25.7.7  EO/BMF Reports

25.7.7.1  (12-01-2002)
Overview of Exempt Organizations/Business Master File (EO/BMF) Reports

  1. EO/BMF outputs consist of management information/statistical tabulation summaries and mailing labels.

  2. EO outputs consist of two general types:

    1. Existing BMF outputs

    2. EO/BMF outputs

  3. The BMF Accounts Register and BMF Name Directory provides information on exempt organizations. See IRM 21.2.2, Research, for a detailed description of these registers.

25.7.7.1.1  (09-20-2006)
Schedule Posting Cycles

  1. The production of EO outputs from the BMF is based on a schedule at the Martinsburg Computer Center (MCC). Most EO outputs are produced monthly. The Ogden Submission Processing Center (OSPC) processes EO returns and entity transactions weekly. This includes data entry through the Distributive Input System (DIS) Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP) and error correction for all errors detected during computer processing at the service center. Each week, the service center computer facility will ship computer tapes to MCC for their processing. MCC processes these tapes to the BMF. Any return or entity transaction input that is not acceptable at MCC will become unpostable. EO unpostables are returned to OSPC for resolution under the Generalized Unpostable Framework (GUF) system.

  2. Periodically (monthly, quarterly, etc.), MCC will produce EO outputs to reflect all returns and entity transactions posted to BMF since the last time that particular output was produced.

  3. Since MCC processes weekly, it can accept requests for returns from AIMS, search for the return(s) (bulk order) and generate either an AIMS reject or AIMS opening account. Both of these are sent back to the OSPC for printing, in the case of the reject register or " loading" onto the AIMS Data Base at the service center. At this point the return charge-out and AIMS labels are printed.

  4. EP/EO Determination System/EP/EO Application Control System (EDS/EACS) updates its data base and sends any TC 000, or effective January 1,1988, TC 016, to the BMF weekly. However, it is possible that the EDS/EACS TC 000 will unpost since the EIN could conceivably be on the BMF before the TC 000 attempts to post.

EO Mailing Labels

  1. EO/BMF produces labels for mailing to exempt organizations return forms in the Form 990 Series Returns. The labels use the BMF Name Lines, rather than their equivalents from the EO Entity Submodule. Mail labels for documents other than return forms usually contain only the name and address of the organizations and are produced only as needed. Those for return forms are produced three times during the process year (cycles 17, 34 and 52) based on the accounting period of the organization. In addition to the name and address, labels for mailing return forms contain the organization’s check digit, EIN, the type of return to be filed, the tax period ending (CCYYYYMM), service center code, Affiliation Code, Foundation Code, Group Exemption Number and Subsection Code. At the end of line 1 of the label there will be a form/package code indicating which 990 package to send.
