-
Information is provided below on the forms to use when requesting research about employers or organizations.
-
All requests for information must be approved except the research performed by processing personnel in the Closing Function and Campus Examination Branch processing functions when the research is done only to secure information necessary to process EP, EO, GE and Appeals adjustments.
-
Form 5644 is used to get information about returns that are on AIMS and IDRS. A great deal of information is available on the data base. The following is a partial list by CC:
-
AMDIS and AMDISA print a display of the information on the AIMS file.
-
TXMOD (with a definer) prints the same information from MF that a transcript does. However, a TXMOD is not always available for EP, EO or GE returns. TXMOD also includes pending transactions.
-
ENMOD prints an employer’s/organization’s name and address that is pending at the servicing campus or posted at MF. This information is the same as that shown on AIMS.
-
BMFOL displays BMF data including the organization’s address and should be used to obtain the latest entity information or for a cross-referenced EIN. Pending transactions are not displayed on BMFOL.
-
EMFOL displays EPMF data including employer’s address and should be used to obtain the latest entity information or for a cross-referenced EIN. Pending transactions are not displayed on EMFOL.
-
BRTVU provides access to the line items transcribed from Form 940, Form 941, Form 942, Form 1065 or Form 1120 and their accompanying schedules as the returns are processed at the campus for returns filed for the current year and the two previous years. CC BRTVU displays transcribed lines as reflected on the original return, reflects all returns processed during the processing year regardless of the tax period, displays delinquent and amended returns in the format of the year processed and shows computer-generated fields. BRTVU is not updated to reflect any subsequent adjustments or duplicate return data. Therefore, a current transcript of account, BMFOL print, must be attached to the BRTVU print when examining a return.
-
ERTVU provide access to the line items transcribed from the Form 5500 Series Returns and their accompanying schedules as the returns are processed at the campus for returns filed for the current year and the two previous years. CC ERTVU displays transcribed and edited information, edit sheet information, calculated amounts, correspondence indicators and accompanying schedules. ERTVU is not updated to reflect any adjustments, or duplicate return data. Therefore, a current transcripts of account, EMFOL print, must be attached to the ERTVU print when examining a return.
-
-
AIMS research can be done by telephone, in emergency situations. The case file must be documented to show managerial approval. A completed Form 5644 can be used as documentation. Instructions for preparing Form 5644 are in See Exhibit 4.5.1-15.
-
If the response received is "No Record Available," researching NMF is advised (EIN followed by an "N" ). If AIMS reflects a PICF code of 1 - 8, additional information is available on the PCS data base. Research using TSINQ by completing Form 8337, Key Case/investor Inquiry or Form 8623, PCS Summary. For summarized research use CC TSUMY.
-
Place Form 5644, along with the requested print(s), in the corresponding case file(s)..
-
Disposition of Form 5644 - The requested information will be recorded on the form or attached to the form. Form 5644 remains in the case file until the case closes.
-
Form 6882 is used to secure information about returns that are on IMF/BMF/EPMF. Information about MRS can be found in Doc. 6209, ADP and IDRS Information.
-
The Business Master File On-Line (BMFOL) provides research of nationwide entity and tax data posted to the BMF. BMFOL allows expanded research capability when routine IDRS research (e.g., SUMRY or TXMOD) results in " No Data Available." It should be used in lieu of MFTRA , where possible. BMFOL displays an Index Summary of tax modules, showing the tax year available. The screen contains nationwide information including entity, posted return, general tax data, status history, vestigial, adjustment, and audit history data for a specific TIN.
-
The Employee Plans Master File On-Line (EMFOL) provides research of nationwide entity and tax data posted to the EPMF. EMFOL allows expanded research capability when routine IDRS research (e.g., SUMRY or TXMOD) results in "No Data Available." It should be used in lieu of MFTRA where possible. EMFOL definer "I" displays an Index Summary of tax modules, showing the tax years available. The screen contains nationwide information including plan number, tax period, posting status, Campus code, return status code (EFAST), schedules and plan first name for a specific EIN.
-
Master File View (MFVUE) and Return View (RTVUE) provides on-line research of MF account and return data. Since MF does not carry all information available on the IDRS screen displays (IDRS notice status, case control information, pending transactions, etc.), it is imperative that IDRS research be initiated before accessing MF information via MFVUE or RTVUE. Also, IDRS input CCs that will cause a change to the MF data cannot be preceded by MFVUE or RTVUE.
-
These CCs should be used to research entity and/or tax data which may not be available on IDRS. In most cases, the response will appear on the screen in five seconds or less. This will negate the need for MFTRA transcripts or the need to secure hard copies of tax returns in some cases.
-
MFVUE accesses the IMF/BMF and allows several screen displays based on an input definer. These will include:
-
An index screen which shows whether a specific tax period is available on-line or not. The index screen also includes a "balance" due field showing if the account is in debit, credit, or zero balance.
-
A screen which shows entity information, similar to INOLE.
-
A screen which has specific data from the tax account, similar to TXMOD and MFTRA.
-
A screen titled "IMF Adjustment Transaction Screen" which includes detailed information about adjustment transactions input.
-
A screen which includes retention register account information.
-
A posted TC 150 return screen which displays return data that is transcribed along with computer generated fields.
-
A status history screen which includes extension to file data.
-
A help screen which displays information to assist in using RTVUE.
-
-
RTVUE accesses the Return Transaction File (RTF). It contains all edited, transcribed, and error corrected data from data entry lines of returns and related forms and schedules filed in the current processing year, including returns for two prior tax years. This CC requires a definer to access a particular screen and has an index screen.
-
When available, the use of these two CCs will be the suggested alternative to MFTRA/ESTAB requests. Examinations may be closed based on an RTVUE print. Copy of return procedures must be followed. See IRM 3.12.12, Exempt Organization Returns.
-
In general, Form 3198-A, TE/GE Special Handling Notice, is used to notify the Closing Functions of corrections needed when both AIMS and the IMF/BMF/EPMF should be corrected.
-
Form 5598, TE/GE Correction Request is used to correct AIMS only when the IMF/BMF/EPMF does not need to be corrected.
-
Corrections can be made using Form 5598 as long as the account(s) are on AIMS. Generally, an account is available for 90 days after it has closed. If the correction is to a record that has aged off of AIMS,the correction cannot be done. Instructions for preparing Form 5598 are in See Exhibit 4.5.1-16. and See Exhibit 4.5.1-17.
-
Corrections must be made at the time that the error is discovered. Responsibility for making corrections falls to the EP (BMF 5330's), EO or GE function (Group, Classification, Planning & Review, etc.), handling the account at the time the error is discovered. A maximum of twenty accounts can be corrected using the same Form 5598, if the identical corrections are being made to each of the accounts.
-
Use Form 5598 whenever:
-
An error is found on an AIMS - generated output such as a Form 5546, Examination Charge-Out, a label, a CC AMDIS/AMDISA print, etc.
-
An error is discovered during quality review of a document previously used as terminal input to AIMS
-
An error is recorded on the Ogden Campus or Detroit Computing Center error registers.
-
-
Completed forms are routed to the approving official who reviews the forms to ensure the quality and integrity of the requested action. The approving official will return an unapproved Form 5598 to the requester with a statement indicating the action that should be taken in lieu of that recorded on the correction request. The Group Manager, or their designee, of the initiator approves Form 5598 requests to correct items.
-
A correction to a closed record, Status 8X or 90, causes the Report Extraction Indicator to be reset. If the record passes all the consistency and validity checks, the corrected record will be extracted during the next report extraction period and the EO and GE tables for the business segment office will be updated with the correct information. If the correction is to a record that was closed to an Appeals Office that is outside the jurisdiction of the TE/GE campus, the AIMS data base must be backed-down to EP (BMF 5330's), EO or GE in the closing business segment office in order to input a correction.
-
Disposition of Form 5598 - Retain Form 5598 sixty days after input. Form 5598 should then be disposed of according to IRM 1.15.24, Records Control Schedule for TE/GE.
-
Activity codes should be entered on all requests for returns. When the activity code is not known, it should be estimated. If the estimated activity code of a IMF/BMF/EPMF requisitioned return is wrong, it is corrected automatically at MF and the AIMS data base will reflect the true activity code. Refer to the following for listings of valid Activity Codes:
• Doc. 6476 (EP)
• Doc. 6379 (EO)
• Doc. 11308 (GE)Exception:
Substitutes for returns and returns manually re-established from the retention register are not corrected.
"TEB Activity Code structure for 8038 series returns relates directly to the Report Number, which can not be changed. Therefore, 8038 series returns are not included in the above statement. " -
If the estimated activity code of a NMF requisitioned return is wrong, it must be corrected using Form 5598, TE/GE Correction Request. Form 5598 is also used to correct the following activity codes:
-
Substitutes for returns received with an incorrect activity code or 000.
-
Returns manually re-established on IMF/BMF/EPMF after being placed on the retention register and received with an incorrect activity code or 000. These are returns that were originally listed on the TC 424 Reject Register with reject codes 1970 or 3471.
Reminder:
The activity code should be based on the return as filed without considering any later changes made by IRS. The exception to this is that the correct activity code for a substitute for return is based on the return after examination.
-
-
The source code must reflect the reason the return was selected for examination. Thus, even if a return becomes part of a special program, the source code should not be changed. Refer to the following for valid Source Codes.
• Doc. 6476 (EP)
• Doc. 6379 (EO)
• Doc. 11308 (GE) -
When the return is requested for reference or information, managerial approval is needed before an examination of the return can be initiated. Source Code 45 must be closed using Disposal Code 45.
-
The forms used to close EPBMF 5330's, EO and GE accounts off of AIMS are as follows:
-
Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record
-
Form 5650, EP Examined Closing Record and
-
Form 5596, TE/GE Non-Examined Closing Record.
-
-
Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record, is used to close examined returns Disposal Codes (Disposal Codes 01-07, 09-11 and 13 for EP BMF 5330's, Disposal Codes 01-19, 50, and 52–53 for EO; Disposal Codes 01-19, and 50–53 for GE) and surveyed claims (Disposal Code 34) for EP, EO and GE returns closed off of AIMS at the completion of the examination. Instructions for preparing and reviewing Form 5599 are found in IRM 4.5.2.1.4. In addition, Form 5599 is used to update IMF/BMF/EPMF with assessment and closing information from a MF account. Both IMF/BMF and NMF (EO, EPand GE returns ) will be closed using Form 5599. Cases returned from Appeals for further review, must have new Form 5599 prepared as though previous closings have not taken place.
Note:
Beginning January 1, 2002, EP Form 5330's that have posted to BMF are being closed using Form 5599.
-
Forward the completed Form 5599, along with the corresponding case file, to the Group Manager (or their designee), who will review the entire file before forwarding it to the Closing Function for processing and terminal input.
-
The completed examination case file, along with the Form 5599, is forwarded to the Closing Function where it is completed, reviewed, and processed to close it off AIMS and IMF/BMF.
-
-
Returns closed with an agreed examined disposal code remain on AIMS for ninety days after being closed at the terminal or until assessment verification has been completed, whichever is longer. They are included in closing reports at the end of the month in which they are closed at the terminal. Returns closed with an unagreed examined disposal code remain on AIMS for ninety days after being closed at the terminal for the Appeals Office or until assessment verification has been completed, whichever is longer. They are included in closing reports at the end of the month in which they were closed at the terminal for the TE/GE Division.
Note:
Effective 03/28/2003, Non-Master File accounts are no longer aged off of AIMS.
-
An examined return may be re-established once it has aged off of AIMS. In some instances, however, there may be a need to re-establish a closed return before the end of the normal 90 days aging-off period. If this is the case, refer to See IRM 4.5.1.3.9.1. and See Exhibit 4.5.1-13. for instructions on re-establishing closed returns.
-
For IMF/BMF/EPMF Agreed Closings - The Closing Function attaches Form 5599 to the return, if present, after closing an agreed IMF/BMF/EPMF account at the terminal and forwards it to the Ogden Campus for refile. If local procedures require, an administrative file is retained in the Central Files area of the Closing Function for future reference.
