone number on the check or obtain the telephone number from directory assistance. If the TIN is identified, see "TIN is identified" above. TIN is not identified after telephone contact Route to Submission Processing. The ALN appears on the IDRS IADIS screen in the following format: AGREEMENT LOCATOR NO 1234-567890-XXYY The last four positions of the Installment Agreement Locator Number (ALN) determine the actions taken. If Then The payment has an ALN with XX08 Apply payment to the earliest unexpired CSED with a DPC 05. The ALN of 08 that appears in the YY positions is defined as a Continuous Wage Levy, from ACS or a Revenue Officer. The YY position denotes conditions affecting the agreement. The ALN is other than XX08 Apply payment to the earliest unexpired CSED with no DPC. Note: Exhibit 5.19.1-9, ALNs, provides an explanation of the XXYY fields of the ALN. Below are procedures when research shows there is no balance due in Status 22 or 60: If And Then A X-Ref TIN can be found on CC ENMOD or INOLE (disregard a spouse's TIN if the Filing Status is other than "2" ). The X-Ref TIN has a balance due in Status 22 or 60 Apply payment to the X-Ref TIN using the earliest unexpired CSED. There is no X-Ref TIN or the X-Ref TIN does not have a balance due in Status 22 or 60 There is a prior Status 22 module Research the primary TIN first, then the X-Ref TIN if applicable, for the module that was most recently in Status 22. Apply the payment to that module. There is no current or prior Status 22 or 60 modules for the primary or X-Ref TIN Apply payment to the most recent tax module on the primary TIN. Note: DO NOT apply a DPC to a payment received from the taxpayer. If there is no prior "LEVY" category control set, create a control base to ACS through CC ACTON only when using DPC 05. When controlling the account use the correct Control Base Number listed in IRM 21.1.7.6.13 (2), Sorting and Routing Automated Collection System Mail, which is based on Business Operating Division and State mapping. The IAT Tool should be used to determine application of the ACS Payment and assignment of the DPC Code. If the DPC Box in the IAT Tool displays N/A or if No Balance Due Message is displayed, do not enter a DPC Code. In the absence of the IAT Tool, the following table outlines what DPC should be used for each type of ACS payment. Type of ACS Payment DPC Any type of payment received with Form 668-A, Notice of Levy DPC 05 Any type of payment received with Form 668-W, Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary or Other Income DPC 05 Any type of payment received from the taxpayer in response to Form 8519, Taxpayer's Copy of Notice of Levy DPC 15 Federal Agency Levy payments that are issued on Department of the Treasury checks DPC 05 Third Party payment in Status 60 with ALN XX08 received with current or obsolete IRS ACS P.O. Box addresses DPC 05 Third Party payments received not in Status 60 with current or obsolete IRS ACS PO Box addresses DPC 05 Third Party payment in Status 60 without ALN XX08 received with current or obsolete IRS ACS P.O. Box addresses No DPC Payments received from the taxpayer Note: Use DPC 15 whenever a payment is received with Form 8519. No DPC See IRM 3.8.45.10.5, ACS IDRS Manual Research for Payment Perfection, for more guidance 21.1.7.9.8 (09-16-2016) Preparing Payments for Processing Preparing payments for processing: Remove paper clips, all staples, and check stubs from check and document. Green rocker original and make a copy of first page and send copy with remittance. Detach vouchers/stubs, if present, and process as coupon. If a notice voucher/stub is used, ensure the IRS received date is stamped on both the notice and voucher/stub. Place correspondence in basket labeled Correspondence. Edit original return in the upper left corner of the return with a green mark. Make a copy of first page of original return and send copy with remittance. Batch work in batches not to exceed 25 documents. Batch each remittance of $50,000.00 or more by itself in a separate batch. Run a calculator tape totaling the batch and attach to Form 1332-BBTS, Block and Selection Record. Note: If a notice, form, schedule, or correspondence does not require any further handling, do not make a copy. Process the payment with the attached document. Example: Taxpayer returns a notice with a payment, but taxpayer has not written any information on the notice. Do not make a copy of the notice. Process the check using the notice as the source document. To process payments through RS-PCC, verify all payments contain all of the following: Name Control - Document 7071, Name Control Job Aid for Individual Master File (IMF) Taxpayers or Document 7071-A, Name Control Job Aid - For Use Outside of the Entity Area SSN or Employer Identification Number (EIN) One or more Master File Tax (MFT) Code - Exhibit 21.1.7-6, Master File Tax Code IRS received date One or more tax periods One or more remittance One Primary Transaction Code - Exhibit 21.1.7-7, Valid Primary Transaction Code for Remittance Strategy for Payments via Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) Processing Note: Name Control Documents 7071 and 7071A are available for all employees identifying name control. Use the appropriate Designated Payment Code (DPC) with input of TCs 640, 670, 680, 690, 694 and 700 unless the DPC is 00. It is not required to enter DPC 00 into RS-PCC. Use the DPC Codes as follows: TC 640, DPC is 00, 01, 02, 12 or 99 TC 670, DPC is 00 through 11 or 99 TC 670, DPC is 02, 09, 33, 34, or 35 for OIC payments TC 680, DPC is 00, 01, 03, 06, 07 or 99 TC 690, DPC is 00, 01, 03, 06, 07, 09 or 99 TC 694, DPC is 00, 01, 03, 06 or 07 The valid secondary transaction codes for RS-PCC are listed below: TC Description 460 Extension of time for filing 570 Additional Liability Pending and/or credit hold Campus Support access Batch Block Tracking System (BBTS) to obtain a Remittance Processing System Identification (RPSID) number for each batch of work and print Form 1332- BBTS, Block and Selection Record, and Form 9382-BBTS, Batch Transmittal. See Exhibit 21.1.7-14, Generate Remittance Processing System Identification (RPSID) Number, to generate a RPSID number. Category Number Insolvency 000000 (Philadelphia only) Perfect Remittance 000001 - 489999 Discovered Remit 497000 - 499999 OIC 590000 - 599999 (Brookhaven and Memphis only) Payment Perfection (Imperfect Remittance) 610000 - 764999 Imperfect Mis-Directed 790000 - 799999 (Philadelphia, Mail Room Unidentified) Deliver payments with Form 1332-BBTS and Form 9382-BBTS to Remittance Strategy for Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) area for processing. Maintain a log book with the RPSID ranges. This allows the user to know the next range to print for a category. The retention of the logbook is one year after end of the processing year. 21.1.7.9.9 (10-01-2010) Amended Returns and Remittances Received with IRS or Taxpayer Correspondence Make a copy of the form to use as a source document and route the original return to appropriate area for processing. Follow the procedure below for processing the payment: Form MFT DPC TC 941-X 01 24 670/570 943-X 11 24 670/570 944-X 14 24 670/570 945-X 16 24 670/570 1120-X 02 24 670/570 1040 amended, superseding, corrected or revised 30 24 670/570 1040-X 30 24 670/570 21.1.7.9.10 (05-12-2017) Payment Perfection Procedures for Imperfect Payments This section provides general guidance only for Payment Perfection function within Campus Support. The Payment Perfection function within Campus Support performs analysis and research on remittances and returns/documents that require additional preparation prior to depositing money. They ensure all taxpayer information is available to credit taxpayer accounts. Checks for $50,000 and over are identified as a large check and receive priority handling. Process each of these checks by itself in a separate batch through RS-PCC. Exception: When checks of $100 million or more are received, follow the procedures in IRM 21.1.7.9.19, Single Remittances of $100 Million or More. Route all documents that require additional perfection before depositing the money through Remittance Strategy for Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) to Payment Perfection function for IDRS research. See IRM 21.1.7.10.1.12, Checks that Cannot be Processed Through Remittance Strategy for Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC), for payments that cannot be processed through RS-PCC. 21.1.7.9.10.1 (03-05-2024) Processing Payments Received with a 2-D Barcode Notice To protect taxpayer's identity information, the printed SSN on selected taxpayer notices is replaced with a 2-D Barcode. This effort eliminates the full display of taxpayer Social Security numbers on these notices. If Campus Support receives 2-D Barcode notices with a payment, they use the 2-D Barcode Handheld Scanner to scan the notice to identify the taxpayer's social security number. Scanners can be used hand-held or the scanner can be placed in the provided stand. Simply scan the 2-D Barcode by running the notice under the scanner. The following are general instructions for using the scanners: Plug the scanner into the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Port of your computer. Access Microsoft Word or IDRS. A copy of the "Configuration Barcodes For Notices" sheet, usually received with the scanners, is used to obtain the information needed for processing the payment. Scan the appropriate Barcode on the “Configuration Barcodes For Notices” sheet of paper and listen for the beep. After the beep, then scan the 2-D Barcode on the notice. The scanner should beep again and the taxpayer information should appear in the Microsoft Word document on the computer screen, IDRS, or RS-PCC. If the scanner fails to identify the SSN, use Command Code TPIIP. Refer to IDRS Command Codes Job Aid. Command Code TPIIP uses the last four digits of the SSN and the first ten characters of the last name (or less, if there are less than ten characters in the last name) to search for the matching name(s) and address(es). 21.1.7.9.10.2 (10-01-2009) Basic Manual IDRS Research for Payment Perfection Campus Support employees utilize IDRS for research for imperfect payments. This section provides general guidance for only a few basic scenarios relative to Payment Perfection IDRS research. Also, in this section are a few required IDRS research command codes that must be researched in order to apply a payment accurately. This is not an all-inclusive list. It is intended only to provide a basic point to begin payment research. There are situations when more extensive research may be required. Refer to Document 6209, IRS Processing Codes and Information, IDRS Command Codes Job Aid and IRM 3.8.45.4.20, Basic Manual IDRS Research for Payment Perfection, for additional information. Payment received with check only and the only identifying information is the name and address on the check: If Then IMF Research to whom the payment should be applied: Use CC NAMEI and CC NAMES BMF Research to whom the payment should be applied: Use: CC NAMEB and CC NAMEE IMF Determine where (tax period and MFT) and how (transaction codes) the payment should be applied. Use: CC SUMRY to display an index of all tax modules available on IDRS for a SSN. CC TXMODA displays specific tax module amounts on IDRS, dates (including CSED), and a listing of posted and pending transactions. CC IMFOLI to display an index of all tax modules available on Masterfile for an SSN. CC IMFOLT displays specific tax module amounts, dates (including CSED), and a listing of posted transactions. BMF Determine where (tax period and MFT) and how (transaction codes) the payment should be applied. Use: CC SUMRY to display an index of all tax modules available on IDRS for an EIN. CC TXMODA displays specific tax module amounts on IDRS, dates (including CSED), and a listing of posted and pending transactions. CC BMFOLI to display an index of all tax modules available on Master File for an Employer Identification Numbers (EIN). CC BMFOLT displays specific tax module amounts, dates (including CSED), and a listing of posted transactions. Note: If the taxpayer has multiple balances due and does not designate form type and/or tax year, apply the payment to the earliest unexpired CSED date. If multiple tax periods have the same CSED date, apply to the earliest tax period. Payment received and the only information available is the TIN: If Then IMF Use CC ENMOD or CC INOLE to determine necessary entity information. BMF Use CC ENMOD or CC INOLE to determine necessary entity information. IMF Determine where (tax period and MFT) and how (transaction codes) the payment should be applied. Use: CC SUMRY to display an index of all tax modules available on IDRS for a SSN. CC TXMODA displays specific tax module amounts on IDRS, dates (including CSED), and a listing of posted and pending transactions. CC IMFOLI to display an index of all tax modules available for an SSN. CC IMFOLT displays various module amounts and dates (including CSED) along with a listing of posted transactions for the specified tax module. BMF Determine where (tax period and MFT) and how (transaction codes) the payment should be applied. Use: CC SUMRY to display an index of all tax modules available on IDRS for an EIN. CC TXMODA displays specific tax module amounts on IDRS, dates (including CSED), and a listing of posted and pending transactions. CC BMFOLI to display an index of all tax modules available on Master File for an EIN. CC BMFOLT displays specific tax module amounts, dates (including CSED), and a listing of posted transactions. Note: If the taxpayer has multiple balances due and does not designate form type and/or tax year, apply the payment to the earliest unexpired CSED date. If multiple tax periods have the same CSED, date, apply to the earliest tax period. Payment received with TIN, tax period, form, and name of taxpayer: If Then IMF Apply payment to the SSN, tax period, name control, and tax form as indicated. BMF Apply payment to the EIN, tax period, name control, and tax form as indicated. Note: IDRS research is not necessary. Post payment with the appropriate transaction code. See Exhibit 21.1.7-7, Valid Primary Transaction Code for Remittance Strategy for Payments via Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) Processing. 21.1.7.9.10.3 (03-06-2017) Analysis of Payments by Payment Perfection Use taxpayer intent when applying payments. IDRS research is not necessary if the taxpayer has designated: Form type Tax year or multiple tax years TIN (SSN, ITIN or EIN) Name control, and There is no indication the payment is intended as an installment agreement payment. Note: Indications of an installment agreement payment include a form, notice or a letter notating an installment agreement or written words such as installment agreement, installment payment, payment plan or monthly payment. If the taxpayer has clearly designated the application of the payment but has not included all the above information, research IDRS for only the missing information. When the taxpayer has designated multiple tax years, apply the remittance to the earliest one. The payment should split and roll to the appropriate tax period(s). Input remittances designated as "trust fund only" by taxpayer's notation on the remittance input with the appropriate transaction code (TC 640 or 670) and Designated Payment Code (DPC) 02. No research is necessary if a payment is received with the check showing one tax period and the notice shows another tax period and the check is for the amount shown on the notice. Apply the payment to the tax period shown on the notice. If the taxpayer has not clearly designated the application of the payment and has not provided an IRS balance due notice, an in depth review and analysis may be necessary before the payment can be applied accurately. If a payment is received with a non remit form, research the taxpayer's account and apply the payment. See IRM 21.1.7.9.10.2, Basic Manual IDRS Research for Payment Perfection, for research instructions. If a payment is received from a third party and Levy or Garnishment is indicated on the remittance, payment posting voucher or documentation, process the payment following the instructions in IRM 21.1.7.9.7.1, ACS IDRS Manual Research for Payment Perfection. The following steps discuss how to identify and process an installment agreement payment: Generally, taxpayer intent is used when applying payments; however, the taxpayer cannot designate the application of their installment agreement payment. If there is an indication that the payment is for an installment agreement (see note in (1) above), research for the earliest CSED. Exception: If an IRS Balance Due Notice or Letter is provided, use the tax year of the notice/letter. Collection Status Codes Code Identity 12 Full Paid, no Balance Due 20, 21, 56, 58 1st through 4th Notice, Balance Due 22, 24, 26 ACS Balance Due 23 Below Tolerance, Balance due 53 Currently not collectible, Balance Due 60, 61, 63, 64 Installment Agreement, Balance Due 71 OIC Pending 72 Bankruptcy and/or cases in Litigation Note: An expired CSED is one on which the statute date has passed (for example, 08/11/2014 is an expired CSED). Even if there is a balance due, do not apply a payment to a CSED on which the statute date has expired. The earliest CSED is the one that is set to expire first. If the payment is not for an installment agreement (status 60, 61, 63, 64 or 14), refer to the following: Use taxpayer intent when applying payments if the taxpayer has indicated where the payment should be applied and the TIN and name control are present. See IRM 21.1.7.9.10.3, Analysis of Payments by Payment Perfection, (1) above. If there are no modules in balance due status and the payment is not an ACS/Levy payment, then research CC TXMODA or IMFOLT/BMFOLT for the following audit indicators: TC 420, TC 424, "L" Freeze Code. If any of these indicators are present on CC TXMOD/TXMODA or IMFOLT/BMFOLT, apply payment with TC 640 to indicate Audit, various MFTs. Check for CP 2000 indicators: TC 922, "F" Freeze Code, and Campus' URP control number. If present on CC TXMODA or IMFOLT, apply payment with TC 640, MFT 30. Check for Substitute For Return (SFR) indicators, varies at each campus. Apply as TC 640, MFT 30. If research and/or telephone contact with the taxpayer (see IRM 21.1.7.9.10.4, Telephone Contact to Taxpayers,) does not result in the application of the payment, transship the payment to Submission Processing. See IRM 21.1.7.9.11, Preparing Payments for Transshipping. 21.1.7.9.10.4 (10-01-2009) Telephone Contact to Taxpayers If IDRS research fails to identify proper application of a remittance, telephone contact may be made with taxpayers. Maintain strict adherence to disclosure requirements by referring to IRM 11.3, Disclosure of Official Information, prior to taxpayer contact. Take extreme care when speaking to taxpayers or their appropriate officers to obtain information. Identify yourself immediately. Use Federal Telecommunications System 2000 (FTS2000), whenever possible, to contact taxpayers. If the taxpayer asks for any account information, refer them to the toll free number 800-829-1040. If the taxpayer's telephone number is not available on the remittance or document, obtain the telephone number from Directory Assistance (FTS, taxpayer's area code, and 555-1212). Note: FTS is for official Government use only. Make IMF calls after 9 a.m. during normal business hours, unless a specific time was requested. Make BMF calls during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Quality Communications Job Aid provides guidance on the quality of communications and a self-study module. 21.1.7.9.11 (10-01-2011) Preparing Payments for Transshipping Preparing Payments for transshipping: Sort remits by receiving site. Remove all staples from checks and correspondence. Detach vouchers/stubs, if present, and process as coupons. If a notice voucher/stub is used, ensure the IRS received date is stamped on both the notice and voucher/stub. Green rocker original and make copy of first page. Send copy with remittance. Place correspondence in basket labeled Correspondence. Prepare a separate Form 3210, Document Transmittal, for each type of form. Note: If a notice, form, schedule, or correspondence does not require any further handling, do not make a copy. Transship the payment with the attached document. Example: Taxpayer returns an IDRS letter with a payment, but taxpayer has not written any information on the letter. Do not make a copy of the letter. Transship the check and use the letter as the source document. See IRM 21.1.7.12, Transshipping Payments, for additional information. Check to determine if a name and TIN are present on attached correspondence or check. It is not necessary to forward payments for research if a TIN and name are present. The document or envelope can be utilized as the payment source document. Forward these payments to the Form 3210 preparation area for transshipment. If TIN and name are not present, forward to Payment Research area. Payment Preparation area photocopies any correspondence/claims necessary for payment voucher and/or tears off necessary coupons for payment voucher. 21.1.7.9.12 (10-01-2013) Overstamping Overstamp all payee lines "United States Treasury" at the point of extraction, except for the following: U.S. Treasury US Treasury United States Treasury Note: The abbreviation "Treas" is acceptable when used in conjunction with "United States" or "U.S." Internal Revenue Service Department of the Treasury Department of Treasury Note: The abbreviation "Dept." is acceptable when used in conjunction with "Treasury" . Note: If in doubt, overstamp remittance. Caution: Do not overstamp third party checks. If a check is payable to a third party, not endorsed, and the address on the envelope is an IRS address, check the envelope for a stop number or a name of an IRS employee. If the check is for an IRS employee, contact the employee to pick up the check or send the check with Form 3210 to the employee in an addressee only envelope. Note: This stamp is available at each desk and to overstamp on the payee line. See Exhibit 21.1.7-4, Overstamping. 21.1.7.9.13 (02-09-2016) Remittance Not Payable to United States Treasury If remittance is not made payable to the United States Treasury, or one of the acceptable payees listed in Exhibit 21.1.7-4, Overstamping, return the remittance to the taxpayer with Letter 4630. Note: Use only the last 4 digits of the taxpayer’s SSN on Letter 4630. If Then Remittance is not intended as payment for accompanying return/document Process return/document as "non remit" . Return remittance to taxpayer with an explanation of Unacceptable Payment. Remittance and return/document are not for IRS Forward to intended receiver. Items that are addressed to private citizens or businesses and are not intended for the IRS Return to the Post Office with notation "Misdirected to IRS" . Caution: Do not overstamp third party checks. If a check is payable to a third party, not endorsed, and the address on the envelope is an IRS address, check the envelope for a stop number or a name of an IRS employee. If the check is for an IRS employee, contact the employee to pick up the check or send the check with Form 3210 to the employee in addressee only envelope. Caution: Take extreme care to ensure that only the material relative to the taxpayer(s) to which the correspondence is addressed is enclosed in the envelope (see IRM 21.3.3.4.25, Breaches of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Caused by Manual Stuffing Errors). See IRM 21.1.7.6.9, Tax Returns Addressed to IRS Which Should Have Been Filed With State/Local Jurisdictions, if remittance is received with state or local tax return. 21.1.7.9.14 (10-01-2012) Mutilated Checks Mail-opening equipment may mutilate checks during processing. When this occurs, remittance processors tape the check back together and place in a transparent sleeve. Financial institutions determine if a mutilated check may be processed. Note: If unable to process through RS-PCC, transship to Submission Processing Support site. 21.1.7.9.15 (10-01-2014) Government Checks Payment Perfection receives all Government Checks from the Extraction Unit that have been stamped below the "Pay to the order of" line with the following statement: "UNLESS FOR CREDIT TO THE UNITED STATES TREASURY, THIS INSTRUMENT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE". Payment Perfection separates the valid government checks for payment of taxes from the returned refund checks. All remittances where the payee line is made payable to the United States Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Commissioner, Department of the Treasury, Social Security Administration or variations of any agency or department of the United States Government should be construed as a payment to the United States Government. Process the valid government checks for payment of taxes through normal processing. Forward the Returned Refund/Rebate Checks, along with any document(s), to the Refund Inquiry Unit with Form 3210, Document Transmittal. Form 3210 lists the following information from each check: Check Symbol Check Number Amount Note: The check symbol and check number are located in the upper right hand corner of the check. Note: If a returned refund/rebate check is received with a return and the Statute of Limitations is in jeopardy, the Statute Control Group clears the return before being forwarded to Refund Inquiry. If an endorsed returned Refund/Rebate Check accompanies a valid payment of taxes, process as follows: Prepare a posting document for the valid payment of taxes and process through normal processing. Apply the payment to the taxpayer's account with TC 670 and TC 570 or TC 640 with CP 2000. The Supervisor conducts Managerial reviews document at least quarterly to ensure adherence to internal controls for the security of the returned refund checks forwarded to Refund Inquiry on Form 3210. Management may, at their discretion, conduct these managerial reviews at more frequent intervals. The review ensures all Form 3210 sent to Refund Inquiry are received back and acknowledged with a signature from the appropriate Refund Inquiry official. See IRM 21.1.7.6.1, Extraction of Envelope Contents with Remittance, for additional information on return of government checks with indication of ID Theft for Fraud. See IRM 21.1.7.9.25, Non IRS Return Refund Checks, to return non IRS refund checks 21.1.7.9.16 (10-01-2014) Payment Research Area Payment Research researches correspondence and IDRS for identifying information. See IRM 21.1.7.9.10.2, Basic Manual IDRS Research for Payment Perfection. Clerk reviews payments for entity information using the following IDRS command codes.

When processing accompanying return/voucher/notice as the posting document, the following applies: Run a calculator tape totaling the remittances and attach the calculator tape to the front of the document. Ensure the total equals the balance due on the posting document(s). IF Then Remittances and return/document balance due line agree Green rocker balance due line. Money amounts disagree and the balance due is only partially paid Edit the remittance amount in green to the left of the balance due line. Money amounts disagree and the balance due is overpaid Edit remittance amount in green to the left of the balance due line. Edit "M" and the number of remittances in the upper left hand corner of all remittances and the document. If a payment posting document is needed, photocopy the original correspondence to forward with the payment. Send the original correspondence to the appropriate business function. A split remittance is one remittance received with more than one return/document and/or more than one tax period. If Then Remittance and return/documents balance due lines agree Green rocker balance due lines. Money amounts disagree Apply remittance amount to returns/documents from oldest to most current tax period. Note: If the taxpayer provides directions, the payment is applied in accordance with those directions unless it is an installment agreement payment. See IRM 21.1.7.9.10.3, Analysis of Payments by Payment Perfection, (4). After application of remittance, a return/document is only partially paid Edit the remittance amount in green to the left of the balance due line of the partial paid return/document. (If no amount of the remittance is applied to a return/document, do not edit.) After application of remittance, the total of the balance dues on the return/document is overpaid Apply excess remittance to the oldest tax period, edit remittance amount in green to the left of the balance due line. Split remittance Edit "S" and number of returns/documents in upper left corner of remittances and returns/documents. Prepare adding machine tape for each Multi/Split return/document edited amount and total. On the same tape list, check amounts and total. Verify that both totals are equal. Attach adding machine tape to front of the first return/document. Campus Support began to process multiple/split remittances through RS-PCC on December 20, 2010. Splits and Multis may be combined if more than one return or document is received with more than one remittance. This is called a complex split. If Then Remittance equals return/documents balance due lines Green rocker the amounts on the returns and documents. Remittance is greater than return/documents balance due lines Apply the excess to the return or document with the oldest tax period. Remittance is less than return/documents balance due lines Subtract the difference from the most current tax period and process any remaining returns or documents as non-remit. Edit "M" and the number of remittances in the upper left hand corner of both the remittances and returns/documents. Edit "S" and the number of returns/documents in upper left corner of both the remittances and returns/documents. Prepare an adding machine tape totaling all the remittances, then another adding machine tape totaling all the returns/documents. Verify both totals are equal. Attach the tapes to the front of the first document. 21.1.7.9.22 (04-19-2012) Bill of Exchange If a Bill of Exchange or Registered Bill of Exchange is received from a taxpayer authorizing the campus to settle their account through Fedwire, send everything received to the following address: Department of the Treasury Office of Executive Secretary 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Room 3413 Washington, DC 20220 Complete Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service, and check "Next Day Air" and "Remittances and Payments" boxes.

If you receive one of these checks, do not process. Checks marked "not for deposit" are not negotiable. Forward the non-negotiable instruments with Form 3210, Document Transmittal, to the Frivolous Filer Unit at the address below: Internal Revenue Service 1973 Rulon White Blvd. MS 4450 Ogden UT 84201 21.1.7.9.29 (05-29-2024) Questionable Payments Campuses are receiving questionable remittances that resemble checks and money orders. In most cases, these remittances show the taxpayer and the "United States Bureau of Internal Revenue" as payees. The bogus remittances may include other identifying characteristics. DO NOT PROCESS ANY REMITTANCES CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: Unusual or no financial organization name. If U.S. Treasury, UST, Bureau of Fiscal Service, or BFS is printed as the financial institution with the 1500 Pennsylvania Ave address. Monetary instruments printed on check quality paper or photocopying paper Monetary instruments that reference Title 31 United States Code (USC) 371. No bank routing information. (All American checks have a nine digit number surrounded by symbols |:|:,e.g., |:123456789|:.). If the TP’s TIN (SSN or EIN) is in use where the routing number should be. A lien number. The words "Certified Bankers Check" , "Public Office Money Certificate" , "Certified Documentary Draft" , "Lien Draft" , "Certified Money Certificate" , "“Do Not Deposit”, “Not for Deposit”, “For Set off/Adjustment/Discharge”, “EFT only for discharge of Debt”, “Comptroller Warrant" , “Remit at Par”, and “Done in Good Faith”, VOID where prohibited by law, Apply to principle at settlement closure, Payable at Presentment -Form 809 Request., Bank or Financial Institution does not exist or has gone out of business. No magnetic encoding. A sight/site draft that requires a service charge to process. Non-negotiable remittances such as a Lien draft, Certified Banker's Check, Public Office Money Certificate, Certified Documentary Draft, Comptroller Warrant and/or Certified Money Certificate. Personal checks drawn on the Federal Reserve Bank or any Federal Agency. The Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Agencies do not offer personal checking accounts. A large majority of the bogus remittances are received by "Certified" or "Registered" mail. They may be accompanied by the following documents: A letter requesting a refund for overpayment or the taxpayer renouncing their U.S. citizenship. A document titled "WARRANT PROCESSING PROCEDURES" has been attached to several of the bogus remittances. THIS IS NOT A LEGAL OR VALID DOCUMENT. DO NOT PROCESS A REMITTANCE BECAUSE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE WARRANT PROCESSING PROCEDURES. Check correspondence for like terms as in f) above. Upon receipt of a suspicious remittance, process using the following procedures. Avoid removing evidence, lifting finger or palm prints. Handle the remittance, envelope and any correspondence as little as possible. Place remittance in a check saver. If there is any doubt about the legitimacy of a payment, immediately contact your manager, who must then contact the Remittance Security Coordinator. The Remittance Security Coordinator should then determine if they should contact the Frivolous Return Program (FRP) or the local Office of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) in your Campus. Do not contact the taxpayer, payer, banking institution or remitter indicated on the remittance to ascertain if the item is legitimate or not. Do not refer or discuss the questionable remittance with anyone or any Agency outside the IRS. This includes supplying photocopies or faxing the item to anyone other than an authorized IRS employee. In the event the Frivolous Return Program chooses not to pursue the matter, return the phony remittance to the taxpayer using Letter 4630. Note: Use only the last four digits of the taxpayer’s SSN on Letter 4630. In addition to including the remittance in the letter, state the Campus' Director or delegated IRS employee who has the authority to refuse acceptance of a remittance if there is doubt that it would be honored upon presentation to a financial institution. The appropriate definition is included as the basis for return of the remittance. Do not issue Form 809, Receipt for Payment of Taxes, for questionable or known bogus remittance. If the remittance is deemed credible and returned to the site for processing, Form 809 may be issued at that time. Prepare Form 3210, Document Transmittal, for any questionable payment referred to the Frivolous Return Program. Annotate on Form 3210 the taxpayer's name, TIN, type of payment (i.e., check, draft, money certificate), payment amount, Tax Form, Tax Year, Received Date, and/or any other pertinent information concerning the payment. Mail the questionable payment package with Form 3210, Document Transmittal, to the Ogden Service Center FRP team at: Internal Revenue Service 1973 N. Rulon White Blvd. MS 4450 Ogden UT 84201 See IRM 25.25.10.3, Referrals to Frivolous Return Program, for additional information. 21.1.7.9.30 (10-09-2019) Department of Justice/Criminal Restitution Program Payments Campus Support may receive Department of Justice Criminal Restitution Payments. The checks are United State Treasury checks. The top of the check has a statement "US District Court" . Department Of Justice (DOJ) Criminal Restitution Payments are be processed at Kansas City. Criminal restitution payments received at Campus Support sites are be transshipped through overnight traceable mail to the following address: Internal Revenue Service ATTN: DOJ/Criminal Restitution Stop 6261 P-6 333 West Pershing Rd. Kansas City MO 64108 21.1.7.9.31 (10-01-2014) Petitioning United States Tax Court If Campus Support receives a payment made payable to Clerk, United State Tax Court in the amount of $60.00 and the taxpayer is petitioning the court, route the check and all attachment to the following address: United States Tax Court 400 Second Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20217 21.1.7.10 (08-31-2017) Over the Counter Channel Application (OTCnet) The Over the Counter Channel Application (OTCnet) financial service is a secure, web-based system that converts paper checks (personal and business) into electronic debits to the check writer’s account. OTCnet sends captured check data to Debit Gateway at the Federal Reserve Bank Cleveland (FRB-C), who then sends the data to the appropriate Financial Institutions (FIs) either through Federal Reserve System's Automated Clearing House (ACH) System (FedACH) for personal checks or Check 21 for non-personal checks, where the check was written. The process is highly automated and greatly improves the collection, reconciliation, research and reporting processes associated with Federal Agency check collections. OTCnet is comprised of three elements: Administration Check Capture, Check Processing and Reporting Deposit Processing and Reporting The Administration element is a component of the Check Capture, Check Processing and Reporting as well as Deposit Processing and Reporting. The Administration function supports Check Capture, Check Processing and Reporting as well as Deposit Processing and Reporting. Check Capturing, Check Processing converts personal and business checks into electronic fund transfers. Transactions can be a consumer, consumers accounts receivable, and business transactions. Deposit Processing permits Federal agencies the ability to create and submit deposits for confirmation. This platform also allows for Financial Institutions to confirm those deposits and create adjustments electronically. The operator takes the completed check and inserts it into the Point of Sale scanner. The scanner reads the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line on the bottom of the check and captures the image of the check into the POS computer. The bank account information that is captured from the MICR line is transmitted to the Fiscal Service for processing. The paper check is no longer sent to the bank. For checks processed through OTCnet, the agency destroys the check. The scanned checks are held for two months following deposit of checks before shredding the checks. Exception: If the Electronic Federal Payment Posting System (EFPPS) has unresolved errors, the checks and vouchers are not destroyed until errors have been corrected. The checks are not shredded until the Reconciliation Report Deposit Ticket Summary shows the checks have been Transmitted for Archival or no longer available on the report. If Ogden Submission Processing requests additional information, Campus Support responds within 24 hours. The check image is forwarded and stored for seven years in OTCnet. You can search the check images as well as the check capture and transaction data throughout the CIRA (Check Image and Research Archive) Query feature within OTCnet. The financial information captured from the MICR line is transmitted to the Fiscal Service. The Fiscal Service processes the transaction through the ACH network or the Check 21 network, depending on the initial agency set up. The Fiscal Service makes TRS entries, and provides the electronic OTCnet Deposit Ticket (SF-215) and debit voucher (returns SF-5515) for IRS retrieval. 21.1.7.10.1 (05-20-2020) Processing Payments via Remittance Strategy for Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC) Campus Support processes perfect payments using RS-PCC. RS-PCC interfaces with Electronic Federal Payment Posting System (EFPPS) that enables Campus Support to electronically process paper remittances at the point of receipt. The checks are scanned; taxpayer accounts are debited by Fiscal Service; and the posting information is sent to EFPPS for account posting. Exception: Insolvency, Mis-Directed, and OIC payments received at the Philadelphia, Brookhaven, Memphis, Andover, and Atlanta Campuses are scanned through Over the Counter Channel Application (OTCnet). The web-based system has the capability to process split checks (one check to multiple tax modules), multiple checks (multiple checks to one or more tax modules), secondary/tertiary transactions, perform key verification, and entity validation. RS-PCC payments are identified on IDRS by the literal EFT- TRACE and a DLN beginning with the number "81," "82" or "83."

If a payment is received with a letter with or without a stub and the letter does not indicate a balance due, apply the payment with TC 670/570 except the letters listed in the table above with TC 640. If a payment is received with a letter with or without a stub and the letter indicates a balance due, apply the payment with TC 670 except for letters listed above. Note: See Exhibit 21.1.7-8, Master File Forms and Schedules Payments Processing Table, Exhibit 21.1.7-9, Master File CP Notices Payments Processing Table, and Exhibit 21.1.7-10, Master File Letters Processing Table, for additional forms, letters, and notices. Note: If an original return is received with a CP notice, process the payment by inputting TC 610. Campus Support is responsible for taking steps to deposit checks as follows: Scan payment checks. Populate all the fields identified with an asterisk (*) next to the field name, after check is successfully scanned; Verify the information on Form 3244 with the preparer, if there is a discrepancy in the check and corresponding form. Attach a calculator tape to the batch RPSID Sheet totaling the number of checks and dollar amount. Users verify the calculator tape with total payments processed and the Batch Listing before completing the batch to ensure all payments are scanned. If a payment cannot be processed, users update the calculator tape (using a red pen) and document the RPSID Sheet. The manager or designated approver initial the change before checking complete and sending the batch for key verification. See IRM 3.17.278.12.13, RS-PCC Key Verification (KV), for KV instructions. Transmit check information daily to the OTCnet via the RS-PCC System. Retrieve the 215 Deposit Ticket information from OTCnet each day for the prior day’s scanned checks. Balance the deposit information with the scanned checks and the EOD Report. Balance 215 Deposit Ticket daily using EOD. Note: All successfully scanned checks are stamped with "Electronically Presented" or "Electronically Processed" . If a check is not electronically stamped, manually stamp the check. Sites using a Canon scanner display this stamp on the back of the check. Note: If any checks cannot successfully be scanned via RS-PCC and "Electronically Presented" or "Electronically Processed" is stamped on the checks, line through "Electronically Presented" or "Electronically Processed" with a red pen. Be careful not to line through any information needed to manually process the checks. Transship the checks overnight with a separate Form 3210, Document Transmittal, and notate that the checks could not be processed through RS-PCC. Campus Support identifies questionable remittances. See IRM 21.1.7.9.29, Questionable Payments. See IRM 21.1.7.10.1.12, Checks that Cannot be Processed Through Remittance Strategy for Paper Check Conversion (RS-PCC), for a list of payments that cannot be processed through RS-PCC. Campus Support management monitors workload to determine if transshipment is necessary. Before transshipping payments to Submission Processing, contact AM Headquarter Campus Support Analyst and Submission Processing (SP) Headquarter RS-PCC Analyst with the IRS received date and the volume of checks being transshipped. When RS-PCC is down, notify Accounts Management (AM) Headquarter Campus Support Analyst and Submission Processing (SP) Headquarter RS-PCC Analyst immediately. If RS-PCC is down for more than one day, transship payments to Submission Processing after contacting AM Headquarter Campus Support Analyst and Submission Processing (SP) Headquarter RS-PCC Analyst with the volume of checks being transshipped and the IRS received date. Notify the SP site prior to transshipping payments. Provide them with the number of payments, IRS received date and the date the payments are scheduled for transshipping. 21.1.7.10.1.1 (03-05-2024) Processing Payments (Payment Entry) Campus Support is responsible for taking steps to deposit checks as follows: Upon receiving a batch, the users count the checks and verify them against the attached calculator tape totaling the number of checks and dollar. If a payment cannot be processed, users update the calculator tape (using a red pen) and document the RPSID Sheet. The manager or designated approver initials the change before processing any payments in the batch. Payments are batched with 1 - 25 remittances per batch with RPSID Sheet with the same received date can be combined into a single batch of no more than 25. After successfully logging into the RS-PCC RL II application, from the RS-PCC RL II Home Page, click “Payment Entry”. On the Payment Entry Menu, the operator chooses New Batch button. This allows the operator to input the check information for processing. The operator visually verifies that all checks are scanned properly, that the entire front of the check image is visible on the screen, and that the dollar amount is legible before scanning the next check or signing out of the batch. Verify the information on the payment posting document with the preparer if there is a discrepancy in the check and corresponding form. Input the Received Date from the payment source document (MMDDYYYY) and RPSID number from the RPSID Sheet. Both numbers carry through on the rest of that batch. If a payment in the batch has a different received date, you can change the Received Date on the Payment Entry Screen to the correct date. The operator chooses if the remittances is processed as a Single, Multi or a Split payment: Single Payment – one payment to one transaction Multi Payment – more than one payment to one transaction Split payment – one payment applied to more than one transaction or taxpayer Each payment consists of a remittance and transaction section. In the single mode, both sections are available on the same page view. In a Multi/Split mode the remittances and transaction sections are displayed on separate pages. Click “Scan Check” button to activate the scanner. A green light on the scanner indicates that it is ready to receive checks. The scanner automatically flips the check and scans the back. The check image appears on the screen. Ensure the check is readable. The remittance is placed in the scanner with the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line of the check face up, aligned with the right side of the scanner. The MICR line is the bank routing number, account, and check number found on the bottom of the check. Gently push the check forward to allow the scanner to grasp the check. When encountering scanner errors, operator should re-scan the check once or twice. The Clear Scanner button releases the check and clears the captured code line and image, allowing the operator to re-scan the check. Example of scanning errors: If the image of the check is skewed, this type of error requires manual visual inspection and correction. RS-PCC may not display an error message, but the operator should re-scan the check if a potential problem exists with the image. When the MICR line is displayed in red, correct it immediately. When the scanner cannot read any or all of the MICR code line and the failure persists, the user verifies the check is not from a Foreign Bank. If it’s not, the user corrects the MICR Line. Refer to IRM 3.17.278-4, MICR Line Symbols. To correct the MICR line code, the entry operator is responsible to: Re-type the complete MICR Line Replace the MICR symbol with the correct code. Each of the symbols that are before and after the routing number, account number, and check number represents either a “T”, “O”, “A” or “D”. See IRM 3.17.278-4, MICR Line Symbols. Once the operator has corrected the MICR Line, they continue to input the payment information. The completed RS-PCC batch is systemically forwarded to allow the Supervisor User to review, approve or reject the MICR line entry. Note: If the scanner Cannot Read the Payment Image, or RS-PCC does not accept the MICR error correction, see IRM 21.1.7.10.1.1, Processing Payments (Payment Entry), (11). If it is determined that the payment can’t be processed, remove payment. The manager or designated approver then initial the change before processing any other payments in the batch. Input the fields needed to process a payment: IRS Received Date (MMDDYYYY) RPSID Check Amount Name Control TIN Master File Tax Code (MFT) Tax Period (YYYYMM) Amount 1 (Transaction Amount) TC 1 (Primary Transaction Code) Designated Payment Code (DPC) Amount 2 (Transaction Amount) TC 2 (Secondary Transaction Code) Amount 3 (Transaction Amount) TC 3 (Tertiary Transaction Code) RPSID Range: Insolvency (000000) Perfect Remittance (000001 - 489999) Payment Perfection Remittance (610000 - 769999) Discovered Remittance (497000 - 499999) Imperfect Misdirected Unidentified (790000 - 799999) Once the operator has clicked “Finish” to close the batch, they have the option of either printing the Batch Listing, Completing the Batch, or Editing the Batch using the following icons: List Payment - to edit the batch Print - print the batch listing Print and Complete – print the batch listing and the batch processes to the next status (Ready for KV or Approval) Compete – the batch processes to the next status (Ready for KV or Approval) The operator verifies that the total checks and Dollars on the Batch Listing total the calculator tape and the total checks. The operator correctly records the total checks and dollar amount on the RPSID Sheet as follows: Payment Input: (your SEID) 12 cks $xxxx.xx If you need to correct an error or delete a payment, click List Payment and navigate within the list payment screen to correct or delete the payment. Click on Finish again to close the batch. To complete the batch, click on Print and Complete. This completes the batch and prints the Batch List. See IRM 3.17.278-8, RS-PCC Batch Listing. The Batch List Report shows all transactions included in the batch. The report consists of the detail and summary pages and changes the status of the batch to Ready for Key Verification if it is printed after clicking Complete Batch. If there was a MICR Line correction or Duplicate check issues during the processing of the batch, the batch goes to Awaiting Approval Status. The supervisor approves the batch before it goes to Ready for Key Verification. Supervisor receives an email alert that a batch of work needs approval. Supervisor logs on to RS-PCC, from the front page click on “Awaiting Approval” and then find and make the approvals on the batch before it goes to “Ready for Key Verification”. Review the MICR Line Approval: Approve - Promotes the check to the Saved status and then displays the Check Approval List page. Delete - Deletes the payment containing the check and then displays the Check Approval List page. The Approver has the ability to edit the MICR line prior to approval if it is determined that the original edit was not correct. Check Detail displays the Check Detail page for the currently displayed check. If there were corrections, Supervisor receives an email alert that a batch of work needs approval. Supervisor logs onto RS-PCC and then click on the Batch Management tab from the Batch Management page click on Awaiting Approval then find the batch and make the approvals on the batch before it goes to Ready for Key Verification. Note: If the Approval of the MICR Line or Duplicate Check deletes the payment, the manager or designated approver updates the RPSID Sheet with new counts and amounts, the calculator tape with the change and initial the change. The scanner manually recounts the non-cash remittances and reconcile that number against the number of entries on the batch listing. In addition, the scanner manually totals the dollar amounts from each non-cash remittance and match it against the Batch Listing. Record the total number of non-remits scanned and dollar amounts on the RPSID Sheet with the approver’s SEID. Compile the following for the RS-PCC Reviewer (Key Verifier): Update the RPSID Sheet with total payments and dollar amount Printed Batch Listing Ready for KV Posting documents Remittance 21.1.7.10.1.2 (09-16-2016) MICR Line Approval/Duplicate Check Approval If there was a MICR Line correction or a Duplicate check issue during the processing of the batch, the batch goes to Awaiting Supervisor Approval status. The supervisor approves the batch before it goes to Ready for Key Verification (KV). The Supervisor receives an email alert that a batch of work needs approval. The Supervisor logs on to RS-PCC and click on Batch Management tab, then click on Awaiting Supervisor Approval. The User then finds the batch and make the approvals on the batch before it goes to Ready for Key Verification. Note: Approval officials are unable to perform Key Verification on the batch that contains the MICR correction. Review MICR Line Approval: Approve – Promotes the check to the Saved status and then displays the Check Approval List page. Delete – Deletes the payment containing the check and then displays the Check Approval List page. Check Detail – Displays the Check Detail page for the currently displayed check. Note: If the Approval of the MICR Line or Duplicate Check deletes the payment, the manager or designated approver updates the RPSID Sheet and calculator tape with the change and initial the change. 21.1.7.10.1.3 (09-16-2016) RS-PCC Key Verification (KV) ) The operators perform quality review on payments through an electronic method called Key Verification (KV). All batches are Key Verified before they can be transmitted to OTCnet for deposit. The KVer must count the payments in the batch prior to KVing the batch and document the RPSID Label. To KV a batch the operator selects the Key Verification Tab from the RS-PCC home page. This displays a list of all available batches that are “Ready for Key Verification” and “In Key Verification”. To KV a batch, the operator selects a batch with the status “Ready for Key Verification”. The operator cannot KV any batches if they were the Approver or the Entry Operator. Therefore, those batches are not be displayed when they are key verifying. Note: RS-PCC users “cannot key verify” their own work if they have either processed or approved the payment. Once the batch is selected, the status changes to “In Key Verification”. There are two types of KV views depending on the type of payments: The single payment KV process view; remittance and transaction information on the same screen. The multi/split KV process view, remittance and transaction information in different pages. Payments are key verified in the order they were entered. The operator takes the physical check and enters the amount directly from the check. The operator enters the data for each payment field selected for KV into the KV edit pages. The operator corrects any errors encountered during KV. Note: Fields that are pre-populated can be edited by the key verifier if the information is not correct. When corrections are made during key verification to the original dollar ($) amount or SSN/EIN and name control, the batch requires Supervisor Approval before it goes to deposit. When the last payment in the batch is displayed, the Finish button is enabled. After entering all of the KV data in the current item, the operator selects the Finish button, and the system performs additional validation for the payments in the batch, and then saves the data. Upon completion of the KV process, the batch status is changed to “Ready for Deposit”. If there are no issues, the batch is sent to “Transmitting for Deposit”. If it did not fail during transmit, the batch processes to “Sent for Deposit” and be sent to OTCnet. The RS-PCC Batch Payment List is displayed after a batch is completed for KV. The report displays the batch status at the time it was requested. Any changes made during KV are reflected on this report. Click on the Print button on the menu bar to print the Ready for Deposit Listing. Note: If a payment is deleted during Key Verification. The manager or designated approver updates the RPSID Sheet and calculator tape with the change and initial the change. 21.1.7.10.1.4 (09-16-2016) Dollar Amount Approval/SSN/EIN and Name Control Approval If corrections are made during key verification to the original $ amount OR SSN/EIN and name control, the batch moves to Awaiting Supervisor Approval status once the key verifier operator finishes key verifying the batch. Manager/Lead or authorized designee are required to verify the correction(s) made by the key verifier operator before approving the batch for deposit. After the batch is approved the batch status moves to Ready for Deposit. The batch listing Ready for Deposit provides the original entries made by the scanner operator and key verifier operator. All corrections made by the key verifier operator and approval operator are now identified on the new batch listing Ready for Deposit. 21.1.7.10.1.5 (09-16-2016) RS-PCC Balancing All RS-PCC batch of remittance, scanned and key verified, MUST be balanced daily. The Manager or authorized designee balances their previous day’s work using the following: End of Day Report (EOD) for the date the batch was scanned and/or key verified. For additional information, see IRM 21.1.7.10.1.6, RS-PCC End of Day (EOD) Reports. The 215 Deposit Ticket Report for the next business day after the batch was scanned and key verified. See IRM 3.17.278.12.17.2, 215 Deposit Ticket, IRM 3.17.278-7, RS-PCC End of Day Report, and IRM 3.17.278-10, OTCnet-OTC ELVIS 215 Report. The Manager/Lead or authorized designee compares the 215 Deposit Ticket Report to the EOD Report from the prior business day to ensure all scanned checks were deposited. You have balanced if the information from the 215 Deposit Ticket Report (transaction date, check count, and dollar amount by operator SEID) matches with the End of Day Report (Operator Listing). It could have more than one day of scanned checks. When the check count and dollar amount, by operator SEID, for the transaction date on the 215 Deposit Ticket Report DO NOT balance with the EOD Report “Operator Listing”, Manager/Lead or authorized designee reviews the state of the batch on the EOD Report. Note: The 215 Deposit Ticket Report provides a summary total by operator SEID and transaction date for batches that went to deposit. If information on the EOD Report (Operator Listing) by operator SEID (check count and dollar amount) do not match with the information on the 215 Deposit Ticket, you need to add the dollar amount and check number for only those batched with “Acknowledgement” status to balance. Sometime batches with “Transmitting for Deposit” and “Sent for Deposit” status are listed on the 215 Deposit Ticket Report. Manager/Lead or authorized designee is required to update, RPSID Sheet with the batch 215 Deposit Ticket date. The Manager/Lead or authorized designee’s responsibility is to determine what batches were not processed through to OTCnet. When there is a discrepancy discovered during balancing, the Manager/Lead or authorized designee determines which checks were not deposited, the state of the batch, and what corrective action is required. Reason for any discrepancy is listed on the RPSID Sheet and the Batch Listing. The batches state on the EOD Report DOES NOT confirm that the batch went for deposit. The 215 Deposit Ticket Report is the only Official Deposit Report for RS-PCC. Batches that failed to process through to the OTCnet are systemically placed in the following states on the EOD Report: Failed During Transmit Failed to Transmit The batch that “Failed During Transmit” or “Failed to Transmit” is NOT on the 215 Deposit Ticket. Manager/Lead or authorized designee is required to re-transmit the batch for deposit. Once the batch is re-transmitted for the deposit, Manager/Lead or authorized designee monitors the state of the batch to ensure the batch state is acknowledged. If the batch state is “Failed to Transmit” or “Failed During Transmit” again Manager/Lead or authorized designee emails the RS-PCC Team at &TS CAS:SP:ATP:EP:RSPCC, with a copy to the AM CS Analyst. Batches that were systemically stalled in the RS-PCC workflow can be in the following states: Ready for Deposit Sent for Deposit Transmitted for Deposit Batches in these states are displayed in the EOD report. When this occurs it is possible the batch did not go to Fiscal Service for deposit and is not on the 215 Deposit Ticket. If the batch is not on the 215 Deposit Ticket the Manager/Lead or authorized designee emails the RS-PCC Team at &TS CAS:SP:ATP:EP:RSPCC with a copy to the AM CS Analyst. 21.1.7.10.1.6 (09-16-2016) RS-PCC End of Day (EOD) Reports The EOD Report allows the Manager/Lead or authorized designee to monitor and review payment activity on a daily basis. The EOD Report provides the state of the batches in the RS-PCC workflow. Users with Supervisor or HQ Analyst access can order the EOD Report.

One copy remains with the voucher block and one copy is associated with the tax class total page. Print the tax class total page at the end of each day of work to show all work entered using CC PAYMT. Balance CC PAYMT input tax class totals. Information on payment transactions input through IDRS feeds into the end of day (EOD 2421) Area Office Remittance Register (AORR) report. Balance tax class totals by comparing dollar total of PYBAL to totals from tax class page. Any variances are reconciled. Separate and balance payment by tax class. Enter tax class totals on Form 813-A, Recapitulation of Document Register, by tax class. Balance Form 813-A, Recapitulation of Document Register, for each Julian date. Notify Ogden Accounting If there are any deposit or posting discrepancies identified using Form 2424. Send vouchers that cannot be processed via CC PAYMT, such as Non-Master File (NMF), to Ogden Accounting for input. Ogden prepares the Form 813, Document Register. These are called manuals and do not feed into the Area Office Remittance Register (AORR) EOD 2421. Campus Support provides a copy of the vouchers that could not be processed through IDRS to CIO. Retain vouchers until the end of month. After suspense account is balanced, forward to Ogden Files.

Bank of America creates a pseudo deposit ticket and insolvency voucher report. Bank of America sends the deposit ticket and insolvency voucher file report to the IRS Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) in Memphis. The IRS system administrator forwards the insolvency voucher file to the Centralized Insolvency Operation in Philadelphia. The IRS RRACS system receives Federal Reserve Bank credits for the trustee payments and journals them to the suspense account. Insolvency Payment Unit posts payments to Automated Insolvency System (AIS), allocates and generates vouchers, substitute Forms 3244, Payment Posting Voucher. These vouchers are balanced to the check and forwarded to Campus Support. Utilizing CC PAYMT, Campus Support enters voucher information into IDRS applying credit to the taxpayer's account. See IRM 21.1.7.10.4.2.1, Posting Checks to Taxpayer Accounts. Note: A Trustee Plan Payment Log may be used in lieu of the individual substitute Form 3244. The log is an automated report which includes all information shown on a Form 3244 and automatically blocks the payments and totals the block as noted in (3) below. IDRS generates an end of day Remittance Register report. The report lists all payment transactions input by Campus Support on a given date. The report is used by RRACS to balance the suspense account for that particular deposit. RRACS generates a report. If the deposit does not balance, any differences are resolved with Campus Support. 21.1.7.10.4.5 (10-01-2020) Processing Form 8802 User Fee Payments via Paper Check Conversion (PCC) Philadelphia Campus Support uses the Paper Check Conversion system (PCC) to process Form 8802, Application for United States Residency Certification user payments. See IRM 3.17.278, Paper Check Conversion (PCC) and Remittance Check Conversion (RS-PCC) Systems, for additional information. The PCC system scans checks and automates the receipt, acceptance, transferring, and recording of funds. These checks must be scanned within three days. Paper checks are not sent to the bank but are shredded after 14 days. A shredder is located within the unit where the scanned checks are securely stored. Philadelphia Campus Support clerks opens the Form 8802 user fee mail each morning. They count the volume of checks and place that information in the designated basket with a Form 3210, Document Transmittal. (Campus Support opens all mail, this inventory included. The Campus Support clerk prepares this Form 3210 and leaves it in the basket for the United States Residency Certification (USRC) clerk to pick up) Note: When the Form 3210 acknowledgment copy is received, attach to sender’s copy and file in the designated area. Form 3210 is retained for one year per Form 3210, Document Transmittal, Retention. United States Residency Certification (USRC) remittance clerks retrieve the checks from the designated area and review the Forms 3210 to ensure the check count is correct. Once the check count is verified, they sign the Form 3210 and leave it in the designated area. USRC remittance clerks bring the checks, Forms 8802, and all attached documentation to the USRC user fee processing area and date stamp each Form 8802. Checks without a Form 8802 or voucher slip are researched by the designated USRC remittance clerks to determine if it is a supplemental user fee payment. If so, process following established procedures. If it is not a USRC user fee payment, follow the procedures in IRM 3.8.46.1, Discovered Remittances. Checks that are drawn on foreign banks cannot be processed through PCC. USRC remittance clerks void the check and contact the customer to request a payment be made from a U.S. financial institution.

See IRM 21.1.7.14, Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service, for additional information. Notate the type of work on Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service, at the top and type of remit (e.g., Monitored Offers in Compromise (MOIC) COIC, ACS, etc.), at the bottom of the form. Notate the box number on Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service. Ensure all envelopes have an attached Form 3210, Document Transmittal. Check for folder in each box. Total the volume of all Forms 3210, within the folder and notate on the outside of the folder. Ensure the boxes are addressed to the correct campus. See Exhibit 21.1.7-1. Campus Address. Give Form 9814 to the manager daily to ensure that an email is sent to all campuses with the appropriate tracking numbers and volumes of the daily shipments. 21.1.7.14 (10-08-2015) Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service, is required when sending packages weighing more than 13 ounces to a taxpayer, business, or IRS office. It is also required for all IRS locations where designated mailroom personnel create shipping labels or place postage on packages. There are four areas that must be completed: Sender, Recipient, Type of Delivery, and Authorization. The United States Postal Service (USPS) is used to send all correspondence and packages going to taxpayers. Form 9814 is not required for Registered/Certified Mail and First-Class Mail pieces weighing 13 ounces or less. This form is required when using the USPS (i.e., Priority Mail) to mail packages weighing more than 13 ounces to a taxpayer. When shipping packages weighing more than 13 ounces between IRS offices or other business locations, Small Package Carrier (SPC) services are more cost efficient. Ground service is the primary and preferred shipping method. Ground shipments do not require a justification, and offer a tracking number and a guaranteed delivery date. The use of any air delivery service, such as 2nd Day Air or Next Day Air, requires a selection in the Check Justification for Air Delivery area. The Authorization area requires a printed name and signature of the individual requesting the service. Note: When using an SPC, the information provided is input into an SPC system. Invoices and justifications for Air Delivery Services are routinely reviewed by IRS officials when billing statements are received for payment. Form 9814, Request for Mail/Shipping Service, can be destroyed after one year, per Document 12829, General Records Schedules, General Records Schedule (GRS) 12 - Communications Records item number 5 a.

Folders contain the original source documents used by Accounts Management and Compliance employees after inputting transactions to IDRS. Separate folders are used by employees for each type of input (Doc 54, 47, credit transfers, TC 930, SS4, etc.). Process as follows: Remove folders from carts, boxes, etc. Sort the folders by type (e.g., Doc 54, 47, etc.). Prepare Form 3210, Document Transmittal, for each input date noted on the folders. Form 3210 reflects the input date, range of employee numbers, and type of folder. Box input dates separately. Notate the name of the sending site on the outside of the box. Notate the input date on the box. Attach mailing label. Mail to the appropriate Submission Processing Files. See Exhibit 21.1.7-3, Campus Files Address, for File's address. To facilitate timely shelving of source documents, areas send source document folders to the Submission Processing Files Function within five days of input. 21.1.7.15.2 (10-01-2007) Distribute Returns/Documents Campus work areas may request documents via IDRS input or Form 2275, Records Request, Charge and Recharge. After the applicable Campus Files site or Federal Records Center service fulfills the document request, the documents are forwarded to Campus Support for distribution. Process as follows: Determine the originator of the document request. Look for an IDRS number or name on Form 4251, Return Charge-Out, or Form 2275, Records Request, Charge and Recharge. Route to the originator at the appropriate stop number for that work area. 21.1.7.15.3 (10-01-2015) Shipping of Refile Documents Documents/returns needing to be refiled are received daily from the various campus work areas. Campus Support ships these items to appropriate Submission Processing Files on a daily basis. Process as follows: Do not sort document by type, Master File, etc. Note: At the time of Ramp Down, Submission Processing agreed that Campus Support was not required to sort these documents. Batch and rubber band. Do not count the batched volume. Prepare Form 3210, Document Transmittal. Box and attach mailing label. Mail to the appropriate Submission Processing Files, see IRM 3.5.61.1.14, Campus Consolidation - Processing of Documents. 21.1.7.16 (10-01-2021) Correspondence Support The Correspondence Support team is responsible for the following: Pick up the Correspondex (CRX) letters from computer operations. Review all IDRS outgoing letters for tone, completeness, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and computer errors. For additional information, see IRM 1.10.1, IRS Correspondence Manual, and IRM 21.3.3.4.17.4, Correspondence Contacts. Pull and attach letter enclosures to Priority, Certified and Regular letters. Fold and insert the letter into the appropriate envelope. Take the letters to Paragon or Neopost station for metering and mail out. Correspondence Letters are generated and printed daily from the CRX0311 run for all campus work areas and related area offices that correspond with taxpayers. A clerk picks up the CRX letters from computer operations. There are three categories of letters received and processed daily. These categories include Regular Correspondex (CRX) Letters, Certified CRX Letters, and Priority CRX Letters. They are processed in the following priority order: Certified Priority Regular Each CRX 03 run is broken down into the following: Certified letters Foreign letters Attachments Enclosures Third copies All letters (except for certified, which is treated as one pack regardless of volume) are counted into packs of fifty and listed on a batch sheet for clerks to sign out and process. Certified letters are reviewed and the proper forms, publications and return envelopes enclosed. The letters are then be placed into an envelope, sealed, and put into packs of twenty. A certified mail list is also generated for control purposes. The list contains the taxpayer name, address, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), tax module(s), type of tax and certified mail number. If a letter or notice is not mailed, it is indicated on the certified mail list by drawing a line through the entry. Send the certified mail list with the letters to the post office. The post office acknowledges the completed letters and notices by stamping each page of the certified list. IRS retains the certified mail list. Note: See Document 12990, Records Control Schedule, Certified and Registered Mail Records. (Job No. NC1–58–85–10, Item 38) and Certified Mail Listing (Job No. NC1–58–85–10, Item 359) for TAX ADMINISTRATION - TAXPAYER SERVICES RECORDS. It is for retention of certified mail list. Foreign letters are be reviewed and the proper forms, publications and return envelopes enclosed. Keep these letters separate from the other mail when sent to mail out. Most single letters and the bulk of C letters are printed with two copies for each letter. There are certain letters (i.e., Letter 3338C and Letter 3340C) that are printed only with a single copy and are worked separately. Attachments section of the run are associated to various enclosures sent to Correspondence Support by Accounts Management and Compliance. If a matching letter is not found for a particular enclosure, clerks use IDRS to check to see if the letter was generated. If the letter is not found, the enclosure is sent back to the originating unit via inter-office mail. If a matching enclosure is not found for a particular letter by the date on the letter, the letter is sent back to the originating unit via inter-office mail. Remove Form 5703, IDRS Letter Enclosure, from any enclosures before inserting in the envelope. Destroy Form 5703 as classified waste. Letters are received requesting forms, publications, and notices for various years be mailed to the taxpayer. Campus Support reads the letter to determine what tax year to enclose. If the letters request prior year enclosures, then the clerk prints them from the Forms/Pubs/Product Repository on the Intranet. Letters are folded and inserted into the appropriate envelope. The following envelopes are used for outgoing mail: E-125L E-142 E-178 E-44B E-205 F-125L See IRM Exhibit 3.13.62-54, Undeliverable CP Notice and C-Letter Distribution and Mailing Guides, for envelope use. Note: Exhaust any existing stock of similar envelopes on hand before placing new order for listed items to reduce waste. Envelopes are either be taped or glued closed. If the envelope is thick, be sure to use tape to seal the envelope to ensure that it can go through the Paragon or Neopost machine successfully. Third copies are separated by IDRS unit number and sent back to originating area for their records. The Lead researches Control D to determine the total letter volume for that date which is compared to the CRX0311 load plan transmittal volume. Take extreme care to ensure that only the material relative to the taxpayer(s) to which the correspondence is addressed is enclosed in the envelope (see IRM 21.3.3.4.25, Breaches of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Caused by Manual Stuffing Errors. All letters are sent to the Post Office for mailing no later than the date on the letter. See Exhibit 3.13.62-56, Timeliness Instructions for Correspondence Production Services (CPS) Print Sites.

Trace ID Number is a tracking mechanism to identify each DT with its corresponding payments and each DV with its corresponding debits. The Custodial Detail Database (CDDB) is an enhancement to the Financial Management Information System. It was created to track all individual payments that comprise a deposit ticket. It also balances the individual transactions against the deposit ticket totals which have been entered into the Redesign Revenue Accounting Control System (RRACS) general ledger. The unique Trace ID Number allows all payments to be identified and added to the CDDB. All input payment systems automatically assign a 20 digit Trace ID number to each deposit ticket. For Manual Deposit Tickets, The Trace ID Number is assigned by BBTS. The first 14 digits represent the Deposit Ticket Trace ID Number and the last six numbers represent the Transaction Sequence Number of each individual payment that comprises the Deposit Ticket. The Transaction Sequence Number begins with 000001, and is sequentially assigned to payments within a Deposit Ticket. The format for a Trace ID Number that is required in all Deposit Tickets (14 digits) and on all Payment Transaction records (20 digits) is: Parts Characters Position Definition Site ID NN 1–2 Campus File Location Code (FLC) or other Site ID Campus FLC are listed below: 07 - ATSPC 08 - ANSPC 09 - KCSPC 17 - CSC 18 - AUSPC 19 - BSC 28 - PSC 29 - OSPC 49 - MSC 89 - FSPC Lockbox Bank Location Codes are listed below: 02 - Bank of America Windsor -ANSPC 25 - U.S. Bank Cincinnati - PSC 33 - U.S. Bank Cincinnati - FSPC 35 - JP Morgan Charlotte - CSC 36 - U.S. Bank St. Louis - KCSPC 47 - Bank of America Windsor - KCSPC 59 - Bank of America College Park - ATSPC 68 - Bank of America Hayward - FSPC 73 - JP Morgan Chase - AUSPC 91 - Bank of America Tucker - OSPC Note: In addition, some systems, such as an Installment Agreement (IA) User Fee Sweep, utilize an Area Office Code rather than a Campus Code. Those values are quite varied, so CDDB allows for any unique numeric value to be valid. Note: Valid codes change periodically with the reorganization of Campus accountability or Campus Consolidation, or the restructuring of Lockbox Bank contracts.

Note: This field is relevant only for the individual Payment Transactions that comprise a Deposit Ticket (as identified by the first 14 characters of the Trace ID Number). Note: CC PAYMT generates the current processing Calendar Day as the first two positions of the six character Sequence Number in the Trace ID, when the payment is applied to the taxpayer's account through CC PAYMT.

Exhibit 21.1.7-15 Correspondex "C" Letters - Routing Guide Each campus attempts to route IRS "C" (Correspondex) letters based on letter number or specific IDRS number range designated by your Campus for specific functional areas. In most cases, the letter is returned to the Originator and the Return Address at the top of the letter should indicate the location/site of the originator. A "(SC)" letter simply means the Campus developed it and is usually unique to a specific area. A "LT" letter is generated by Automated Collection System (ACS) and Automated Collection System Support (ACSS). "CG" means Computer Generated by a stand-alone system. Be sure to use your list of IDRS numbers (or ranges) from CC MESSG to ensure proper routing. For additional information see IRM 3.10.72-2, Correspondex "C" Letters - Routing Guide. Note: If you notice that a response to any letter indicates a "Request for Installment Agreement" , "Can't Pay" , "Won't Pay" , or "Want to Pay Later" , route to CSCO site using the state chart in IRM 21.1.7.6.13, Sorting and Routing Automated Collection System Mail.
