    1. Full disclosure of the financial results of the agency's activities.

    2. Adequate financial information needed for the agency's management purposes.

    3. Effective control over and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets for which the agency is responsible, including appropriate internal audit.

This program contemplates the full development of sound accounting within each executive agency as a working arm of management and in terms of financial information and control. It envisions an integrated pattern of accounting and financial reporting for the government that is responsive to executive and legislative needs.

  4. The established accounting and reporting principles, standards and basic procedures take into consideration the various areas of responsibility involved, the elimination of overlapping operations and paperwork and the broader application of efficient methods and techniques in accounting operations throughout the government.

Treasury Account Symbols (TAS)

  1. The Treasury Account Symbols (TAS) represent agencies’ and bureaus’ individual appropriations, receipts, and other fund accounts. Agencies post appropriations or spending authorizations granted by Congress to these accounts. When money is collected under the accountability of the campus director, it must be entered into one of the RRACS receipt accounts. The receipt account records the money sent to Treasury for the current fiscal year. These accounts accumulate data by the TAS and represent the receipts of individual appropriations and fund accounts.

  2. As of October 2014, all IRS ALCs became direct reporters in the Central Accounting Reporting System (CARS). As a result, all disbursement, collection and Intragovernmental Payment and Collection (IPAC) transactions are reported directly to CARS from the financial institutions by TAS. IRS only has the capability to send reclassifications to CARS using the CTA (Classification Transaction and Accountability) adjustments.

Deposit Discrepancies

  1. This section provides the procedures for tracking, processing, depositing, packaging, reporting, reconciling, and handling of all deposit discrepancies for individual payments reported on the deposit ticket (DT).

  2. Examples of individual payment types are:

    1. Revenue - Collection of taxes, penalties, interest, and payments on accepted Offers In Compromise (OIC). Other revenue receipts include payment of court fines; court costs; forfeitures; penalties incident to or imposed for, violation of applicable laws from the redemption of property acquired by the government and consummated sales of acquired property.

    2. Deposit Fund - Collections from OICs, payments for the sale of seized property and offers to bid or initial payments under a deferred payment sale of acquired property. Other payments may also be deposited in this account in accordance with specific instructions.

    3. General Fund - Collections of fees for duplication of documents, conscience fund, user fees and for reducing the public debt.

    4. Repayments to Refund Appropriations - Collections recovered from erroneous, duplicate, or overpaid refund disbursements; or recoveries of fraudulently endorsed refund checks.

Trace Identification Number

  1. The Trace Identification Number (TID) number is a tracking mechanism that identifies each DT and Debit Voucher (DV) with its corresponding payment and debit. The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP), lockbox and Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) input payment systems automatically assign a TID to each DT/DV.

  2. Manual deposits must have a Form 813 (Document Register) and a TID assigned from the Batch Block Tracking System (BBTS).

  3. The TID Reconciliation Report reconciles the Custodial Detail Database (CDDB) against the RRACS general ledger accounts.

Trace Identification Number Format
  1. It is mandatory that each DT/DV has a unique TID. The 14-character TID number represents one DT/DV. The 20-character TID number includes an additional six transaction sequence numbers that identifies each DT/DV transaction uniquely.

  2. RRACS assigns System ID 20 and 25. Input payment systems assign the remaining System IDs. The valid system IDs for the functions are:

    System ID/Function
    System ID Function
    01 EFTPS
    02 ISRP Payment Transactions
    05 Lockbox Bank Transactions
    10 SITLP Levy Payments
    12 Receipt and Control Manual Deposits for External Leads
    15 Receipt & Control Manual Deposits
    20 RRACS Dishonored Check File (DCF) DV
    25 Accounting DT/DV
    35 Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) Installment Agreement User Fee Sweep
    40 Automated Insolvency System (AIS)
    45 Automated Offer-in-Compromise (AOIC)
    50 Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
    55 Field Assistance - Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TAC)

  3. The Trace ID number format is:

    Trace ID Number Format
    Field Format Definition
    Site ID nn Campus Filing Location Code, Bank ID, or other Site ID
    System ID nn See System ID/Function chart
    Deposit Date YYYYDDD Julian Date
    Sequence Number nnn For each deposit date, begin with 001 and increment each additional deposit by one.
    Transaction Sequence Number nnnnnn This field is relevant only for the Payment Transaction Record. For each payment summarized in a DT, beginning with 000001, sequentially increment the Transaction Sequence Number for each transaction.

  4. Valid Site IDs for the Campus locations are:

    Site ID/Campus Locations

Annual Trace Identification Reconciliation Procedures. Note: Effective March 2022, the Annual Trace ID is no longer required.
  1. Background: As of January 2008, all input payment systems automatically assign a TID to each DT/DV. Manual deposits, such as insolvency payments, that require Form 813 (Document Register), are assigned a TID using the BBTS. The CDDB tracks all payments that include a DT/DV and balance the transactions against the DT/DV totals that have been entered in the RACS general ledger. The TID reconciliation is part of the Treasury scorecard.

  2. Responsibilities: The RACS unit reconciles the campus DT/DV reconciliation report (J55C01) annually for the month of March to report the balancing of transactions between CDDB and RRACS. The report format must not be altered. All TIDs must remain on this report. This report alerts the service center and NHQ of any imbalances between TIDs and any processing problems within the service center. The RACS unit only reconciles imbalances that are $100,000 or greater.

  3. Campus DT/DV Reconciliation Report (J55C01): This report lists all TIDs received on the RRACS DT/DV file for an accounting period and lists CDDB pre-posted information and RRACS information like the RACS report. This report sorts by the month of the preparation date and the absolute value of the RRACS amount. The following list identifies each column on the campus DT/DV reconciliation report (J55C01):

    1. Column A (Month) indicates the month of the original transaction.

    2. Column B (Treasury Number) indicates the Treasury number.

    3. Column C (RRACS TID) indicates the 14-digit TID entered into RRACS.

    4. Column D (RRACS Date Presented) indicates the date the journal entry was entered into RRACS.

    5. Column E (IR COUNT) indicates the number of times the TID was entered into RRACS for a journal entry.

      Note:

      An asterisk or a numerical value greater than one indicates a duplicate TID was entered. The duplicate TID may be found in any month.

    6. Column F (DT/DV Amount) indicates the amount of the DT/DV in RRACS.

    7. Column G (CDDB Pre-posted) indicates the amount of the DT/DV that was captured in CDDB.

    8. Column H (Pre-posted Difference) indicates the difference in dollar amount between Column F and Column G.

    9. Column I (Error Type) indicates the TID Error Type, as identified in the legend.

    10. Column J is the field in which the manager and or lead indicates [yes or no] if the unit that caused the TID error was contacted (all units must be contacted by the 17th workday).

    11. Column K (Comments) is where the analyst or technician provides detailed comments regarding research efforts and resolution in identifying cause of TID error. Comments must be provided for each TID error.

  4. Campus Procedures:

    1. The campus DT/DV reconciliation report (J55C01) is emailed to the DBA for each individual campus by the 13th workday. The following parties are copied on the email: accounting department manager, department manager, RACS manager, team lead and planning and analysis analyst.

    2. The campus receives a reconciliation report that identifies only the transactions that need to be researched. Only out of balance transactions with an amount of $100,000 or greater have to be reconciled.

    3. The manager or lead pulls the accounting package and any additional reports to identify the cause of the TID error.

    4. The preparer is the accounting technician or analyst at the service center campus that reviews and signs off on the J55C01 reconciliation report.

    5. The manager or lead enters the TID error code into Column I using the key below:

      Trace ID Error Codes
      ERROR TYPE DESCRIPTION ACCEPTABLE COMMENTS
      A Typo error in TID input. Input as or Should be xx-xx-xxxx-xxx-xxx, Area

      Note:

      Should include the date the typo error in TID was corrected.

      B Two days of deposit activity was entered into RRACS under one journal. Explain why
      C Trace ID is in RRACS twice, typo error on one of the DTs/DVs. No comment necessary
      D Transaction was added/deleted after deposit was submitted at end of day. Added/Deleted, explain why
      H Foreign check issues with banks (cash conversion issues) Explain why
      I Suspense transactions (for example, DCF, URF) No comment necessary

      Note:

      Must be monitored and updated until closed.

      J Transactions that did not post to CDDB (for example, NMF, DOJ Restitution, EP/EO, OIC, Photocopy Fees) Explain why
      L Other error not classified above, including external leads for Cincinnati and Fresno Accounting Only Explain why

      Note:

      Cincinnati and Fresno Only - external leads explanation should read: external lead process - Questionable returned refund from bank being sent back to IRS by the financial institution currently being researched by the Integrity and Verification Operation (IVO) - external leads former Accounts Management Taxpayer Assurance Program (AMTAP) group.

      M Void, Cancelled or D-Applied checks Date xx-xx-xxxx / For Washed, what DT/DV number
      N Closed Cases (for example, DCF, URF) URF/DCF, Date xx-xx-xxxx
      P Duplicate payment created by the TAC office Explain why
      Z Unresolved mismatch still researching (this error code results in a non-green score) Explain why

      Note:

      The Trace ID Error Code table shown above is an across-the-board explanation of errors the service centers use to relay errors received when preparing the Trace ID spreadsheet.

  5. After the cause of the TID error is identified, the analyst or technician enters the detailed explanation in Column K on the spreadsheet.

  6. The manager or lead contacts the unit that caused the TID error and verifies that actions are taken to prevent mismatch from reoccurring. Indicate in Column J only yes or no.

    Note:

    If the TID error is on cash processed in the CARE Field Assistance (FA) TACs, refer the issue to the area office analyst designated for remittances for the particular areas: FA Area 1, FA Area 2, FA Area 3, FA Area 4 and FA Area 5

    .

  7. After completion of the comments, the preparer (the accounting technician or analyst at the service center) signs the spreadsheet and thereafter, an initial review is performed prior to sending through the appropriate chain of command. The accounting department manager performs a final review and signs off on the documents as the certifying officer.

    1. The preparer reviews all details listed on the reconciliation report, ensuring that the supporting backup documentation agrees to the explanation, error codes are accurate, detail explanation support findings, signatures are included and that the report has been checked for completeness.

    2. The reviewer ensures that all out of balance conditions have the correct error codes which may require a review of the backup documentation; detail explanations exist; and the report has been signed by the preparer.

    3. The certifying officer is typically the accounting department manager. She/he ensures that the reconciliation report has been submitted timely to the CFO office, the report has been reviewed and formal documentation by the preparer and reviewer via signatures exist.

  8. Original campus DT/DV reconciliation report (J55CO1), with all backup documentation remain in the campus for the required retention time stated in Document 12990, Records Control Schedules.

  9. Campus must email the completed spreadsheet, keep a copy of the email for confirmation and either fax or email the supporting documents for EFTPS, Lockbox and ISRP to CFO HQ by the 17th workday of the month of April and email the CFO HQ Analyst mailbox at &W&I SP:RRACS. The email confirmation document confirms the time and date that your reconciliation report was sent and received by the CFO HQ analyst.

  10. If CFO has not received the completed spreadsheet with supporting documentation, the accounting department manager must be contacted immediately for follow-up. Campuses should retain the TID report/spreadsheet and supporting documentation with the original signatures and dates for 18 months and retire the files at 24 months to the Record Finance Center (RFC).

  11. The CFO HQ analyst selects three random sample items and requests the backup documentation for the selected items. The campuses have three workdays to send the backup documentation to the appropriate CFO HQ analyst.

Monthly Manual Balancing
  1. The Trace ID Monthly Manual Balancing is the monthly reconciliation between RRACS and CDDB of the “Big 3” EFTPS (system id 01), ISRP (system id 02), and Lockbox (system id 05).

  2. Procedures:

    1. Every month CFO receives the RRACS/CDDB Trace ID Summary report from CDDB

    2. CFO HQ analyst reviews and updates the RRACS/CDDB Trace ID Summary report to include only the following worksheets: TID Man Bal, EFPPS Bal, LB Bal, ISRP Bal, or worksheet(s) with adjustments related to any of the Big 3. CFO HQ analyst also remove any column(s) within the report that are not related to pre-posted transactions.

    3. CFO HQ analyst sends an email to each campus with an OOB to request supporting documentation for the OOB within three (3) working days.

    4. The RACS unit will email the supporting documentations used to address the OOB between RRACS and CDDB for the Big Three, EFTPS, ISRP and Lockbox.

Batch Block Tracking System (BBTS) - Online 5081

  1. Manual deposits requiring Form 813 (Document Register) are assigned TID numbers using the BBTS. BBTS produces 14-character and 20-character TID numbers for manual deposits. The 14-character TID number is either stamped or handwritten on the DT and the 20-character TID must be stamped on the individual payment.

  2. The BBTS assigns the DLN and TID number to payments and generates Form 813. An online 5081 must be submitted to request access to BBTS. Managers and employees input their own 5081. Management designates access to the functions and screens for BBTS users.

  3. Each campus BBTS coordinator is responsible for approving the online 5081s. BBTS may designate online 5081 approvals to managers and/or functional coordinators.

  4. For the online 5081, the BBTS coordinator must specify the following:

    1. System ID - Function

    2. 12 - External Bank Leads

    3. 15 - Receipts and Control Manual Deposits

    4. 20 - RRACS DCF DV

    5. 25 - Accounting DT and DV

    6. 40 - Automated Insolvency Manual DT

    7. 45 - Automated Offer-in-Compromise

    8. 50 - Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs)

  5. RRACS must use BBTS to assign the TID number to a DT (System ID 25).

Custodial Detail Database

  1. The Financial Management Information System includes CDDB which tracks all individual payments reported on the DT. The individual payments are balanced against the DT totals. The accounting technician posts the DT in the RRACS general ledger account.

  2. Campuses receiving DV directly in the RRACS unit must assign a TID number through BBTS. The RRACS unit forwards the DV to the Dishonored Check File (DCF). The DCF unit enters the DV in the DCF database.

  3. The State Income Tax Levy Program (SITLP) program, Taxpayer Delinquent Account (TDA) 55, generates the TID number. The SITLP report reflects the TID number. The accounting section must stamp or write the TID on the DT.

  4. Manual deposits requiring Form 813 (Document Register) are assigned TID numbers using BBTS. The BBTS produces a 14-character and 20-character TID number for manual deposits. The 14-character TID number is either stamped or handwritten on the DT and the 20-character TID must be stamped on the individual payment.

Processing National Security Checks (Kansas City Only)

  1. Checks received from National Security are sealed in an envelope and hand delivered from National Security to the compliance services director with a memorandum and list of checks enclosed in the sealed envelope.

  2. The compliance services director contacts a Submission Processing (SP) program and analysis (P&A) analyst to pick up the sealed envelope and the corresponding memorandum.

The technician must confirm the DT on the same business day during the last week of the month. The Treasury identification number and the amount must match the DT number and the DT file. If the Treasury identification number was posted incorrectly to RRACS, the DBA must correct it.

  3. The technician is responsible for contacting the financial institution to initiate a deposit trace, if the OTCnet deposit ticket confirmed copy is not received within two weeks of the DT date. The technician makes a second contact no later than five workdays after the initial contact if confirmation is not received.

    Note:

    Foreign remittance deposits normally take five workdays for confirmation.

Automated Deposit Records Confirmation

  1. IRS accesses deposit information through the Collections Information Repository (CIR) to:

    4. Error Code D - invalid form code

  9. Report 1137 listing DTs must be confirmed manually. They do not appear on Report 1135, CIR recirculating records. Daily, the accounting technician must research and resolve errors on Report 1137.

    Note:

    Errors appearing on Report 1137 do not appear on the next day's error report.

  10. Weekly, the technician researches discrepancies or unconfirmed deposits not resolved within five business days of the report date. The reports are as follows:

    1. Report 1135, CIR Recirculating Records

    2. Report 1136, Unmatched RACS CIR Records

    3. Report 1137, CIR Error Report

    Note:

    Adjustment DT/DV has the original deposit prepared date and appears on the reports as an aged date. The accounting technician uses the RRACS received date for adjusting any DT/DV to determine the first contact date for research and follow-up. The date of first contact must occur within nine calendar days, including foreign currency deposits. If there is a Treasury number with an asterisk next to it, it is an indication the document posted to RACS on the report date. Further research is necessary.

  11. For any unresolved DT/DV, after the initial contact, the technician makes a second contact and notifies the RACS manager. A comprehensive history sheet must be completed for this contact with the following information:

Tax Class Classification

  1. Revenue collected during a current fiscal year is controlled and reported on a DT/DV by the TAS tax class.

  2. For IRS reporting, the fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30.

  3. The DT or related support listings show the classification when the deposit is submitted initially to a financial institution. DVs returned from the financial institution for invalid or dishonored remittances are classified initially as tax class 1 (withholding tax) and subsequently reclassified after determining the proper tax classification.

Tax Class Reclassification
  1. When misclassification errors are identified, the tax class must be reclassified in RRACS as soon as possible. Examples of misclassification are documents input with the wrong tax class or typographical errors on DTs. For reclassification, the accounting technician is responsible for:

    1. Transferring a credit between IMF, BMF and/or NMF accounts by offsetting debits between modules.

    2. Posting a reclassification journal for adjustments to RRACS. All funds reclassified in RRACS must be in the current fiscal year.

    3. Reclassifying child support payments for improper classification. At month end, the technician uses the amounts on Form 5461, Report of Action under PL 93-647.

    4. Photocopying fees deposited and credited to account 2340 (Photocopy Fee). The financial institution sends the RACS unit the SF 5515 (Debit Voucher) and a copy of the taxpayer's dishonored check. The technician reverses the credit in account 2340 and debits the 1710 account. The 1710 account is a receivable account used to record and control dishonored checks or money orders, previously recorded as collections for the IRS.

Tax Class Reclassification of Non-Revenue Receipts
  1. Erroneous refund and deposit repayments are reclassified to a tax class related to TAS. Prior year revenue receipts are not reclassified.

Fund Adjustments Reclassifications
  1. Transferring receipts between funds or within the same fund, requires reclassification. The following transactions must be reclassified:

    1. Revenue receipts transferred from one tax class to another (source documents are Form 2424 (Account Adjustment Voucher), Form 813 (Document Register) and IDRS recap, Page 4).

    2. DTs with incorrect credit classifications (source documents are OTCnet deposit ticket, Form 813 and IDRS recap, Page 3).

    3. Dishonored check file (DCF) applications (source documents are DCF03, DCF05 and EOD16, Page 6).

    4. Renumbered rejects and nullified unpostables transferred from one tax class to another.

    5. Refund repayments deposited as revenue receipts.

    6. Child support payments.

    7. Service Center Control File (SCCF) adjustments involving a tax class change (source documents are Form 4028; SCCF-11-41, Adjustment Control Record List Items with Control Record Source Code J; and SCCF-11-47, Control Record Renumber Reclassification Summary).

    8. Reclassifications of corrected unpostables generated by ECC-MT (source document is the Control Data Run 02 Project 160).

    9. Budget clearing accounts, refund repayments or revenue receipts adjustments.

    10. Anti-drug special funds.

  2. The technician journalizes entries using source documents from a prior window or using Form 8166 (Input Reconciliation Sheet). When entries are journal inputs from another window, the prior window journal number is used as the doc ID number for the current window. If the journal number not used as the doc ID number, the technician inputs the journal number in the message and in so doing, establishes an audit trail. The message column summarizes the adjustments made to fund receipt accounts.

  3. The technician inserts the original journal number as the doc ID number when the reclassification journal corrects a prior journal entry. Before posting journal entries, the technician inputs detail information (reason) for the reclassification in the message column. The DT classification report summarizes all adjustments to a tax class related to TAS.

  4. The accounting technician transcribes or stamps the reclassification journal number on the supporting documentation.

Civil Judgment Collections (Kansas City Only)

  1. Report 1136 (Unmatched RACS CIR Records) lists DTs and DVs journalized by the campus but not reported by the depository.

  2. The Department of Justice (DOJ) receives civil judgement payments and uses the Intragovernmental Payment and Collection (IPAC) system to transfer these payments to Kansas City (ALC 20090900) and create documentation of the transfer. For additional information, see IRM 3.17.243, Miscellaneous Accounting.

    4. Inputting the IPAC into RRACS using TAS 20F3844 and requesting an IPAC to transfer the incorrect information back to DOJ.

Wire Transfers/FEDWIRE

  1. Wire transfer systems use computer networks to link to financial institutions. Only approved applications using wire transfers may be accepted. When the daily support listing for FEDWIRE contains unexpected payments, the technician contacts the analyst responsible for handling wire transfers for payment reversal.

    Note:

    Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) payments are wire transfers. EFT may be in the title of a computer-generated report.

  2. Source documents and payment records supporting the wire transfer/FEDWIRE include:

    1. The support listing containing messages providing transaction details.

    2. SF 215-C (DT) containing total wire transfer transaction(s) for the day. The DT must equal the daily total on the bottom of the support listing and the DT number must be printed on the support listing. After receiving the DT, the technician confirms receipt by providing the date in box 2 for reporting purposes.

    3. The SF 5515 (Debit Voucher) for reversing or correcting wire transfer/FEDWIRE transactions. DVs may be issued for dishonored checks for insufficient funds to support previously agreed-to automatic EFT transactions or to correct erroneous deposits.

Direct Debit Installment Agreement

  1. A Direct Debit Installment Agreement (DDIA) is a method of collecting payments. A taxpayer arranges with collection personnel to repay tax liabilities in installments. The taxpayer signs an agreement authorizing IRS to withdraw monthly installment payments from his/her bank account electronically.

  2. The financial institution prepares a manual OTCnet deposit ticket and records it in the Collection Information Repository (CIR) on the payment due date.

  3. The financial institution creates and transmits to IRS a tape of all transactions which fail to process properly. These items are supported by debit vouchers which are passed through the Pittsburgh branch of the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank.

  4. The campus is responsible for:

    1. Monitoring the progress of all transactions including EFT 12 (debit) and EFT 18 (credit) identify transactions associated with DDIA. DTs must correspond with each EFT 12 summary. Likewise, a DV for each EFT 18 summary is required. All EFT 12 and EFT 18 transactions must be included in EFT 16 and EOD 16 reports on the appropriate dates. The journal contains the EFT 12, the EFT 18 and the DT/DV.

    2. Maintaining a log sheet to ensure all EFT 12 and EFT 18 processing is completed. Log formats may be established by individual campuses. Missing entries and mis-matched dollar amounts help identify problems quickly.

    7. Reconciling daily and balancing EFT 12 and EFT 18 with EFT 16 and EOD 16 and contacting the financial institution or the NHQ transfer analyst to initiate a voucher trace when a DV is not received within 10 business days of receiving the deposit. Debit vouchers are processed through the Pittsburgh FRB if a DV is not received within 10 workdays of the making of the deposit.

    8. Initiating research with IT to locate missing runs and/or reports (failure to ensure processing of all runs or receipt of all DT/DVs results in an improper posting to the MF, or in erroneous entries in RRACS). The financial institution statements should be retained for three years from the date of the statement.

    9. Coordinating with Collection and IT to ensure payments and tapes are generated and sent to the financial institution.

State Income Tax Levy Program (SITLP)

  1. The SITLP coordinator in each W&I campus has overall responsibility for the coordination between the state and the campus. Procedures are sent to each SITLP coordinator and NHQ Collection. A list of the SITLP coordinators is available on the Servicewide Electronic Research Program (SERP) website at: http://serp.enterprise.irs.gov/databases/who-where.dr/sitlp-coordinators.html.

  2. States join SITLP and become operational after a memorandum of understanding (MOU) is signed and successful test files are processed. The participating states are:

    STATE STATE
    Alabama Michigan
    *Alaska Minnesota
    Arizona Missouri
    Arkansas Nebraska
    California New Jersey

    **Massachusetts Wisconsin

    Note:

    *Alaska participates in the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend Levy Program (AKPFD). This is a similar matching program, but the levy attaches to the state's permanent fund and dividend rather than a state income tax refund. AKPFD levy files are converted into a State Income Tax Levy Program (SITLP) format for processing through TDA 55/56 in Fresno.

    Note:

    **These states are participating in SITLP; however, they do not use EFTPS to send in their SITLP levy payments.

    Note:

    As of June 2014, all current non-EFTPS state agencies converted to EFTPS for their SITLP payments.

Federal Agency Tax Payment System (Ogden Only)

  1. The FEDTAX system provided an electronic payment method for federal agencies of the United States to transmit Federal Tax Deposits (FTD) and to file required employment tax forms. At the end of calendar year 2009, federal agency users were transitioned to using EFTPS for Federal Agencies at https://www.eftps.gov/eftps which is operated by Bank of America.

  2. Federal agency tax payments will be processed through the Collections Information Repository (CIR).

  3. EFTPS for Federal Agencies records payments and DV/DTs at the Ogden campus and require no separate accounting.

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) (Ogden Only)

  1. The EFTPS provides a daily automated journal file for posting transactions to RRACS. The accounting technician contacts the Submission Processing RACS Headquarters unit and the CFO RACS (OS:CFO:FM:A:S) office to receive further instructions for journals that did not post to RRACS.

  2. If the EFTPS batch journal does not post to RRACS, the accounting technician must prepare a manual journal.

  3. EFTPS creates four activities requiring RRACS input to the general ledger:

    1. DT journal

    2. DV journal

    3. Deposit reclassification journal

    4. Tape Edit Processor (TEP) journal

  4. The following programs transmit through EFTPS:

    1. Wire transfer/FEDWIRE

    2. State Income Tax Levy Program (SITLP)

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) Deposit Ticket Journal (Ogden Only)
  1. The financial agent provides the classification for each DT sent by EFTPS to RRACS.

  2. DTs are sorted by settlement date in EFTPS.

  3. The analyst uses the summary report to verify all DTs have been received and journalized.

  4. The automated batch journal number begins with the number 110.

  5. If a manual journal is required, the technician prepares a 210 journal entry from a printed copy of the EFTPS DT to support each journal entry. The DT lists all of the batch numbers sent by EFTPS.

  6. Through automated or manual posting, the technician enters the following actions in the journal:

    1. Debits the appropriate account 2100 tax class accounts or tax class 9, revenue suspense.

    2. Credits one or more of the EFTPS suspense accounts.

  7. The EFTPS suspense accounts are:

    4225 EFTPS Suspense for Master File - IMF
    4425 EFTPS Suspense for NMF
    4765 EFTPS Miscellaneous Suspense

  8. The DT does not identify user fees and non-revenue items. Non-revenue deposit items are initially classified into account 4765 (EFTPS Miscellaneous Suspense, Ogden Only), but later reclassified.

  9. Federal Payment Levy Program (FPLP) DTs received through IPAC, rather than CIR, are journalized to different accounts:

    1. After the money is received through IPAC, prepare a manual journal to debit account 2910 (IPAC Receipts) and credit account 4765 (EFTPS Miscellaneous Suspense, Ogden Only).

    2. The EFTPS journal 114 debits account 4765 (EFTPS Miscellaneous Suspense, Ogden Only) and credits account 2910 (IPAC Receipts) and debits the account 21XX tax classes and credits the appropriate EFTPS suspense accounts.

    3. RRACS is programmed to recognize the FPLP DT journal record by the record code 5. Normal EFTPS DTs contain record code 1.

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) Debit Voucher Journal (Ogden Only)
  1. The financial institution provides tax classification information for each EFTPS DV.

  3. Offsets occur after the IRS certifies a refund for payment by Fiscal Service before the refund is issued to the taxpayer.

  4. For additional information on the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), see IRM 21.4.6, Refund Offset.

Debtor Master File (DMF) Activity Reports
  1. The DMF generates activity reports as follows:

    1. By agency, DMF01 (weekly) and DMF11 (monthly)

    2. By campus, DMF02 (weekly) and DMF12 (monthly)

    3. By sub-agency, DMF04 (weekly) and DMF14 (monthly)

Debtor Master File Transfer of Funds
  1. When transferring funds, the accounting section debits the ALC for the reversal (TC 897) amount and credits the campus' ALC. When this occurs, the campus should ensure that the proper journal is completed.

  2. Accounts Management debits federal agencies’ accounts for reversals (TC 897) of offsets (TC 896) made prior to 01/11/99. The technician transmits the offsets and the related reversals to the federal agencies using IPAC.

  3. The cut-off date for transferring funds using IPAC is the last day of the calendar month. However, RRACS processing continues to 11:00 a.m. of the second workday of the following month.

Debtor Master File Balancing Process
  1. For each cycle of activity, compare the following to ensure correctness:

    1. CADE 2 and BMF recaps of assessments, abatements, and other post-journalized documents

    2. DMF recap tape

    3. IPAC transmission through the Central Accounting Reporting System

  2. These totals should match. If the totals do not match, contact a tax analyst in HQ Submission Processing (SP) immediately for resolution and provide the following:

    1. Cycle number

    2. Amount of the discrepancy

    3. Transactions that are out of balance

  3. HQ SP researches and initiates any corrective action required. The campuses are notified of any actions. The corrective action process takes approximately 12 cycles to complete.

  4. Weekly, reconciling transactions are recorded until the problem is resolved.

Treasury Offset Program (TOP)/Debtor Master File (DMF) Manual Offset Reversal Transactions
  1. The HQ SP emails Fiscal Service requesting the manual reversal of a TOP/DMF offset. Fiscal Service IPACs a credit to IRS using ALC 20096500 and emails the taxpayer ID information to the HQ SP. The HQ SP credits the appropriate campus and emails a copy of the taxpayer ID information to the campus DBA.

  2. After the campus receives the IPAC, the accounting section uses window 760 to:

    1. Debit account 2910 (IPAC Receipts)

    2. IPACR receipts

    3. Credit account 4970 (IPACR Suspense)

  3. When a Treasury Offset Program (TOP)/Debtor Master File (DMF) manual offset reversal transaction is required, Accounts Management prepares Form 3809 (Miscellaneous Adjustment Voucher) and forwards the completed document to the accounting section. A transcript of the transaction and an explanation of the adjustment must be included on the form with supporting documentation. As a reference, the IPAC document reference number is included on Form 3809. If the offset reversal is for a DMF account, the technician must provide the agency and sub-agency code. If Form 3809 is not received in the accounting section or not matching to the IPAC transmission, the technician contacts HQ SP.

  4. The accounting section determines if Form 3809 is prepared correctly using the table below:

    Manual Offset Reversals
    If Then Accounting
    Form 3809 is prepared correctly 1. Sort, batch, and number the Form 3809 by tax class.
    2. List Form 3809 on Form 813 (Document Register).
    3. Forward Forms 3809 and Forms 813 to RACS for processing.
    Form 3809 is not prepared correctly Contact Accounts Management for clarification or any corrections.

  5. Upon receipt of Form 3809 (Miscellaneous Adjustment Voucher) from Accounts Management, the accounting section is responsible for:

    1. Prepare a reconciliation sheet and post a journal entry for the total amount using the RRACS accounting application window 469. See 2 (c) above.

    2. Using window 469 to debit 4970 (IPACR Suspense), credit the taxpayers' MF account in accordance with Form 3809 (example: IMF 4220). Reclass with a DR 2410 and CR 2910. - After posting a journal of Form 3809 then release to batching.

  6. Separate Form 3809 (Miscellaneous Adjustment Voucher).

  7. Retaining the debit Form 3809, reflecting account 4970 with a copy of Form 813 (Document Register), as a source document for month end balancing.

  8. Forwarding the credit Form 3809, reflecting the taxpayer account activity and Form 813.

  9. Occasionally, a computer-generated reversal cannot occur. For additional information, see IRM 21.4.6, Refund Offset procedures.

Statement of Difference (SOD)

  1. The Statement of Difference (SOD) automated reports (0652 Deposits and 0653 Disbursements) are available mid-month after the CFO HQ analyst uploads the data to RRACS. The reports are used as a summary for any differences that exist.

  2. Once processed, an email is generated and sent to the service centers and CFO contact points:

    • 0652, SPC Statement of Difference, Deposits

    • 0653, SPC Statement of Difference, Disbursements

  3. The RACS 0652 and 0653 reports show all deposits (revenue) and disbursements (refunds) discrepancies (if any exist) from each SPC by agency location code. It is used to identify and reconcile differences between IRS deposits and disbursements reported by the SPC and the Fiscal Service.

  4. The CARS reports are available after the EOM processes have been completed. When this information is available, CARS and RACS reports can be used to review and research items in the 0652 and 0653, which will show a summary by month presented with any discrepancies. Under the Deposit-in-Transit System, the detail audit responsibility is performed by the depositing agency rather than the Fiscal Service. This is consistent from month to month following the report month. Prior to month-end processing, accounting balances the Collection Voucher Support Listing with the RACS 017 report for deposits and the TDO Payment, IPACS Support Listing with the RACS 031 report for disbursements.

  5. Within three workdays after the 119 journal posts, the CARS/RACS SOD Summary Report and the Deposit and Disbursement Reconciliation Reports are due to the CFO HQ analyst. All reports that are used to research the CARS/RACS 0652 and 0653 report and the Deposit/Disbursement Reconciliation reports must also be sent, specifically the RACS 017, RACS 031, CARS Collection Support Listing, TDO Payments and the IPAC Support Listing. The technician sends an email confirmation to the CFO HQ analyst with the signed 0652 and 0653, the signed reconciliation report and the backup reports and documentation. The service center files a copy of the email and each campus reconciliation report. The email confirmation document confirms the time and date the reconciliation reports were sent and received by the CFO HQ analyst. Each campus must report all deposit and disbursement discrepancies on the Deposit/Disbursement Reconciliation report provided to the CFO HQ analyst. These reports provide the detail records that make up the difference reported on the RACS 0652 and 0653 Report with an explanation of the action taken to resolve each issue. The report must be emailed with any required backup documentation to a CFO HQ analyst at, &CFO:FM:CFM CA Custodial Systems and Analysis, to the CFO mailbox at cfo.rfm.iracs@irs.gov and to the SP HQ analyst for your campus at WI.SP.RRACS@irs.gov. All of the reports and documentation must be available when requested from CFO HQ analyst.

  6. Use the following sources for the information required on the reconciliation report:

    1. Month – Audit Month on 0652 - SOD, deposits report and 0653 - SOD, disbursements report

    2. RACS 017 (DT/DV) – Net Total DT/DV Amount for the Month

    3. CARS Collection Voucher Support Listing – Subtotal Amount for the Month

    4. Deposit Discrepancy – Difference between RACS 017 and CARS Collection Voucher. The detail of this discrepancy must be presented on the Deposit Reconciliation report

    5. RACS 031 (Confirmed Disbursement Report)

    6. IPAC Support Listing – Grand Total Amount

    7. TDO Payments – Total

    8. Disbursement Discrepancy – Difference between RACS 031, IPAC Support Listing and TDO Payments. The detail of the discrepancy must be presented on the Disbursement Reconciliation report

  7. The technician completes the information required on the Deposit/Disbursement Reconciliation report using the following information:

    1. Audit Mo/Yr - From the DT/DV or from the 0652 and 0653 report

    2. DT/DV # - Voucher number from the DT/DV

    3. Date Presented (Box 2 date) - OTCnet voucher date

    4. Confirmed Date on Ticket/CIR - Confirmed date on OTCnet (or CIR) DT. Created date on OTCnet (or CIR) debit voucher. Created date on an adjustment DT/DV

    5. Date Received in RACS Unit - Received stamp date on DT/DV

    6. Treasury Amount - Collection Voucher Support Listing

    7. IRS Amount - RACS 017 (DT/DV) report

    8. Action Taken - An explanation of the difference and the corrective action taken

    9. Journal entry numbers for all associated journals

Reconciliation of Deposit Differences
  1. The SOD 0652, SPC Statement of Difference, Deposits and 0653, SPC SOD, Disbursements, compare summary totals. The Collection Voucher Support Listing and RACS 017 (DT/DV Support List) are used to reconcile DT/DV on the Deposit Reconciliation report. The following reports support the summary totals:

    1. From CARS, Collection Voucher Support Listing information

    2. From RRACS, the RACS 017 DT/DV Support listing

    The Collection Voucher Support Listing shows all DT/DV submitted through Fiscal Service. The RACS 017 report shows all DT/DV journalized into the RRACS system (IRS) for the accounting period. The monthly DT/DV Support Listing identifies the items that support the Fiscal Service total.

  2. During the balancing process, the detail records that make up the difference between the totals reported by Fiscal Service and the totals reported in RRACS are compared during routine processing with the deposit information processed by the Fiscal Service monthly. Four reports are generated when ECC-MTB runs the DT/DV Match:

    1. DT/DV Match Treasury Records 035A

    2. DT/DV Unmatched Treasury Records 035B

    3. DT/DV Unmatched RACS Records 035C

    4. DT/DV Match Error Report 035D

  3. The Records and Report items listed in paragraph (2) above, should be identified and researched during the CIR process. The technician maintains comprehensive history sheets noting actions taken, date of action, name of contact and descriptive information regarding the action taken.

    Note:

    Error items do not appear on the unmatched reports.

  4. The RACS 035B (Unmatched Treasury Records) and RACS 035C (Unmatched RACS Records) reflect the DT/DV that, for various reasons, did not match during the month. The RACS 035B and 035C items must be verified against each other. Verify each item by matching the Treasury document ID number and dollar amount. Check the DTs from the RACS 035C under journal research to ensure they have been confirmed. If not, a manual confirmation journal must be done (211 journal). If there are offsetting debits and credits with the same Treasury document ID number and money amounts, post 908 and 909 journals. The DBA posts DT/DV under the 908 and 909 window (Reconcile); this deletes the items from the RACS 035B and 035C. The manager must review, initial and date the listing before the DBA is able to post the 908 and 909 journals. Maintain a log for audit purposes on 908 and 909 journals.

    Note:

    Under message: Reference the original journal number.

  5. DTs dated the last day of the month may not be reported on CIR by the depository until the following month. These DTs should be worked prior to month end processing and can be achieved through a combination of suspense and/or reclass methods to not have a SOD. If they are not worked, these items will appear on the SOD and are generally an easily identified timing problem.

  6. The SOD will be received monthly until differences are reconciled.

  7. All differences must be corrected. If RRACS input is correct, contact the financial institution or the Fiscal Service for correction. If RRACS input is incorrect, the correction must be made in RRACS.

  8. Adjustment DT/DVs' prepared date is the date of the original deposit.

  9. The financial institution should be using the prepared date (and not the current date) when transmitting adjustment DT/DVs via OTCnet/CIR. In situations where the depository used the current date erroneously, contact the Fiscal Service for corrective action. The Fiscal Service will correct the date, as well as Doc-ID and ALC, if necessary.

  10. If items have aged over 90 days (audit month), email a copy of the corresponding DT/DV and supporting documentation to the CFO HQ analyst.

  11. Deposits with aging confirm/create dates are at risk for adverse 90-day aging scorecard ratings and should be researched and resolved.

  12. The formula for calculating the Deposit SOD is:

    IRS - Treasury = Deposit SOD

  13. Any discrepancies are reported on the reconciliation report. The reviewer (DBA or higher-level personnel) should review the reports for accuracy and supporting backup documentation before signing or submitting the SOD to CFO HQ. The reconciliation report is verified by comparing it to the 035B/035C and 0652/0653 reports prior to submitting to CFO headquarters.

  14. The Deposit Reconciliation report requires the following signatures:

    1. Preparer

    2. Reviewer

    3. Certifying officer (accounting department manager)

    Hard copy signatures should be kept on file at the campus. A typed version of the reconciliation report including the preparer, reviewer and the certifying officer signatures should be emailed to a CFO HQ analyst.

  15. The automated 0652 summary report requires the following signatures:

    1. Initial reviewer signature

    2. Second reviewer signature

    3. Final reviewer signature

    Note:

    These signatures can be the same individuals that sign the reconciliation report

    .

      4902000800 Del Orders Oblig Paid VI

Refund Match Program and Net Tax Refund Report (NTRR) Line Data

  1. The success of the refund match program depends on the data match made between the Treasury Department Order (TDO) and the campus entry of each SF 1166 schedule number, month/year of the prepared date and money amount. All schedule numbers must be entered exactly as they appear on the SPS schedule.

  2. The TDO payments are downloaded weekly and at the first of every month from CARS into a text file by the CFO HQ Accounting analyst. The text file data is uploaded into the RRACS database. The refund match program reads the TDO payment file and matches it against the refund records on RRACS.

  3. An automated batch journal is generated confirming when the refund match is complete.

  4. When a match occurs, the database refund records are updated with the Treasury confirmation date and posts a confirmation journal automatically. After the confirmation journal posts, the refund records are applied to the following general ledger accounts and updated:

    1. 5100 (Disbursements, Principal)

    2. 5200 (Disbursements, Interest)

    3. 5301 (Disbursements, Miscellaneous User Fee)

    4. 5305 (Disbursements, OIC User Fee)

    5. 5400 (Disbursements, Miscellaneous Revenue)

    6. 5401 (Disbursements, PFIC (Ogden Only)

    7. 48XX

    The NTRR line data is moved from the suspense field to the appropriate tax class line.

  5. If the Treasury record is a photocopy fee refund, a reclassification is posted, and the following accounts are updated:

    1. Account 2340 - Photocopy Fees

    2. Account 2410 - Repayment Principal

  6. The following reports are created from the refund match program:

    1. Matched disbursement records - 124A

    2. Recirculating Treasury records - 124B

    3. Unmatched RACS disbursement records - 124C

    4. Refund match error records - 124D

  7. The refund match error report list refund and data records that need to be corrected and confirmed manually. Refund and data records that do not match a refund record and are not on the refund match error report are placed on a recirculating file.

Statement of Difference - Disbursements

  1. The SOD automated reports are typically available around mid-month after a CFO HQ analyst uploads the data into RRACS. The report is used as a summary for any disbursement differences that exist.

  2. Once notified, generate the automated 0653, SPC Statement of Difference Disbursements summary report.

  3. The CARS/RACS SOD is a comparison between CARS and RACS disbursements. The CARS/RACS SOD 0653 indicates disbursements discrepancies from each SPC by agency location code.

  4. Within three workdays after the 119 journal posts, the CARS/RACS SOD 0653 Report, the Deposit and Disbursement Reconciliation Reports and the supporting documentation/reports are due to CFO HQ analyst, if unreconciled. All reports that are used must also be sent, specifically the RACS 031 (Confirmed Disbursements Report), CARS Collection Support Listing, the CARS TDO Payments and the IPAC Support Listing. The technician emails the report and any required back up documentation to the CFO HQ mailbox at &CFO:FM:CFM CA Custodial Systems and Analysis and the CFO mailbox at *CFO RFM IRACS and to the CFO HQ analyst, WI.SP.RRACS@irs.gov. The SOD worksheets must be available when requested from CFO HQ .

  5. Use the following sources for the information required on the CARS/RACS SOD Reconciliation Report:

    1. Month – Audit Month on the 0653 Report

    2. RACS 031 (Confirmed Disbursement Report) – Total Payments

    3. Disbursement Discrepancy – Difference between RACS 031, IPAC Support Listing and TDO Payments. The detail of the discrepancy must be presented on the Disbursement Reconciliation report.

  6. The technician completes the information required on the Disbursement Reconciliation Report using the following information:

    1. Date Received in RACS Unit - Received stamp date on DT/DV

    2. Treasury Amount - IPACS Support Listing and TDO Payments

    3. IRS Amount - RACS 031 (Confirmed Disbursement Report)

  7. The Disbursement Reconciliation Report requires the following signatures:

    1. Preparer

    2. Reviewer

    3. Certifying officer (accounting department manager)

    Hard copy signatures should be kept on file at the campus. A typed version of the reconciliation report including the preparer, reviewer and the certifying officer signatures should be emailed to a CFO HQ analyst, if unreconciled.

  8. The automated 653 summary report requires the following signatures:

    • Initial reviewer signature

    • Second reviewer signature

    • Final reviewer signature

    Note:

    These signatures can be from the same individuals signing the reconciliation report

    .

Reconciliation of Disbursement Differences
  1. The RACS 0653, SPC SOD, Disbursements Report incorporates totals from the IPAC Support Listing, TDO Payment and RACS 031 reports. The reports used for disbursements are:

    1. Download from CARS, the IPAC Support Listing and TDO Payments.

    2. Download from RACS and the RACS 031 (Confirmed Disbursement Report).

    The TDO Payments and IPAC Support Listing show all disbursements submitted through the Fiscal Service. The RACS 031 report shows all disbursements journalized into the RRACS system for the accounting period. The comparison between the CARS and RACS reports shows the difference between SP totals and the totals submitted through the Fiscal Service, if any.

  2. During the balancing process, the CARS/RACS SOD Summary Report compares the CARS Collection summary with the RACS summary during routine processing with the disbursement information processed by the Fiscal Service monthly.

  3. SOD is received monthly until differences are reconciled.

  4. All differences must be corrected. If RRACS input is correct, contact the financial institution or the Fiscal Service for correction. If RRACS input is incorrect, the correction must be made in RRACS.

  5. Sources for finding the prepare date and confirm date for the disbursement reconciliation report date columns are:

    Note:

    The confirmed and prepared dates in the table below determine the input date into RRACS.

    Source document Confirm date listed as Prepare date listed as
    On the TFS 1185 Date of certification N/A
    Summary Tape Schedule Requested payment date N/A
    Refund Schedules N/A Prepare date
    TDO Payments Confirm date N/A
    IMF and BMF NTRR Recap Confirm date Prepare date
    Confirm disbursement report Confirm date Prepare date

  6. Any disbursements listed on the 0653 require the corresponding refund schedule and supporting documentation are emailed to the CFO HQ analyst.

  7. Disbursements with aging confirm/create dates are at risk for adverse 90-day aging scorecard ratings and should be researched and resolved.

  8. Discrepancies are reported on the Disbursement Reconciliation Report. The reviewer (DBA or higher-level personnel) should review the reports for accuracy and supporting backup documentation before signing or submitting the SOD to CFO HQ office. The reconciliation report is verified by comparing it to the 0653, 031, IPAC and TDO reports prior to submitting to CFO HQ.

CFO HQ Accounting

  1. CFO HQ accounting responsibilities coincide with areas of administrative jurisdiction and legal accountability for each campus. The campus maintains double-entry general ledger accounts covering varied revenue transactions and provides consolidated recording of assessments, collections, receivables, refunds, over-assessments, and other custodial accounting elements.

  2. Taxpayer accounts installation of the Master File (MF) system necessitates the maintenance of two categories of taxpayer accounts for the types of tax liabilities and period, as prescribed in returns processing procedures.

    1. MF and CADE accounts: taxpayer accounts established and entered into the MF records.

    2. NMF accounts: taxpayer accounts which have not been prescribed for entry into the MF records but are processed at the campus.

  3. Reports include required data for each field office and campus. Each general ledger account is numerically identified by a four-digit code. This code number is used when referencing a general ledger account, both in procedural instructions and on reports or other forms. A complete listing of the accounts prescribed for maintenance in the general ledger is contained in the chart of accounts.

  4. The campus reporting requirements are:

    1. Financial reports are prepared or processed periodically by the campuses and furnished to CFO HQ and Fiscal Service for use in publishing consolidated reports and evaluating operations. The data for these reports is obtained from the general ledger account information, computer-generated or manual output relative to taxpayer accounts.

    2. These reports provide CFO HQ with information pertinent to the budget justification and with required volume statistics covering the various operational areas. For additional information, see IRM 3.17.41, Accounting and Operating Reports.

  5. Internal control management has the responsibility for providing a system of financial control including elements of internal accounting control necessary to assure compliance with all administrative and legal requirements.

Ledger Classification

  1. Ledger classification is a unique identification contained in RRACS indicating how money or items post to the IRS general ledger accounts, tax class, appropriation symbols, recap, and Net Tax Refund Report (NTRR) line numbers, deposit source codes and types of input documents.

  2. If a transaction fails any validation test, a message is displayed on the transaction screen in an information box. The message may indicate the transaction failed or the appropriate corrective information to take. Data that passes all validation tests updates RRACS.

  3. Each transaction received by the windows or batch is assigned automatically a journal number that is displayed on the window. The terminal operator uses the journal number to cross reference the input documents with the transaction.

Document Preparation

  1. Document preparation procedures must be performed prior to input on the RRACS terminals. For certain windows, a volume of source documents is used for a single input. On other windows, two or more source documents must balance against each other. Several windows are input directly from the source documents.

  2. Form 8166 (Input Reconciliation Sheet) was developed for:

    1. Consolidating volume source documents for a single input.

    2. Reconciling source documents when a combination of documents is used as input.

  3. Follow these procedures for using Form 8166:

    1. Assign a number to the Form 8166.

    2. Maintain logbooks for the numbers.

    3. Use the reconciliation sheet number as the doc ID when a window specifies Form 8166.

    4. Use Form 8167 (Supplemental Input Reconciliation Sheet) as a continuation sheet to Form 8166 when more space is necessary. Use the same date and number on the Form 8167.

  4. When the database posting is complete, the RRACS input terminals display the journal numbers for each transaction. These journal numbers are used to cross-reference documents.

  5. If a reconciliation sheet is used, the journal number(s) are recorded on the reconciliation sheet. The reconciliation sheet number may also be used to cross-reference to the source documents to expedite processing, if the Form 8166 is stamped with the journal number after input to RRACS.

  6. There is a maximum of 75 source journals per posting number. This includes the reclassification and application posting necessary for a complete journal.

Redesigned Revenue Accounting Control System Database

  1. Each accounting transaction is recorded in the database to the proper general ledger account. A double-entry accounting system is used to record both the debit and credit sides of the transactions. A journal number is assigned to each transaction. This journal number is used by the terminal operator to cross-reference the input documents with the transaction.

  2. The journal control number is 13 digits signifying a unique transaction. The first three digits identify the RRACS main menu and sub-menu selections, the next six digits are the current date and the last four signify the sequence for that window series.

  3. The RRACS database is comprised of a variety of records that summarize the total debit and credit amounts by account numbers. Items for both debits and credits are summarized by the disbursement and assessment accounts only.

  4. Each update to the database is by journal entry. Journal entries and online reports are assigned a journal number. In case of an error in a journal entry or online report, the capabilities exist to reverse the entire entry by a reversal journal. Information available includes:

    1. Activity detail - Contains information regarding prepared date, confirmed date and assessed date of various source journals

    2. Source journal - Contains transaction number and batch date for a document that is posted to the database

    3. Journal entry - Contains amount and item count information

  5. Components of the RRACS database:

    1. ALC - Identifies campus

    2. State and U.S. territories - Contains a list of state and U.S. territories for the Fiscal Service and the Commissioner's Annual Report

    3. Default date regular - Monday assessment date

    4. Responsible Official - List of campus directors for losses and shortages

    5. Account Period - List of account periods that is updated annually

    6. Financial institutions

    7. Research detail - Additional information stored when incoming CIR data do not match with RRACS deposit record (for research purposes)

    8. D-Transaction failure - Contains reason why a batch run failed

    9. Ledger classification - Contains descriptive information about documents and money

    10. Line class - A list of refund and recap line numbers

    11. Tax class - A list of tax classes

    12. Source journal type - Describes the type of document posted on the RRACS database

    13. IRS Accounts - List of IRS and Treasury account numbers

    14. Ledger Entry - Indicates whether a journal entry is a debit or credit

    15. Appropriation symbol - A list of Treasury appropriation symbols on the RACS 020, 020A and 020B, Statement of Transaction reports

    16. Originating source - Information regarding the origin of deposit

RRACS Processing Accounting Applications

  1. The accounting application window records the transfer of debits/credits between various general ledger accounts and between campuses.

RRACS Inventory Accounts

  1. RRACS must never contain any taxpayer information. Do not use taxpayer ID numbers or any other identifying information for doc ID case numbers.

  2. For all inventory accounts, never use a DBA reversal window to reverse an action or a modification window to correct an open case. First close the case, then reopen the case.

  3. Maintain a history sheet to document actions for all inventory accounts that are open over 30 days.

Extended Hours at Enterprise Computing Center - Martinsburg (ECC-MTB)

  1. Campuses are responsible for opening a KISAM ticket whenever they need extended hours on RRACS. The ticket should be assigned to ECC-MTB Scheduling. Let them know the RRACS applications and DB2 database is required to be available on a certain day and during what hours, (for example: Tuesday, April 15, 20XX, from 8:00 a.m. through April 16, 20XX, 2:30 a.m. EST (18.5 total hours)). If the request is for extended hours going beyond 12:00 midnight, contact the RRACS IT group so they can delay overnight batch processing. Email the NHQ RRACS group and the RRACS IT group when an KISAM ticket is opened (include all details, such as date, extended hours, ticket number).

Disaster Recovery Contingency Plan

  1. The development RRACS IT group determines the length of time to recover the RRACS system. Notify the appropriate operation manager of the situation with estimated time to recovery. Maintain open communications with the computer room, management staff and all affected areas, as appropriate. The disabled campus contacts the area offices to advise where assessments should be processed.

Short Term Strategy

  1. If RRACS is unavailable during month end, contact CFO HQ Accounting immediately. CFO HQ Accounting has the capability to obtain EOM reports and email them to a campus.

  2. If RRACS is unavailable, prepare the following documents using a local area network computer. If the local area network is unavailable, prepare a manual document:

    1. Form 8166 (Input Reconciliation Sheet) for all accounting packages and assessments.

    2. Form 23C (Summary Record of Assessment/Assessment Certificate) for daily/weekly assessments.

  3. After RRACS is available:

    1. Input information from Form 8166 (Input Reconciliation Sheet).

    2. Input Form 23C information. If the manual Form 23C contains an error, make corrections and stamp journal number on Form 8166 and/or the NMF assessment recap.

  4. RRACS DBA duties if the system comes up within 24 hours include:

    1. Determine the extent of the problem.

    2. Identify any partial transactions and take the necessary steps to recover them.

    3. Run End of Day (EOD) and compare to first Daily Trial Balance (DTrial) to ensure that the database is in balance.

    4. If all accounts are in balance, proceed with processing.

    5. If there is an imbalance, isolate and correct the error and proceed with processing.

    6. If the error cannot be found, have the tape from the last good EOD reloaded.

    7. Run a DTrial and compare to the previous day's DTrial to ensure correctness.

    8. If there is a good list from EOD, the work can be input in the same order as it was input earlier and the audit trail is retained.

    9. If a partial shutdown occurs during EOD, each report can be pulled separately and a determination can be made where the shutdown occurred. Call CFO HQ Accounting for guidance from a computer program analyst.

Server Disruption Contingency Plan

  1. For occasions where the campus server goes down, follow these procedures:

    1. Immediately submit a KISAM ticket.

      Note:

      You must indicate on the ticket that IT needs to contact the CFO HQ RACS unit on the status of the disruption.

    2. Contact the CFO HQ RACS unit immediately after submitting the ticket.

  2. After 36 hours of downtime, management implements the appropriate contingency plan.

Scorecard Contingency Plan

  1. In the event that the campus is closed (e.g. disaster, inclement weather, power outage) at the end of the month (second business day), implement the following procedures:

    1. The department manager or their designee will email the CFO HQ RACS mailbox and copy (cc) the SP HQ mailbox immediately, but no later than 8:00 am local time

      • CFO HQ RACS - CFO RFM IRACS or *cfo.rfm.iracs@irs.gov and HQ Accounting, &CFO:FM:CFM CA Custodial Systems and Analysis

    2. CFO HQ RACS management implements the appropriate contingency plan, (for example an extension for the affected submission processing center(s)(SPC).

    3. Upon reopening of the SPC, any scorecard deliverables (SF 224, 20F3502, 30F3885, 7001/7009) must be submitted by their normal deadlines.

      Note:

      These procedures do not apply to delayed openings. If the SPC has a delayed opening due to weather, follow normal procedures to request an extension.

    4. Follow normal procedures to request an extension for any other reports, if necessary.

    5. CFO HQ RACS determines scorecard ratings on a case-by-case basis.

  2. In the event that the campus is closed (e.g. disaster, inclement weather, power outage) on any other business day, implement the following procedures:

    1. The department manager or their designee must email the CFO HQ RACS mailbox, cfo.rfm.iracs@irs.gov and CFO HQ Accounting, &CFO:FM:CFM CA Custodial Systems and Analysis and copy (cc) the SP HQ mailbox, WI.SP.RRACS@irs.gov immediately but no later than 8:00 a.m. local time.

Database Administrator (DBA) Main Menu

  1. There are five options available to the DBA for maintaining the RRACS database static tables. The DBA options allow changes in accounting period, assessment date or accountable officer.

    1. DBA modify sub-menu. This menu allows modification to certain records that have posted to the RRACS general ledger accounts but contain errors in identification and status. Generally, maintain source journal data can be modified, however, ledger classification or dollar amount cannot be modified. Erroneous ledger classification or dollar amount data require a reversal journal action. All modifications begin with journal number series 902 and must be approved by management official. Modifications are not allowed to Collections Information Repository or for batch activities.

      1. Each modification is limited to one correction at a time. If multiple errors occur on one journal, one correction at a time must be performed. Prepare date must be the last item modified for multiple corrections.

      2. If modification is done incorrectly, a correction modification must be made to the original journal. They system does not allow modifications to 902 journal series.

      3. Disregard any alpha characters on high or low check numbers, only numeric input is allowed.

    2. DBA reversal sub-menu. This menu is used to reverse a journal entry which has posted in error to the general ledger accounts. A reversal journal action reverses all erroneous postings to all accounts posted in error by the original journal entry. All reversal journal number series begin with 903 or 904.

      1. Reversal journals must be approved by a management official.

      2. To ensure an adequate audit trail, notate the original journal number in the message text on the reversal journal. Include the original number in the message section of the re-input journal.

      3. When reversing a pulled or confirmed record, the pulled or confirmed posting must be reversed before the original journal can be reversed.

        Note:

        The 903 or 904 reversal journals can only be used to reverse a journal action that was input in the same accounting period.

    3. DBA Net Tax Refund Report (NTRR) sub-menu. This menu is used to increase or decrease NTRR line data. NTRR line data adjustments post as entered. There are no validity checks in place to reject erroneous postings, however, an erroneous posting can be reversed through the DBA reversal sub-menu.

    4. DBA collection sub-menu. This menu provides for the control of funds during the transfer of accountability from one campus official to another.

      1. The undeposited collections sub-menu windows allow for the input to account 7500 (undeposited collections) of memorandum copies of DTs marked undeposited collections and amounts from the field office listings to cover tax payments received on the transfer date to the campus official, but not submitted to the depository that day. The deposit windows allow for the input of DTs related to previously input undeposited collection payments.

      2. Deposit sub-menu. This menu provides for the control of funds during the transfer of accountability from one campus official to another. The DBA deposit windows allow for the input of DTs related to previously input undeposited collection payments.

    5. DBA 908 window (Reconcile). This menu is used to reconcile the items posted to the RACS 035B (DTDV Unmatched Treasury Records) & 035C (DTDV Unmatched RACS Records) which for various reasons did not match during the month.

End of Day Routine

  1. The end of day (EOD) reports are generated to ensure that the database is in balance and ready to be backed up at ECC-MTB. These reports can all be generated at once or selected individually.

  2. Perform the normal EOD procedures. Verify completion of all window postings with RRACS technicians. Review the daily posting summary, daily and future trial balances and NTRR. If the EOD reports are out of balance after the review, the reports must be researched and resolved immediately.

  3. The RRACS database is automatically backed up daily by EDD-DET as part of normal mainframe procedures.

  4. RRACS programs and data files are automatically backed up daily by ECC-MTB if they were changed on that day as part of the routine procedure.

  5. Records remain on the database for a period of five years.

RRACS Validation Process

  1. After completing month end reporting, the database is ready for posting. The DBA must set the date for the new accounting month and the default date for assessments.

  2. Records are not deleted during EOM processing. All records are retained in the database for up to five years and are available for research at any time on demand.

  3. Cumulative amounts are calculated from individual records and generated based on the date parameters specified when generating reports.

  4. There are no longer current and future indicators. Records are compared to the set accounting date to determine if a record is for a future period.

  5. Records are designated as reported or not reported within the database to differentiate what should be included in the next reporting cycle.

  6. There are no longer any summary records within the database. Summaries are computed based on the sum or net of individual records.

  7. All records are related to specific general ledger accounts. It is now possible to generate all the detail records associated with a general ledger account or a summary record of assessment, etc.

Month End Closing

  1. When all transactions for a particular accounting month have been input, including perfection and re-input of errors needing correction, several procedures must be followed to close out the month, generate reports and set up the database for the new month's transactions. These procedures must be started on the second workday after the close of the accounting month. In addition, email the CFO HQ Accounting office to notify status or completion of end of month (EOM) processing.

  2. If RRACS is unavailable on EOM processing day, contact the Revenue Systems and CFO HQ Accounting section immediately, &CFO:FM:CFM CA Custodial Systems and Analysis. CFO has the capability to pull the campus EOM reports and email them to the campus.

  3. If Treasury is unavailable to transmit any supplemental, contact the CFO HQ Accounting office immediately.

  4. It is a requirement to use the EOM check list that was provided to all the campuses. The check list must be signed by the operation manager before emailing CFO HQ Accounting that the EOM balancing is complete. For additional information about the checklist, see IRM 3.17.64.31.1, Accounting Control General Ledger Policies and Procedures.

  5. Perform the normal end of day (EOD) procedures. If there is an imbalance on the daily trial balance, make necessary corrections and rerun EOD procedures. When all corrections have been made and a balanced daily trial balance has been produced, the database is ready to run month end reports.

  6. The field office inventory detail inventory report can be generated every month. Verification by the field is required semi-annually. For the months of March and September, prepare a two-way memo to each area requesting confirmation from them.

  7. Month Ending September requires that the fiscal year end reports are selected from the fiscal year end menu, after month end reports have been generated and validated.

  8. After all reports are generated, the DBA must change the accounting period to the new accounting month.

    Note:

    The assessment date will default.

  9. The system is backed up during normal EOD procedures at ECC-MTB.

  10. One copy of each report is generated. Upon completion, each report must be reviewed for accuracy. If there are any problems, the DBA must initiate a corrective action and regenerate a corrected report.

Month End Reports
  1. One copy of each report is generated. Upon completion, each report must be reviewed for accuracy. If there are any problems, the DBA must initiate a corrective action and regenerate a corrected report.

  2. If there are any Treasury supplemental submitted, the service centers must email a copy to the CFO HQ Accounting no later than the fifth workday of the new month.

  3. After EOM balancing is complete, send the total dollar amount reported in Section I for appropriation fund 20X5080.1 via email to: SecuritiesAccountingTeam@fiscal.treasury.gov. The email must be sent no later than COB on the second workday of the new month and contain:

    1. Campus name

    2. ALC

    3. Accounting period ending

    4. Total dollar amount reported on RACS 020 in Section I for Appropriation Fund 20X5080.1 (must report zero dollars).

Fiscal Year-End Processing

  1. Fiscal year-end reports must be requested immediately after verifying September month end reports.

  2. Reports are generated from the report’s main menu and the fiscal year-end reports sub-menu. All reports can be requested at once by selecting the All option or individual reports may be run by selecting their individual titles. The All option zeroes out the nominal accounts, creates a journal 199 and produces a FY Form 2162 (Summary of Assessment Certificates Issued), as well as a cumulative trial balance. The monthly trial balance must be verified to assure that all nominal accounts are zero and that the real accounts have been rolled over correctly.

  3. All nominal account balances are closed out to general ledger account 9999 (Revenue Clearance Accountability).

Account 2395, Offers in Compromise (OIC) User Fee (Nominal Account, Dr Normal Balance) (Brookhaven, Ogden, & Memphis Only) (TAS 20X5432.4)
  1. The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act (TIPRA) of 2005 amended IRC 7122, requiring a 20% deposit (or the first payment in the case of installment offers), in addition to the $186 user fee, when an offer is requested. This legislation also gives the taxpayers full credit on their tax module for all user fees paid. This was implemented July 24, 2006.

  2. The IRS does not have a process in place to post money to the user fee account and give taxpayers credit on their tax module for the user fee that was paid. To assure that taxpayers received credit for the payment of the user fee against the offer amount, user fee payments post to account 4710, which is a suspense account that holds payments while offers are being considered and subsequently moves to account 2120 (Individual Income Revenue Receipt) and the taxpayer's record when the offer is considered processable. Prior to TIPRA enactment, a deposit was not required and could be refunded if the offer was not accepted. Therefore, deposits to RACS account 4710 (Offers-in-Compromise Ogden Only) were not transferred until offers were accepted. Under TIPRA, deposits are required and are not refundable, so the deposits recorded to account 4710 are moved to the taxpayer's account once the offer is determined to be processable,

  3. After an initial adjustment transfer was made in January 2007, adjustments are now made monthly.

  4. The following manual procedures should be followed when the automatic journal of these adjustments fails:

    1. If the 170 journal is confirmed, perform a DBA reversal on the deposit confirmation attached to the 170 journal.

    2. Perform a DBA reversal on the 170 journal.

    3. Re-post the 170 journal as a 210 journal.

    4. Confirm all DTs on the reversed deposit confirmation journal.

  2. Amounts in this account may be adjusted by reclassification of monies from any of the other receipt accounts. Reclassification between separate disbursing appropriations contained in this account may also be made.

  3. Reductions to this account are made only through reclassification since all dishonored checks are recorded originally as revenue receipts.

  4. This account is maintained on a fiscal year basis.

This receipt account was used to record amounts deposited to that fund.

  2. Included in this account are monies for fees, penalties, and fines.

  3. This account may be decreased only through disbursements.

  4. This account is maintained on a fiscal year basis.

Account 2900, Child Support Receipts (Nominal Account, DR Normal Balance) (TAS 75X6288)

When certified by the HHS, the arrearage is treated as taxes collectible. Any such collection is assessed and deposited as excise tax and then reclassified from excise tax to the Child Support Collections account 2900.

Unpostable Applications

  1. Documents that are unable to post at the Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) come back to the campus as unpostable. Resolution codes 1, 2 and 8 on GUF 5340 nullify the unpostables:

    1. Code 1 indicates the record goes back to suspense status.

    2. Code 2 indicates a voided record.

    3. Code 8 indicates a record going to rejects.

  2. Documents may be:

    1. Re-input to correct any errors.

    2. Renumbered to another file or tax class.

    3. Transferred to another campus.

    4. Transferred with same Document Locator Number (DLN) to unidentified, deposit fund or general ledger accounts such as account 6800 (Excess Collections) or account 1510 (Other Receivables).

  3. Receive GUF 5340 (Unpostable Control Report). For amounts put back in-process, entries are made from the total nullified unpostables account (4130 BMF, 4230 IMF) to the in-process accounts (4120 BMF, 4220 IMF). Subsequent reclassification may be required.

  4. Credit entries to deposit fund accounts are made from the individual documents. Documents must have a doc ID. Journalize from unpostable accounts 4130 or 4230 to deposit fund accounts (4710 OIC, 4720 Sale of Seized Property or 4730 Miscellaneous). It is necessary to reclassify. Decrease revenue receipts account 21XX (credit) and increase deposit funds account 7002 (debit).

  5. Data from GUF 5340 is automatically journaled via the RAC35 process. This run includes the new, nullified, corrected, and reclassified unpostable transactions received from and sent to ECC for MF. If the electronic data input is incorrect, a new transmission is processed or the data is input manually from the hard copy. This manual process is done through the accounting application main menu. Transcribe or stamp journal identification number on control listings and documents, as required for audit trail.

New Unpostable Documents
  1. The following source documents are received when new unpostables are added to the file:

    1. IMF Unpostable Controls - listing number GUF 5340

    2. IMF Revenue Receipt Control Sheet (RRCS) - listing number SCF1340

    3. Business master file (BMF) Unpostable Controls - listing number GUF 5340

    4. BMF Revenue Receipts control Sheet (RRCS) - listing number SCF1340

  2. Entries are made from unpostable controls total items and amount. Ensure the cycle number is available on the listing. Net credit on unpostable controls is an increase (credits ECC unpostable documents accounts - IMF 4230 and BMF 4130). Net debit on unpostable controls is a decrease.

  3. New unpostables as well as nullified, reclassified, and corrected unpostables are journalized from the GUF 5340 by tape processing.

  4. RAC35 is the program which posts the data in a batch environment rather than entering the data manually.

  5. RAC35R is the program that reverses all posting done by RAC35.

  6. Transcribe or stamp journal identification number on unpostable listings for audit trail.

Service Center (SC) recap of Assessments, Abatements and Other Post-Journalized Transactions

  1. The SC recaps are produced daily during master file (MF) processing and, when printed, are used to journalize the transactions which are computer generated during the MF processing. The recaps are also used as the basis for generation of the summary record of assessments and preparation of Form 2188 (Voucher & Schedule of Overpayment and Overassessments). Description of items summarized for post-journaling on SC recaps are:

    1. Assessments - Current, deficiency and other assessments are generated during a processing cycle and are individually posted to BMF and IMF accounts at ECC. All assessments are summarized by the campus and by tax class. The assessment date (also referred to as the 23C date) for each processing and posting cycle is prescribed in IRM 3.30.123, Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria and Critical Dates.

    2. Abatements - Overassessment transactions are individually recorded on BMF and IMF accounts by ECC as reductions of previously recorded assessments. They are summarized by campus and tax class.

    3. Credits - Withholding tax and excess FICA payments claimed by taxpayers on Form 1040 returns are generated and posted to the MF. (TC 806 less 807).

    4. Other Credits - Refundable and accountable credits claimed by the taxpayer on Forms 1040 and 1120 (e.g., Form 2439, copy b) regulated investment credits, credit for taxes paid by trust, interest paid on tax-free covenant bonds and gasoline tax or claimed as line-item credit adjustments on Form 5344 (Examination Closing Record), are posted to the MF. (TC 766 less 767) TC 766 (Recap line 140) debits 1550 and credits 4210. Transaction Code (TC) 767 (Recap line 141) debits 4210 and credits 1550.

    5. Reclassification Adjustments - ECC processing of MF account transactions frequently involves adjustments between MF tax accounts (modules), including adjustments between tax classes. The transactions require tax reclassification entries in the general ledger accounts and inclusion in the tax class reclassification reports. Increases to tax classes are shown with a minus sign following the amount. Decreases have no sign after the amount. These adjustments are summarized by tax class and the totals include both the debit and credit entries incidental to the generated transfers (including interest amounts) between tax accounts or within the same entity account (TC 826-706, 856-736 and doc code 34 transactions). Interest debit and credit entries zero out but the credit total is used for report purposes.

    6. CR transfer to BMF from IMF - Where applicable, overpayment balances on the IMF are transferred for application to any outstanding tax liabilities on the same taxpayer's BMF account. The transfer transactions are summarized on the recaps.

    7. Accounts to other submission processing sites,
      accounts from other submission processing sites,
      credits to other submission processing sites and
      credits from other submission processing sites - Generate transfers of account and credits to and from submission processing sites.

    8. Interest allowed for debit (DR) and interest allowed with credit (CR) - Interest transactions allowed on overpayment credit balances and their related debits.

    9. Small CR cleared and small DR cleared - Generate debit and credit entries to offset or clear small balances.

    10. OIC Write-Off - Amounts of tax liabilities written off upon acceptance of offers, summarized by tax class.

    11. Statute expired (EXP) DR clearance and reversal - Clearance of debit balances upon statute expiration and reversal of these clearances, summarized by tax class.

    12. Other Transactions - Summarized on the SC recap.

    13. Refunds Generated - Refund amounts, including interest, manually posted to the MF. For additional information, see IRM 3.17.79, Accounting Refund Transactions regarding refund procedures. The journal of refunds is affected from the SF 1166 (Voucher and Schedule of Payments).

    14. Interest transfer from MF - Overpayment interest transferred from the MF to be credited to NMF accounts.

    15. Pre-Journalized Transactions - Summary of debits and credits applied to the MF.

    16. Outstanding Module Balances - The number and type of module balances on the MF.

    17. Credit Balance - Credit balance modules regardless of status.

    18. Current Status (BMF only) - All modules in status 14, 18 or 20.

    19. Notice Status - All other modules on which collection enforcement has not been suspended (i.e., notice status 13, 19, 20, 21, 54, 56 and 58).

    20. Taxpayer Delinquent Account (TDA) Status - All items with status 22 (BMF) and status codes 22, 24 or 26 (IMF).

    21. Uncollectible Status - Currently not collectible (CNC).

    22. Inactive Status - All modules on which collection enforcement has been suspended.

    23. Deferred Status - Status code 23 including closing code 09.

    24. Other Status - Other debit modules which do not fall into the above status categories.

Inventory Control (Ogden Only)

  1. The inventory control windows record the acquisition and disposition of seized property, acquired property and collateral.

Seized Property

  1. Seized property is controlled through the inventory control main menu. This inventory is maintained in RRACS. The Form 2433, Notice of Seizure, Part 7A, creates a new district office inventory record. The Form 2433, Part 7B, closes an AOI (Area Office Inventory) record when the seized property is disposed.

  2. Each form must be verified to ensure complete and proper information for input is present. Each form must contain doc ID, date, and dollar amount. The seizure date must be used when inputting to the inventory account. Monthly reports are produced from these AOI records for individual field offices under the SP report main menu. These reports identify the record by doc ID. Form 2433, Part 7B, must match the doc ID of the record to be updated.

  3. Entries are made from individual forms as follows:

    1. Form 2433, Notice of Seizure, Part 7A, new record. Window 320 (Seized Property Open) journal is a debit to account 3300, Seized Property and credit to account 4980, Liability for Inventory account.

    2. Form 2433, Part 7B, Closing entry. Window 321 (Seized Property Close) journal is a debit to account 4980 (Liability for Inventory Accounts) and credit to account 3300 (Seized Property, Ogden only).

  4. Transcribe or stamp journal identification number on all forms for audit trail. Form 2433 must be filed in the case files. These files are not considered the subsidiary.

Acquired Property (Ogden Only)

  1. Seized property is assigned a minimum price prior to any public sale. If no successful bid (equal to or greater than the assigned minimum bid price) is received, the property may be declared for the government. Under these procedures, the federal government acquires title to real or personal property. These transactions are recorded as an acquisition:

    1. Credit the taxpayer account for the bid-in amount via Form 2424 (Account Adjustment voucher) (credit). Attach Form 2424 (debit side) to a copy of Form 2436 (Seized Property Sale Report).

    2. Form 2424 (credit) is established on the applicable service center control file (SCCF) required to apply the credit to the taxpayer's account. Cross-reference Form 2424 (debit) with the credit Document Locator Number (DLN).

  2. Entries are made subsequently from the debit/credit documents. The journal is a debit to account 7100, Acquired Property and a credit to either account 4420 (NMF SCCF), 4120 (BMF SCCF) or 4220 (IMF SCCF). The doc ID assigned by field office is the doc ID and DLN of the credit. The doc ID assigned by the field office becomes the doc ID of the AOI record in RRACS. The date is the date the property is acquired. Any subsequent action to update this record must identify the record by doc ID. File Form 2436 with debit Form 2424 attached in case file. The journal number must be cross-referenced.

  3. Acquired property may be disposed of by sale, donation (as to a museum), after loss (such as theft, spoilage, or destruction), by transfer to another federal agency or by disposal with proper approval.

  4. Sales amounts received by the government upon the sale of acquired property are recorded as revenue receipts for the tax class of the original tax liability. Credit is applied to the acquired property account in the amount outstanding for the item of property sold. Any difference between the sale amount and the amount outstanding in the acquired property account is the profit or loss on sale. The entries upon disposition are made from the payment document.

  5. With the proper authorization, any acquired property may be disposed of other than by sale.

Collateral

  1. Collateral inventory is controlled through the inventory control main menu. This inventory is maintained in RRACS. Form 2276, Collateral Deposit Record, Part 3, creates a new AOI record. Form 2276, Part 5, closes the AOI record when collateral is released or converted.

  2. Verify each form to ensure complete and proper information needed for input is present. Each form should contain the doc ID. Monthly reports are produced from these AOI records for individual field offices. These reports identify the record by doc ID. Entries are made from individual forms as follows:

    1. Form 2276, Part 3, new record. Window 323 (Collateral Open), journal is a debit to account 3200, Collateral Held and credit to account 4980, Liability for Inventory Accounts, Ogden Only. Use date collateral accepted when posting to RRACS.

    2. Form 2276, Part 5, closing entry. Window 324 (Collateral Close), journal is a debit to account 4980 and credit to account 3200.

  3. Transcribe or stamp journal identification number on forms for audit trail. Form 2276 must be filed as case files. These files are not considered the subsidiary record.

Subsidiary Records and Reconciling

  1. Subsidiary records that support certain general ledger accounts are maintained. As a rule, posting to subsidiary accounts are made directly from documents or forms evidencing the transaction. This practice avoids possible inaccuracies that may arise if information is transcribed or summarized separately and such summaries are then used for entries to the subsidiary accounts.

Accounting Subsidiaries External to RRACS

  1. The frequency of reconciliation between the subsidiary and general ledger accounts ranges from monthly to quarterly. To maintain control of the in-transit account 1600 (Manual Assessment) Form 813 (Document Register) numbered in support of Form 3552 (Prompt Assessment Billing Assembly) may be released weekly or daily to the SCCF. Reconciliation of this account must be performed at least monthly, but to facilitate balancing, it may be advantageous to reconcile it on a weekly basis.

  2. This chart lists the RRACS file records that are documented by subsidiary records, subsidiary description, and the frequency of reconciliation.

Master File Reconciliation

  1. It is necessary to ensure the total monetary balance of the appropriate general ledger accounts in each campus can be reconciled to the balance of each MF account. This is accomplished by using Form 5199A, Reciprocal Accounting Control Record (RACR), which is maintained at ECC for each campus and transmitted to the campuses daily, weekly, and monthly. The appropriate general ledger accounts are reconciled to the RACR by each campus.

  2. Each Form 5199A is closed out near the end of each month at the end of the final posting cycle. If the last day of the month falls on a Wednesday through Saturday, that week's posting cycle is included on the RACR for that month. All entries for one posting cycle should be included in the same month's RACR. ECC's RACR is forwarded to each campus five workdays after the Reconciliation of MF Balance has been completed for the last cycle included in the RACR. For additional information, see IRM 3.17.64.25, Accounting Control General Ledger Policies and Procedures.

  3. Complete Form 6168 (General Ledger Reconciliation with MCC RACR) for the current month. Reconciling items must be shown in a manner to facilitate the verification by ECC. Debits and credits must be in the proper columns. Use brackets to identify reversals. The ECC RACR items must be identified by page and line number or by a brief description like that shown on Form 5199A (Reciprocal Accounting Control Record). The general ledger items must be listed by individual file and identified by the cycle, campus file and work group number. Miscellaneous items should be identified by a brief description and by date or cycle number. Questionable or problem entries must be identified by an asterisk (*) in the action column. Separate lines are included on the Form 6168 for aged reconciled and unreconciled amounts.

  4. The campuses promptly post all entries to the appropriate general ledger accounts, including entries reflecting the transfer of the accountability between the campus and ECC. To compute the general ledger balance:

    1. Use the general ledger accounts listed on the monthly trial balance for the type of RACR being balanced.

    2. Run the net amount figure.

    3. Verify last month's RACR closing balance with this month's opening balance on Form 5199A when received from ECC.

  5. For each MF general ledger account listing, annotate each ledger entry with the cycle of the TEP; new unpostables; corrected and reclassified unpostables; schedule number of the 1098, 1185 and 145; TRACS Z listings; and cycle of refunds. Obtain a GOALS listing for your cycle information. SC recap lists the cycle; therefore, no notation is needed. The 051 report and the 004 report is used weekly from RRACS. Check the pending reconciliation items on last month's Form 6168 with the ECC RACR for:

    1. Entries posted to last month's RACR on this month's general ledger.

    2. Entries posted to last month's general ledger on this month's RACR. To prevent any aged items, investigate immediately any items appearing on the previous month's Form 6168 and not checked off for the new month.

  6. After checking off all figures on the prior month reconciliation sheet Form 6168 (General Ledger Reconciliation with MCC RACR), continue comparing the current month's RACR and general ledger to:

    1. Accountability Acceptance (AA) vouchers from the ECC - Using the cycle and day total from each MF AA voucher, check off general ledger debits and credits for the same cycle and day. If there is more than one general ledger entry per day, add these entries together for the total of that day. The corrected and reclassified unpostables are journalized as separate items but are included on the AA vouchers in the total for that day. The total debits and credits are shown separately on the voucher for the cycle and must all be checked off to a general ledger entry. The campus totals on the bottom of the AA vouchers should agree with the AA voucher line of Form 5199A, Reciprocal Accounting Control Record (RACR) by cycle. Journal numbers are 100 for unpostables, 102 for Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) and 4XX for window entries.

    2. SF 1098, 1185, 145 and Treasury Receivable Accounting and Control System (TRACS) Z listing from Treasury - The amount on the RACR F1098 line equals the total of the amounts for the applicable schedule numbers on the general ledger. TRACS Z journal numbers 4XX, F1098, F1185, F145 journal numbers 5XX.

    3. Service center replacement system (SCRS) unpostables -The debit and credit net figure on the RACR equals the separate amount on the general ledger.

    4. Refunds generated - Shown as a separate amount cycle on the general ledger. If the campus processes IMF electric funds transfer (EFT) uses the net of the EFT refund line and CID TC 841 line from the next cycle extracted from the RACR. Journal number 512 BMF and 513 IMF.

    5. The RACR net total of the A/R less refunds, plus accounts to and from other sites, plus credits to and from other sites equals the net total of the campus recap amounts on the general ledgers for the same cycle. For IMF on the general ledger use IMF recap entries as described, plus one BMF item for the previous recap cycle. Journal numbers for service center (SC) recaps are 108 BMF, 162 CADE 2 and 107 Semi-Annual IMF.

    6. M-4496 Data Adjustment Voucher - Journalized as a separate amount on the general ledger for each adjustment voucher. Journal numbers are 4XX.

    7. Any item not checked off from the RACR, list on the top half of Form 6168 under 'Entries posted to RACR not posted to the General Ledger'.

    8. Any item not checked off from the general ledger, list on the bottom half of Form 6168 under 'Entries posted to General Ledger not posted to the RACR'.

    9. The net of the above items is entered on the net reconciling amount line of Form 6168. The general ledger balance computed in (4), plus or minus the net reconciling amounts, should equal the RACR balance closing entry line.

    10. Journal numbers are 100 for unpostables, 102 for GMF TEP, 107 IMF SC recap, 108 BMF SC recap, 162 CADE 2 SC recap all are automated tape. Journals input manually are 512 and 513, 506 Cycle Refunds, 534 and 535 are 1098, 1185 and 145 Schedules, 4XX other manual journals.

    Note:

    Beginning of the year - use cycle 1 - 3 at the beginning of the year for the BMF RACR, cycle 1 - 4 for your first CADE 2 RACR, then weekly afterwards.

  7. The BMF RACR should be balanced on a weekly basis to ensure any out-of-balance situations are reconciled before EOM processing. The CADE 2 RACR should be balanced on a weekly basis to ensure any out of balance situations are reconciled before EOM processing.

  8. Upon receipt of Form 6168 (General Ledger Reconciliation with MCC RACR) and with ECC RACR from the sites, ECC-MTB verifies the correctness of the debit and credit amounts for each reconciling item shown. If any questionable or unidentifiable item is shown, the appropriate campus personnel are contacted for an explanation and both copies of the Form 6168 report are notated.

  9. ECC-MTB returns any RACRs back to the campuses that do not meet the balancing and reporting procedures.

    1. Reports main menu

    2. Monthly trial balance (MTrial) report from the month-end sub-menu

  3. After the report is generated, review the totals. If an amount appears in the general ledger totals, net amount column, the general ledger is out of balance. Contact the DBA to correct the database.

  4. An asterisk next to the account number indicates the account is in reverse status. An account in reverse status must be resolved expeditiously.

  5. A reverse status report explaining the reverse status condition must be reviewed by the reports analyst before being emailed to CFO HQ Accounting, &CFO:FM:CFM CA Custodial Systems and Analysis and CFO HQ RRACS, cfo.rfm.iracs@irs.gov no later than the fourth workday of the new month. The reverse status report should indicate in the header attachment for MTrial, the month it is for, the campus name and the SPC reports analyst signature, title, and date.

  6. This report should include:

    1. Every account that is in reverse status

    2. A clear and detailed explanation

    3. Dollar amount(s)

    4. Other information that helps identify the item(s) such as doc ID, cycle, etc.

      Note:

      If the reverse status was caused by many items, list the total amount with the explanation.

    5. When there is more than one explanation for one account, list them separately with the appropriate dollar amount for each.

    6. How long this item(s) has caused this reverse status and what action has been taken to fix the problem.

  7. The monthly general ledger trial balance must be certified as correct and the certified copy kept in the campus' GAO file. The authority for certification of this report can be designated by the campus director, but not below the operation manager.

Deposit Tickets and Debit Vouchers (RACS Report 017)

  1. This report lists DT/DVs used in support of the monthly RACS 020 report and in support of the balancing of the statement of difference summary report and the deposit/disbursement reconciliation report. The listing provides a tool for matching DT/DVs against the Treasury collection voucher support listing and for isolating any discrepancies. All DT/DVs entered during the current accounting period that have not been previously reported are included on this listing based on preparation date. For each DT/DV provide:

    1. ALC

    2. Preparation date

    3. Treasury number

    4. Doc ID

    5. DT or DV amount

  2. Each debit voucher amount posts as a credit figure. In addition, the records sort by preparation month and after each month, a net total (DTs minus the DVs) generates:

    1. The total number of DTs

    2. The total amount of DTs

    3. The total number of DVs

    4. The total amount of DVs

    5. The net total of DT/DVs

    In addition, these journals are modified so they can be identified easily.

  3. This report is produced during month end, but can be reviewed anytime throughout the month by selecting:

    1. RRACS Reports main menu

    2. Month End and DT/DV support listing menu option

Standard Form 224, Statement of Transactions (RACS Report 020)

  1. The statement of transactions gives a detailed account classification of collections, refund disbursements, refund check cancellations and transactions processed for various field offices and reflected in Treasury accounts. RACS 020 (Statement of Transactions) serves as the basis for control accounting and for audit by GAO.

    The Classification Transaction and Accountability (CTA) adjustment only requires the reclassification reporting that was formally Section I of the SF 224 process. All reclassifications on the CTA adjustment must balance to zero between the Treasury account symbols. Sections II and III are replaced by the financial institution directly reporting the information to Treasury.

  2. This report is automatically generated in EOM processing. It may also be generated separately by selecting:

    1. Reports main menu

    2. RACS 020 on the Month End menu

Central Accounting Reporting System (CARS) Automated Bulk Upload Program
  1. As of October 2014, all IRS ALCs became CARS direct reporters. As a result, all disbursement, collection and IPAC transactions are reported directly to CARS from the financial institutions. Reports RACS 020 (Statement of Transactions) and 020A (Direct Report Transactions) are used to ensure the RRACS system is in balance. The RACS 020 and 020A reports list all CARS transactions and all direct-reported transactions to CARS, respectively. IRS only has the capability to send reclassifications to CARS using the Classification Transaction and Accountability (CTA) adjustments by the following methods:

    1. CARS bulk upload - CFO HQ Accounting uploads the RACS 0118 report to CARS on the second workday to report all reclassifications for all the service centers. The RACS 0118 upload mirrors the transactions reported on the RACS 020B (Reclassifications) report.

    2. Manual reclassifications and any other further reclassifications needed following the bulk upload. These reclassifications are entered online through Treasury by the service center after the bulk upload is complete. The website is: https://cars.for.fiscal.treasury.gov/gwa/Home.

  2. To obtain access to CARS, a user ID and password must be obtained from Fiscal Service. To create an identity (Single Sign On user ID and password):

    1. Access the self-enrollment page at: https://isim.fiscal.treasury.gov/selfenroll/register

    2. For additional help with CARS enrollment go to the “Getting Started with CARS” help website at: https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/cars/getting-started.html.

    3. The help desk is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST at: https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/cars/contact.html.

  3. The end of month balancing email from the service centers must be received in the CFO HQ Accounting mailbox on or before the 11:00 a.m. local time zone on the second workday of the new month.

  4. After CFO HQ Accounting submits the original CARS submission according to procedures, agencies can submit a supplemental CTA reclassification, if needed, by the third workday. The supplemental CARS CTA reclassification does not replace the original CARS reclassification but is used to adjust it.

  5. Changes must be manually input online in CARS through a CARS CTA supplemental reclassification after CFO HQ Accounting transmits the original. Supplementals will not be available after the third workday, unless requested by the Fiscal Service. If a supplemental is requested beyond the third workday it will cause a Treasury yellow or red scorecard and must be approved by CFO HQ Accounting before submitted to CARS.

  6. The final RACS 020 and 020B Statement of Transactions report and the transmitted CARS Statement of Transactions must be signed and dated by the fifth working day of the month by the campus director or his/her designee, as it reflects the campus director's accountability. A signed copy of the final RACS 020, 020B report and the signed posted CARS statement of transactions copy is retained at the campus for use by GAO during its site audit.

  7. All supplemental changes following the original CTA upload must have back up documentation to support these changes and be kept behind the signed RACS 020 and 020B report and the posted CARS Statement of Transactions copies. This should be retained at the campus for use by GAO during its site audit.

Anti-Drug Special Fund Liability Report (RACS Report 022)

  1. The anti-drug special fund liability report lists the adjustments used to transfer monies to and from the anti-drug special fund account. This report also shows the refund amounts to state and local law enforcement agencies for reimbursement claims.

  2. At the end of each month's accounting period, verify:

    1. Amounts transferred to and from the anti-drug special fund account.

    2. Disbursements made to law enforcement agencies for the current month.

    3. Cumulative to date balance.

Net Tax Refund Report (RACS Report 023)

  1. The Net Tax Refund Report (NTRR) provides the net total of confirmed refunds issued by line number, tax class and type of refund for each ALC serviced by the campus. Refunds initially confirmed but not classified are reported under ALC 9999, line 2. NTRR information is captured through window entry or electronic data transmission. The window series that captures data for the NTRR under ALC 9999 are the 2XX, 4XX and 5XX to journalize the following data:

    1. Miscellaneous receipts refund repayments for principal and interest post to line 2

    2. Refunds principal (20X0903) and interest (20X0904) post to line 2

    3. Refund reversals post to line 2, principal and interest

    4. Refund confirmations principal (20X0903) and/or interest (20X0904) post to line 2 under principal from the confirmation copies of SF 1166 (Voucher and Schedule of Payments)

    5. Unidentified remittance miscellaneous fund applications for refund repayments of principal and/or interest post to line 2 under principal

    6. Fund reclassification between refund principal and/or interest or another symbol to line 2

    7. SF 1081 (Voucher and Schedule of Withdrawals & Credits) and journal vouchers that have appropriation symbols 20X0903 and/or 20X0904 post to line 2

  2. After classification of a refund via window or refund match, the amount is transferred from ALC 9999, line 2, to the appropriate ALC and tax classification. The files load, but don't update the database until the confirmation journal posts and releases it. The report shows data by current month and cumulative to date. Separate reports are generated.

  3. For each ALC, the appropriate types of refunds are listed by tax class. Each line entry on the report includes:

    1. Line name

    2. Current principal items and amount

    3. Current interest items and amount

    4. Current total of principal and interest amounts

  4. Within each tax class, the total items, principal, and interest amounts are computed for each type of return:

    1. Form 941 - lines 11 through 15

    2. Form 942 - lines 16 through 20

    3. Form 943 - lines 21 through 25

    4. Form 1042 - lines 26 through 30

    5. Total withholding - lines 11 through 30

    6. Individual income - lines 1 through 7

    7. Form 1041 - lines 31 through 35

    8. Form 1065 - lines 36 through 40

    9. Total individual income - lines 1 through 7 and 31 through 40

    10. Corporation income - lines 61 through 68

    11. Excise - lines 71 through 85

    12. Estate tax - lines 41 through 45

    13. Gift tax - lines 46 through 50

    14. Railroad retirement tax - lines 51 through 55

    15. Federal unemployment tax - lines 56 through 60

    16. Grand total all regular refund - lines 1 through 7, 11 through 68 and 71 through 99. Line 9 is used as a memo entry for individual journaling for super EFT refunds and is captured and reported in line 2

  5. The NTRR program can be run at any time during the month. To generate the NTRR, select:

    1. Reports main menu

    2. NTRR on the Month End sub menu

  6. When the report is produced, review the consolidated current month report to ensure the grand total all refunds matches the net total of account symbols 20X0903 and 20X0904 reported on RACS 020 Statement of Transaction report. The NTRR agrees with the balances in general ledger accounts 2410 (Refund Repay Principal), 2420 (Refund Repay Interest), 5100 (Disbursements, Principal) and 5200 (Disbursements, Interest). The NTRR trial balance program generates computations at the end of each day.

  7. The report must be signed by the operation manager.

  8. This report is maintained in the campus as a permanent record of the net tax refunds.

  9. The Line-No-Class and Line-Name-Class are as follows:
