Program Scope and Objectives

  1. Purpose: This section provides instructions for entering and verifying data from block control documents and various revenue receipt forms.

  2. Audience: The primary users of this IRM are Submission Processing employees; mainly data transcribers, clerks and managers

  3. Policy Owner: The Director of Submission Processing

  4. Program Owner: Paper Processing Branch, Mail Management / Data Conversion Section (an organization within Submission Processing)

  5. Primary Stakeholder: Management officials who rely on accurate data gathered by the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) Program

Background

  1. The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) System transcribes and formats data from paper returns/documents/vouchers for input into the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) and other systems by key entry operators. It also captures check images for archiving. Transaction Management System (TMS) is a COTS product that is an integral part of ISRP.

Authority

  1. Authority for these procedures is found in Title 26 of the United States Code (USC) or more commonly known as the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The IRC has been amended by acts, public laws, treasury determinations, rules, and regulations such as the following:

    • The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act

    • IRC 7804(c)

    • IRC 6020(b)

      Note:

      The above list may not be all inclusive of the various updates to the IRC.

  2. All policy statements for Submission Processing are contained in IRM 1.2.1.4 , Service wide Policies and Authorities, Policy Statements for Submission Processing Activities:

    • Code sections which provide the IRS with the authority to issue levies.

  2. Intermediate entity—Changes only to street address, city/state and/or ZIP code. Enter the SSN, check digit/name control, spouse's SSN (if altered), street address, city/state and ZIP code.

    • Note:

      Pre-addressed with no changes and a solid or broken black line above and to the left of the entity area will be processed as intermediate entity.

  3. Partial entity—Changes to the name lines and no changes to the primary SSN, street address, city/state and ZIP code. Enter the SSN, spouse's SSN (if present), first name line and second name line (if present).

    Exception:

    All pre-addressed returns that have a change to the first four characters of the primary last name (name control) will now be processed by accessing the Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF).

    • These returns will have an edited bracket preceding the taxpayer's last name with an edited "E" above the primary SSN.

  4. Long entity—Decedent returns or returns with the second name line underlined. Enter SSN, spouse's SSN (if present), first name line, second name line (if underlined), street address, city/state and ZIP code.

Pre-addressed Form 1040-ES with Change Only to Spouse's-SSN
  1. Pre-addressed with no changes except to spouse's-SSN—These documents will have no edited marks and will be processed as a short entity.

Non-Pre-addressed Form 1040-ES
  1. Non-pre-addressed—all non-pre-addressed documents will be processed against the Enhanced-Entity Index File.

Type of Entity

  1. The ISRP system will allow the choice of entity type by prompting with "TYPE OF ENTITY?" .

  2. The following should be entered:

    • "S" for Short Entity

    • "I" for Intermediate Entity

    • "P" for Partial Entity

    • "L" for Long Entity

  3. The ISRP system will respond with: SHORT ENTITY; INTERMEDIATE ENTITY; PARTIAL ENTITY; or LONG ENTITY and only the fields required to be entered for that particular entity will be prompted.

  4. To access the E-EIF, press the <ENTER> key.

    Note:

    If the check digit is used the system will not prompt the elements for the Enhanced-Entity Index File.)

  5. If the type of entity selected is incorrect, see IRM 3.24.10.3.4, Incorrect Type of Entity for correction procedures.

Enhanced-Entity Index File

  1. The Enhanced-Entity Index File is used to determine which entity to transcribe from a return that does not have a pre-printed label and is not edited for Short Entity.

  2. Always enter Long Entity without going through the Enhanced-Entity Index File if the primary SSN is missing, illegible or incomplete.

Original Entry (OE)
  1. "TYPE OF ENTITY?" — in order to access the Enhanced-Entity Index File, always press the <ENTER> key for this element.

    • A name control must be used. If the check digit is used, the system will not prompt the elements for the Enhanced-Entity Index File.

    • If the TYPE OF ENTITY selected is incorrect, see IRM 3.24.10.3.4, Incorrect Type of Entity for correction procedures.

  2. ADDRESS KEY—Enter the first three numeric digits in the address and the last two numeric digits of the five-digit ZIP Code. Space for missing digits. Press the <ENTER> key.

  3. Examples are as follows:

  4. A comparison of each original entry input will be made against the Enhanced-Entity Index File and a response will be generated to the Entry Operator (EOP). After entry of the filing status the system will respond with the type of entity as follows:

    • Short Entity—A complete match. The name control may be replaced by the check digit and the system will display: SHORT ENTITY. The cursor will stop in the next field for entry.

    • Intermediate Entity—A complete match except for the Address Key. The NC may be replaced with the check digit and the system will display: INTERMEDIATE ENTITY. The cursor will stop in the next field for entry.

    • Partial Entity — Changes only to NAME1 and/or NAME2.

    • Long Entity—The entity not found on the Enhanced-Entity Index File. The system will display: ENTITY INFO CORRECT?

  5. Use the following procedures when the message ENTITY INFO CORRECT? is encountered:

    1. Check all information previously entered, particularly the name control and SSN. (This is being done in order to reduce unpostables.)

    2. If any error is found, enter "N" for "No" , the cursor will appear on the Name Control Field.

    3. After the correction has been made, press the <ENTER> key through the Filing Status field. To make the corrections, you will need to reenter the address key and Filing Status Code.

    4. The system will access the Enhanced-Entity Index File again. If the account is found, the system will display SHORT, or INTERMEDIATE ENTITY. If the account is still not found, the ENTITY INFO CORRECT? message will appear again. If the message appears on the screen, corrections can be made. If the information is correct, press "Y" for "Yes" to continue. The system will display: LONG ENTITY. The cursor will stop in the next field for entry.

  6. If the type of entity selected is incorrect, see IRM 3.24.10.3.4, Incorrect Type of Entity for correction procedures.

  7. If the Entity is down, the operator may not know because no messages are displayed on the screen. All the entities will return LONG. No action is required by the operator.

Key Verification (KV)
  1. Key verifiers will receive a display as described below.

  2. Short Entity—Section Number and SHORT ENTITY. The EOP will key the serial number, the tax period (only in Doc. 00) and then, continue with Section 01.

    • The name and address prompts will be skipped automatically.

      Exception:

      If the NC is present, the KV EOP must key the NC and the primary SSN.

  3. Intermediate Entity—Section Number and INTERMEDIATE ENTITY. The EOP will key the serial number, address lines and Doc. 00 only and then continue with Section 01.

    • The Name prompts will be skipped automatically.

      Exception:

      If the NC is present, the KV EOP must key the name control and the primary SSN.

  4. Partial Entity—Section Number and PARTIAL ENTITY. The EOP will key the Serial Number. Verification will continue with the primary SSN.

  5. Long Entity—Section Number and LONG ENTITY. The EOP will key the Serial Number. Verification will continue with the primary SSN.

    Note:

    Key Verification (KV) acts the same as Original Entry (OE). For example, if the OE operator entered an "S" , the KV Operator must enter an "S" . If an <ENTER> is pressed, the KV Operator must press <ENTER>. On "S" from the E-EIF, you key the Serial Number and then land on S-SSN. If any other entity, you must access EIF the same way as the KV operator. You will receive the Pop-Up Window just the same. If KV input does not match OE, you will receive an error message.

Incorrect Type of Entity

  1. After passing the Type of Entity field, you can correct the entity.

  2. If the determination is made after the S–SSN field and the system has responded with SHORT ENTITY, LONG ENTITY, etc., use the following procedures:

    1. The screen will display the prompt TYPE OF ENTITY after the Serial Number field. This field will be displayed during OE and KV; however, the system will bypass this field during KV and stop in a blank field to allow for corrections during OE.

    2. Enter the correct "Type of Entity" (S, L, I, P). The system response shown at the top of the screen will change to the corrected entity (e.g., SHORT ENTITY to LONG ENTITY).

    3. These correction procedures can be initiated at any time and in any mode (i.e., OE, KV or Find).

Form 1040-C, U.S. Departing Alien Income Tax Return

  1. Form 1040-C will be transcribed as long entity.

  2. Complete entity—all information (SSN, name lines, address, city/state and ZIP code) will be entered.

Form 1040-C, Form 1040-ES, and Form 3244

  1. This section provides instructions for entering data for Form 1040-C, Form 1040-ES, and Form 3244.

Name Line Entry

  1. If a single name appears on the first name line, enter a hyphen (-) in the first position followed by a caret (<) and the name. The hyphen is keyed using the MINUS (-) Field Termination key. Do not space between the hyphen, caret and the name. Examples:

    Taxpayer Entry: Enter as:
    Swallow -<SWALLOW
    Blue Jay -<BLUE JAY

  2. For other specific criteria, see IRM 3.24.37, General Instructions

  3. Always enter an ampersand (&) for the word "and" , "or" between two names if not already present.

  4. Always enter "Jr." or "Sr." where shown on the document. Examples:

    Taxpayer Entry: Enter as:
    Hugh J. (Wren) Sr. HUGH J<Wren<SR
    John Jr. and Mary (Wren) JOHN JR &
    MARY<WREN
    John (Parrot) Jr. and Mary Wren JOHN<Parrot<JR &
    MARY WREN

  5. Enter any numeric characters in the first name line as Roman numerals (alpha). Examples:

    Taxpayer Entry: Enter as:
    John E. (Hummingbird) 4th JOHN E<HUMMINGBIRD<IV
    John H. (Crow) III JOHN H<CROW<III

  6. Always enter DECD as an abbreviation for: Decedent, Deceased, Dec'd., Dec't., etc. Enter DECD where shown on the document. Examples:

    Taxpayer Entry: Enter as: In Field
    James C (Sparrow) Jr. Dec'd Enter as: JAMES C<SPARROW<JR DECD (First Name Line)
    Jim E. Deceased & Joy (Hawk Enter as: JIM E DECD & JOY<HAWK
    JOY HAWK
    (First Name Line)
    (Second Name Line)

  7. Underlining will identify an entry for the Second Name Line. Example: Fargo Trust, Executor for John (Robin) Decd

    Enter as: On Name Line
    JOHN<ROBIN<DECD
    FARGO TRUST EXECUTOR
    (First Name Line)
    (Second Name Line)

  8. Enter a space in the true last name where shown (i.e., "de Porta" or "von Dirk" will have a space between "de" and "Porta" and "von" and "Dirk" ).

First Name Line Validity Checks

  1. If the first name line contains invalid data, the error message INVALID DATA will appear. The following is a list of conditions that will cause the error message.

    • Must have at least one caret (<).

    • No more than two carets.

    • First position must be A through Z or hyphen (-).

    • Last position cannot be a caret.

    • No blank spaces immediately before or after a caret.

    • Position immediately following the first caret must be alpha.

    • Position immediately following the second caret must be alpha or ampersand (&).

    • Cannot have two or more consecutive blanks.

    • Cannot have more than one ampersand.

    • Cannot have an ampersand between two carets.

Name Control Check Against Enhanced-Entity Index File

  1. If a document is entered with a name control rather than a check digit, the system will access the Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF) to determine if the account is already established on the Master File. This procedure is being done to reduce the number of unpostables.

  2. As soon as the TIN field is entered, the system will access E-EIF. During this time, screen activity will occur, and no entry can be made into the terminal.

  3. When the check has been completed, the next prompt will appear, and entry may continue.

    • If the account is located, the check digit will appear in the Check Digit field on the screen. The TIN/CD/NC fields will bypass verification.

    • If the account is not located, the name control will remain on the screen as entered.

    • Error Correction:

      Note:

      If you discover an error in keying the TIN or the name control after the E-EIF has been accessed, you cannot access the NC or SSN fields to make a correction. Because the E-EIF has also identified an error and the error indicators have been set, you must press the <F9> key to abandon entry. Answer "Yes" to the question and then press <F4> to return. Re-enter the serial number, then re-key the document in error to make a correction. At this point, the E-EIF will be re-accessed with no error indicators set. This procedure affects all forms except the Form 1040-ES and Form 1040-C.
