4.75.16  Case Closing Procedures

4.75.16.1  (05-13-2003)
Introduction

  1. This IRM contains specific procedures for exempt organization group managers and examiners on how to properly close a completed examination. It also includes guidelines for preparing the closing documents and assembling the case file.

4.75.16.2  (05-13-2003)
Pre-closing Review of Case File by Examiner

  1. The examiner should review the workpapers and reports for completeness and accuracy before closing the case to the group manager. The examiner's review should include, but not be limited to, answering the following questions.

    1. Does the report of examination and/or closing letter contain grammatical, spelling or typographical errors?

      Note:

      The examiner can usually eliminate grammatical, spelling and typographical errors just by proofreading the entire report of examination and/or closing letter after they are completed.

    2. If a Form 5666, TE/GE Referral Information Report, has been prepared for a subsequent year examination, have copies of all workpapers that would assist the subsequent examiner been attached to the Form 5666?

    3. Have all of the items in the heading of Form 5772, EO Workpaper Summary, been completed correctly?

      Reminder:

      The examiner should verify that the total hours shown on the Form 5772, EO Workpaper Summary, agree with the time on the Form 5464, Case Chronology Record; Form(s) 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record; and Form 6490, TE/GE Technical Time Report. If the Form 5772 is prepared using a workcenter, the time may be incorrect if the Form 5772 was printed before all work was completed on the case. The correct time may be annotated by hand on the Form 5772 or the time corrected in the workcenter and the Form 5772 reprinted.

      Exception:

      The disposal codes and descriptions and letter number will be entered by the reviewer in unagreed cases.

    4. Do the conclusions on the Form 5773, TEGE Workpaper Summary Continuation Sheet, agree with the conclusions in the workpapers and reports of examination or closing letter? Discrepancies between the conclusions on the Form 5773 and the conclusions in the supplemental workpapers, the report of examination, and/or closing letter can occur when an initial conclusion entered on the Form 5773 is subsequently found to be incorrect and the comments on the Form 5773 are not revised to reflect the final conclusion. Errors of this type can be easily prevented if the examiner reviews the conclusions on the Form 5773 and the conclusions in the supplemental workpapers, report of examination, and closing letter before the case is closed. If the workpapers have been printed, the corrections may be handwritten.

      Example:

      The examiner initially concluded the receipts from Clark, Inc. the corporation that published the organization's journal were unrelated business income from paid advertising. This conclusion was entered on the Form 5773 before the closing conference. At the closing conference the organization provided the examiner with additional documents proving the receipts from Clark, Inc. were royalties and therefore, were not taxable as unrelated business income. A no change letter was issued. The Form 5773 was not updated after the closing conference. Therefore, when the case was closed, the conclusions on the Form 5773 did not agree with the closing letter or the workpapers since the conclusions on the Form 5773 continue to state the receipts from the journal were unrelated business income.

      Example:

      The examiner's initial computation of unrelated business income did not include mailing expenses related to the unrelated business income. The error was discovered and the report of examination and agreement form were corrected but the examiner did not update the initial computation in the workpapers or note that it had been superseded. Therefore, the conclusions in the workpapers did not agree with the report of examination. This error may result in unnecessary time being expended by the group manager or reviewer during case reviews because he/she must determine which computation is correct.

    5. Has Form 5774, Private Foundation Workpapers, been prepared and completed correctly if applicable?

    6. Are ALL of the workpapers organized in a logical manner and indexed?

    7. Are all workpapers labeled with the taxpayer's name, title of the workpaper, the date completed and the examiner's initials?

      Exception:

      If a workpaper contains multiple pages, the label may be entered on the first page only. When the label is entered on the first page only, the total number of pages must be entered, e.g., Analysis of Entertainment Expenses, 3 pages.

    8. Are all workpapers legible?

    9. Is the purpose of and conclusions drawn from each workpaper or group of workpapers clear?

      Note:

      If copies of the taxpayer's records are secured and placed in the workpapers, it is imperative that the reason for inclusion be noted on the copies or on a coversheet preceding the copies.

      Caution:

      If original documents or copies of documents are related to an issue that may be litigated, any notations should be entered on a duplicate copy of the document made for this purpose, a workpaper, or a coversheet rather than on the original document or the original copy of the document.

    10. Have all unnecessary or duplicate workpapers been purged? The agent is responsible for disposing of any reports and/or workpapers which are no longer needed prior to submitting the case to the group manager for closing.

      Caution:

      Workpaper and reports that were provided to the taxpayer during the examination should not be purged. If the workpaper or report is changed, the original workpaper or report should be annotated in the top margin with a comment such as, "Superseded by Workpaper C14" or "Superseded by Report Dated 12/2/2003" in bold letters.

      Caution:

      If the case involves a declaratory judgment issue, the examiner should refer to IRM 4.75.32, Declaratory Judgment and Administrative Record, before defacing or destroying any original documents or copies of documents provided to the examiner by the organization.

    11. Does the Case Chronology Record reflect complete and accurate documentation of the case history including the dates follow-ups were scheduled?

    12. Have all of the group manager's actions on the case been documented in the Case Chronology Record and initialed by the group manager?

      Note:

      If the group manager's actions have been documented but have not been initialed, the examiner should flag the entries that require the group manager's initials with a post-it note or as otherwise instructed.

4.75.16.3  (05-13-2003)
Statute Control Procedures

  1. The group manager will ensure agreed cases have at least 180 days remaining on the statute of limitations and unagreed cases have 270 days remaining, when they are closed from the group.

    Note:

    All examination cases involving revocation or modification of exempt status or reclassification of foundation status are considered unagreed for statute control purposes.

  2. All cases, including related cases, submitted for technical advice must have one year remaining on the statute of limitations before being sent to EO Mandatory Review for processing.

  3. The group manager will prepare a memo providing an explanation for all cases submitted with less than the required time frames remaining on the statute of limitations and attach to the case file.

  4. All cases with less than 8 months (270 days) on the statutory period will be placed in a red folder. If the statute expiration is subsequently extended to a period greater than 8 months the case should be removed from the red folder.

  5. For any case being transferred between locations/areas, closed to EO Examinations Special Support Unit (ESS), or closed to Mandatory Review with less than 60 days remaining on the statute, the group manager must notify the receiving manager of the transfer by telephone. This should be done with the knowledge and concurrence of the respective Area Manager. The group manager will hand carry, use overnight mail, or an express delivery service to ship the case to the receiving group. The group manager will follow-up to ensure the case is received timely.

4.75.16.4  (05-13-2003)
Guidelines for Timely Closing Cases

  1. Examinations should generally be closed within the national established time-frames. Any delays or extended periods of inactivity must be adequately documented on the Case Chronology Record.

  2. The established time-frames for closing cases are as follows:

    1. Ten (10) calendar days for the examiner to close agreed or no-change examinations. The 10 days start the date the no-change determination is made, usually the date of last taxpayer contact when the examiner discusses the examination results with the taxpayer.

    2. Twenty (20) calendar days for examiner to close unagreed examinations. The 20 days start the date of final closing conference or the date a closing conference was declined.

    3. Ten (10) calendar days for the manager to initial and date the case chronology after receipt from the examiner.

  3. The case chronology should reflect the date the case is closed by the examiner and the date the manager approves the case for closing.

4.75.16.5  (05-13-2003)
Preparing AIMS Closing Documents

  1. The examiner is responsible for preparing the appropriate form to close an examination case off the Automated Information Management System (AIMS) Master File (MF) or Non-master File (NMF).

  2. The following forms are used to close EO accounts off AIMS:

    1. Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record

    2. Form 4881, Chapter 42 Taxes-Disqualified Person/Foundation Manager

    3. Form 5596, EO Non-Examined Closings

4.75.16.5.1  (05-13-2003)
Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record

  1. The Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record, is used for closing examined returns and surveyed claims off AIMS at the close of the examination. The form is used to close both master file and non-master file accounts and is also used to update the BMF, Business Master File, with assessment and closing information. The examiner is responsible for entering certain information on the Form 5599. In most cases, this requires determining the correct disposal code. Refer to Exhibit 4.75.16-1, Form 5599 - Required Entries and Instructions for Completion, for instructions on completing the Form 5599.

4.75.16.5.1.1  (05-13-2003)
Disposal Codes

  1. The examiner is generally required to determine the correct disposal code and enter the two-digit number on the appropriate line of the Form 5599. The exception is for unagreed examinations. In these cases, the Review Staff will enter the correct code. For assistance in determining the correct disposal code, examiners should refer to Document 6379, Exempt Organizations Management Information Systems Codes - Quick Reference for EO Employees. This booklet is published at the beginning of each fiscal year. Since codes may change, examiners should refer to the current version of the booklet to ensure the correct code is used.

  2. AIMS closing procedures allow for one disposal code that best describes the principal examination result. In cases involving multiple issues, the examiner should determine which one has the highest priority. A list of disposal codes by priority can be found in Document 6379.

  3. Tax change disposal codes would take precedence over disposal codes involving advisory and notification letters.

  4. Related returns being examined simultaneously will normally be considered separately and closed with the disposal code appropriate for the results of each return. The exception to this would be for an examination resulting in no changes to the primary return, but where there is an adjustment or delinquency issue associated with a related return. In this case, the appropriate disposal code for the primary return would be 04, Changes to Related Return; or 05, Delinquent Related Return Secured.

4.75.16.5.2  (05-13-2003)
Form 5596, EO Non-Examined Closings

  1. The Form 5596, EO Non-Examined Closings, is used to close non-examined BMF or NMF accounts (except surveyed claims) off AIMS. Instructions for completing the form can be found in IRM Handbook 7.3.1 Chapter 2 Exhibit 7.3.1.2-29.

    Note:

    IRM Handbook 7.3.1 Chapter 2 has been revised and will be reissued as IRM 4.5.1, TEGE AIMS Processing.

4.75.16.5.3  (05-13-2003)
Deleting AIMS Accounts

  1. In cases where an AIMS/BMF account or an AIMS/NMF account has been established in error, the examiner will use the following procedures to delete the account on the AIMS database.

    Note:

    A RICS printed return is not a filed return for purposes of these instructions. Thus, a RICS return established in error when the filed return has NOT been secured may be deleted by following these instructions.

    Caution:

    If Area has possession of the filed return, these procedures can NOT be used to delete an AIMS/BMF account. In these cases the group manager or examiner will close the AIMS account using one of the following disposal codes.

    Disposal Code Description
    31 Survey Before Assignment
    32 Survey After Assignment
    36 Survey After Initial Contact

    1. The group manager or examiner will prepare a Form 5596, TEGE Non-Examined Closing. Disposal Code 33, Error Accounts with no Returns, will be entered to delete BMF accounts and Disposal Code 99, Information Report and Miscellaneous, will be entered to delete NMF accounts.

    2. Form 10904, Request for Record Deletion from AIMS, should be prepared and approved by the Area Manager. If the account is in status 12 or above, the examiner should include a statement regarding taxpayer contact on Form 10904.

  2. If contact has been made with the taxpayer, the examiner will prepare a letter advising the taxpayer their return(s) or books and records (if no return is due or filed) are not going to be examined at this time. The letter must contain statement, "Do not consider this as an examination that resulted in no change to your tax liabilities or your status status. You were not examined for these years."

  3. Approved deletion requests should be forwarded to:

  2. If the case involves a tax liability which extends beyond the taxable years covered by the examination report and into a taxable period for which a return is not yet due, the examiner will prepare a Form 5666 recommending a future year examination to ensure compliance.

4.75.16.6.4.2  (05-13-2003)
Referral Revocation Cases

  1. Form 5666 will be prepared in all cases involving revocations except the revocation of a private foundation. It will be prepared by the EO examiner prior to submitting the case to Mandatory Review.

    Note:

    A referral is not made in cases involving the revocation of a private foundation because EO Examinations has examination jurisdiction over taxable returns, e.g. Forms 1120, filed by a revoked private foundation.

    Note:

    The Form 5666 will remain in the case file until a final determination is made. If the revocation is sustained, the Mandatory Reviewer or Appeals Officer will date Form 5666 and route it to EO Classification. If the revocation is not sustained, the Mandatory Reviewer or Appeals Office will destroy the Form 5666 and attachments.

    8. If discrepancy adjustments have not been proposed, list the names and social security numbers or employer identification numbers of contributors who will not be able to deduct contributions made before the revocation is/was published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

      Note:

      A contributor can not deduct contributions prior to the date an announcement is published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin, if the contributor: 1. had knowledge of the revocation of the ruling or determination letter, 2. was aware that such revocation was imminent, or 3. was in part responsible for, or was aware of, the activities or deficiencies on the part of the organization which gave rise to the revocation. See Treas. Reg. §1.509(a)-7(a) and Rev Proc 82-39, 1982-2 C.B.

    3. A copy of any taxable returns which have been obtained.

    4. If no taxable return has been obtained because the organization did not submit appropriate returns as requested by the EO examiner, or because the conversion of the Form 990 to Form 1120 or Form 1041 is complex and requires the expertise of income tax examiners, a statement to that effect and a recommendation that the return be secured by LMSB or SBSE.

    5. Any pertinent financial or other information or documents.

4.75.16.6.4.3  (05-13-2003)
Referral Other Issues

  1. If information is discovered during the examination of an exempt organization that will effect the tax liability of individual or taxable entity and the issue can not be addressed using discrepancy adjustment procedures, the examiner will prepare a Form 5666.

4.75.16.6.5  (05-13-2003)
Form 4760, Processing Record for Agreed Unpaid Deficiency Cases Requiring Prompt Assessment or Overassessment

  1. Quick assessment procedures must be used to process unpaid, agreed deficiency cases of $50,000 or more. Agreed deficiency cases of $50,000 and over must be manually assessed within twenty-two (22) calendar days of the received date of the signed agreement form.

    Note:

  2. Examiners must complete the Form 4760; Processing Record for Agreed Unpaid Deficiency Cases Requiring Prompt Assessment or Overassessment, for all cases with agreed unpaid deficiencies or overassessments of $50,000 or more. These forms may also be used for agreed unpaid deficiencies or overassessments of $10,000 or more. The Form 4760 is attached to the front of the case file. Each employee handling the case must initial the Form 4760 and record the date they handled the case. If the examiner encounters delays in transmitting the case to the next processing level, he/she must record the reason on the Case Chronology Record.

4.75.16.7  (05-13-2003)
Processing Restricted Interest Cases

  1. When a case involves restricted interest, the examiner does not solicit the interest due during the examination. If the taxpayer desires to make full payment of the balance due, the examiner will notate on the Form 3198 that the restricted interest computation is to be provided to the examiner. At closing ESS will provide the interest computation to the examiner. The examiner will then contact the taxpayer and solicit payment of the interest.

4.75.16.8  (05-13-2003)
Processing Related Returns

  1. Related cases should generally be closed simultaneously with the primary return.

  2. A Form 3198, Special Handling Notice, should be attached to each case folder.

    1. The primary case file should list the: 1. Name, 2. EIN/SSN, 3. MFT, and 4. Tax year for all related cases under the box for "Name" . If additional space is required the examiner should attach a separate list and annotate the Form 3198 "RELATED CASES - See Attached List " in the space under the box for name

    2. All case files, both primary and related, should include the following statement in red ink at the top of the Form 3198: "MULTIPLE RETURNS/CASE FOLDERS INVOLVED - DO NOT SEPARATE."

  3. The examiner should include in the primary case file, copies of all materials necessary to document any adjustment(s) proposed in related case file(s).

  4. The examiner may consider closing related cases separately, where issues are not interrelated and separate closing(s) would avoid long delays in processing no-change or agreed cases. If cases are separated, a notation should be made on each Case Chronology Record indicating the reason and managerial approval for doing so.

4.75.16.9  (05-13-2003)
Closing Cases on a Copy of Return

  1. An examiner closing a case without the original return must secure an exact duplicate of the organization's retained copy or a BTVU/RTVUE print. A Form 3198 should identify the case file as being closed based on a retained copy or a BTVU/RTVUE print.

  2. If a copy of the return is being used to close the case, the examiner should annotate in bold red print the words "Copy of Filed Return Secured by EO" in the upper margin on the face of the copy of the return.

  3. If a BRTVU/RTVUE is being used to close the case, the examiner should annotate in red at the top of the print "BRTVU/RTVUE Print Used by EO" .

  4. The examiner should verify tax payments and credits claimed on the return. A transcript should be secured if necessary to determine the true liability.

4.75.16.10  (05-13-2003)
Processing Suspense Cases

  1. Case files requiring suspension of action will normally be held in Dallas by Mandatory Review until action on the case can resume. These will include, but are not limited to, technical advice cases and Section 1254 suspense cases.

  2. Before forwarding a suspense case to Review, it will be the group’s responsibility to insure the statute is protected for at least one year. Upon receipt in Review, it will be Review’s responsibility to secure any further extensions to the statutes. Review will also secure extensions on subsequent years if there is a continuing issue.

  3. Technical Assistance cases will be maintained in the groups. The group should forward a copy of the technical assistance memorandum to Review for information and follow up purposes.

4.75.16.11  (05-13-2003)
Updating the Determination File

  1. If the examiner secures information to update the Determination File, microfiche, he/she should:

    1. Complete the "Documents to be Added to Determination File/Microfiche " cover sheet as shown in Exhibit 4.75.16-5.

    2. Attach to the form information to be added to the determination file.

    3. Send form and attachments to the following address:

4.75.16.12  (05-13-2003)
Case File Assembly

  1. Because further technical, administrative and procedural action is sometimes required on a case after being closed from the examiner's inventory, it is important the file be properly organized. This will assist group managers, reviewers, conferees, processing clerks and others who may subsequently become involved with the case.

  2. Adherence to this IRM will provide a uniform presentation to the next level. Guidelines for assembling most forms used in examinations are provided in this section. Each form, report or document listed will not be required in every case. While this listing is not all-inclusive, it will cover most situations. For less commonly used forms, not addressed here, examiners should use their judgment in determining where to place a particular document. Minor variances from the IRM may be necessary in unusual situations.

  3. The examiner is responsible for properly assembling the case file and purging all unnecessary documents, including duplicate letters, envelopes, routing slips, etc. Examiners should not purge items relating to the audit trail such as IDRS prints of AMDIS, INOLES, and BMFOLI. Once the files are properly assembled, they will be maintained in this manner throughout the closing process.

  4. The examiner should adequately index all supporting documentation in the case file to the Form 5772, 5773 and 5774. Any indexing system is acceptable, so long as it allows anyone unfamiliar with the case to easily locate workpapers and other important documents in the file.

  5. Refer to Exhibit 4.75.16-6 for a diagram illustrating case file assembly.

4.75.16.12.1  (05-13-2003)
Case Folders

  1. A separate folder will be used for each type of return and taxpayer. Multiple years of the same return for one taxpayer should be placed in one folder.

    Example:

    In an examination of the 200012 and 200112 Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, and 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return, there would be two folders, one for the 200012 and 200112 Forms 990 and another for the 200012 and 200112 Forms 990-T.

  2. The administrative record will be placed in a separate folder.

  3. The examiner should include in the primary case file, copies of all materials necessary to document any adjustment(s) proposed in related case file(s).

  4. In most cases, brown folders will be used. Red folders are used on all cases with less than eight months remaining on the statute of limitations. Additionally, special project cases may be placed in a colored folder.

  5. Large case files may require more than one folder or may be placed in expanding folders. All folders should be labeled with the organization's name, EIN, type of return, and year. Multiple folders should be numbered in consecutive order. The number of file folders should be indicated on the Form 3210 prepared to transmit the case for closing.

  6. In examinations involving multiple case folders, it is important to ensure all case folders remain together throughout the closing process. A Form 3198 should be attached to each case folder with the following statement in large red letters "Multiple Returns/Case Folders Involved - DO NOT SEPARATE" . For additional requirements, refer to section 4.75.16.7.

4.75.16.12.2  (05-13-2003)

    Note:

    A dummy return, Form 990, is used to close examinations of organizations that are not required to file Form 990.

    Note:

    The returns referenced here are the returns being used to close the case. Copies of returns or RICS returns that are not being used to close the case should be purged or placed in the supplemental workpapers. If a case is assigned with a RICS return and the original is received before the case is closed, the RICS should always be placed in the supplemental workpapers because it may be needed for a TEQMS review.

The workpapers, including Forms 5772 and 5773, for any related cases need only address the issues relating to these returns. For example the case file for a Form 990-T, related to the examination of a Form 990, would generally only need to address the unrelated business issues.

    6. Correspondence with the taxpayer;

    7. Information Document Requests;

    8. Prior Examination Reports;
