Program Scope and Objectives

  1. This section provides information on the use of the Integrated Data Retrieval Request System (IDRS), terminal input command code, IDT48/IDT58/RPM48/RPM58/CSO48/CSO58/ELP45. The information in this section is a general guide for the input of content of IDRS.

  2. Purpose: This IRM section provides instructions for inputting command codes IDT48/IDT58/RPM48/RPM58/CSO48/CSO58/ELP45.

  3. Audience: Customer Service Representatives

  4. Policy Owner: The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is responsible for overseeing all aspects of our systems that operate the nation’s tax infrastructure.

  5. Program Owner: IT CIO

  6. Primary: W&I

  7. Program Goals: In support of service-wide efforts to recognize and resolve identity theft issues, while striving to provide a uniform and consistent approach to victim assistance, we are requesting to automate the current manual process for returning and applying a refund credit to a taxpayer’s account that was involved in an ID Theft occurrence. In instances where taxpayers are victims of identity theft, and a tax return is filed fraudulently, the service needs to take the necessary steps to resolve the posted transactions on the valid/true taxpayer’s account. Implementation of the automated process will result in a more expeditious resolution to the taxpayers account and will save on resources that are currently being expended in multiple operating divisions. The ID Theft command codes will process one-sided refund reversal for valid taxpayer affected by ID THEFT, Preparer Misconduct and Child Support Offset addition to fraudulent tax refunds identified through the External Lead Processing. The system will process credit transfers for an IMF and BMF (for IDT48/IDT58 only) taxpayer account while debiting a GENERAL LEDGER ACCOUNT so that affected taxpayers will be identified and given relief more quickly.

Background

  1. This IRM and the contained sections provide the user the necessary information on how to use the command codes IDT48/IDT58/RPM48/RPM58/CSO48/CSO58/ELP45.

Authority

  1. The ID Theft command codes were developed to process one-sided refund reversal for valid taxpayer affected by ID Theft, Preparer Misconduct and Child Support Offset in addition to fraudulent tax refunds identified through the External Lead Processing.

    4. Data description: Entity Record: Each individual taxpayer or business is assigned a unique identity that contains information about them such as SSN/EIN, name, and address. Module Record: These records are tax forms submitted by the taxpayer or business for a specific tax period and correspond to the entity record. Information that creates a unique key on this record would be the SSN/EIN, MFT (tax form), plan number, tax period, and control name. One or more module records can be assigned to an entity record.
