IRM deviations must be submitted in writing following instructions from IRM 1.11.2.2, Internal Management Documents System - Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) Process, IRM Standards, and elevated through appropriate channels for executive approval.

3.24.38.1.9 (01-01-2023)

Data Entry Phases

Data entry is accomplished using Original Entry, Key Verification and Block Edit. A brief description of each follows:
Original Entry (OE) consists of:
1. Entering data from documents into the ISRP System.
2. Checking program number and tax class/document code/transaction/MFT code year combinations to assure that the type of block is valid.
3. Sequence checking all Document Serial Numbers and Section Numbers within documents.
4. Assuring that the Section Number entered is valid for the document being entered.
5. Determining if all systematically required sections for a given document have been entered.
6. Zero-balancing the interrelated money amounts. Specific sections are subjected to a zero-balance routine, in which the combination of all positive and negative amounts should equal zero, within given tolerances.
7. Checking entries between two lines or between a line and a section for missing data.
8. Determining if the information entered for a field is valid (e.g., alpha, numeric); if a field must contain data; if the field must be filled (e.g., Social Security Number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN)); or if there are too many characters in a field (i.e., overflow).
Key Verification (KV) is, in effect, a duplication of the Original Entry input with the following exceptions:
1. The KV EOP (Entry Operator) is prompted by the system, for the document and section or part of a section to verify. This procedure allows those sections and parts of a section that do not require verification to bypass this phase.
2. The KV EOP is alerted when a difference between the KV entry and the OE entry is encountered. This allows the KV EOP to make corrections as necessary.
Block Edit (BE) is used for correction of entered data and for Quality Review. Block Edit allows access to blocks which are partially entered, entered but not key verified, and have been key verified. Quality Review can only access completed blocks.

3.24.38.2.4.3 (01-01-2016)

Special Key Characteristics

Various functions unique to VBDEA are assigned to function keys and certain other keys on the ISRP keyboard. Specific functions vary depending on the processing mode and current field. The three processing modes are:

Append/Edit Mode allows the operator to add documents and sections to a block. It is the default mode for OE.
Command Mode allows the operator to move within the block and insert, delete, or edit sections and documents.
Verify Mode is used in KV and allows the operator to verify OE data by re-keying the data on a field-by-field basis.

Use of the keys in each of the modes is described in the table below.
Special Key Characteristics

3.24.38.3 (01-01-2016)

Data Entry Information

Data entry is accomplished using Original Entry (OE), Key Verification (KV) and Block Edit (BE).

3.24.38.3.1 (01-01-2016)

Original Entry (OE)

This section provides instructions for the Original Entry (OE) of data into the ISRP System for processing. This data is transcribed by EOPs from blocks of documents. The OE function consists of OE New and OE Resume. OE New is used when first starting to enter a block. OE Resume is used to resume entering a block that was exited prior to entering all documents in the block. Detailed instructions for transcribing different types of documents are located in the document-specific IRMs.
During OE, the system does the following:
1. Checks program number and tax class/document code/transaction/MFT code year combinations to assure that the type of block is valid.
2. Sequence checks all document serial numbers and section numbers within documents.
3. Assures that the section number entered is valid for the document being transcribed.
4. Determines if all systematically required sections for a given document have been entered.
5. Zero balances the interrelated money amounts. Specific input sections are subjected to a zero-balance routine in which the combination of all positive and negative amounts should equal zero within given tolerances.
6. Checks entries between two lines or between a line and a section for missing data.
7. Validates the TIN against the Check Digit to ensure both are transcribed correctly.
8. Determines if the information entered for a field is valid (i.e., alpha, numeric); if a field must contain data (i.e., Social Security Number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN); if a field must be filled (i.e., SSN, EIN); or if a field contains too many characters (overflow).

To access a block for Original Entry (OE) of work use the following instructions.

IF	THEN
You are starting OE of a new block,	Select Original Entry→OE→New Enter program number. Press <Tab> Enter ABC. Press <Tab>. Enter SOP ID if different from your SOP ID. Select "OK" or press <Enter>.
You are resuming OE of a block that has been partially entered,	Select Original Entry→OE→Resume Enter ABC. Press <Tab>. Enter SOP ID if different from your SOP ID. Select "OK" or press <Enter>.

Note:

If a locked block message appears, contact the Manager or Lead. The Manager or Lead must release the block at the workstation.

3.24.38.3.1.1 (01-01-2023)

Block Header — Original Entry (OE)

Visually compare the Document Locator Number (DLN) of Form 813, Form 1332, or Form 3893 with the DLN on the first document of the block before entering the block. If the DLNs do not match, refer the block to the Manager or Lead.
Enter the Program Number, ABC, and SOP ID in the EOP Dialog box. The block header screen display appears.
The Block Header Display is shown below.

Figure 3.24.38-5

This is a graphic of the Block Header Display Screen

Please click here for the text description of the image.
The system displays the entered ABC and Program Number. (If you entered an incorrect ABC or Program Number in the EOP Dialog box, exit the block header and start over by pressing <F9> then answering "Y" to the confirmation message "Cancel Block and Exit Application? All Data will be Lost!" .) Enter remaining fields as instructed. The block header display for transcribing tax returns contains the following prompts/fields:
- ABC — The Alphanumeric Block Control number is a three-character code assigned to a block to track it during processing. This field cannot be entered or changed. It is generated by the system.
- DLN — The Document Locator Number is the 12-digit number that uniquely identifies a block. Enter the first eleven digits. The twelfth (12th) digit is generated by the system. If the generated digit is incorrect, enter the correct digit.
- BATCH — The Cart Batch Number identifies the cart on which the block is located.
- COUNT — The Count is the number of documents in the block.
- CR — The Credit amount is the sum of all the credit amount fields for the entire block.
- DB — The Debit amount is the sum of the debit amount fields for the entire block.
- TRCODE — The Transaction Code is a three-digit code used to identify activity on a taxpayer's account.
- TRDATE — The Transaction Date is an eight-digit number in MMDDCCYY format that corresponds to the date the document remittance is received by the IRS.
- MFT — The Master File Tax Code is a two-digit number that identifies the specific type of account to which a transaction is to be posted.
- SECAMT — Secondary Amount is the sum of the secondary amount fields for the entire block. If there is no entry in this field, the system zero-fills the field.
- SOURCE — The Source Code indicates the type of re-entry documents in the block. The Source Code can be “4”, “R”, or “N”. If there is no entry in this field, the system zero-fills the field.
- YEAR — The Year is the last digit of the year for which the documents are to be applied.
- PRIOR YEAR — Prior Year indicates that the documents are for a year prior to the current processing year. If there is no entry in this field, the system zero-fills the field.
- RPS — The RPS Indicator identifies that RPS processing has been performed for remittances associated with the block of documents.
  
  Note:
  
  Form 1332, Block and Selection Record, or Form 813, Document Register, with "RPS" or "RRPS" annotated on the form will indicate that they are from RRPS. An RPS indicator of "S" for BMF should be entered.
If you receive a "Block Mismatch" error message, correct any transcription errors. If you still receive the error message, make sure the data is valid by checking the tables in Exhibit 3.24.38-6, BMF ISRP IRMs, Program Numbers and Block Header Validity Checks and Exhibit 3.24.38-7, Other ISRP IRMs, Program Numbers and Block Header Validity Checks. If the data is invalid, notify the Manager or Lead.
If you receive a "Block Exists" error message, correct any transcription errors. If you still receive the error message, notify the Manager or Lead.

3.24.38.3.1.2 (01-01-2023)

Document Entry — Original Entry (OE)

After the Block Header information has been entered, the first section of the first document in the block is displayed. Enter data as instructed in the document-specific IRM. If the DLN is illegible, refer the block to the Manager or Lead. If Section 01 is not completed, the block will not be stored on the system. Once Section 01 of the first document has been entered, the block can be resumed later.
After each field has been entered press <Enter>, if necessary, to move to the next field. If no data is present for a field, press <Enter> unless another action is specified. If there is no additional data to be entered for the section, press <F6>/<*>. The Section Number field (Prompt "SECT" ) will be displayed. No entry should be made for sections where no data is present for any element in that section. Overlay the section number with the next section containing data.

Note:

Code and Edit is instructed to edit a slash on any blank form or schedule. However, this does not mean that a section in ISRP should not be transcribed if the information is provided on an attachment. Entry Operators (EOPs) must transcribe any information from an attachment.
When you have entered all data from the document, enter "D" (End of Document) in the Section Number field to end the document. If you enter data in the last field of the last section of the document, the document will end automatically.
Continue entering documents in the block in ascending serial number sequence (00, then 01, etc.). In a normal block, if the document serial number is not one number greater than the previous document, the system will display the error message "OUT OF SEQUENCE" or "NON ASCENDING" . If either of these messages is received:
1. If you entered an incorrect serial number, correct the serial number and continue.
2. If the serial number is correct, check the block for the missing document(s) and replace any document found out of sequence in the block.
3. If the document expected by the system is missing from the block, overlay the generated serial number with the correct number for the next document and press <F7>. This will allow the out of sequence document to be entered. Notate "MISSING" on the batch header sheet in the space to the right of the missing document number.
4. If the document has a duplicate Document Locator Number (DLN), or the DLN is missing, remove the document from the block and give it to your Manager or Lead.
Note:

If you are entering a Re-entry block, the system will accept non-sequential serial numbers without displaying the "OUT OF SEQUENCE" error message.
If an incorrect or non-ascending serial number was entered, the system will display the error message repeatedly until the entry is corrected.
Continue entering the block until the last document has been entered. If the block does not contain 100 documents, an "EB" (End of Block) must be entered in the Section Number field to end the block. If there are 100 documents, the block ends automatically.
After the EB has been entered, any corrective action (e.g., inserting, deleting) should be done prior to verifying the Block Header.
1. Documents can be added by the OE EOP using Block Edit after "EB" .
2. If a block has been erroneously ended, access Block Edit. Press <Alt>-<F10>. A message will appear asking "CONFIRM THE DELETE OF THE END OF THE BLOCK?" If "Y" , is selected/input, this will delete the erroneous end of block. If this action does not delete the erroneous end of block, contact the Manager or Lead for instructions.
After the "EB" has been entered, the system may display the EOP Dialog box for the next blocks ABC to be entered. If the EOP wishes to continue with Original Entry using the same program number, enter the ABC for the next block. If a different program number is needed, close the current EOP Dialog box and re-access Original Entry (OE).

3.24.38.3.2 (01-01-2016)

Key Verification (KV)

This section provides instructions for Key Verification (KV) of documents in which operators verify data previously transcribed into the ISRP system. The KV function consists of KV New and KV Resume. KV New is used when first starting to verify a block. KV Resume is used to resume verifying a block that was exited prior to verifying all documents in the block. Detailed instructions for transcribing different types of documents are located in document-specific IRMs.
Key Verification (KV) takes place after a block has been completed in OE and consists of re-keying certain portions of the data that was entered during OE to ensure that accurate data is passed forward from ISRP to other systems for further processing. When there is a difference between the KV entry and the OE entry, the system signals the operator to make corrections as necessary.
All block headers require Key Verification. KV of other data in the block is determined by programming requirements and criteria set by SOPs.
An operator must not verify a block of work that they previously entered unless authorized by management.

To access a block for KV of work use the following instructions.
Key Verification (KV)

IF	THEN
You are starting KV of a block for which no KV has been performed,	Select Key Verification→KV→New Enter ABC. Press <Tab>. Enter SOP ID if different from your SOP ID. Select "OK" or press <Enter>.
If you are resuming KV of a block that has been partially verified,	Select Key Verification→KV→Resume Enter ABC. Press <Tab>. Enter SOP ID if different from your SOP ID. Select "OK" or press <Enter>.

Note:

If a locked block message appears, contact the Manager or Lead. The Manager or Lead must release the block at the workstation.

3.24.38.3.2.1 (01-01-2016)

Block Header — Key Verification (KV)

After selecting Key Verification, enter the ABC and SOP ID of the block to be verified in the EOP Dialog box.
If for any reason the block is not available for KV, the error message "Cannot KV this block. See your manager." will be displayed. Take the following action:
1. Check the display to be sure the ABC and SOP ID were entered correctly and correct as necessary.
2. If you entered the data correctly, refer the block to the Manager or Lead for further action.
Enter the block header information using the appropriate instructions. The KV EOP MUST enter the DLN for the Block Header from the first document of the block. Enter the remaining data for the block header. You can correct any data in the Block Header except the ABC.
If the data you enter matches the OE operator entry, the system will display the first section of the first document of the block if full KV is set for the block. If the block is set to Header KV, the message "ALL SECTIONS VERIFIED" will appear and you will be placed in Command Mode.
A field that has been generated will not have to be entered after initial verification of the field unless you change the data. However, fields that are populated from Document "00" will require the operator to press <Enter> to accept the data that is displayed.
If you enter an "RB" (reject block) in the section number field during KV, a prompt will appear asking "ARE YOU SURE?" . If you enter "N" , you can resume KV without any effect. If you enter "Y" , the block will be marked for rejection at that point even though the message "UNVERIFIED RECORDS — EXIT ANYWAY?" is displayed.

3.24.38.3.2.2 (01-01-2023)

Verifying Documents — Key Verification (KV)

Sections that require validation are as follows:
- The first section of every document input by Original Entry.
- All sections that fail the zero-balance check.
- Systemically required sections that were not input during Original Entry.
Documents are verified one section at a time in ascending serial and section number sequence.
1. When the data entered by the OE operator and the KV operator agree, the system will display the first section of the first document of the block.
2. If the data entered by the KV operator differs from the data entered by the OE operator, an error message "VERIFY ERROR - REKEY FIELD" will display. The KV operator will clear the error message with <F9>.
3. As the KV EOP enters a field, a box will appear at the point of the first mismatch. The KV operator should check the document, and if the KV entry is wrong, correct the entry by pressing <Backspace> and entering the correct data. If the KV data is correct, the KV operator will finish entering the field, and press <Enter>. The value compared will be the KV entered value.
4. If there are errors remaining when the KV operator comes to the end of the field, the message "VERIFY ERROR - REKEY FIELD" will be displayed. The KV operator will clear the error message with <F9>.
5. If the field is a money amount field, the error message will not appear until the KV operator has entered the entire field.
Entry and comparison of the last field required to be verified will end the document and the next document of the block to be verified will appear.
If the result of the entity check during OE was a short entity, the Check Digit, Name Control and TIN fields will be bypassed with the Check Digit and TIN displayed. No entity check will be performed. If the OE entry is incorrect, you can back up to the incorrect field(s) and correct the data. The system will then perform an entity check.
The KV operator can use Edit or Block Edit to move to sections previously entered for corrective action.
In verifying each field, the KV operator must press <Enter> to move to the next "MUST VERIFY" field. When there are no more fields to be verified, the KV operator can use <F6> to move to the next section to be verified. If there are no more sections to be verified, <F6> will move to the next document.
Fields which have been generated will not have to be entered after initial verification of the field, unless they are changed by the KV operator. However, fields that are populated from Document 00 will require the KV operator to press <Enter> to accept the data that is displayed.
During KV you can insert a document that was omitted during OE.
The system will display the section number. All other fields will appear as blanks.
1. If the KV operator wishes to see the data as it was entered in OE, the KV operator can press <Alt>-<F8> to view the entire section, or <F8> to view the current field.
A required section that was not entered by the OE operator will be displayed for any corrective action. If there is no data present, press <Enter>.
If you enter an RB (reject block) in the section number field during KV, a prompt will appear asking ARE YOU SURE?. If you enter N, you can resume KV without any effect. If you enter Y, the block will be marked for rejection at that point even though the message UNVERIFIED RECORDS — EXIT ANYWAY? is displayed.

3.24.38.3.2.3 (01-01-2016)

Mixed Data/Missing Section or Document — Key Verification (KV)

The KV operator can indicate that entity and data sections are mixed within a block by overlaying the section number with "MI" .
1. If after verification of at least 10 documents the KV operator determines that the data is still mixed, the block may be rejected only with the manager's concurrence.
2. The mixed data indication causes the block to be rejected by the system during end of shift processing.
If the system expects a Serial Number that is not in the block or one that should not be in the block (i.e., an extra document), examine the control form and documents within the block to determine:
1. If the document requested by the system is an extra document entered by the OE operator. If so, delete the document.
2. If the document is missing from the block (document has either been withdrawn or lost after original entry). If so, enter "MS" in the section number. Each section number for the missing document must have the "MS" overlaid in the Section Number field.

3.24.38.3.3 (01-01-2016)

Block Edit (BE)

Block Edit is used by EOPs to do searches and corrections. It is used by Quality Reviewers to review work. BE allows access to any block that has not been sent forward from ISRP for further processing.

To access a block for Block Edit, use the following instructions.

IF	THEN
Editing or reviewing a block already in the system	Select Block Edit Enter ABC. Press <Tab>. Enter SOP ID, or Instead of entering the ABC and SOP ID, you may enter the block DLN. Select "OK" or press <Enter>.

EOPs can select a block of work for Block Edit when the block is in the following statuses:
- OE Partial
- OE Complete
- KV Partial
- Format Pending
- Format Complete
If the block is in OE Partial and the operator performing BE ends the block (EB), the status of the block will change to OE Complete. If the block is in OE Complete, the status at the end of BE will remain the same. BE does not act as KV for the block.

Quality Review (QR) can select a block of work for review by taking the following actions. The dialog request box is somewhat different for QR:

ACTIONS	RESULTS
1. Access BE as a Quality Reviewer	BE Request Work Dialog box appears.
2. Select criteria for BE by entering the appropriate data in the fields	For example, enter the EOP User ID if selecting work for an individual employee. Enter Program Number if selecting work from a program, etc.
3. Press <Enter>	The select work dialog appears, with the Block DLN/RPSID/GPPID from which to select.
4. Use arrow key to highlight the block	Block is highlighted.
5. Press <Enter>	Section 01 of the first document is displayed.

The block status must be OE complete to retrieve blocks using a QR ID. Blocks can be reviewed if they are in "Format Complete" status. If QR does review these blocks, they will go back to a status of "In Format" .
All users are able to view data. EOPs are able to change data. Each processing site determines whether its QR operators are allowed to change data.
Navigation is exactly the same for BE as for OE; and, the same rules apply when performing BE. All field validation rules and field type rules are the same.

3.24.38.3.4 (01-01-2016)

Data Entry Operation Instructions — Original Entry (OE), Key Verification (KV) and Block Edit (BE)

This section provides information and instructions applicable to all VBDEA data entry operations — OE, KV, and BE.

3.24.38.3.4.1 (01-01-2016)

Coding and Editing

Prior to being transcribed in ISRP, many documents are annotated with various markings and entries by IRS employees using red, orange, brown, green or purple pens/pencils. This process is known as coding and editing and may require you to enter data different from or additional to data originally appearing on the document. Enter edited data exactly as shown.

Coding and editing consists of characters or edit marks written on a document or on a separate internal document called an "Edit Sheet" . Edit marks are:

EDIT MARK	DESCRIPTION
Underlining	Indicates data to be transcribed
Circling, Lining through or X-ing	Indicates data not to be transcribed. Can be used for a form, section of a form or individual lines. Note: For individual lines, the "X" appears to the left of the item that will not be transcribed. There may be edited characters above or to the left to replace the data circled, lined through or X-ed. Note: Code and Edit will use the asterisk (*) instead of the "X" on Employment and Unemployment Tax Returns. See IRM 3.24.13, Employment Tax Returns, and IRM 3.24.154, Unemployment Tax Returns, for a list of these forms.
Slash	Indicates a deleted form or schedule not being transcribed
Asterisk (*)	If in the entity area of the return, ignore. Elsewhere on the return, do not enter the data to the right of the asterisk
Arrows	Indicates data to be entered in a different field other than where the taxpayer entered it. If the data is underlined (SCRIPS) or the arrow is double-headed (<———>), enter the data in both fields
Green rocker	A curved line in green pencil under a money amount indicating a payment received with a return
Bracket or parentheses	Indicates an amount to be entered as a negative
Vertical line or decimal point	Used to separate dollars from cents
Check Mark	Indicates that an entry has been manually math verified.
Double slash followed by Dollar sign (//$)	Used in the entity area to identify the beginning and ending of a foreign country code. For example, /EI/$ is edited for Ireland or /GM/$ is edited for Germany

Note:

Ogden Submission Processing Center (OSPC) - If conflicting editing is present in the entity area, editing in purple always takes precedence.

Note:

If conflicting editing is present in the entity area, editing in orange always takes precedence.

Special rules for green rockered items that are also asterisk-ed, X-ed or circled
1. If the amount is asterisk-ed or X-ed, on the Tax Due or Balance Due line and a corrected amount is shown to the left of or just above the "X" or "*" , enter the green rockered amount as Remittance/Payment Received and the corrected amount as Tax Due or Balance Due.
2. If the amount is asterisk-ed or X-ed, on the Tax Due or Balance Due line and no corrected amount is shown, enter the amount as the Remittance/Payment Received Amount in Section 03 and press <Enter> for the Tax Due or Balance Due.
3. If the amount is circled and on the Tax Due or Balance Due line, do not enter the amount as the Remittance/Payment Received; but, enter it as the Tax Due or Balance Due.
Only editing in red, orange, brown, green or purple should be transcribed unless the editing was done by the taxpayer. If unable to determine the editing, follow instructions in IRM 3.24.38.3.4.7, Illegible Data.

3.24.38.3.4.2 (01-01-2016)

MUST ENTER Fields

Some sections contain fields that require entry of data. These fields are referred to as MUST ENTER fields and are color-coded on the VBDEA screen as described in IRM 3.24.38.2.3.3, Visual Basic Data Entry Application Screen Display, and are denoted by stars (★★★★★★) in the "Fld. Term" column in the document-specific transcription instructions. If you try to bypass a MUST ENTER field without entering data, the system will stop on the field and generate the message "MUST ENTER FIELD" . Some MUST ENTER fields can be overridden as indicated in the specific instructions for the field. However, most require that something be entered. To continue entering data, use the following procedures:
1. If there is data present for field, press <F9> to clear the error message and enter the data.
2. If there is no data present for the field, enter a zero (0) unless otherwise instructed by the document-specific IRM.

3.24.38.3.4.3 (11-10-2020)

Mis-Blocked Documents and Documents with a Differing Formats

If you find a mis-blocked document (such as a Form CT–1 in a Form 941 block) or a document with a format differing so greatly from the current format that it cannot be feasibly transcribed and has not been edited to conform to the current format (such as a Form 941 in the 1962 format in a current Form 941 block), process it as follows:
1. Enter all fields of the document up to the Error Resolution System (ERS) Action Code field, if present.
2. Enter "610" in the ERS Action Code field.
3. Enter Action Code 610 for a mis-blocked international return (an international return in a domestic batch).
4. If there is no ERS Action Code field in the program being worked:
  (1) Enter all fields of the document through the Condition Code field or the Received Date field whichever comes later.
  (2) Enter a "U" in the Condition Code field.
5. If the return is a non-remittance return, end the document. Otherwise, end the section by pressing <F6>/<*>, proceed directly to Section 03, enter the Remittance/Payment Received and then end the document.

3.24.38.3.4.4 (01-01-2016)

Correspondence Imaging System (CIS) Returns

Correspondence Imaging System (CIS) is an inventory system for scanning all Accounts Management (AM) receipts into digital images and working the cases from those images.
"CIS" returns are identified with "CIS Image-Do not correspond for Signature" stamped below the signature line or "CIS" annotated on the front of the return.
Code and Edit will verify all edit marks on "CIS" returns.
If unsure of edit marks, consult your Manager or Lead.

3.24.38.3.4.5 (01-01-2016)

Entity Processing

BMF entity processing is designed to:
- Ensure posting of the return to the correct Master File account;
- Update the taxpayer's address as necessary; and
- Avoid entering an entire address if it is the same as what is already on the Master File.
Note:

The source of the entity information (IRS supplied or taxpayer supplied, see paragraphs (2) and (3), below) and whether the taxpayer makes changes to IRS pre-printed information determines how much of the return's entity information is entered.
IRS supplied information can appear in one of the following formats:
- Standard label or pre-printed return. The information shown reflects the entity information currently on Master File. (A label which has no Check Digit or illegible Check Digit should not be treated as a standard label. Instead, treat it as taxpayer supplied entity information for purposes of entity processing.)
- National Change of Address (NCOA) label or pre-printed return. NCOA labels are identified by black bars or pound signs printed vertically in the upper left corner of the entity area and no Check Digit. Some NCOA labels may also have the bars or pound signs printed horizontally above the address. (NCOA labels are treated as taxpayer supplied entity information for purposes of entity processing.)
Taxpayer supplied entity information can be typed, handwritten, or generated by tax preparation software.

3.24.38.3.4.5.1 (01-01-2016)

Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF) Check

If the operator enters a Check Digit and TIN and enters "N" in the "ADDRESS CHECK?" field, the Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF) is not checked. Instead, the system validates the TIN against the Check Digit to ensure both are transcribed correctly. In all other cases, the E-EIF is accessed and input data is compared to data in the E-EIF. The E-EIF check compares some or all of the following items: Name Control, TIN, first 6 characters (including spaces) of the street address, and ZIP code.

The "ADDRESS CHECK?" field determines whether the E-EIF check includes an address comparison. Enter a "Y" (Yes) or an "N" (No) as follows:
E-EIF Check

IF	AND	THEN
The return has a standard IRS label or pre-printed entity information	One of the following is true: There are no changes to the name, EIN or address The name, EIN or address is edited in orange TC 013, TC 014 or TC 016 is stamped or edited in the left margin of the return An Action Code in the "600" series Computer Condition Code "G" is present	Enter "N" (Always enter the Check Digit.)
	There are changes to the in care of name, anything other than the first six characters of the address	Enter "N" (Always enter the Name Control.)
	There are changes to the EIN	Enter "Y" (Always enter the Name Control.)
	There are changes to the first six characters of the address, or the first 5 digits of the ZIP Code	Enter "Y" (Always enter the Check Digit.)
The return has taxpayer supplied entity information (typed/handwritten/generated by tax preparation software) OR the return has an NCOA label or NCOA pre-printed entity information	One of the following is true: The name, EIN or address is edited in orange TC 013, TC 014 or TC 016 is stamped or edited in the left margin of the return An Action Code in the "600" series Computer Condition Code "G" is present	Enter "N" (Do not enter any address fields including the foreign address and do not enter the in care of name.)
	One of the following is true: The Name Control/Check Digit, EIN, street address or ZIP Code is missing, illegible or multiple The EIN is more or less than 9 digits The ZIP Code is less than 5 digits	Enter "N"
	None of the above is present	Enter "Y" . (If there is a change to the in care of name on an NCOA label and no other changes, press <Enter> for the STREET KEY and ZIP KEY fields, enter the in care of name; but, do not enter the address fields including the foreign address.)

If you entered an "N" at the "ADDRESS CHECK?" prompt and the:
1. Check digit was entered, the system will bypass the E-EIF and the address fields will not be prompted.
2. Name control was entered, the E-EIF check compares only the name control and TIN. If they match, the check digit from the E-EIF is displayed in the check digit field and the name control is grayed out and filled with blanks. The address fields will be prompted.

If you entered a "Y" at the "ADDRESS CHECK?" prompt, a data entry window appears. (To use the embedded keypad in this window you must use the <SHIFT> key.) Enter information as follows:

STREET KEY: Enter the first six characters of the address line as follows (include spaces, hyphens ("-" ) and slashes ("/" ) but no other punctuation marks such as periods, commas, apostrophes, etc.).

If the entity information matches the E-EIF, the system will not allow access to the address fields. The Name Control will change to Check Digits and the cursor will advance to the next field for input.
If the entity information does not match the E-EIF, the system will allow access to the address fields. Enter the address where prompted. If there is an in care of name shown on the return AND the notation "TC 013," "TC 014," or "TC 016," is edited in the left margin of the return, DO NOT enter the in care of name in the "In Care of Name" field. An in care of name may be indicated by "in care of" , an in care of sign (c/o), a percent sign (%) or some variation of those in front of the name.
If you have made an incorrect entry in any field involved in the entity processing, you may correct the incorrect entry or entries allowing the entity processing to occur correctly. Position the cursor in the first incorrect field, correct the entry then enter through or correct remaining fields as appropriate.

Note:

If the system has generated a Check Digit because of a good Name Control/TIN match, you must clear the Check Digit and re-enter the Name Control.

3.24.38.3.4.6 (01-01-2016)

Estate Names

The name control for an estate is derived from the surname of the decedent. If a "GNMA" pool number is present, use the first four digits of the pool number except do not include any leading zeros or trailing alphas. If there are fewer than four numbers, use the "GNMA" to complete the Name Control.
Estate Name Examples:

ESTATE NAME	NAME CONTROL
Estate of D. T. Morning Allen T. Night EX Someday Brother's Co.	MORN
GNMA Pool No. 00108B	108G
0003 GNMA POOL	3GNM
GNMA Pool # 18A	18GN
0020, GNMA POOL	20GN

Individual Name Controls

The Name Control consists of the first four significant characters of the individual's last name. Disregard spaces between letters in the last name. Omit titles, suffixes, and punctuation marks except hyphens.

When two unhyphenated last names are shown, the Name Control is the first four characters of the second last name unless the name is of Hispanic origin. When two Hispanic last names are shown, the Name Control is the first four characters of the first last name.

Note:

This rule may not accurately identify all Hispanic names, but it provides Name Control consistency.

When "de" , "del" , or "de la" appears as part of a Hispanic name, include it in the Name Control.

When "Van" or "Thi" appears with an Asian-Pacific name, do not include these as part of the Name Control. These are common middle names. Asian Pacific names often include a hyphen (-) as part of the first name.

Native American names often contain several words. The Name Control always begins with the first word.
Individual Name Control Examples:

3.24.38.3.4.14.4 (01-01-2018)

Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs)

A TIN is a nine-digit identification number that can be a Social Security Number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN), or a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). The following rules apply to all TINs.

Note:

If the TIN is all zeros and the field is not a must enter field, press enter only.
The SSN format is xxx–xx–xxxx; the EIN format is xx–xxxxxxx; the PTIN format is Pxxxxxxxx. Do not enter the hyphens (-).

Note:

If a TIN in SSN format appears in the EIN field on a return, enter it as an EIN.

Note:

If a TIN in EIN format appears in the SSN field on a return, enter it as an SSN.
SSNs and EINs are formatted with the hyphens on the VBDEA displays. TIN fields which accept either an SSN or an EIN are not formatted.
If a TIN is not present in Section 01, enter 9 periods. If a TIN is missing in any other section, press <Enter>.
If the TIN is less than 9 digits, enter the digits shown (for PTIN, "P" and the digits shown) followed by periods to complete an entry of 9 digits.
If the TIN is more than 9 digits, enter the first 8 digits (for PTIN, "P" and the first 7 digits) and a period.
Enter a period for each illegible character in the TIN.
If an SSN is preceded by a "T" , use the following procedures:
1. If 9 digits are present, ignore the "T" and enter the 9 digits shown.
2. If 8 digits are present, key a "9" in place of the "T" followed by the 8 digits shown.
If two or more TINs are shown, enter 9 periods.
It is not necessary to press <Enter> after entry of the TIN in Section 01. The cursor is automatically positioned in the next field.

3.24.38.3.4.14.5 (01-01-2023)

Date, IRS Received Date, Tax Year and Tax Period Fields

The IRS Received Date, often referred to as Received Date, is the date a document is first received by the IRS. It is stamped or edited on the face of the return. If edited, it should be in MMDDYY format.
An Official Received Date Stamp may consist of no less than:
1. "Month" — alpha or numeric characters.
2. "Day " — two digits: 01–31. (For example, -1, 1, or 01)
3. "Year" — two or four digits.
4. Area Office (AO), Campus, Field Office, TAC Office (or similar term for an IRS location) plus the City/Location of the site, or
5. A functional area within one of these sites (e.g., Compliance Services Collection Operations (CSCO), Examination (Exam), Image Control Team (ICT), Consolidated Imaging System (CIS), Accounts Management (AM), etc.).
Note:

Any Date stamp that DOES NOT have to have the word "Received." should not be entered as the Received Date. DO NOT enter dates from other date stamps such as Resort Received Date, Postmark, Received Dates stamped by taxpayers, EEFAX dates, etc.
Date fields are 8 positions in MMDDCCYY format. Normally operators enter the received date in MMDDYY, the century digits are system generated based on the year entered. However, if the last two digits of the year (YY) is greater than or equal to 50, all 8 positions must be entered. If the incorrect century is generated, correct the century by arrowing back to the century digits and correcting them.

Note:

In some date fields, the full 8 digit date must always be entered. These fields are indicated in the document-specific IRMs.

When a hyphen is before a digit, enter a zero (0) in place of the hyphen. When a hyphen is after a digit, enter a zero (0) before the digit.

Date Field Examples:

SHOWN AS	ENTER AS	DISPLAYED AS
April 15, 2000	041500	04152000

April 15, 1949	04151949	04151949

The Received Date must be an Official stamp or edited on the return. If two or more Received Dates are stamped on the return and neither has been edited, pick up the earliest date.

Caution:

Always use the following standard abbreviations when abbreviating addresses unless the word is part of the street name (such as "Court Street" or "Circle Avenue" ). If the taxpayer has used a non-standard abbreviation and the operator can determine if it corresponds to one below (such as "Str" instead of "St" or "Hghwy" instead of "Hwy" ), use the standard abbreviation. The following list of address abbreviations, that are honored by the post office, must be used when an address line is too long, or may be used when the word is not the proper name of the street. These do not apply to the City/State field. These standard abbreviations may also be used on foreign returns.

City

After pressing <Enter> in the address field, a City/State Generation pop-up window will appear, unless your site has disabled this feature. This window allows the system to access US Postal Service data to generate the city and state from the first 3 letters of the city and the 5 digit ZIP Code.

The pop-up window contains City Key and ZIP Code fields:

City Key - If there is a Major City Code (MCC) available for the city as shown in Exhibit 3.24.38-3 , enter the 2 digit code and press <Enter>. If the city is shown in the list in Exhibit 3.24.38-4, the MCC's from the list can be used because the system is unable to generate the city and state for these cities. If you do not enter an MCC, enter the first 3 letters of the city. After 3 letters are entered, the cursor automatically moves to the ZIP Code field.

Note:

If DPO, "APO" or "FPO" is shown, enter DPO, "APO" or "FPO" as the City Key.

Note:

Do not use abbreviations such as N, NO, S, SO, E, W, NW, ST or FT when entering the city key even if the abbreviation is shown on the return. Use the first three letters of the spelled-out city name.

City Key Examples

CITY SHOWN ON RETURN	ENTER CITY KEY AS
St. Louis	SAI
So. Pasadena	SOU
W. Covina	WES
Ft. Lauderdale	FOR
N. Kansas City	NOR
McAllen	MCA
APO New York	APO
FPO Miami	FPO

ZIP Code - Enter the first 5 digits of the ZIP Code and press <Enter>. If other than 5 digits, enter the digits shown up to a maximum of 5 digits. Do not enter digits from the ZIP plus 4 code. If illegible or missing, press <Enter>.

For returns with a foreign address, enter the foreign country code for the City Key and leave the ZIP Key blank. Verify that the foreign country code is correct and press <Enter> or <F6>/<*> through the generated fields.
After entering the ZIP Code, the Pop-up window closes.
- If a Major City Code (MCC) and the ZIP Code were entered, no attempt is made to match against Postal Data. The MCC will appear in the CITY field, the ZIP Code will appear in the ZIP field, and the cursor will be positioned in the CITY field. Verify that the MCC and ZIP Code are correct and press <Enter> or <F6>/<*> through the generated fields.
- If the first 3 letters of the city and the ZIP Code were entered and a "good match" is found in the postal data, the city and state will generate, the ZIP Code will appear in the ZIP field, and the cursor will be positioned in the CITY field. A "good match" occurs when there is one and only one exact match between the data entered in the Pop-up window and the US Postal Service data. Verify that the City, State, and ZIP Code are correct and press <Enter> or <F6>/<*> through the generated fields. (If no state is shown on the return but a "good match" was found accept the generated State as correct.)
- If the system generates a city that is spelled differently than the spelling on the document, leave the spelling as generated.
- If there is no "good match" found and an MCC was not entered, the city and state must be entered manually. The ZIP Code will appear in the ZIP field.

If the city and state are not generated or the City/State Generation pop-up window did not appear, enter the city as follows:

Space for all hyphens (-) and ampersands (&).
Omit any apostrophes. Do not space for an apostrophe.
Disregard all counties and parishes.
If two or more cities are present and neither is edited, enter a single pound sign.
If no city is shown, but a township or military installation is shown, enter it as the city.
If there is a Major City Code (MCC) available for the city, as shown in Exhibit 3, enter the 2 letter alpha code and press <Enter>.
Correct obviously misspelled cities.
If North, South, East or West is shown at the beginning of the city name, use the standard abbreviation (i.e., N = North, S = South). In all other situations, spell out the direction. Major City Codes are not used in this instance.
If a number is shown as part of the city, it must be spelled out.

Examples of city names are as follows:

3.24.38.3.4.14.20 (01-01-2018)

Preparer's SSN, Firm's EIN and Preparer's TIN

The Preparer's Social Security Number (PSSN) field can contain the preparer's true SSN or a unique number assigned to the preparer by the IRS to protect the confidentiality of his or her SSN. A number assigned by the IRS contains a "P" in the first position followed by 8 numbers. The Preparer's TIN contains the preparer's true EIN.
If the Preparer's Taxpayer Identification Number (PTIN) or Firm's EIN is not in the proper box (i.e., stamped on the return), put it in the proper field based on the format as shown on the return.
If the number is not in the standard format or illegible, follow instructions in IRM 3.24.38.3.4.14.4, Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs).

3.24.38.3.4.14.21 (01-01-2016)

Enter the 10 digit numeric phone number including Area Code. Disregard any special characters and blanks.
If more than 10 digits are present, only enter the first 10 digits.
If any part of the number (for example, Area Code) is missing or illegible, press <Enter>.
If there is more than one telephone number present, enter the first 10 digits of the first complete telephone number.
Disregard a leading "1" or "011" .
Tax preparer may stamp the telephone number on the return along with the Firm's EIN or Preparer's TIN. If so, enter the telephone number stamped.

Definitions

Alphanumeric Block Control (ABC) — A three-character alpha-numeric code assigned to each block of input documents to track and control the movement of work through submission processing. It may be pre-printed, handwritten, or appear on a label in the upper left corner of the block header document, i.e., Form 1332 or Form 813, or in the box entitled "Block Control Number" .
Batch Number — A number assigned to one or more blocks of documents to aid in the control and tracking of documents during submission processing.
Block Out of Balance (BOB) — A condition existing in a given block of documents that creates an out-of-balance condition. Examples of BOB conditions are:
- The sum of money amounts in each document does not match the block header total for the block.
- The actual count of documents within the block is different than the count from the block header.
Calendar Year — Twelve (12) consecutive months ending December 31.
Check Digit — Two letters, A to Z (excluding E, G, and M), that are validated by the system against the TIN to make sure both are entered correctly.
Document Locator Number (DLN) — A fourteen (14) digit number assigned to each input document for control purposes.
Document-specific IRM — An IRM containing data entry instructions that are specific to the forms or documents covered by the IRM.
Edited Data — Colored pencil entries and alterations to existing entries by other IRS functional areas, such as Code and Edit, Entity, etc., on an input document. Examples include colored pencil circling, X-ing, underlining and changing of existing entries, and new entries.
Element — An item of data that is to be transcribed. Each element is identified on the ISRP Transcription Operation Sheets to indicate its location on the document and the sequence of transcription.
Enhanced Entity Index File (E-EIF) — A database containing entity information extracted from taxpayer account data on the Master File.
Entity — Taxpayer identifying information, such as name, address, Taxpayer Identification Number, Tax Period.
Entity Area — The area of an input document where the taxpayer's identifying information appears.
Field — The area on the input screen in which an item of data is transcribed.
Field Termination Keys — A key that is used to move to a subsequent field. The four keys are
- <Enter> indicates a positive field and moves the cursor to the next field
- <-> (minus sign) indicates negative amounts and moves the cursor to the next field
- <F6>/<*> indicates a positive field and moves the cursor to the next MUST ENTER field or to the next section.
Fiscal Year — Twelve (12) consecutive months ending on the last day of any month other than December.
Intermediate Entity — A condition in which the operator must enter all the taxpayer's address information because an entity check resulted in a match on the TIN/Name Control and a mismatch on the Address Key.
Long Entity — A condition in which the operator must enter all the taxpayer's address information because an entity check resulted in a mismatch on both the TIN/Name Control and the Address Key or no entity check was performed.
MUST ENTER Field — A field that requires an entry or a field that must be overridden if there is no entry.
Must Fill Field — A field in which all positions must be filled
Must Verify Field — A field that must be key-verified because data was entered in OE.
Name Control — The first four characters of the taxpayer's name. The Name Control is used for validation purposes.
Negative Entry — An entry that is indicated as negative by the presence of brackets, parentheses or a minus sign.
Positive Entries — An entry that is indicated as positive by the absence of brackets, parentheses or a minus sign.
Prior Year — A tax return with a tax period other than the current tax period.
Prompt — A series of letters, numbers and/or special characters appearing on the screen display. The prompt indicates to the operator which item of data on the input document is to be transcribed.
Received date — The date a return or payment is received by the IRS at any office or Submission Processing site.
Re-Entry Blocks — A block containing documents that were incorrectly processed initially and must be re-entered in ISRP. A Re-entry block can be one of three types depending on how far along in processing the document(s) in the block was when the incorrect processing was identified:
- A document that fell out during submission processing (for example, during Error Resolution) is called a "SC Reinput" and is identified with re-entry source code "4" .
- A document that fell out during Master File processing as Unpostable is called a "Reinput of Unpostable Document" and is identified with re-entry source code "N" .
- A document that has posted incorrectly to the Master File is called a "Reprocessable" and is identified with re-entry source code "R" .
Residual Remittance Processing System Identification Number (RPSID)— a number assigned to all remittances received by the service. The number contains the batch number, sequence number, and the date the remittance was processed.
Section — A series of fields that have been grouped together for processing purposes and assigned an identifying section number.
Serial Number — The 12th and 13th digits of the DLN that uniquely identify a document within a block.
Short Entity — Condition in which the operator does not enter the taxpayer's address.
Zero filled Field — A field in which the system generates leading zeros in front of the data entered in the field.
