Program Scope and Objectives

  1. This IRM section provides the instructions for the use of IDRS command codes RFUND and REFAP.

  2. Purpose This section provides instructions for processing and approving refunds.

  3. Audience IRS tax analysts and service center employees.

  4. Policy Owner The Director, IT owns the policies contained herein.

  5. Program Owner The AD CIO is responsible for the administration, procedures, and updates related to the programs.

  6. Primary Stakeholders Large and Mid-Size Business (LMSB), Small Business Self-employed (SB/SE), Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE), Wage & Investment (W&I)

  7. Program GoalsCommand Code (CC) RFUND has been designed for service center employees to process certain requests for refunds previously handled as manual refunds. CC RFUND is valid for the IMF, BMF, NMF and IRAF accounts. IDRS Generated Refunds are limited to refunds from tax accounts and not from special accounting functions such as Excess Collections. For detailed refund transaction instructions, including a listing of refunds, which cannot be input to IDRS, refer to IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds.

  8. CC REFAP has been designed to approve IDRS Generated Refunds. Only Submission Processing Accounting employees are allowed to authorize a REFAP.

Background

  1. This IRM and the contained sections provide the user the necessary information on how to use the command codes RFUND and REFAP.

Authority

  1. RFUND was developed to give users the ability to input manual refunds. REFAP was developed to give users the ability to approve these manual refunds either on the same day or the next day inside of a 24-hour window. Note that the users that approve the refunds cannot be the same one that inputs the manual refund.

Roles and Responsibilities

  1. EOD Project Lead is responsible for

    • Review and implementation of WRs that affect RFUND and REFAP

    • Updating the contents of this IRM

Program Management and Review

  1. Program Reports

    • RFUND reports are provided for review via EOD08 in CONTROL-D

    • QR Accepted transactions and rejected RFUND inputs are available for review via the EOD07 reports in CONTROL-D. This report will show any rejected RFUND inputs where there was no matching REFAP

  2. Program Effectiveness

    • Measured by reviewing the EOD08 and EOD07 reports to determine number of accepted vs rejected inputs.

Program Controls

  1. Access to this program is governed by SACS.

Terms and Acronyms

  1. CMODE Acronyms

    Note:

    For those users that are reviewers for sites other than their own, the use of CMODE is required to review transactions that are in Quality Review at a site different than the Reviewer’s home site. Refer to http://serp.enterprise.irs.gov/databases/learning.dr/cmode.dr/cmode.htm for an explanation of CC CMODE. Users must remember to return to their home campus when finished using the Quality Review command codes at the alternate site.

System Overview of IDRS Generated Refunds

  1. The employee requesting the refund isn't always the person inputting the refund. Some areas have clerks input the refund and some field offices will send their manual refunds to service center employees to input. A control base will be established to the operator in:

    • open, background or closed status (as indicated by the input data) if no control base exists

    • if a control base is already established to the operator, it will be updated by CC RFUND input

    • if an open control base exists in a status other than "B" and an assignee number other than that of the terminal operator, an error message will result

  2. IDRS Generated Refunds are not subject to quality review procedures. Instead, each IDRS Generated Refund requires supervisory approval on the day of input through the use of CC REFAP (refund approval).

  3. As a part of the end-of-day processing, each RFUND and REFAP transaction is compared.

    • Matched RFUND and REFAP transactions will be processed.

    • Unmatched RFUND or REFAP transactions will be printed on a no match report, similar to the quality review reject. The pending transaction status will be changed to "DQ" .

  4. Command Code TERUP is valid for RFUND transactions but not for REFAP transactions.

  5. When a CC RFUND display is requested through CC RFUNDR, pending address changes or available posted name and address data is displayed.

  6. Pending address change for a Foreign address displays only the POSTED-NAME-LINE1 information and the message 'PENDING FOREIGN ADDR' will be displayed. To change address data, use CC ENMOD to research the pending address change data, and input the correct address data. This data can be overlaid with:

    • correct information

    • third party mailing information

    • taxpayer request for refund to be mailed to different address. This name and address information is strictly for the refund and does not affect the posting of the Transaction 840 and 770.

  7. As part of the approval process the supervisor/personnel designated to approve IDRS refunds, must input certain information from the source document. The source document must reflect the precise information input through CC RFUND, otherwise, a mismatch will occur and the refund will not be issued.

  8. All valid refund requests input will be included on a refund transaction tape the following day. All source documents for IDRS Generated Refunds must be in the Accounting Branch by the start of business on the workday following the day of input. After certification by the authorized Certifying Officer, the tape will be mailed to the disbursing office for issuance of a refund check.

  9. In addition to the refund tape, CC RFUND input results in the generation of Transaction 840 and 770 for posting to the appropriate master file.

CC RFUNDR

  1. This command code is to request the screen format for command code RFUND.

  2. Users must only execute CC RFUNDR via the IAT Refund Suite. If a user executes CC RFUNDR independently of the IAT tool, upon attempting to transmit their changes, they will get error message "CANNOT PROCESS RFUND. MUST USE IAT TOOL" and their transaction will not be allowed to complete. Likewise, should a user attempt to execute CC RFUND directly, without the prerequisite CC RFUNDR, they will also get error message "CANNOT PROCESS RFUND. MUST USE IAT TOOL" and processing will terminate.

  3. RFUNDR must be preceded by CC TXMOD, for which data was available.

  4. Special Instructions — no account data found via CC TXMOD at local service center:

    1. Use Command Code MFREQ to download account data from the CFOL file to the IDRS database, or

    2. Create a dummy module using Command Code ACTON

  5. Valid Terminal Responses: The screen format for CC RFUND is returned. The TIN, MFT, Tax Period and Name Control will be displayed on the screen format. The screen format is the same for IMF, BMF, NMF and IRAF.

  6. Error Terminal Responses (on line 24 in inverse video).

    ERROR MESSAGE DEFINITION
    CANNOT PROCESS RFUND. MUST USE IAT TOOL User attempted to execute CC RFUNDR directly. The IAT Refund Suite must be used to execute CC RFUNDR. Or, user attempted to execute CC RFUND directly without the prerequisite CC RFUNDR.
    COMMAND CODE DEFINER INVALID Command code definer is not "R" (located in sixth position of the command code).
    EMP. NO. INVALID-CASE CONTROLLED The tax module being addressed contains a control base in status "S" , "A" or "M" for an employee other than the terminal operator.
    REQUEST DENIED/IMPROPER INITIALIZATION CC RFUNDR was not preceded by a CC TXMOD, for which a tax module was found and displayed.
    REQUEST DENIED MEMO ACCT./MOD PRESENT The tax module being addressed is a memo module and input is prohibited. CC ACTON can be used to establish a dummy module and remove the memo data.
    MFT INVALID FOR RFUND MFT 59 or 76 invalid for CC RFUND.
    TAX PERIOD INVALID FOR RFUND Input has been attempted for an MFT 01 with tax period 000000
    Tax periods 200001 through 200006 used with a non-NMF account

    TAX PRD MUST BE 197912 OR LATER W/MFT 06 The tax period must be "197912" or later with an MFT of "06 " .

CC RFUND

  1. This command code is used to cause the issuance of an immediate IDRS Generated Refund to the taxpayer. Refund data is produced by IDRS the day of CC RFUND input and sent to the Regional Disbursing Center the next day. Also, a TC 840 and TC 770 will be generated to the Master File and a control base will be either established or updated.

    • CC TXMOD and RFUNDR are prerequisites for CC RFUND.

    • An end-of-day batch run will generate a possible duplicate refund report. Designated personnel are to review the report to determine the cause of the duplication.

    • A bypass indicator will be generated or input, which will be used by Financial Management Service (FMS) to determine if an IDRS Generated Refund should be offset.
