Background

  1. Paper returns and schedules are sent to the IRS by filers to fulfill their requirement to file a paper return and provide their taxpayer identification number (TIN). IRS must convert these returns to an electronic data record for use. Validation of the paper return information and conversion to electronic data is required.

Authority

  1. The following provides authority for the procedures in this IRM to be performed in support of completing compliance functions to make credits or refunds of any internal revenue tax, processing of non-revenue forms, and administrative support forms.

    1. Title 26 of the United States Code (USC) or more commonly known as the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).

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

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

    • Congressional Acts which outline additional authorities and responsibilities like the Travel and Transportation Reform Act of 1998 or the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

    • Policy statements that provide authority for the work being done.

    Note:

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

Roles and Responsibilities

  1. The Operation manager secures, assigns, and provides training for the staff needed to perform the duties presented in this IRM.

  2. The Planning and Analysis staff provides feedback and support to local management to monitor and achieve scheduled goals.

  3. The team manager assigns, monitors, and controls the workflow to accomplish timely completion of the duties presented in this IRM.

  4. The employee applies the instruction for the duties presented in this IRM on the SCRIPS system to accurately convert paper data to an electronic data record for proper posting for use by the IRS.

Program Management and Review

  1. Program Reports: The reports listed below show receipts, production, and inventory for conversion of paper returns to electronic data. Management uses these reports to monitor the daily and weekly status of the program through completion.

    • IPS0083, Workstation Operator Statistics Program and Function Summary Report

    • IPS10610, Run Balancing Report

    • IPS06440, Throughput Statistics Report

    • PCC 2240, Daily Production Report - Program Sequence

IRM Deviations

  1. These instructions supersede all instructions in other IRMs regarding the processing of Schedule K-1 documents.

  2. IRM Deviations - Must be submitted in writing following the instructions from IRM 1.11.2.2, Internal Management Documents System - Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) Process Standards and elevated through proper channels for executive approval.

Program Codes

  1. Use the program codes listed below when processing Schedules K-1 through SCRIPS, unless otherwise instructed:

    Return Type Program Code Tax Class/Doc Code Parent
    Tax Class/Doc Code
    1041 Schedule K-1 44386 566 244
    1065 Schedule K-1 44387 565 265
    1120-S Schedule K-1 44388 567 316

  2. Use the program codes listed below when processing Schedules K-1 through E-File, unless otherwise instructed:

    Return Type Program Code Tax Class/Doc Code Parent
    Tax Class/Doc Code
    1041 Schedule K-1 44390 566 236
    1065 Schedule K-1 44360 565 265
    1120-S Schedule K-1 44370 567 316
    1. Code and Edit: should use the parent return program codes for coding both the parent returns and the Schedules K-1. Don’t use a 4438X - program code when coding the Schedules K-1.

    2. Batching/Numbering: should use the Schedule K-1 program codes for time spent batching and numbering Schedules K-1.

    3. Data Conversion: should use the parent return program code when transcribing the parent returns and the Schedule K-1 program code when transcribing Schedules K-1. (Use the program codes listed above.)

    4. Bob Register Transcription: should use program code 44930.

    5. Error Resolution (ERS): should use function/program code 340–44380.

    6. BOB Register: should use function/program code 620–44380.

Extracting and Sorting

  1. Schedules K-1 attached to the parent returns are not sorted during the sorting function. However, because of Schedules K-1 processing, parent returns do require additional sorts.

  2. Sort the parent returns into the following categories:

    1. Remittance versus Non-remittance

    2. Refund versus Non-refund

    3. Tax period

      • Current timely filed calendar year (current processing year minus one)

      • One-Year Prior (current processing year minus two )

      • Two-Years Prior (current processing year minus three)

      • Prior Year (current processing year minus four or more)

      • Current fiscal and delinquent current year (current processing year minus one)

      • Future Years (current processing year)

    4. Current forms and future Form 1041 with Schedules K-1 attached versus without Schedules K-1 attached.

    5. Code and Edit detaches current year, one-year prior to current year and two-years prior to current year Schedules K-1. Always detach future year Schedules K-1. DO NOT detach Schedules K-1 that are three or more years prior to current year.

      Note:

      When a future return with an attached Schedule K-1 is found in a current year batch, pull the return and re-batch.

Batching for Original Entry (OE) Paper

  1. When documents are severely torn, cut or separated, the ink is to light, or for any other reason can’t pass through the scanner they will need to be processed as OE Paper.

  2. Instructions for batching "OE Paper" returns:

    1. Place approximately 25-80 returns into a gusset folder.

    2. Place gusset folders containing returns on a batch cart.

    3. Establish batches on BBTS using the Document Locator Number (DLN) Reference Number specifically set up for SCRIPS OE Paper.

    4. Clearly mark the Batch Transmittal "OE Paper."

    5. Line through the SCRIPS DLN on the Batch Transmittal.

    6. Manually generate DLNs in BBTS using the Off-Line DLN Generation Screen and stamp the DLN on the returns.

Code and Edit

  1. This section has instructions for processing parent returns with Schedules K-1 through Code and Edit.

  2. Schedule K-1 parent returns are processed in Kansas City Submission Processing Center (KCSPC) and Ogden Submission Processing Center (OSPC).

  3. Edit Schedules K-1 in red ink.

  4. If the return is for three or more years prior to current year, don’t research or correspond for missing or incomplete Schedules K-1.

  5. Verify that the pre-printed year on the Schedules K-1 matches the beginning tax year on the parent return. If not, edit the YY digits on all Schedule K-1 forms to the beginning tax period of the parent return.

  6. The beginning and ending tax periods must be in the same year, if not the Schedules K-1 fallout to ERS if not edited correctly.

    Note:

    If the Schedules K-1 are blank and:
    • Calendar year - no action needed.
    • Fiscal year - edit the tax period (beginning and ending) to list the same tax year.

    Example:

    If 2022 is the pre-printed year on the Schedules K-1 and the beginning tax period on the parent return is 2023, then line through the 22(YY) and edit 23(YY) on all Schedules K-1. Also, if the pre-printed year on the Schedules K-1 is 2022 and the beginning tax period on the parent return is 2021, then line through the 22(YY) and edit 2021 (YY) on all Schedules K-1.

  7. If the ending tax period isn’t in the same year as the beginning tax period, edit the ending tax period on the Schedules K-1 using the final quarter of the tax year, to ensure the beginning and ending tax periods are in the same year.

    Example:

    Beginning tax period is February 2023 and the ending tax period is January 2024 the ending tax period is 122023.

    Note:

    Watch that batches of work do not contain mixed tax periods since SCRIPS systemically deletes any batches with mixed tax periods causing rework and reprocessing.

    1. When making this correction be sure to edit to the right of the printed tax year in the Document Locator Number (DLN) area.

    2. When finding future returns with attached Schedules K-1 in a current year batch, pull the return(s) and re-batch.

  8. Ensure that each tax year is in separate gussets. Different years cannot be in the same gusset/box.

  9. If an exact duplicate of a Schedule K-1 has been filed with the parent return, process one Schedule K-1 and cross out the duplicate Schedule K-1 with an "X" and leave the duplicate attached to the parent return.

  10. Don’t bracket negative amounts. (See IRM 3.0.101.7 for Money Amount Fields instructions).

  11. If two-dollar amounts are listed on the same line, manually add together and enter total amount on the first line only.

  12. If the Individual Master File (IMF) payee social security number (SSN) or Business Master File (BMF) payee employer identification number (EIN) isn’t found in the correct box but is in the name and address box, re-write the SSN/EIN in the SSN/EIN box.

  13. A payer TIN must be present on at least the first Schedule K-1. If not present, enter the TIN from the parent return in the SSN/EIN box. If the TIN on the parent return has changed, enter the new parent TIN on the payer TIN line.

  14. Edit a check mark or "X" in the amended box of the Schedule K-1, if the parent return of the Schedules K-1 is an amended or corrected return and the amended box is not checked. Detach from parent and continue processing.

  15. When Schedules K-1 are received in continuous formats (e.g., computer listings and typed listings) correspond requesting separate Schedules K-1. Don’t dispose of the listing as it is an attachment to a tax return.
    When correspondence is required for the paragraph above, one of the following letters should be used:

    Note:

    If correspondence is necessary reattach all Schedules K-1 to the parent return.

  16. Don’t correspond for the missing, incomplete, or incorrect Schedules K-1 for Form 1065 on the following types of returns:

    • Sec. 6020(b) returns

    • Sec. 501(d) returns, Religious and Apostolic Organizations

    • Returns filed for three or more years prior to current year

      Note:

      Correspond for missing, incomplete, incorrect Schedules K-1 or number of partners (Line I) on current year, one-year prior to current year and two-years prior to current year returns.

  17. When reviewing Form 1065 Schedule K-1 and the partnership has indicated the number of Schedules K-1 is "1" and/or the Schedules K-1 attached to the return has 100% interest in the partnership then follow the instructions in IRM 3.11.15.16(6), Line I - Number of Schedules K-1 (or Number of Partners).

  18. When the Form 1065 Schedule K-1 shows two names listed in the partner’s name and address section:

    • Correspond to request separate Schedules K-1 using Letter 1355-C or approved local correspondence procedures.

    • Notate the letter sent in the lower left margin of Form 1065.

  21. Form 1041, non-taxable grantor trust filers aren’t required to file Schedules K-1. Do not process or detach any Schedules K-1 attached to a Non-taxable Grantor Trust. These trusts are edited with a Fiduciary Code of 4 and a Trust Code of 3. See IRM 3.11.14.13.4.1, Grantor Trusts, for updated instructions concerning Grantor Trust returns.

Unprocessable Schedules K-1

  1. The criteria for unprocessable Schedules K-1 are as follows:

    • The tax period is more than two-years prior to current year.

    • The payer information shows a different entity than the parent entity.

    • The form is a 1065-B Schedule K-1 or Schedule K-1 is attached to a Form 1065-B.

    • Schedule K-1 attached to Form 1041 for Non-Taxable Grantor Trust.

    • The form is blank (no entity information and no line entries).

      Note:

      When the form is completely blank (no entity information and no line entries) the form can be put in classified waste.

  2. Discontinue processing any Schedules K-1 if income reported is for a different tax year than the form.

  3. When processing is discontinued attach the unprocessable form(s) to the parent return.

    Exception:

    When the form is completely blank (no entity information and no line entries) the form can be put in classified waste.

Standard Schedules K-1

  1. To be processable, the Schedules K-1 must meet all the following requirements:

    • Must be for the parent return it is attached to, e.g., if attached to Form 1065 the Schedule K-1 must be a Form 1065 Schedule K-1.

    • Schedules K-1 must contain the payer and payee’s name, address, and SSN/EIN.

    • Each taxpayer’s information must be on a separate Schedule K-1 form.

      Exception:

      Don’t correspond if a married couple (same last name) are filing a Schedule K-1 as one Beneficiary, Partner or Shareholder in a "Trust, Partnership or Corporation."

    • The amount of each partner, shareholder or beneficiary share cannot be combined as one total.

  2. If the Schedules K-1 don’t meet the requirements listed above, research the return and attachments, if information isn’t found, research Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS). If unable to find the missing information, and the payee is not a foreign entity correspond to request a valid Schedule K-1 using:

    As of October 29, 2008, returns are no longer sent back to the taxpayer for missing information/signature per Chief Counsel opinion issued in September 2008.

    Exception:

    There must be an SSN/EIN in the payee entity area to research IDRS. If the SSN/EIN isn’t present, and only a name OR only an address is present, DO NOT research IDRS. There isn’t enough information to find the correct payee. Either process the Schedules K-1 as is or correspond for the missing information if the K-1s are required.

    Note:

    If correspondence is necessary reattach all Schedules K-1 to the parent return.

Substitute Schedules K-1

  1. Schedules K-1 can be submitted in substitute format (e.g., 2D Bar Code).

  2. Edit Section 16 to tell clerks where to put payer information.

  3. To be processable, substitute Schedules K-1 must meet all the following requirements:

    • Schedules K-1 must contain the payer and payee’s name, address, and SSN/EIN.

    • Each taxpayer's information must be on a separate Schedule K-1 form.

      Exception:

      Don’t correspond if a married couple (same last name) are filing a Schedule K-1 as one Beneficiary, Partner or Shareholder in a "Trust, Partnership or Corporation."

    • The amount of each partner, shareholder or beneficiary share cannot be combined as one total.

  4. If the substitute Schedules K-1 don’t meet the requirements listed above, research the return and attachments, if information isn’t found research IDRS. If unable to find the missing information, and the payee is not a foreign entity correspond to request a valid Schedule K-1 using:

    • Letter 177-C for Form 1041 Schedule K-1

    • Letter 1355-C for Form 1065 Schedule K-1

    • Letter 118-C for Form 1120-S Schedule K-1

    As of October 29, 2008, returns are no longer sent back to the taxpayer for missing information/signature per Chief Counsel opinion issued in September 2008.

    Exception:

Non-Standard Schedules K-1

  1. Schedules K-1 can be submitted in non-standard format. A non-standard Schedule K-1 has missing lines.

  2. Edit Section 16 to tell clerks where to put payer information.

  3. For all processable non-standard Schedules K-1, DO NOT black out the Forms Identification Number found in the upper right corner of the Schedule K-1.

  4. To be processable, non-standard Schedules K-1 must meet all the following requirements:

    • Schedules K-1 must contain the payer and payee’s name, address, and SSN/EIN.

    • Line items may be missing, however, line items that are present must be in the same order as those on the official form.

Loose Schedules K-1

  1. If loose Schedules K-1 are received in Code and Edit, research for the parent return DLN and proceed as follows:

    If parent return DLN and Schedule K-1 Then
    Is found and is for either current year, one-year prior to current year, two-years prior to current year or future year
    1. Write the parent DLN in the upper left of the Schedule K-1.

    2. If the DLN is for an electronic filed return File Location Code (FLC) of DLN (first two-digits) are 14, 16, 22, 35, 38, 41, 43, 52, 64, 65, 72, 75, 76, 92, 93, or 95, destroy the Schedules K-1 using Service Center Procedures.

    3. Place the Schedules K-1 in a gusset folder and label the folder "Loose Schedules K-1."

    4. Forward the folder, with the Schedules K-1 to Batching/Numbering to continue processing.

    Is found and is for three or more years prior to current year
    1. Prepare an "attachment slip" requesting the Schedules K-1 be attached to the parent return if the parent return is not an electronic filed DLN.

    2. If parent return is an electronic filed DLN, destroy the Schedules K-1 as classified waste.

    Isn’t found and is for either current, one-year prior to current year, two-years prior to current year or future year
    1. Hold in suspense and monitor weekly for parent return DLN.

      • Current Year: Hold until six weeks after parent return Processing Completion Date (PCD).

      • One-Year Prior to Current Year: Hold until six weeks after parent return PCD.

      • Two-Years Prior to Current Year: Hold until six weeks after parent return PCD.

      • Future Year: Hold for six weeks (research ERS suspense and Master File, weekly, for parent DLN).

    2. If parent DLN is found, follow procedures above.

    3. If parent DLN is not found, route to Accounts Management as a loose schedule.

      Note:

      All Schedules K-1 need to be suspended for research of parent DLN for a minimum of six weeks.

    Isn’t found and is for three or more years prior to current year. Destroy the Schedules K-1 as classified waste.

Loose Schedules K-1 for Electronic File Returns

  1. When a loose Schedule K-1 is received from Code and Edit, research to determine if the Schedule K-1 is filed electronically with the parent return.

    IF AND THEN
    All Schedules K-1 are filed with the parent return. Schedules K-1 are for current, one-year prior to current year, two-years prior to current year future or prior year. Destroy the Schedules K-1 as classified waste.
       
    1. Destroy any Schedules K-1, as classified waste, if it is a duplicate of an electronic filed Schedule K-1.

    2. Place all other Schedules K-1 in a gusset folder and label the folder Loose Schedule K-1. Make sure the parent DLN is clearly written/stamped in the upper left margin of the first Schedule K-1 for that parent DLN.

    3. Forward the gusset folder, with the Schedules K-1 to Batching/Numbering to continue processing.

      Schedules K-1 are for three or more years prior to current year. Destroy Schedules K-1 as classified waste.

Schedules K-1 Received in Suspense/Rejects

  1. Schedules K-1 are form specific and should not be converted to match the parent return (i.e., Form 1065 must have a Form 1065 Schedule K-1, Form 1041 must have a Form 1041 Schedule K-1, or Form 1120-S must have a Form 1120-S Schedule K-1). If the Schedule does not match the parent form, don’t send the Schedules K-1 for processing. Take the necessary steps to have them attached to the parent return.

  2. For all others do the following when correspondence is received in Error Resolution.

    1. Separate the Schedules K-1 from the rest of the correspondence.

    2. Write or verify the parent return DLN is stamped in the upper left corner of the first Schedule K-1.

    3. Place the Schedules K-1 in a gusset folder and label the folder "Loose Schedule K-1."

    4. Forward the folder, with the Schedules K-1, to Numbering/Batching to continue processing.

    5. If there are attachments (other than the actual Schedules K-1), attach them to the parent return.

    6. If there are attachments (other than the actual Schedules K-1) and you don’t have the parent return, prepare an "attachment slip" requesting the documents be stapled to the parent return.

    7. If the Schedules are for other than the above returns (i.e., Form 1065-B, Form 8865), leave attached to the parent return.

    8. If the Schedules are for other than the above returns (i.e., Form 1065-B, Form 8865) and you don’t have the parent return, prepare an "attachment slip" requesting the document be attached to the parent return.

Money Amounts Fields

  1. Do not bracket negative amounts.

  2. If taxpayer enters a negative amount in a positive only field, "X" the negative amount. See table below for positive only fields for each Schedule K-1.

    Note:

    Lines with multiple entries, edit the first line only

    .

    Form 1065

    Line Number and Title
    Line 4a - Guaranteed Payments for Services
    Line 4b - Guaranteed Payments for Capital
    Line 4c - Total Guaranteed Payments
    Line 12 - Section 179 deduction
    Line 15 - Credits
     

    Form 1120-S

    Line Number and Title
    Line 11 - Section 179 deduction
    Line 13 - Credits
     

    Form 1041

    Line Number and Title
    Line 3 - Net Short-Term Capital Gain
    Line 4a - Net Long-Term Capital Gain
    Line 8 - Other Rental Income
    Line 13 - Credits and Credit Recapture
  3. Amounts are transcribed in dollars only. If taxpayer enters a positive or negative $.49 or less, "X" the amount. If taxpayer enters a positive or negative $.50 to $.99, edit a $1 or -$1, respectively.

  4. Schedules K-1 with zeros, blanks or dashes in the entire money amount T-Lines are considered a "Zero Balance Schedule K-1" and are valid, continue processing.

  5. Ogden Campus Only

    • Foreign documents – if a circled "U" is edited to the right of the name, on name line 1, enter "U" in the 2nd TIN Notification field in Section 02. The "U" code is valid with File Location Code 60 (Ogden) only.

    • When transcribing money amounts, the equivalent U.S. cents amount should not be transcribed. Many European currencies use commas for decimals and decimals for commas. Do not transcribe punctuation. Don’t transcribe the last two numeric digits of a foreign money amount if the amount is preceded by either a decimal or a comma (e.g., Deutsche Marks may be written as "DM 2.941,18" only 2941 should be transcribed).

Converting Schedule K-1 Forms

  1. Schedules K-1 are form specific and should not be converted to match the parent return, (i.e., Form 1065 must have a Form 1065 Schedule K-1, Form 1041 must have a Form 1041 Schedule K-1, and Form 1120-S must have a Form 1120-S Schedule K-1).

Prior Year Format for Schedules K-1

  1. All current year, one-year prior to current year and two-years prior to current year Schedules K-1 on a prior year form must be reformatted to current year format. See Exhibit 3.0.101-8, Conversion Chart.

  2. If there is a bar code present on the prior year revision (2012 and prior for Form 1120-S Schedule K-1, Form 1065 Schedule K-1 and Form 1041 Schedule K-1), using a marker, black out the straight lines on both sides of the bar code. See Figure 3.0.101-1, Black Out Bar Code on Prior Year Documents.

    Figure 3.0.101-1

Moving Processable Schedules K-1

  1. Separate processable Schedules K-1 from the parent return.

  2. Staple the parent return, attachments, unprocessable Schedules K-1 and envelope together.

  3. Move the processable Schedules K-1, un-stapled, to the back of the parent return.

Numbering Parent Returns

  1. When numbering the parent return, the Numbering function:

    1. Separates Schedules K-1 from the parent return and ensures all Schedules K-1 beginning tax year match the calendar/tax year of the parent return if other than calendar year.

    2. Assigns and stamps a DLN on the parent return on the upper right side of document. Stamp this same DLN in the upper left corner (at least 2 inches from the edge) on all Schedules K-1 for that parent. If there is no room in the upper margin, stamp DLN in the right-side margin. Do Not use the Entity area. See Figure 3.0.101-2, DLN Stamp Location.

      Note:

      It is very important that the parent DLN is clearly stamped on all Schedules K-1 as it is used during SCRIPS processing of the forms.

    3. Stamps or writes the parent block DLN on the gusset folder, places the parent returns in the folders and puts the folders on the batch cart, in DLN order and forwards to Data Conversion.

      Note:

      Ensure that each DLN has its own gusset folder. For example, 29244, 60244, 85244. These can all be put in the same box as the 29244, but they need to have their own folder and placed in the box in DLN order.

    4. Places the Schedules K-1 into a box in parent DLN numbered order.

    5. Places parent transmittal in the same slot holding folder 1 and transfers the numbered parent documents and numbered Schedules K-1 to the final tech's work area.

      Note:

      Although the parent documents are in folders and Schedules K-1 are in a box, they both need to remain with the transmittal.

      Note:

      When your work is left in the final tech area, it is picked up by Quality Review (QR). After they complete their review, they transfer it to the final tech area. Then the work is checked, recorded, and moved to Data Conversion.

      Please click here for the text description of the image.

Batching

  1. Line up Schedules K-1 boxes according to program (Form 1041 Schedules K-1 with Form 1041 Schedules K-1 etc.) making sure to keep multiple boxes (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) together.

  2. It is very important to keep current and future year Schedules K-1 in different batches. The year is input once for each batch and it is repeated for each return in the batch.

    • Current = Current processing year minus one

    • One-Year Prior = Current processing year minus two

    • Two-Years Prior = Current processing year minus three

    • Future = Current processing year (fiscal years)

  3. Check that each box only contains one tax year. Different years cannot be in the same gusset/box. If different years are mixed in the same box pull the different tax year(s) and put in a separate gusset/box.

  4. Input information in Batch Block Tracking System (BBTS) to create the new batch, and then record new batch number "1."

  5. On the Schedules K-1 box line through the old parent program and batch and write the new Schedules K-1 program and batch as well as the cycle number of boxes (i.e., 1 of 1, 1 of 2, and 2 of 2).

  6. Document count are 80 documents for each block. You can allow BBTS to default to the number of blocks or change the count to "1."

  7. Box is ready for Pre-Doc Prep Unit.

Loose Schedules K-1

  1. Batching keeps loose Schedules K-1 in a colored folder, and notates "Re-file" on the outside, routes to the Pre-Doc Prep Unit.

Preparing Schedules K-1 for Processing

  1. Prepare the Schedule K-1 folders or SCRIPS breaker sheets the same time the parent returns are numbered.

    1. Assign and stamp a DLN on the parent return.

    2. Stamp this same DLN in the upper left corner of all Schedules K-1 from that parent return as a cross-reference.

    3. Stamp the parent return gusset folder and the Schedules K-1 gusset/blue folder or SCRIPS breaker sheet with the (FLC), tax class and document code then write the block number on both folders.

      Note:

      If Service Center is not using gusset/blue folders for the Schedules K-1, place a SCRIPS breaker sheet after every 80 documents in the "stat" box.

    4. Place Schedules K-1 (in folders or with SCRIPS breaker sheet after every 80 documents) on batch cart or in stat boxes.

Schedules K-1 Pre-Document Preparation (Pre-Doc Prep)

  1. When preparing Schedules K-1 for the scanner, the most critical area for repair is the right side of the form.

  2. The Pre-Doc Prep function is responsible for the following:

    1. Do not mix tax years. All tax years must be sorted and boxed separately. If mixed, pull out the tax year(s) with the least amount of returns in the box. For example: If the majority in the box is 2023, pull any Schedules K-1 that are not 2023.

    2. Locate the parent DLN and write or verify the DLN is stamped on the Schedules K-1 that are pulled out of batches/boxes due to mixed tax years.

    3. Remove staples from the Schedules K-1, if present.

    4. Ensure all pages are oriented in the correct direction to be scanned.

    5. Remove all Schedules K-1, with tax periods 2020 or prior, write the parent DLN on the upper left corner (if not already present), and return to the Code and Edit function.

    6. Remove all attachments, write the parent DLN on the upper left corner (if not already present), and give to lead or manager.

    7. ALL damage on the right side of the form must be repaired prior to sending to the scanner function.

    8. Repair any rips, tears or holes prior to sending to the scanner function and make sure document is laid out flat for scanning.

    9. If Code and Edit has put a slash (/) or "X" through the entire form, pull the form, write the parent DLN on the upper left corner (if not already present), and return to the Code and Edit function.

Loose Schedules K-1

  1. Loose Schedules K-1 are received from Batching in a colored folder.

  2. Sort by document type, then sort each document type by future year, current year, one-year prior to current year and two-years prior to current year.

    • Batch

    • Follow all Pre-Doc Prep Procedures in IRM 3.0.101.13

    • Place in blue gusset folder and label the box as "RE-FILE"

  3. After preparing Schedules K-1, route to SCRIPS.

Duplex Schedules K-1

  1. Duplex (Carbon Copy) Schedules K-1, cannot be processed through SCRIPS. When you receive a duplex take the following actions:

    1. Photocopy the duplex Schedules K-1.

    2. Staple the duplex forms together by parent EIN.

    3. Place stapled duplex forms in a folder and place in front of the block.

    4. Place photocopied forms in the block to be processed through SCRIPS.

Two-Sided Schedules K-1

  1. Two-sided Schedules K-1 (two different Schedules K-1 on the front and back of a page) cannot be processed through SCRIPS. When you receive a two-sided Schedule K-1, take the following actions:

    1. Copy the back side of the Schedule K-1.

    2. Slash or put an "X" on the side that was copied.

    3. Put the copied Schedule K-1 behind the original Schedule K-1.

Schedules K-1 Processing Through SCRIPS

  1. This section provides instructions for entering data using the SCRIPS System.

Forms/Program Numbers/Tax Classes/Doc. Codes

  1. Use the program codes listed below when entering Schedules K-1 through SCRIPS.

    Return Type Program Number Tax Class/Doc Code Parent
    Tax Class/Doc Code
    1041 Schedule K-1 44386 566 236, 244 and 254
    1065 Schedule K-1 44387 565 265 and 254
    1120-S Schedule K-1 44388 567 316 and 354

    Note:

    SCRIPS allow management to override the established Unit Task Priority.

Work Prioritization
  1. The system automatically sets the Unit Task Prioritization using the following criteria:

    Program Number Return Type Description based on cycle
    44388 1120-S Schedule K-1 Prior (by cycle, then batch #), then Current Cycle (by batch #)
    44386 1041 Schedule K-1 Prior (by cycle, then batch #), then Current Cycle (by batch #)
    44387 1065 Schedule K-1 Prior (by cycle, then batch #), then Current Cycle (by batch #)
    44388 1120-S Schedule K-1 Future Cycle (by cycle then batch #)
    44386 1041 Schedule K-1 Future Cycle (by cycle then batch #)
    44387 1065 Schedule K-1 Future Cycle (by cycle then batch #)

  2. The system automatically re-prioritizes the work every time the cycle on the system changes.

  3. Form 1120-S Schedule K-1must be batched and processed on cycle. They cannot be shelved.

  4. Form 1065 Schedule K-1 and Form 1041 Schedule K-1 can be shelved. However, they must be processed by Program Completion Date (PCD).

Scanner Reject

  1. The scanner prints a one-character reject code to the left of the DLN area on any form that is routed to the Reject Bin. The rejected form then is sent back to Batching.

    Note:

    Prior to sending to Batching, write the parent DLN in the upper left corner of the Schedules K-1 (if not already present).

    Form Reject Code Description
    44386 (1041 Schedule K-1)

    • Status Line

  2. Whenever IRM 3.41.274, General Instructions for Processing via Service Center Recognition/Image Processing System, and this IRM conflict, this IRM takes precedence.

Form Identification (FI) Function

  1. The scanner doesn’t recognize all documents. These documents are called non-conforming forms. They range from photocopies of official documents, that might be official forms but for some reason don’t meet the official specification for measurement, homemade documents of varying formats, to non-Schedule K-1 forms. The Form Identification (FI) function allows the workstation operator to identify the form to avoid rework at the scanner. The FI screen has an image on the left and an entry template on the right. The entry template permits the operator to select what form type the image is, or to delete a single image or an entire submission from further processing. The menus shown on the screen vary depending on how your supervisor profiled you. For instance, if you are not profiled for the FI function, this option isn’t present on the OE Function Menu.

Form Identification (FI) QUICK START
  1. From the Workstation Main Menu, select the numeric code for Original Entry (OE).

  2. From the Original Entry (OE) Image Selection Menu, select the numeric code for Forms Identification (FI) Selection Menu. See Figure 3.0.101-3.

    For a complete list of key functions, see Exhibit 3.0.101-10, Key Function Table.

  7. The system returns you to the Schedule K-1 Forms Identification (FI) Selection Menu when you complete the last image in the UW.

Forms Identification (FI) Processing
  1. The system assigns a six-digit sequence number instead of a DLN to Schedule K-1 documents it cannot identify. This number assists in locating the UW when researching documents. Once the form type has been identified, the system assigns a DLN to the submission.

  2. If you can identify the image, chose the proper letter or number selection from the form template. Depending on the form type selected (1041, 1065, or 1120-S), one of the following menus appears:

    1041 K-1 Form Type
    1 - Current Year (TY23) 1041 K-1 (661117)
    2 - 1 Year Prior Year (TY22) 1041 K-1 (661117)

General Correction Procedures

  1. Use these procedures as a guide during the Original Entry (OE) and Data Validation (DV) functions. Not all the items are always applied to specific situations in either function. If the scanned information is correct, no action is necessary. If the scanner reads the information and it is incorrect, or if scanned information is put into the wrong field, remove from incorrect field and input the information in the correct field.

  2. If you reach the maximum field length while entering data, the cursor, in most cases, automatically moves to the next field. Therefore, incorrect characters can be inadvertently entered into the next field. Remove or correct these characters. Use standard abbreviations as shown in Exhibit 3.0.101-4, Standard Abbreviations, and Exhibit 3.0.101-5, Street Address Abbreviations, to avoid this situation.

  3. Error Messages - Error messages with information are often helpful to correct the error and may be found in the Status Line. Most error messages are two lines with the first line being the error message and the second line containing information that may help resolve the error condition.

  4. While working in OE Image or DV Image, if you can’t determine the data for any field (except the street address or city fields) from the image because it is illegible or the image is incomplete, suspend the UW and pull the paper document for verification.

  5. In certain situations, the scanner may read a name or address or even a city without spaces. If the name and/or address can be determined, leave as is.

  6. When validating an address change, ensure the system read the correct ZIP Code. If the address, city, and state on the template doesn’t match the information on the image and a correct ZIP Code isn’t present on the template, correct the information to match what is on the image.

  7. If a document is received and appears totally blank (no payer/payee entity or tax data), suspend UW and pull the paper document for verification.

  8. While working in OE Image or DV Image, don’t enter data marked out or crossed through by the filer.

  9. The <Ctrl>-<F7> combination provides the operator the ability to access the last edited field or the last flagged field of the previous document.

  10. After DV is complete the system runs a verification of parent DLNs. If the parent DLN is missing from any of the documents within the UW the error message, "Blank Parent DLN still exists after DV. Press <Enter> to review possible parent matched." Another window appears stating "Possible Parent Match 1 of (however many) is this the same payer?" If the operator selects "YES," SCRIPS populates the payer information. If the operator selects "NO," the system continues to ask until it has gone through all payers in the UW.

    Note:

    System compares the parent EIN/TIN to the previous document. If the parent EIN/TIN matches, the system duplicates all the parent information, including the parent DLN from the previous document.

    • The valid parent return File Location Codes (FLC) for Ogden are 29, 60, 78, 81, 82, 83, 85, 87, or 88.

    • The valid parent return File Location Codes (FLC) for Kansas City are 09, 36, 39, 41, or 43.

  11. For additional information on Function Keys refer to the table in Exhibit 3.0.101-13, Key Function Table or IRM 3.41.274, Optical Character Recognition Scanning Operations, General Instructions for Processing via Service Center Recognition/Image Processing System, Exhibit 3.41.274-1, Function Key Use and Description by Form Type.

Poor Quality Image
  1. Occasionally the "Image" of the return presented to the OE or DV Operator is unreadable. Some reasons for this are:

    • Writing on image is too light,

    • Image is too dark to read writing,

    • Image is illegible, or

    • Image is incomplete, etc.

  2. When working in OE or DV, if you can’t determine the data for ANY field (except the name, street address, city, state, or ZIP Code) from the Image, suspend the UW as "Poor Quality Image" (<F9>; press "S" ; select "Poor Quality Image" ).

    Note:

    Payer Name 1 must be suspended for "Poor Quality Image."

  3. The lead clerk/designated employee reviews the Work Status Report for suspended "Poor Quality Image" and pulls the document from the block and gives it to the employee who suspended the UW.

  4. The employee resumes the suspended block, corrects the data using the paper document or releases the document leaving the field blank, if unable to determine the data.

  5. The employee then gives the document back to the lead clerk/designated employee.

  6. The lead clerk/designated employee re-files the document in its original block.

Schedules K-1 Name and Address Information

  4. In certain situations, the scanner may read a name, address or city without spaces. If the name and/or address can be determined, leave as is.

Edit Marks
  1. Edit marks and their descriptions are below:

    EDIT MARK DESCRIPTION
    "X"
    • The "X" is used to delete tax data or to indicate an item is not to be transcribed.

    • For money amounts, enter the amount written to the left of the "X," when applicable.

    "/" (Slash) or "X" through the entire page.
    • A "/" (slash) or "X" through the entire page indicates the page is to be deleted.

    • If the form has a "/" (slash) or "X" through the entire page, delete the page as "Unprocessable Attachment."

Tax Year and Tax Period Entries

  1. Tax Year and Tax Period dates must meet the following criteria:

    • Current timely filed calendar year

    • One-Year Prior to current calendar year

    • Two-Years Prior to current calendar year

    • The beginning and ending tax year on all Schedules K-1 must list the same tax year. If not, they fall out to ERS if not edited correctly.

    Note:

    Tax Period must be transcribed in MMYY format and Tax Year must be transcribed in YY format.

    OE/DV Screen Prompts Description Instructions
    Tax Year Tax Year
    1. Enter the pre-printed or edited Tax Year from the top of the form in YY format.

    2. If the Tax Year is different than the Beginning Tax Period Year, then enter the Beginning Tax Period Year as the Tax Year.

    1. Enter the Beginning Tax Period date in MMYY format.

    2. If blank press <Enter>, the output program updates the Tax Period based on the Tax Year.

    Note:

    If the document is batched based on the ‘unchanged’ Tax Year, this causes the document to be deleted from SCRIPS for “Mixed Tax Year” since Tax Years cannot be mixed within a batch.
    The deleted documents must be pulled and reprocessed following all the current procedures.

    Ending Tax Period Date from the Tax Year Ending date box at the top of form.
    1. Enter the Ending Tax Period date in MMYY format or the edited Ending Tax Year from the top of the form in YY format.

    2. If blank press <Enter>, the output program updates the Tax Period based on the Tax Year.

Name and Address Block Reader (NABR)

  1. Name and Address Block Reader is referred to as NABR. NABR is used to improve the accuracy of addresses captured by the scanner from Schedule K-1 documents. The NABR accomplishes this improvement by comparing the address captured by the scanner with a database of addresses used by the United States Postal Service. SCRIPS processes the NABR through a Postal Database.

  2. When validating a NABR change, ensure the system read the correct ZIP Code. If address, city, and state changes are made and a correct ZIP Code is not present in the data field, correct the information to match what is on the image.

  3. The system prompts an operator to "Please verify" the following conditions:

    • State is determined by the system from the city present

    • State is determined from the ZIP Code present

    • City is updated by the system to a phonetic match

    • City is determined from the ZIP Code

ERS

  1. This section has instructions for resolving Schedules K-1 error conditions. All forms go to Error Resolution Systems (ERS) under program code 44380.

Types of Errors

  1. This section provides a description of the types of errors generated during Schedules K-1 processing.

  2. The Error Resolution System (ERS) identifies errors according to type and priority. This shows in the record heading.

    • Action Code Error (Priority I) - Not valid on Schedules K-1

    • Section Error (Priority II) - Includes terminus error

    • Validity Error (Priority III)

    • Math/Consistency Error (Error Codes) (Priority IV)

  3. There may be records where the tax examiner finds programming has not furnished a section or a field that is needed to resolve an error. In this event, the tax examiner can use Command Code (CC) GTSEC. This should be reported to Headquarters for correction of the display.

Priority II Errors - Section Errors

  1. The following conditions may be present if normal SCRIPS validity checks have been bypassed:

    • Terminus Errors

    • Edit Errors

    • Missing required sections

  2. Terminus Error - This error is caused by a section with variable length input fields containing an erroneous size field.

    1. When displayed, this type of error shows all input fields of the terminus section. Transcribed data is present. Computer generated fields are not present.

    2. All fields present for the section must be examined and the necessary correction(s) made to all the fields.

  3. Correction Procedures:

    1. CC CRECT is displayed. If the section needs to be deleted, use CC DLSEC to delete the section.

    2. If no corrections are needed, transmit from the bottom of the screen.

Priority III - Field Errors

  1. Definition - Any field that does not meet the requirement(s) for that field is shown as a Priority III error. Consistency and or relationships with other fields are not a factor.

  2. Some reasons for this type of error are:

ERS – When Correspondence is Required

  1. Correspondence may be required if any of the following is present:

    1. If the Schedules K-1 are received in continuous format (e.g., computer listings or typed listings), correspond requesting separate Schedules K-1.

    2. If substitute Schedules K-1 are received and do not meet the requirements listed in IRM 3.0.101.5.3, Substitute Schedules K-1, correspond requesting a valid substitute form, or the official IRS form.

Post Document Preparation

  1. Pick up work according to the number of carts or boxes included (i.e., box 1 of 2, box 2 of 2).

  2. Leaf through Schedules K-1 to determine which Schedules K-1 belong to a single parent (parent DLN is stamped in the upper left of the first Schedule K-1). The Schedules K-1 for each parent should be in separate gusset/blue folder or separated by a pink piece of paper.

    1. You may find many documents with attachments. In this case, all the following pages should match the front page in some way (EIN, Name).

    2. If there is a stray Schedule K-1 without a DLN that doesn’t match any other documents, pull the document, and send to Code and Edit as a "Loose Schedule K-1."

  3. Return block of documents to "stat" box or cart.

Output Report

  1. Instructions for working the "Actual Output Report."

  2. The "Actual Output Report" lists all DLNs that is either output or deleted.

    1. Verify every DLN on the "Actual Output Report."

  3. If the batch has a DLN not on the report:

    1. Pull entire block and make sure the parent DLN is written or stamped on the first document.

    2. Give the entire block of documents to the lead or designated employee for research.

    3. If block is deleted, the lead or designated employee routes it for processing.

    4. If block is not deleted and is still on the SCRIPS system, the lead or designated employee takes the necessary action to have the block worked and output.

  4. If a single document is deleted from a block:

    1. Pull the document from the block.

    2. Make sure the parent DLN is written in the upper left corner of each Schedule K-1 pulled.

    3. Route deleted, pulled documents to Batching for further processing.

Post Document Preparation for Files

  1. The documents are received on batch carts in gusset/blue folders or in "stat" boxes after raw input has been completed.

  2. After receipt, prepare documents for filing as follows:

    1. Check parent DLN on folder or on "stat" box against the first Schedule K-1 parent DLN in each folder or "stat" box to ensure they match.

    2. If parent DLN is for an electronically filed return (FLC of DLN (first two-digits) are 14, 16, 22, 35, 38, 41, 43, 52, 64, 65, 72, 75, 76, 92, 93, or 95), destroy as classified waste.

    3. If folder is labeled "Loose Schedules K-1," prepare an "attachment document," staple to the Schedule and route to Files to be attached to the parent return.

    4. For all others, make sure parent DLN is stamped/written on gusset/blue folders or "stat" boxes.

    5. If gusset/blue folder is not provided for a parent DLN, create one by stamping/writing the parent DLN on the top tab and placing the Schedules K-1 inside the folder.

    6. Place folders in the box or batch cart with the parent DLN sticking out, in ascending order, from right to left, facing the front of the box/batch cart.

    7. If DLN is out of order (e.g., LC244–091–49700–2, LC244–091–49800–2, LC244–091–51000–2, LC244-091–49900–2), associate in the correct DLN order.

    8. If there are different FLCs within the DLNs, ensure that they are in their own gusset/blue folder and placed at the back of the box in order.

      Example:

      29244, 60244, 85244 can all be put in the same box as the 29244, however they need to have their own gusset/blue folder and placed in the box in DLN order.

    9. "Re-file" documents should be stapled together for each parent DLN, place the documents in a "stat" box labeled "Re-file" and route to Files.

    10. Prepare additional gusset/blue folders or "stat" boxes, when necessary, to eliminate over stuffing. If over-stuffing is an ongoing problem, coordinate with the Pre-Doc Prep Function.

    Note:

    There should be a gusset/blue folder for each parent DLN, and the gusset/blue folders should be in parent DLN order within each "stat" box or batch cart.

Duplex Schedules K-1

  1. Duplex (Carbon Copy) Schedules K-1 cannot process through SCRIPS and are photocopied in Pre-Doc Prep and placed in a folder. When received take the following actions:

    1. Remove the duplex Schedules K-1 from the folder.

    2. Re-associate to the photocopied Schedules K-1 before routing to Files.

Set-Up for Document File Retention

  1. Documents are placed in "stat" boxes.

  2. Arrange documents in proper filing sequence. Maintain all documents in parent DLN order.

  3. After the weekly cycle has been accumulated (daily where space limitations or other local requirements dictate) inter-file the cycle on permanent shelving for retention.

Files

  1. When requests for the parent return (Form 1041, Form 1065 and Form 1120-S) and Schedules K-1 are received by Files:

    1. If the requests are received via Form 5546 (Exam request) pull and charge out both the parent return and the Schedules K-1 and forward to requester.

    2. If a request is received from Statistic of Income (SOI), for both the Form 1120-S and the related Schedules K-1, pull and charge out both and forward to SOI. Don’t pull the Schedules K-1 for Form 1041 and Form 1065.

    3. If a request is received from Return and Income Verification Services (RAIVS) for Form 1120-S, Form 1041, or Form 1065 and the related Schedules K-1, pull and charge out both and forward to RAIVS.

    4. If requests are received from other areas for Form 1041, Form 1065 and Form 1120-S and the related Schedules K-1 via CC ESTAB/DOALL, they must enter "Pull Schedule K-1" in the remarks field. If "Pull Schedule K-1" is not present in the remarks field, pull and charge out only the parent return and forward to the requester.

    5. If the request is received via Form 2275, Records Request, Charge and Recharge for the parent return and the related Schedules K-1, they must write "Pull Schedule K-1" in the Remarks block. If "Pull Schedule K-1" is not present in the remarks block, pull and charge out only the parent return and forward to the requester.

Servicing Requests for Returns, Copies, and Information

  1. When a request for a document arrives in Files, and the document is already charged-out or is missing, note the complete charge-out data on the requisition.

  2. If the document/block is not in Files, ensure necessary action is taken to guarantee that the document/block is not misfiled or possibly shelved incorrectly (i.e., notify supervisor for special search).

  3. If an "A" is marked on the Block Control Sheet, there is a duplicate DLN. Check the following block, marked "B" on the block control sheet, to ensure pulling of the correct document.

  4. Prepare copies where requested. Re-file the original.

  5. Sort filled requests into location of requestor and route to requestor. The Unit Address List (UAL) is available on the Submission Processing website and has addresses corresponding with the IDRS group numbers of the requestor. Perform special search on unfilled requests only if the special search criteria are met. See IRM 3.5.61.11, Requests for Association of Attachments.

  6. Form 8161, Error Resolution Charge-outs, are received in two ways:

    1. Part 1 only - Error Resolution already has the return. File part 1 in its proper place in the block.

    2. All three parts - Attach parts 2 and 3 to return and route to Error Resolution. File part 1 in its proper place in the block.

Re-Filing

  1. When previously charged-out parent and Schedules K-1 are received back in Files to be re-filed, file both parent and Schedules K-1 associated by parent DLN. Never attach, associate, or re-file into Schedules K-1 folders.

  2. When processed "Loose Schedules K-1" are received in Files, if necessary, research IDRS for matching parent DLN, then re-file behind parent return.

  3. When attachments other than Schedules K-1 are received, file with the parent return using Form 10023-B, Attachment (To Be Associated With Return). The parent DLN is written on the upper left of the Schedules K-1. These attachments are pulled in the Pre-Doc Prep area but cannot be processed through the SCRIPS scanners and need to be re-associated with the parent return.

Retiring Documents to Federal Records Center

  1. Files function retires Schedules K-1 at the same time as the matching parent blocks, in accordance with Document 12990, Records and Information Management Records Control Schedules. To find this information, open the attached link and refer to the information in the table below.
