More than one condition may be met by a single taxpayer. Generally: Taxpayers who are treated as resident aliens file Form 1040. Taxpayers who are treated as nonresident aliens file Form 1040-NR. Note: Special filing requirements often apply to U.S. territories. U.S. citizens living/traveling outside of the United States: They are generally required to file U.S. income tax returns on which they must report their worldwide income. Resident Alien: A foreign individual who meets either the green card test or the substantial presence test for the calendar year. Nonresident Alien: A foreign individual who does not meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test for the calendar year, unless: They choose to be treated as a resident alien for part of the calendar year by making the First-Year Choice (see IRM 3.21.3.3.2 (12), or They are a nonresident married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien. They and their spouse may be able to make a joint election under IRC 6013(g) or (h) to treat the individual as a resident alien for the entire calendar year. See IRM 3.21.3.3.2 (12) and IRM 3.21.3.3.2 (13) below. Green Card Test: The individual is a resident alien once they are issued a Permanent Resident Card, also known as a green card as a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. Lawful permanent residency continues unless revoked or determined to be abandoned. A lawful permanent resident may be treated as a nonresident alien for U.S. income tax purposes if they are both a U.S. resident alien and a resident of a foreign country under its laws. In this situation, the taxpayer would claim treatment as a resident of the foreign country under the tie-breaker rules of an income tax treaty. Substantial Presence Test: The individual is treated as a resident alien for the calendar year if they are physically present for at least: 31 days during the current calendar year; and 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current calendar year and 2 calendar years immediately before that, counting: 1) All the days of physical presence in the calendar year, 2) 1/3 of days of physical presence in the first year prior to the current calendar year, and 3) 1/6 of the number of days of physical presence in the second year prior to the current calendar year. Exceptions to the Substantial Presence Test: The following days of presence in the United States do not count for the substantial presence test: Days commuting to work in the United States from a residence in Canada or Mexico if they "commute regularly." They "commute regularly" if they commute to work in the United States on more than 75% of the workdays during a working period in the current year. Days in the United States for less than 24 hours when in transit between two places outside the United States. Days in the United States as a crew member of a foreign vessel engaged in transportation between the United States and a foreign country or a U.S. territory. Note: This exception doesn't apply if otherwise engaged in any trade or business in the United States on those days. Days they intended to leave, but couldn't leave the United States because of a medical condition or medical problem that arose while in the United States. Whether they intended to leave the United States on a particular day is determined based on all the facts and circumstances. Note: See IRM 3.21.3.42.5 for information on determining physical presence. Days the individual is an "exempt individual." Exempt Individuals for the Substantial Presence Test: An individual is an "exempt individual" if any of the following are true: An individual is temporarily present in the United States as a foreign government-related individual under an A or G visa. Exception: Excludes household staff of a foreign government-related individual present in the United States under an A-3 or G-5 visa. A teacher or trainee temporarily present in the United States under a J or Q visa. See IRM 3.21.3.3.2 (9) and IRM 3.21.3.3.2 (10) for additional information. A professional athlete temporarily present in the United States to compete in a charitable sports event. An individual is not an exempt individual as a teacher or trainee if they were exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of 2 of the 6 preceding calendar years, unless all are true: The individual was exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of 3 (or fewer) of the 6 preceding calendar years A foreign employer paid all compensation during the current year They were present in the United States as a teacher or trainee in any of the prior 6 years A foreign employer paid all compensation during each of the preceding 6 years the individual was present in the United States as a teacher or trainee. A student temporarily present in the United States under an F, J, M, or Q visa is not an exempt individual as a student in the current year if they have been exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of more than 5 calendar years unless both are true: The individual establishes that they do not intend to reside permanently in the United States. They substantially complied with the requirements of their visa. Closer Connection Exception: Individuals who meet the substantial presence test may still be treated as nonresident aliens if all of the following are true: They are present in the United States for fewer than 183 days during the current calendar year They maintain a tax home in a foreign country during the year They have a closer connection to that country than to the United States They timely file Form 8840, Closer Connection Exception Statement for Aliens, claiming to have a closer connection to a foreign country or countries. Note: An individual may not claim a closer connection to a foreign country if they have applied for status as a lawful permanent resident of the United States or have an application pending for adjustment of status. Some tax treaties provide special rules for determining residency. First-Year Choice: A foreign individual who does not meet the green card test or the substantial presence test may be treated as a resident alien for part of a calendar year by making the First-Year Choice. Married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien: A foreign individual who does not meet the green card test or substantial presence test may be able to choose to be treated as a resident alien if the individual is a nonresident alien married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the individual and their spouse may be able to make a joint election under IRC 6013(g) or (h). Individuals from a U.S. Territory: American Samoa, see IRM 3.21.3.75. Guam, see IRM 3.21.3.76. Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, see IRM 3.21.3.77. U.S. Virgin Islands, see IRM 3.21.3.78. Puerto Rico, see IRM 3.21.3.79. Effectively Connected Income: Nonresident aliens are taxed on both: U.S. source income if the U.S. tax due has not been fully withheld Income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Tax Treaties: The U.S. has income tax treaties with a number of countries. Under these treaties, nonresident aliens who are residents of the foreign country may be taxed at a reduced rate or exempt from U.S. income taxes on certain types of income from sources in the United States. An individual is a resident of a foreign country under an income tax treaty if they are treated as a resident under the domestic laws of that country for income tax purposes. Some treaties include requirements beyond citizenship to establish residency for treaty purposes, such as physical presence within the purported residence country. See IRM 3.21.3.82.7 for more information about tax treaties. Dual-Status Taxpayers: An individual who is both a resident alien and nonresident alien in the United States within the same tax year. This usually occurs in the year the taxpayer arrived in or departed from the United States. The taxpayer will submit both Form 1040 and Form 1040-NR with Dual-Status Return written across the top of the return for the tax year. The form filed as the return is based on the taxpayer's residence on the last day of the year. If the individual is a resident of the U.S. on the last day of the tax year, they will file Form 1040 with a statement attached (such as a Form 1040-NR) for the portion of the year that they were a nonresident alien. If the individual is not a resident of the U.S. on the last day of the tax year, they will file Form 1040-NR with a statement attached (such as a Form 1040) for the portion of the year they were a resident alien. U.S. Citizens and U.S. Resident Aliens Living Abroad Who Qualify for the IRC 911 Foreign Earned Income Exclusion: A taxpayer who meets the specific requirements of IRC 911(b)(2)(D) may claim an exclusion of foreign earned income up to the maximum allowed for the tax year and either the housing exclusion or the housing deduction if the taxpayer has a tax home in a foreign country or countries and the taxpayer is one or more of the following: A U.S. citizen who has been a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period (regardless of physical presence) that includes an entire taxable year A U.S. resident alien who is a citizen or national of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty with an applicable nondiscrimination clause, and who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire year A U.S. resident alien who has been physically present in a foreign country or countries for 330 days during a period of 12 consecutive months 3.21.3.3.3 (01-01-2021) Visas Overview A U.S. visa allows a foreigner to live permanently in the United States (immigrant visa) or travel to the United States on a temporary basis for specific purposes and periods of time (nonimmigrant visa). See Exhibit 3.21.3-8 for a list of nonimmigrant visa types. Most, but not all, nonimmigrant visa holders are taxed as nonresident aliens. A nonresident alien is taxed on all United States source income and on all income that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Unlike U.S. citizens, nonresident aliens are not taxed on non-effectively connected foreign source income. Resident aliens are generally taxed on worldwide income, like U.S. citizens. 3.21.3.3.4 (01-01-2023) U.S. Income Reporting Requirements Overview United States citizens and resident aliens: They are generally required to file Form 1040 and must report 100% of their worldwide income. Worldwide income is income from ALL sources, including foreign and U.S. income reported on Form 1040, lines 1 through 7 and Schedule 1, lines 1 through 9. For information on identifying resident aliens, see IRM 3.21.3.3.2, International Filers Overview. Nonresident Aliens: They are generally required to file Form 1040-NR to report only: U.S. source income, if the amount of tax withheld didn't satisfy the tax due Income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business A nonresident alien not otherwise engaged in a U.S. trade or business is not required to report U.S. source income that was withheld properly at the source or any foreign source income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, but may file to claim a refund for overpaid taxes. Generally, income received from U.S. payers constitutes U.S. source income. Income received from foreign payers may also constitute U.S. source income in certain circumstances, such as income received for services performed in the U.S. or income received for the use of intangibles in the U.S. Exception: U.S. tax laws exempt nonresident aliens from U.S. taxation on interest earned on certain deposits, which are not effectively connected with a trade or business. U.S. source income is reported on Form 1042-S, Form W-2, Form SSA-1042S, Form RRB-1042S, Form 1099 series, Form 8805, Form 8288-A, or a statement of income. U.S. source income which is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business is generally taxed at 30% unless a tax treaty exists between the U.S. and the taxpayer's foreign country of residence that either reduces the rate or exempts the income. When Scholarship/Fellowship grant income is paid to a nonresident alien from a country that does not have a tax treaty with the United States: It is not exempted. It is reported on Form 1042-S and attached to the return, if paid by a U.S. payor. It must be reported on Schedule 1, line 8r. If the individual is a "degree candidate," amounts paid to a qualified educational institution for tuition and education related expenses (such as fees, books, supplies, and equipment) may be omitted from Schedule 1, line 8r, so that only part of the scholarship is reported. If the individual is not a "degree candidate," the full amount of the scholarship or fellowship is generally taxable. When Scholarship/Fellowship grant income is paid to a resident alien (because of the substantial presence test) or nonresident alien who was a resident of a tax treaty country immediately before coming to the U.S. to study: It may be fully or partly excluded under a tax treaty. It is reported on Form 1042-S and attached to the return, if paid by a U.S. payor. It must be reported on Schedule 1, line 8r, if taxable, or on Form 1040-NR, line 1k, if exempt by treaty. Schedule OI, Question "L," must be answered. The validity of the tax treaty benefit claimed must be verified. 3.21.3.3.5 (01-01-2023) Form 1040 with Schedule 1 and Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ Attached For processing instructions, see IRM 3.21.3.42 Form 2555 is valid for all tax years. Form 2555-EZ is valid for TY18 and prior. Form 2555 must be attached if any of the following indicators are on Form 1040 or Schedule 1: IRC 911 exclusion Notation of Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ Foreign Housing Exclusion on Schedule 1, line 8d Foreign Earned Income Exclusion on Schedule 1, line 8d Foreign Housing Deduction on Schedule 1, line 24j A taxpayer with foreign earned income is entitled to claim the following on Form 2555: Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Part VII and VIII), and/or Housing Deduction, if housing is paid for with earnings from self-employment (Parts VI and IX), or Housing Exclusion, if housing is paid for with employer-provided amounts, such as wages, housing allowance, etc.(Parts VI and VIII). A U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien living and working in a foreign country may use Form 2555 to: Exclude a limited amount of their foreign earned income. For TY 2022, this amount is $112,000. See IRM 3.21.3.85.3.2.4 (1) for prior year amounts. Claim a housing exclusion or deduction. For TY18 and prior, a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien living and working in a foreign country may use Form 2555-EZ if: They have earned wages/salaries in a foreign country below the maximum allowable for the year. See IRM 3.21.3.85.3.2.5.1 (1) for prior year amounts. They did not have any income from self-employment. They did not have any business or moving expenses for the year. They are not claiming the housing exclusion or deduction. They are filing a calendar-year return that covers a 12 month period. Foreign earned income is any income earned for personal services performed in a foreign country or countries. For this purpose, a foreign country is any territory under the sovereignty of a government other than the United States. Note: It does not include U.S. territories. Unearned income may not be excluded on Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ. To avoid double taxation, foreign taxes paid on the unearned foreign income can be: Claimed as a credit on Form 1116, or Reported as a deduction on Schedule A, line 6. U.S. citizens and resident aliens living and working outside the United States are generally required to file a U.S. income tax return to report worldwide income. In general, to qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion, the foreign housing exclusion, or the foreign housing deduction under IRC 911, taxpayers must be: A U.S. citizen who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes both an entire tax year and part of the year of the return. A U.S. resident alien who is a citizen or national of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty in effect and who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes both an entire tax year and a part of the year of the return, or A U.S. citizen or resident alien who is physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 full days during any period of 12 consecutive months that includes part of the year of the return. Note: Due to additional taxpayer requirements, taxpayers may also reference the tax home test, or indicate that the exclusion was prorated based on the qualifying period. Wages paid by the U.S. government to its employees are not foreign earned income, and an individual cannot claim the foreign earned income exclusion, the foreign housing exclusion, or the foreign housing deduction on those wages. 3.21.3.3.6 (01-01-2023) U.S. Territories - General Information The following are the five key U.S. Territories: American Samoa (AS) Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Guam (GU) Puerto Rico (PR) United States Virgin Islands (USVI) Special tax rules apply to bona fide residents of these five key territories. The taxpayer must be a United States citizen or resident alien and a bona fide resident of one of AS, CNMI, GU, PR, or the USVI. A bona fide resident of one of these territories is an individual taxpayer who: Does not have a tax home outside the relevant territory. Does not have a closer connection to the United States or to a foreign country. Meets the presence test. To satisfy the presence test for the entire year, the taxpayer must meet ONE of the conditions in the table below. Bona Fide Residence Presence Test for United States Territories Present in the relevant territory for at least 183 days during the tax year. Present in the relevant territory for at least 549 days during the three-year period consisting of the current taxable year and the preceding two tax years, provided the taxpayer was also present in the territory for at least 60 days during each tax year of the three-year period. Present in the United States for no more than 90 days during the tax year. Earned income (pay for personal services performed, such as wages, salaries or professional fees) from the United States of no more than $3,000.00 and was present for more days in the territory than the U.S. during the tax year. No significant connection to the U.S. during the tax year. Significant connections include a permanent home, voter registration, or spouse/minor child in the United States. Note: It is often difficult to determine bona fide residency based on the test above. Therefore, for purpose of processing income tax returns, if the only address on the return or attachments (including Form W-2 type statements) is that of a territory, treat as an indication that the taxpayer is a bona fide resident of that territory. Taxpayers who reside in any U.S. territory are generally not entitled to claim Earned Income Credit (EIC). See IRM 3.21.3.15.1.30. U.S. Service Members / Military Personnel: A service member's "state of legal residence" generally determines their residency for tax purposes. For non-tax purposes, U.S. service members have two types of "residency" : "home of record" and "state of legal residence." A service member's "home of record" is the state where they joined the military and it is used to determine certain military benefits (for example, travel allowance back to the state when leaving the military). A service member's "state of legal residence" is their permanent home, the state where they intend to live after leaving the military. All service members declare their state of legal residence with the Department of Defense or equivalent. Under the Service members Civil Relief Act of 2003 (SCRA), if a service member qualifies as a bona fide resident of a U.S. Territory in an earlier tax year, their absence from that territory during the current tax year in compliance with military orders will not affect their status as a bona fide resident. Similarly, being in a territory solely in compliance with military orders will not qualify a service member for bona fide residency status in that territory. Service Members Civilian Spouses / Military Spouses: In accordance with Military Spouses Residency Relief Act of 2009 (MSRRA), civilian spouses of active duty U.S. Service Members can choose to keep their prior residence or domicile for tax purposes. Under the MSRRA, if civilian spouses qualify as bona fide residents of a U.S. territory in an earlier tax year, their absence from that territory during the current year when accompanying the service member spouse who is relocating under military orders will not affect the civilian spouse's status as a bona fide resident. Similarly, being in a territory solely to accompany the service member in compliance with military orders will not qualify the civilian spouse for bona fide resident status in that territory. For additional guidance on when and how MSRRA applies to civilian spouses who are working in or claiming tax residency in a U.S. territory, see Notice 2010-30, Notice 2011-16 and Notice 2012-41. 3.21.3.4 (03-04-2022) Control of International Returns Unnumbered returns are batched according to the type of return. The type of return determines the File Location Code (FLC) where like returns are batched together for processing under a certain program code. International Returns will be assigned the following FLCs: FLC 20 will be assigned to any Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, Form 1040A (TY17 and prior), or Form 1040EZ (TY17 and prior) with any International criteria other than U.S. territories, including Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ (TY18 and prior), and Form 1040-NR or Form 1040-NR-EZ (TY19 and prior). FLC 21 will be assigned to any Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS. FLC 21 will be assigned to any Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, Form 1040A (TY17 and prior), or Form 1040EZ (TY17 and prior) with any U.S. territory criteria as follows: Territory address in the caption area IRC 931 IRC 932 IRC 933 IRC 934 IRC 935 Form W-2AS, Form W-2GU, Form W-2VI, Form W-2CM, 499R-2/W-2PR Form 4563 Form 5074 Form 8689 Form 8898 Exception: All returns that have a valid Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ (TY18 and prior) must be blocked under FLC 20.

A misblocked return is a return found in a block with a different type of work. Rebatch returns that are blocked in the wrong FLC. Note: All returns that have a valid Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ (TY18 and prior) must be blocked under FLC 20. If the return is unnumbered, code and edit the return and slot it into the appropriate program. If the return is numbered, edit Action Code "610" and attach Form 4227 with instructions "re-sort to FLC 20" or"re-sort to FLC 21," as appropriate. Note: Rebatch if a Domestic return has been numbered as International. 3.21.3.4.2 (01-04-2021) Uncomputed Returns An uncomputed return is one filed by a taxpayer who expects the IRS to compute their tax. Do not confuse an uncomputed return with a return where the taxpayer has computed no tax due. An uncomputed return can be identified when: Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR has no entries on Lines 16, 17, 18, 22, 24, 34, 35a, 36, and 37. Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS has no entries on lines 6, 13, 14a, 15, and 16. 3.21.3.5 (01-04-2021) General Instructions for All International Forms The general instructions for all International returns are provided here. The general instructions in this section include: Stamping Tax Examiner (TE) numbers Action Trails Attachments Detached Documents Use Form 1040 instructions when processing Form 1040-SR, 1040(SP), and 1040-SR(SP) Form 1040A and Form 1040EZ are historical and must be converted to Form 1040.

Follow No Reply instructions. See IRM 3.21.3.6.4. A correspondence action sheet (CAS) is a form used to generate a letter requesting information from a taxpayer. A CAS is used with a return that is not sent back to the taxpayer. The following CAS forms are used: Form 13900 is used to generate 4087C letters (International and Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures returns). See Exhibit 3.21.3-15. Form 13975 is used to generate 2894C letter for Form 1040-SS and 2894SP letter for Form 1040-PR (International returns). See Exhibit 3.21.3-16. Form 3696-A is used to generate miscellaneous Correspondex (C) letters (e.g., Letter 369C used to deny reasonable cause). Prepare Form 13900 (Letter 4087C) or Form 13975 (Letter 2894C/Letter 2894SP) using the following steps: Write legibly. Check all appropriate boxes.

If the received date is determined to be incorrect, delete it and edit a new received date following instructions in IRM 3.21.3.8.1 (1).

If the postmark date is "041822" or earlier, circle the received date and edit the postmark date as the new received date. ALWAYS review each return for the words, "Returned for Signature" or similar statement and a date present in the lower left corner of the return. These are returns that were originally received missing a signature and were mailed back to the taxpayer. If a date and the notation "Returned for Signature" or similar statement is present, refer to the following instructions for editing the received date: If the return is Balance Due and a received date is present showing a date within 30 days after the date present in the lower left corner, use the date sent back for signature as the received date. Delete any other received date(s) that may be present. If the return is Balance Due and a received date is present showing a date MORE than 30 days after the date present in the lower left corner, honor the latest received date. Delete any earlier received date(s) that may be present. If the return is a Refund, Credit Elect or Zero-balance return, honor the latest received date. Delete any earlier received date(s) that may be present. Exception: For statute returns only, if a received date is present showing a date within 30 days of the Returned for Signature date, circle out the latest received date and edit the earlier received date.

Form 1040-SS and Form 1040-PR: Edit RPC "L" if there are no significant T-line entries present or edited from attachments on line 3 through 16. Computer-generated returns are identified by a three-alpha character software code in the bottom margin of page 1 or 2 of Form 1040 or Form 1040-NR, or page 1, 2, 3, or 4 of Form 1040-SR, Form 1040-SS, or Form 1040-PR. Edit RPC "V" when the tax return is computer generated. Also, edit SPC "Y" if FFF (separate from the software code) is present in the bottom margin. Exception: Do not edit RPC "V" or SPC "Y" if the return is a prior year return, or there is an indication the return was prepared by Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) or Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) (e.g., the presence of an "S" within the P-TIN field). For TY19 and TY20 returns identified as Economic Impact Payment (EIP) returns, no special processing is required. Disregard any notations of EIP on the return, and process per current instructions. If the return contains page 1 from Form 1040 and page 2 from Form 1040-NR or vice-versa: Convert and process as Form 1040-NR unless Schedule OI is attached and the taxpayer indicates presence in the U.S. for 365 or 366 days. If the taxpayer indicates presence in the U.S. for 365 or 366 days, then convert and process return as Form 1040. All amounts are to be reported in U.S. currency only. If amounts are reported in foreign currency, give the return to the workleader, who will convert any amounts reported in foreign currency to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate table appropriate for the tax period of the filer's return. See https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/reports-statements/treasury-reporting-rates-exchange/historical.html and use December rates for the tax year of the return. Divide the foreign currency amount by the exchange rate. For early-filed returns, such as gambling: Edit Action Code "480" , Edit the tax period in YYMM format, and Edit the received date if not present. Some situations will require special editing procedures. Examine the return for indications of these conditions. Edit these returns using instructions in IRM 3.11.3.6, Special Situations and Returns, unless otherwise instructed in line-by-line instructions in IRM 3.21.3: Special Situations IRM Reference Combat Zone and other Military Operations IRM 3.11.3.6.1.1 Examination Cases IRM 3.11.3.6.1.5 Fiduciary Relationship (Minor Child, POA) IRM 3.11.3.11 Frivolous Filer/Non-Filer Returns Note: Any return with a 1099-OID should be treated as frivolous.

The 2012 Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures is a legacy procedure no longer available to taxpayers. Effective July 1, 2014, returns submitted under the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures are tracked using: Programs 46117 for Form 1040, Form 1040A (TY17 and prior), and Form 1040EZ (TY17 and prior) Blocking series from 850 - 899 Treat as Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures if any are present: Notation of "Streamlined Foreign Offshore" Notation of "Streamlined Domestic Offshore" Package of returns addressed to Mail Stop 6063 AUSC Taxpayer mentions the "Streamlined" procedures in an attached letter If a package contains a mixture of Form 1040, Form 1040A (TY17 and prior) and/or Form 1040EZ (TY17 and prior), convert to Form 1040. If a package contains a mixture of Form 1040-NR and Form 1040-NR-EZ (TY19 and prior), convert to Form 1040-NR. Returns postmarked on or after July 1, 2014 will follow the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures processing instructions as outlined at IRM 3.21.3.9.1.1. Submissions consisting only of Form 1040-NR are not processed using Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures. Forms 1040-NR must have been reviewed by LB&I per IRM 3.21.3.9.1.1 LB&I will indicate this by leaving an action trail in the left margin. Streamlined packages may contain a mixture of Form 1040, Form 1040-NR, and Dual Status returns. Fully code all returns. Tag Forms 1040-NR for rebatch with a purple rebatch tag. Mark the Streamlined 1040-NR box. Edit action trail "Streamlined Package Complete" in the left margin on each return in the package. Note: If the Form 1040 is the controlling document in a Dual Status return, do not tag the return for rebatching. Unless otherwise instructed, it is important that all returns submitted by a taxpayer be kept together. Streamlined packages tagged for rebatching will require special handling. Forms 1040-NR will be rebatched into appropriate programs. All program transmittals and returns must stay together through the remainder of the pipeline process. If Letter 4087C and/or an explanation stating that the taxpayer is responding to a 4087C is attached, or if there is an envelope addressed to MS 6126, treat as a "reply to Streamlined correspondence." Route the uncoded package to Rejects using the yellow Streamlined tag. Exception: Do not route to Rejects if a notation "Process as Original" or "PAO" is present on the return. All returns submitted under the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures must have a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). If a return submitted to the Streamlined Procedures is received without a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), search the package for a valid TIN. If no TIN is found, route the uncoded package to Entity Control for an IRSN using yellow Streamlined tag. Reminder: An IRSN must be assigned before the package can be routed to Statute. The assignment of an IRSN to a submission made by a taxpayer required to use an SSN does not constitute waiver by the IRS of the eligibility requirements for the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures. Any Streamlined package that contains any return marked amended/duplicate/copy or indication of Copy to ICT submitted under this procedure should be routed uncoded to LB&I at MS 4305 AUSC using yellow Streamlined tag. Note: If the Certification Form 14653 or Form 14654 is marked "Amended" , then the Streamlined package must be reviewed by LB&I before processing. If an amended certification form is attached to an amended return, and there isn’t an indication of prior LB&I review, then route the package to MS 4305 AUSC using yellow Streamlined tag. Note: LB&I will review the returns and determine the actions that need to be taken by Submission Processing. Follow the directives provided by LB&I when the return is received back from LB&I review. LB&I will make the notations in the lower left margin. Note: If a statute year Form 1040X without an "AM Streamlined Cover sheet" attached has not been cleared by Statute, route the entire package uncoded to LB&I at MS 4305 AUSC using yellow Streamlined tag. If a return in the package requires Statute Clearance, route the entire uncoded package to Statute using yellow Streamlined tag. Exception: Statute year Forms 1040X received with an "AM Streamlined Cover sheet" already attached do not need to be routed to Statute. When the Attachment Guide requires routing the actual return to another department (e.g., Collections, Exam), route to LB&I MS 4305 AUSC by attaching the yellow Streamlined tag to the uncoded package, checking the "other" box, and writing the reason for routing to LB&I. When the Attachment Guide requires research, route to LB&I MS 4305 AUSC by attaching the yellow Streamlined tag to the uncoded package, checking the "other" box, and writing the reason for routing to LB&I. When attachments are received separated from returns (FBARs, certifications, correspondence, etc.), attach them to corresponding tax years. If the attachment does not correspond to a tax year, attach to the latest Streamlined tax year. Exception: If original BMF forms are listed on the certification, route entire package to LB&I at MS 4305 AUSC. Otherwise, route BMF forms to R&C and leave action trail on related tax year (if any). Follow local procedures for completing and routing Forms 1040X with an Accounts Management cover sheet. 3.21.3.9.1.1 (01-01-2021) 2014 Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures Review all instructions in IRM 3.21.3.9.1 prior to processing with Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures. All Streamlined returns should be coded with SPC "P" . When a complete Streamlined package is received, edit: CCC "M" CCC "P" CCC "R" Note: Do not edit CCC "N" if editing CCC "M" , CCC "P" , and CCC "R" . Caution: Do NOT edit CCC "M" , CCC "P," and CCC "R" if corresponding for a Streamlined issue such as the certification. If CCC "M" , CCC "P" , and CCC "R" are not edited, see IRM 3.21.3.8.4 for CCC "N" instructions. The instructions for editing CCC "7" on Streamlined returns will not apply if the return has CCC "M" , CCC "P" , and CCC "R" edited. Follow normal coding instructions as outlined in IRM 3.21.3 and IRM 3.11.3. If the package is incomplete, see IRM 3.21.3.9.1.2. Once it has been determined that a Streamlined Package is complete: If a copy of the certification is not attached to each tax year in the package, photocopy and attach. If the taxpayer provides an explanation on a separate statement, the statement must also be copied and attached to the return. Note: Use pink tag to indicate the number of copies and which returns need copies. Once all returns have a photocopy of the certification, detach the certification with the original signature. Route this original certification to LB&I at MS 4305, using blue routing tag. If a package contains Form(s) 1040X AND the certification is complete with all tax years: A copy of the certification MUST be attached to each Form 1040X. Edit an action trail "Streamlined Package Complete" in the left margin on each return in the package. Separate the Form(s) 1040X. Place an Accounts Management cover sheet on each Form 1040X. Route to Accounts Management using blue routing tag. Keep the Form(s) 1040X together if there are multiple forms Exception: If Streamlined correspondence is required, follow IRM 3.21.3.9.1.2 (2). 3.21.3.9.1.2 (04-26-2022) Correspondence for 2014 Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures If the items below are not submitted with a new Streamlined package, correspond: Items required for a complete Streamlined Foreign Offshore filing: - Original signature(s) of the taxpayer(s) under a jurat on at least one Certification.

Note: If the taxpayer submits Streamlined package with Form 14438 questionnaire instead of a certification, correspond using paragraph "E" instructing the taxpayer to follow current Streamlined procedures. Note: A substitute certification form is acceptable as long as it contains all of the relevant information listed above including a signature under a jurat. Correspond if missing. If any Streamlined correspondence is required, follow the instructions below: Use Form 13900 and only correspond on one tax year. Use Action Code "215" on each return, except Form 1040X.

One taxpayer is a nonresident alien and the other is a United States citizen or resident and they do not both choose to be treated as United States residents. If one taxpayer is a nonresident alien, the following rules apply to community income. Earned income of a spouse, other than trade or business income and a partner’s distributive share of partnership income, is treated as the income of the taxpayer whose services produced the income. That taxpayer must report all of it on a separate tax return. Trade or business income, other than a partner distributive share of partnership income, is treated as the income of the person who exercises substantially all of the management and control over the trade or business. That taxpayer must report all of it on a separate return. Partnership income (or loss). A partner distributive share of partnership income is treated as the income (or loss) of the partner. The partner must report all of it on a separate return. Income derived from the separate property of one taxpayer (and which is not earned income, trade or business income, or partnership distributive share income) is treated as the income of that taxpayer. That taxpayer must report all of it on a separate return. Use the appropriate community property law to determine what is separate property. Note: Income can no longer be split under Community Property provisions. All other community income is treated as provided by the applicable community property laws. 3.21.3.10 (01-01-2019) Decedent Return For ALL international returns, see IRM 3.11.3.10 - 3.11.3.10.6.

Three-line address containing Name, House Number and Street Name, City, State and ZIP Code. Exception: Some areas in Puerto Rico do not have street names or repetitive house numbers. The urbanization name substitutes as the street name and becomes the primary identifier. Example: Name, House Number and Urbanization Name, City, State and ZIP Code. Public Housing Projects (residenciales) without street names or repetitive apartment numbers. In these cases, the apartment number is the primary number and the public housing project becomes the street name. Example: Name, Apartment Number and Residential Name, City, State and ZIP Code. Apartment Buildings and Condominiums with a physical (street) address containing Name, Building Name, Street Number Apartment Number, City, State and ZIP Code. Buildings without a physical address. Certain Condominiums are located on an unnamed street and may not have an assigned number. The name of the Condominium substitutes as the street name and the number 1 is used when no building number exists. Urbanization - denotes an area, sector or residential development within a geographic area. Commonly used in Puerto Rico urban areas, it is an important part of the addressing format, as it describes the location of a specific street. In Puerto Rico, identical street names and address number ranges can be found within the same ZIP Code. In these cases, the urbanization name is the only element that correctly identifies the location of a particular address. Generally, the abbreviation URB is placed before the urbanization name.

Reminder: If combining Forms 2555 or Form 2555-EZ (TY18 and prior), edit the POD for the Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ with the most income on Form 2555, line 26 or Form 2555-EZ, line 17. If the country in which the foreign income is earned is not listed in the POD Table, edit POD Code "XX" . If you cannot determine the POD after using instructions in IRM 3.21.3.42.4 (3) above, edit POD Code "XX" . 3.21.3.42.5 (01-01-2023) Determining Bona Fide Residence and Physical Presence Dates A U.S. citizen is considered a bona fide resident of a foreign country if his tax home has been in that foreign country for an uninterrupted period of time which includes a full calendar year and part of the tax year of the return. Before editing bona fide dates for restricted countries (Cuba, Iraq and Libya), see IRM 3.21.3.42.5 (3). Note: Waiver of minimum time requirements - the minimum time requirements for bona fide residence and physical presence can be waived if the taxpayer must leave a foreign country because of war, civil unrest, or similar adverse conditions in that country. The following are the only countries that can claim a waiver for 2022: Country Date of Departure on or after Note: Edit dates to cover a full calendar year using the dates provided by the taxpayer, if available. Otherwise, use the tax year of the return to determine the applicable dates. To qualify for bona fide residence, the taxpayer must reside in a foreign country for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year and includes part of the tax year of the return. Note: An entire tax year is from January 1 through December 31 for taxpayers who file their income tax returns on a calendar year basis. Example: For TY22, the taxpayer enters bona fide dates of 11/01/2021 to 01/15/2023. The taxpayer completed an uninterrupted period of residence for a full tax year (2022) and therefore meets the bona fide residence test. The taxpayer would also qualify for tax years 2021 and 2023. Example: For TY22, the taxpayer enters bona fide dates of 10/01/2021 to 11/30/2022. The taxpayer did not complete an uninterrupted period of residence for a full tax year (2021 or 2022) and therefore does not meet the bona fide residence test in either year, but qualifies for physical presence. A taxpayer living and working in a restricted country cannot claim the benefits under "IRC 911" : Caution: If the taxpayer meets either bona fide residence or physical presence, but the beginning date was within the restricted period, edit qualifying dates based on the end of the restriction. Restricted Country Beginning Date Ending Date Cuba Exception: If a non-military taxpayer files a Form 1040 with a Form 2555 exclusion from United States Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, allow the exclusion.

On a TY22 return, if the dates are missing or don't meet either the bona fide residence or physical presence test, and one of the following notations is present: Adverse conditions or Could not meet 330-day requirement for physical presence due to an emergency (e.g., medical condition or travel restrictions), Then allow the foreign earned income exclusion, and edit the physical presence dates provided. If dates are missing, edit dates for the calendar year (beginning date of "2201" and ending date of "2212" ).

Bona fide residents of American Samoa are generally exempt from United States tax on their American Samoa source income. United States Armed Forces: Bona fide residents of American Samoa include military personnel whose official home of record (i.e., SLR) is American Samoa. 3.21.3.75.1 (01-01-2023) American Samoa (AS) - Filing Requirements Overview Generally, returns will be filed with both American Samoa and the United States. The income reported on each return depends on the taxpayer’s residency status in American Samoa. If the taxpayer is a bona fide resident of AS and a United States citizen, resident, or nonresident alien during the entire year, they may need to file two returns: An AS tax return. A U.S. tax return reporting gross worldwide income except income from sources within American Samoa (IRC 931). Form 4563 may be attached. A taxpayer does not have a United States income tax filing obligation if both are true: The taxpayer is a bona fide resident of American Samoa. The taxpayer only has income derived from sources in American Samoa. Exception: Income received for services performed as an employee of the United States government or any of its agencies cannot be excluded from the United States tax return. If the United States government wages are reported on both the United States and AS tax returns, Form 1116 can be attached to the United States tax return to claim a credit for the taxes paid to AS. If the taxpayer is not a bona fide resident of AS during the entire tax year and they are a United States citizen or resident alien, they may need to file two returns: An AS tax return. A U.S. tax return to report income from worldwide sources. Form 1116 can be used to claim a credit for income paid to American Samoa on American Samoa source income subject to double taxation for income taxes paid. Exception: Nonresident aliens report only U.S. source and U.S. effectively connected income. If the taxpayer is not a bona fide resident of AS during the entire tax year and they are a nonresident alien, they may need to file two returns: An AS tax return. A U.S. tax return reporting income from U.S. sources. 3.21.3.75.1.1 (01-01-2021) Processing Form 1040 With Income or Address From American Samoa If the only source of income is from a Form W-2AS AND there is an indication that the taxpayer is a bona fide resident: Correspond by preparing Form 3696-A to initiate Letter 86C, which informs the taxpayer that their return has been transshipped to the Tax Division Government of American Samoa for processing. Exception: Do not prepare Form 3696-A for photocopied returns with a U.S. Territory received date. Attach Form 3696-A to the tax return and route it to the ERS clerical unit. The ERS clerical unit will issue Letter 86C and transship the tax return to: American Samoa Tax Office Executive Office Building First Floor Pago Pago, AS 96799 Note: For numbered returns, edit Action Code "640" , attach Form 4227, and notate "transship to American Samoa for processing" . If there is no indication that the taxpayer is a bona fide resident of American Samoa, continue processing the return. Taxpayers who reside outside the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia generally are not entitled to claim EIC. If the taxpayer is not claiming EIC, edit RPC "B" . If the taxpayer is claiming EIC, see IRM 3.21.3.15.1.30. Caution: If the taxpayer is not a bona fide resident of the U.S. territory and is U.S. Military personnel, the taxpayer is considered a resident of the U.S. for the entire year and may be able to claim EIC. "X" any amount claimed for Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) on line 28, unless you can determine the taxpayer is U.S. military personnel. See IRM 3.21.3.15.1.31.

Note: Consider all Forms W-2 submitted when verifying the withholding. For additional information on bona fide residence rules, military personnel, and military spouses, see IRM 3.21.3.3.6. 3.21.3.75.1.2 (01-01-2023) Form 1040 With Form 4563 - Exclusion of Income For Bona Fide Residents of American Samoa Under IRC 931 Form 4563 is not transcribed. Do not perfect Form 4563. For TY18 and prior, "X" Form 4563 when it is attached.
