3.12.12.2 (01-01-2023)

Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)

  1. The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate. Its job is to protect taxpayers’ rights by striving to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR). TAS offers free help to taxpayers, including when taxpayers face financial difficulties due to an IRS problem, when they are unable to resolve tax problems they haven’t been able to resolve on their own, or when they need assistance to address an IRS system, process, or procedure that is not functioning as it should. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

  2. TAS uses Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR), to start the OAR process of referring a case to the Wage and Investment (W&I) Division, to affect the resolution of the taxpayer’s problem. Form more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, TAS Operations Assistance Request (OAR) Process.

  3. Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria or when Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (and Application for Taxpayer Assistance Order), is attached and steps cannot be taken to resolve the taxpayer’s issue the same day.

  4. The definition of “same day resolution” is within 24 hours. The following two situations meet the definition of “same day resolution”:

    • The issue can be resolved within 24 hours.

    • IRS takes steps within 24 hours to resolve the taxpayer’s issue.

  5. When making a TAS referral, use Form 911 and forward to TAS following your local procedures.

  6. See IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria, for more information.

3.12.12.2.1 (01-01-2024)

Service Level Agreements (SLA)

  1. The National Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners of the Wage and Investment (W&I) Division, Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE) Division, Tax Exempt Government Entities (TEGE), Criminal Investigation (CI), Appeals, and Large Business and International (LB&I) that outline the procedures and responsibilities for processing Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) casework when either the statutory or delegated authority to complete case transactions rests outside of TAS. These agreements are know as Serve Level Agreements (SLAs).

  2. The SLAs are located in Service Level Agreements between the Tax Exempt & Government Entities Division and the Taxpayer Advocate Service.

3.12.12.2.1.1 (01-01-2023)
Operations Assistance Requests (OARs)

  1. TAS and the Operating Functions have reached agreements outlining the procedures and responsibilities for processing Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) casework when either the statutory or delegated authority to complete a case transaction rests with that Operating Function. These agreements are known as Service Level Agreements (SLA).

  2. In preparation for a case being referred to an Operating Function, the TAS employee is responsible for:

    1. Preparing Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request.

    2. Securing all necessary supporting documentation.

    3. Identifying cases that require expedite processing. No case will automatically receive expedite processing; requests for expedite processing will be made on a case-by-case basis.

    4. Forwarding Form 12412 and documentation to the Operating Function Unit Liaison.

  3. The Operating Function is responsible for:

    1. Assigning a liaison in each office or Campus where a Taxpayer Advocate is located.

    2. Acknowledging receipt of the case within one workday for cases requiring expedite processing or within three workdays for all other cases.

    3. Providing TAS with the name and telephone number of the group manager or employee assigned the case.

    4. Determining a reasonable timeframe for case resolution.

    5. Upon closing the OAR, the functional employee assigned the OAR will complete Section VI of Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request and return it to the TAS employee assigned the case. The Form 12412 must be returned within three workdays from the date that all actions have been completed and transactions input.

  4. For further information, refer to the SLAs online at http://tas.web.irs.gov/default.aspx under the heading "Policy/Procedures/Guidance."

  5. BMF Identification Theft is increasing. If a tax examiner in Submission Processing (SP) Error resolution System (ERS) finds a case with attachments or correspondence indicating the taxpayer is a victim of ID Theft, provide the whole case to your senior/lead. Your senior/lead will expedite the case to the P&A staff for referral to one of the SP BMF ID Theft liaisons. The taxpayer must clearly state that they are a victim of "ID Theft" .

  6. BMF Identification Theft is increasing. If a tax examiner in Submission Processing (SP) Error resolution System (ERS) finds a case with attachments or correspondence indicating the taxpayer is a victim of ID Theft:

    1. SSPND “360” to route the return to Planning & Analysis (P&A).

    2. Attach Form 4227 (or other appropriate routing slip) with the notation “ID THEFT”.

    3. Provide the entire case to your senior/lead.

    Your senior/lead will expedite the case to the P&A staff for referral to one of the SP BMF ID Theft liaisons. The taxpayer must clearly state that they are a victim of "ID Theft" .

A signature can consist of either an original signature (including a printed signature, rubber stamped, mechanical device or signed by a software program.

  2. Filing of original tax returns via fax will only be allowed as part of a return perfection process (e.g., securing missing schedule or missing signature) initiated by the IRS where contact with the taxpayer has been made and documented. These faxed signatures will be accepted as well as those received from any internal source.

    Note:

    If a return has no information below the Entity Section, A true Zero Filer return, 2007 and Prior Forms 990/990-EZ, Send the return back for a FYM mismatch, missing signature, incorrect revision of form, or the return is a final/termination and all required information is not present. If money amounts are present, send the return back for all issues. If the return is a 2008 and subsequent revision of Form 990/990-EZ the "Zero Filer, ORG Code 9" process will no longer be followed. If a return is filed it must be complete and we will send the return back..

  3. Returns may have originally been filed electronically (E-File). These returns may be identified by the presence of MOD E-File printouts in lieu of an actual return or wording such as "e-file GRAPHIC print - DO NOT PROCESS" printed at the top of the return. Do not correspond for missing signatures on these documents if they are being reprocessed and they were originally accepted through the E-File system.

    Note:

    Paper returns sent in by the filer that state they were rejected through the E-File system do require a signature.

  4. When corresponding for a missing signature only use the 0143-C letter. If you are corresponding for other missing information also, use the 2694-C, 2695-C, 2696-C, 2697-C or 2698-C as appropriate.

    Note:

    For Forms 990-T, 1120-POL, 5227, 5768, and 8872 C&E will continue to use Action Code 225 or 226.

3.12.12.3.6.2 (01-01-2023)
Frivolous Returns and Claims

  1. A frivolous argument is used for the purpose of expressing dissatisfaction with the substance, form or administration of the tax laws by attempting to illegally avoid or reduce tax liabilities. Recognized frivolous arguments made by businesses include, but are not limited to, the examples in IRM 25.25.10, Frivolous Return Program (FRP).

  2. Review the return to determine whether it appears to be a frivolous return.

    If... Then...
    The return meets any of the conditions identified as a frivolous return.

    Note:

    Exception: If the return shows Action Code 331 and has a Form 4227 attached with the remarks, Refer to Exam FRP for audit after processing, continue to next procedure.

    		 Remove return from the batch and place the return in the locally designated basket for Examination, Frivolous Return Processing (FRP) for review.
    Examination has selected the return as frivolous, indicated by an Action Code 331 and a Form 4227 with the remarks "Refer to Exam FRP for audit after processing" , but send the return for processing, Continue processing the return using procedures in IRM (form specific). However, do not circle or void the Action Code indicating a frivolous return.

3.12.12.3.6.3 (01-01-2024)
Reasonable Cause

  1. For the Incomplete Returns Program, the reasonable cause must state why the information cannot be furnished and/or why it wasn't furnished when the return was initially filed.. Refer to Figure 3.12.12-1:

    1. When the filer furnishes reasonable cause for late filing, but does not provide reasonable cause for an incomplete return, the reasonable cause for late filing will not apply to the Incomplete Returns Program. The return will be treated as if the reasonable cause was not furnished.

    2. If reasonable cause is furnished for late filing but not for the missing items, send a second letter.

    3. Ensure CCC "R" and "V" are not present if reasonable cause will not be allowed.

    Figure 3.12.12-1

    • The return was mailed in time but was returned to sender.
    • The return was filed in time but sent or deposited to the wrong IRS office.
    • Delay or failure to file was due to erroneous information given to the taxpayer by an IRS employee.
    • Delay was caused by death or serious illness of the taxpayer, or a death or serious illness in their immediate family (see Note below).
    • Delay was caused by unavoidable absence of the taxpayer (see Note below).

    Note:

    In the case of a corporation, estate, trust, etc., the death, illness or absence must have been of an individual (or member of the individual's immediate family) having sole authority to execute the return.


    • Delinquency was caused by destruction, by fire or other casualty of the taxpayers place of business or business records.
    • Taxpayer requested the proper forms in a timely fashion, but the forms were not furnished in sufficient time to permit the timely filing of the return.
    • Taxpayer provides proof that they personally visited an IRS office on or before the due date of the return for the purpose of securing the information or advice and was unable to meet with an IRS representative.

    If the organization is a PRIVATE FOUNDATION: The organization has 90 days to file and pay after it received a determination letter from the Service. Revenue Procedure (Rev. Proc) 79-8 allows a private foundation (Form 990-PF) reasonable cause for failure to file and failure to pay for 90 days after it received a determination letter from the Service stating that the organization is a private foundation or that it cannot reasonably be expected to be a public charity. (This relief does not apply to returns or schedules that would have been due whether or not it was a private foundation (for example Form 990-T). A copy of the redetermination letter must be attached to the return.

    If the organization is NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS with UBIT (unrelated taxable business income) or NOT A TAXABLE ORGANIZATION (not a Form 990-PF or Form 990-T filer), is a membership organization (PTA, Boy Scout Troop, Garden club, Homeowners Assn., etc.), and has no full-time employee responsible for administering the organization's finances, reasonable cause may be granted if the organization:
    1. Clearly shows it exercised normal care and prudence, but was unable to file the return timely due to little continuity or understanding of duties due to frequent office changes,
    or
    2. Has no prior history of late filing and claims ignorance of the law (new organizations or those not previously required to file).

  1. Records will be placed into Error Resolution or Rejects inventories for correction.

  2. Once you access a record and it displays on the screen you must resolve the error by either:

    1. Fully correcting the record, or

    2. Placing the record in suspense until additional information is received, or

    3. Rejecting the record from pipeline processing.

  3. Corrections will include correcting errors in editing, transcription or taxpayer errors.

  4. In the header portion of each record, the error screen displays will show:

    1. Document Locator Number (DLN),

    2. Employer Identification number (EIN), and

    3. Name Control or Check Digit

  5. Before making corrections to the Error Screen displays, verify that the DLN of the display matches the DLN of the document.

  6. If it is determined that a mixed data situation exists, stop processing and give the block of work to your manager. Management will determine if the mixed data can be corrected via the terminal screen display, or will take action to have the block deleted and re-input.

  7. When making corrections to the Screen Display, be sure money amounts within a section have been transcribed in dollars only, or in dollar and cents according to the requirements shown in the instructions for each section.

  8. Before assigning a TPNC, check for any schedules or attachments the filer may have used in arriving at the amount in the Field in error.

3.12.12.4.1 (01-01-2023)

Action Code 001

    • All data must be entered.

    • GTSEC ALL sections and

    • Enter ALL necessary data.

3.12.12.4.2 (01-01-2023)

Clear Fields "C" and "000"

  1. The letter "C" is used as a Clear Field for the Error Codes (consistency errors) when the invalid condition does not require a change or correction to the record as displayed. The display will include a clear Field, labeled "CL" to indicate the possible need of a Clear Field. Command Code CRECT is used to enter the "C" .

  2. Error Codes that need a Clear Field are cleared by either correcting the condition or entering a "C" to indicate no correction is needed.

  3. Clear Field "C" is also used for clearing the Action Code after corrections for the Action Code have been completed.

  4. "000" is also used as a Clear Field when deleting Action Codes. It will only be used for erroneous Action Codes when you have determined there is no reason to suspend the record ("000" cannot be used in Reject correction).

  5. Programming erases all "C" Clear Fields for Error Codes when a record is suspended with the Command Code SSPND.

  6. Programming erases all "C" Clear Fields for Error Codes and Action Codes for the new day's Error Inventory and Workable Suspense Inventory.

    Note:

    Unfinished records from the previous day will not contain the "C" Clear Fields that were assigned to a record that was not completely worked.

  7. Error Codes (including the ones which may require a "C" Clear Field) are numbered consecutively in order for correcting.

3.12.12.5 (01-01-2023)

Action Code Error Priority I

  1. All records assigned an incorrect Action Code will be displayed as a Priority 1 error. These errors and the correction procedures are explained in this section:

ISRP (Integrated Submission & Remittance Processing) Errors

  1. An ISRP error is an error detected by the Integrated Submission & Remittance Processing.

  2. The display for the ISRP error will include the code identifying the type of ISRP error:

    1. "1" —Split screen transmission, Key Verifier attempted to change Check Digit, Key Verifier changed 4 or more digits of a TIN, or the Original Entry operator entered required section as missing.

    2. "3" —Invalid section ending point.

    3. "4" —Invalid Field length.

    4. "Questionable Section " —The ISRP operator input the same section more than once or entered out of sequence by ISRP. The computer program will drop all duplicate sections and display on the error register the first one encountered.

  3. When displayed, ISRP errors will display all input Fields of the section in error, except for the Remittance in Section 01. Transcribed data will be present. Computer generated data will not be present.

3.12.12.6.1.1 (01-01-2023)
ISRP Error Correction Procedures

  1. Check all Fields of the section and verify that Fields are entered as coded.

    1. If no correction is needed, or once the section is correct, drop to the bottom of the screen and transmit.

    2. If the section needs to be deleted, enter Command Code DLSEC with the section number.

3.12.12.6.2 (01-01-2023)

Terminus Error

  1. A Terminus Error occurs when a section with variable length input Fields contains an erroneous sized Field.

  2. When displayed, a Terminus Error will show all input Fields of the terminus section.

    1. Transcribed data will be present.

    2. Computer generated Fields or Remittance Field for Section 01 will not be present.

3.12.12.6.2.1 (01-01-2023)
Terminus Error Correction Procedures

3.12.12.7 (01-01-2023)

Field Errors Priority III

  1. Definition—Any Field that does not meet the requirements for that Field will be shown as a Priority III Error. Some reasons for this type of error are:

    1. Non-alphabetical character in an alpha Field

    2. Blank space in a numeric Field

    3. Blank in the first position of an alpha Field

    4. Non-numeric character in a numeric Field

    5. A required Field is blank

3.12.12.7.1 (01-01-2023)

Priority III Error Display Order

  1. All Fields with a Priority III Error will be displayed in the order encountered in the record.

  2. This chapter lists the Fields, errors and correction procedures for Priority III Errors for Forms 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, 990-PF, 1120-POL, 990-T, 5227 and 8871/8872. Unless otherwise stated the Fields are valid for Forms 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, 990-PF, 1120-POL, 990-T, 5227 and 8871/8872.

3.12.12.8 (01-01-2024)

Taxpayer Notice
Codes (TPNC)

  1. Use this code when a math error is present involving the tax liability or tax due/overpayment. Enter it on the terminal screen following the literal "NC" . You must also enter the TPNC on the upper left corner of the return.

  2. Enter the TPNC after determining that no corrections to the record are needed. The presence of a TPNC indicates to the computer that no other corrections to the screen display will be made.

  3. Whenever you assign a TPNC, a working trail showing the changes made must also be entered on the return at the point of error and on the Total Tax line.

  4. Each math error has certain TPNCs that are valid to clear the math error. The TPNC assigned to the error and entered in the "NC" Field must be valid for that Error Code. If an invalid code is assigned, the error will be displayed again.

  5. Each math error display requires a correction to a Field or the entry of a TPNC. The transmission of a TPNC must not be accompanied by any other correction. A TPNC assigned to a math error is displayed on subsequent displays for the record. The Field is used for display purposes only and is not correctable.

  6. A return can have a total of three TPNCs. If more than three codes need to be assigned, use TPNC 90 and list the error for Notice Review to type and send to the taxpayer.

  7. TPNC 90 is actually a fill-in and is used when no other TPNC fully explains the correction(s) made or when more than three notice codes are necessary. Write an explanation exactly as it will appear on the notice and attach it to the face of the return. Notice Review will type the math error explanation on the notice before mailing to the taxpayer. TPNC 90 can be used in conjunction with other notice codes.

  8. Once a code is transmitted to the record, it can be changed in the following manner:

    1. Records cleared from the terminal—If errors remain after transmitting the TPNC, you can create an error with a higher priority. This deletes all "C" Clear Fields and notice codes already assigned a lower priority error from the record. TPNCs are deleted from the header display. Beginning with the high Priority IV error created, all subsequent errors are displayed for resolution even though they were displayed previously.

    2. A correction you make erases an error code you previously cleared with a TPNC or "C" . In this case, the "C" or TPNC and all subsequent error codes are displayed. The TPNC(s) for this error and subsequent error codes are deleted from the header display.

    3. Records that were worked may be reworked using Command Code GTRECW. See IRM 3.12.38, BMF ERS General Information, for further details.

    4. All TPNCs are erased when a record is suspended with Command Code SSPND.

    5. Unfinished records from the previous day will contain none of the TPNCs that were assigned to the records.

  9. See Exhibit 3.12.12-20 through Exhibit 3.12.12-23 for TPNCs that are valid for Forms 990-PF, 1120-POL, and 990-T.

3.12.12.9.2.2 (01-01-2023)
Error Code 002
Correction Procedures

  1. Before taking any additional research steps to resolve Error Code 002, drop the cursor to the bottom of the screen and transmit. This will ensure that any prior changes to the Name Control have posted to the NAP. If Error Code 002 reappears, continue with the remainder of the correction procedures.

  2. When corrections are made to Field 01NC or Field 01EIN, the computer will validate the entries with the NAP and reset the OLE indicators as appropriate upon transmitting the ERS screen.

  3. Correct all misplaced entries, coding and transcription errors.

  4. Compare the displayed Fields with the return and attachments. If incorrect, overlay the screen with the correct information.

  5. If Field 01NC and the Name Control on the return or attachments are the same but differ from the underprint in Field 01NC, research INOLES to determine the correct Name.

    If... Then...
    The Name Control on the return or attachment matches the Name Control on INOLES, Bring up the Underprint.
    The Name on INOLES is different from the Name on the return or attachment, Research NAMEB/NAMEE for a new EIN.

  6. If a new EIN is located, verify the Name Control using CC INOLES.

    If... Then...
    The Name on INOLES agrees with the Name on the return or attachment, 1. Ensure that the entity information matches the return.
    2. Overlay Field 01EIN with the new EIN from NAMEB/NAMEE. When the EIN is changed from the one the taxpayer used, issue Letter 3875-C as a non-suspense letter to the address on the return.
    Note: Do not send Letter 3875-C if:
    * Three digits or less of the EIN are transposed, different, or missing.
    * When CC INOLES indicates the account has been merged to or merged from, or
