3.22.110  Chapter Three Withholding Returns - Form 1042 (Cont. 2)

3.22.110.16 
Section 07 - Total Tax, Credits, Bal Due/Refund

3.22.110.16.12  (01-01-2009)
Field 07B/D - Balance Due/Overpayment

  1. Field 07B/D is a 15-position field that may or may not be present.

  2. The field is located on Lines 68 (+) and 69 (-).

  3. The valid characters are numeric (0 through 9) and blank.

  4. The amount can be positive (balance due) or negative (refund).

    Note:

    If the overpayment is a refund, CCC S must be in Field 0763A and there must be a 1 in Field 0771. If the overpayment is credit elect, CCC E must be in Field 0763A and Field 0771 must be blank.

  5. The field breaker must be positive (+) for a balance due and minus (-) for a refund.

  6. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

  7. The amount in the field is the difference between Field 0763C (tax) and Field 0767 (payments) plus Field 07FTD (penalty).

  8. Invalid Conditions -

    1. There is a non-numeric character in the field.

    2. The field will underprint if the field breaker is incorrect or the computer's amount differs from the taxpayer's≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

    3. Interest or a penalty other than the FTD penalty in Field 07FTD was included as part of the balance due or refund.

    4. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

    5. A refund that is in Interest Jeopardy must be processed as a Manual Refund if the amount meets the Service Center criteria.

    6. An overpayment on Form 1042 can be either a refund or credit elect to the following year, but not both, as this is not in the program. If the taxpayer indicates that part of the overpayment is to be refunded and part is carried forward to the following year, the return must be rejected from Error Correction. Notate the Form 4227 REFUND & CREDIT ELECT. See Rejects correction procedures for processing.

      Note:

      Look on the return in the margin for an indication that Code & Edit already sent a Form 3465 to have the credit elect amount transferred. It will still be necessary to reject the return so Rejects can adjust the amounts on the return and register.

  9. Correction Procedures -

    1. Be sure that the amount AND field breaker are entered correctly.

      Reminder:

      When correcting the field breaker, a balance due is entered with a comma (,) and a refund with a pound sign (#).

    2. Delete any interest or penalty (except the amount in Field 07FTD) from the balance due or refund.

      Note:

      Deleting penalty or interest will DECREASE a balance due amount but will INCREASE a refund amount.

    3. If there is an underprint, be sure the tax and payments total are entered correctly and that there is no penalty (except 07FTD) or interest included. Assign TPNC 01.

      Note:

      ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

    4. ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

      Note:

      If the return is pulled form the block prior to its being worked by the tax examiner, be sure the Action Code 3 is entered on the register and the return is charged-out.

    5. If it cannot be determined how the taxpayer computed the balance due or refund, reject the return for research by Rejects.

    6. Remember that if the taxpayer check the NQI box on the front of the return, NO refund is allowed. Follow the correction procedures under Field 0766.

    7. If the QI taxpayer is claiming a refund, there must be Forms 1042-S attached to the Form 1042 to substantiate the credit on Line 66 (see Field 0766 for more information).

    8. If the taxpayer wants all or part of the refund transferred to a different tax period or return, reject the return. Notate the Form 4227 REFUND TRANSFER.

    9. If Field 07B/D is blank but is underprinting an overpayment, look to see if there is an entry on Line 66 (Field 0766) that was erroneously used as a total line for Lines 64 and 65. If so, move the data to the correct line and field.

    10. If neither checkbox on Line 71 was checked and there is an overpayment AND YOU ARE CORRESPONDING FOR ANOTHER CONDITION, ask the taxpayer to indicate which box should have been checked. Do not correspond for this if there is no other reason to correspond (enter the CCC "E" ).

    11. Do not send a TPNC if there is no underprint in the balance due/refund field (07B/D). If there are underprints in Fields 0763A and 0763C, but NOT in 07B/D, then: Be sure all money fields in Section 07 are entered correctly. Remember that the tolerance for total tax≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Fields 0763A and 0763C will underprint if the difference is ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ more, but Field 07B/D will not underprint for an error ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ In this case, bring up the underprints in Fields 0763A and 0763C. Do NOT send a TPNC in this case.

    12. If the withholding agent put the overpayment of balance due onto the wrong line of the return, so that Field 07B/D has the correct (or in tolerance) amount but the wrong sign (field breaker), then: If you change the plus to a minus, be sure to enter CCC E or S into Field 0763A (as appropriate) and enter a 1 into Field 0771 if the overpayment is a refund. If you change the minus to a plus, be sure to delete CCC E or S from Field 0763A and delete the 1 from 0771, if present.

  10. Rejects Correction Procedures -

    1. If Error Correction cannot determine how the taxpayer computed the refund or balance due and researching the credits does not provide an answer, correspond with the taxpayer asking for an explanation if the amount is significant ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Otherwise, send TPNC 01.

    2. When the REPLY is received, adjust the return and fields accordingly. If NO REPLY is received, adjust the amounts in favor of the IRS,

    3. Follow service center procedures concerning Manual Refund processing, depending on whether the Manual Refund forms (5792 and 3753) are completed in Error Resolution or in Accounting. If in Error Resolution, see IRM 3.12.38.20.4 for processing.

      Note:

      Regardless of where the forms are prepared, Rejects must enter the CCC O into Field 01CCC (and on the return, in brown pencil). If there is an error affecting the refund amount, send the appropriate TPNC.

    4. If the taxpayer wants all or part of the overpayment transferred to a different return, tax year, EIN, etc., or indicates that part of the overpayment is to be refunded and part credit elect to the following year:

      Note:

      In this case the taxpayer may check both boxes on Line 71, then.

      Prepare and send Form 3465 (Adjustment Request). See Exhibit 3.22.110-4.

      Note:

      Do not prepare a Form 3465 if there is a notation in the margin of the return indicating Code & Edit already prepared and sent this form.

      If the credit transfer can be done in the Rejects Unit, then the Form 3465 is unnecessary.
      If all of the overpayment is to be transferred, enter Computer Condition Code X.
      If only part of the overpayment is to be transferred (credit elect) and the rest refunded:
      (a) Reduce a credit amount (Lines 64-66) by the amount to be transferred.
      (b) Reduce the credit amount, total and overpayment on the return and register to reflect only the amount to be actually refunded. This is true for both computer-generated and manual refunds.
       

      Note:

      Even though it is part of the overpayment that the taxpayer wants carried over to the following year, you are not transferring part of the REFUND, but part of the CREDIT amount leading up to the refund.

      (c) The above is to be done whether the Form 3465 was prepared, or the credit transfer was done in the Rejects unit.
      (d) Because what now shows on the register is the refund amount, CCC S will be in Field 01CCC and on the return.

      Note:

      Do not enter a CCC X (to hold the credit to be transferred in the module) if any part of the overpayment is to be refunded as this will prevent the refund from being released.

3.22.110.16.13  (01-01-2009)
Field 07FTD - Federal Tax Deposit (FTD) Penalty

  1. Field 07FTD is a 15-position field that may or may not be present.

  9. Correction/ Rejects Correction Procedures -

    1. Be sure that the amount is entered correctly.

    2. If the withholding agent put the overpayment or balance due onto Line 70 incorrectly (when it should have been entered onto Line 69 or 71), then:

      1. If the amount is an overpayment, be sure to enter CCC E or S into Field 0763A (as appropriate) and enter a 1 into Field 0771 if the overpayment is a refund after moving the money to the correct line of the return. Be sure the correct field breaker and amount appear in Field 07B/D.
      2. If the amount is a balance due, be sure to delete CCC E or S from Field 0763A and delete the 1 from 0771, if present, after moving the money to the correct line of the return. Be sure the correct field breaker and amount appear in Field 07B/D.
      3. In either of the above cases, be sure that any amount still in Field 07FTD is the FTD penalty only.

    3. If you must adjust the balance due to refund because penalties or interest were included, remember that this penalty must remain as part of the balance due or refund.

    4. If there is an amount in this field, CCC J will be invalid. Determine which is correct and delete the other. Look for a misplaced entry on this line.

    02ZIP ZIP Code 12

  2. Invalid Condition – Error Code 002 will generate when the Name Control mismatched against the National Account Profile (NAP) or Entity Index File (EIF).

  3. Correction Procedures:

    1. Before taking any additional research steps to resolve Error Code 002, drop the cursor to the bottom of the screen and transmit. This will ensure that any prior changes to the Name Control have posted to the NAP. If Error Code 002 reappears, continue with the remainder of the correction procedures.

    2. When corrections are made to Field 01NC or Field 01EIN, the computer will validate the entries with the NAP and reset the OLE indicators as appropriate upon transmitting the ERS screen.

    3. Correct all misplaced entries, coding and transcription errors.

    4. Compare the displayed fields with the return and attachments. If incorrect, overlay the screen with the correct information.

    5. If Field 01NC and the Name on the return or attachments are the same but differ from the underprint in Field 01NC, research INOLES to determine the correct Name.

      If... Then...
      The Name on the return or attachment matches the Name Control on INOLES, Bring up underprint.
      The Name Control on INOLES is different from the Name on the return or attachment, Research NAMEE for a new EIN.

    6. If a new EIN is located, verify the Name Control using CC INOLES.

      If... Then...
      The Name Control on INOLES matches the Name on the return or attachment, 1) Ensure that the entity information matches the return.
      2) Overlay Field 01EIN with the new EIN from NAMEE. When the EIN is changed from the one the taxpayer used, issue Letter 3875C as a non-suspense letter to the address on the return.

      Note:

      Do not send Letter 3875C if less than three digits of the EIN are transposed, different or missing.

      Multiple EINs are located, 1) SSPND 320 to Entity Control.
      2) Prepare Form 4227 with the notation MULTIPLE EINS.
      INOLES indicates a "Merge To" (MT) EIN, Research the "MT" EIN on INOLES.
      The "MT" EIN matches the entity on the return or attachment, Enter the "MT" EIN in Field 01EIN.
      The "MT" EIN does not match the entity on the return or attachment, SSPND 320 to Entity Control.

    7. If the Name on the return or attachment does not agree with the Name Control on INOLES or there is an indication of a name change on Form 1042, research ENMOD for a new name.

      If... Then...
      The Name Control on ENMOD matches the Name on the return or attachment, Enter "C" in the Clear Code field.
      The Name Control on ENMOD or INOLES does not match the Name on the return or attachment, 1) SSPND 320 to route the return to Entity.
      2) Attach Form 4227 with the notation "NO RECORD" .

    8. If the Name change has not been made, research ENMOD for a pending TC 013.

      If... Then...
      A pending TC 013 is present, Enter "C" in the Clear Code field.
      A pending TC 013 is not present, 1) SSPND 320 to route to Entity.
      2) Attach Form 4227 with the notation "REQUEST NAME CHANGE (TC 013)" .

  4. Suspense Correction - If there is an indication that Entity Control has assigned an EIN to the return, determine the Entity Assignment Date:

    If... Then...
    The Entity Assignment Date is past the Return Due Date and Received Date,
    1. GTSEC 01.

    2. Enter the Entity Assignment Date in Field 01CRD.

    The Entity Assignment Date is not past the Return Due Date Continue processing.

    • The letters "E" , "G" or "M" are present in Field 01NC.

  3. Correction Procedures:

    1. Correct all misplaced entries, coding and transcription errors.

    2. Compare the displayed fields with the return and attachments. If incorrect, overlay the screen with the correct information.

      If... Then...
      The check digit in Field 01NC does not match the return or is not legible , Enter the Name Control from the return in Field 01NC.
      The EIN on the return is not legible, Research NAMEE for correct EIN.

    3. Compare the EIN from NAMEE to the EIN on the return.

    If... Then...
    The EIN on Form 1042 matches the EIN on NAMEE, Enter Name Control from NAMEE in Field 01NC.
    Research indicates a different EIN, Verify the EIN and name on INOLES.
    Name Control on INOLES matches the name on the return or attachment,
    1. Overlay Field 01EIN with the EIN from INOLES.

    2. Issue Letter 3875C as a non-suspense letter to the address on the return.

      Note:

      Do not send Letter 3875C if less than 3 digits of the EIN are transposed, different or missing.

    • The EIN is not present at Master File (MF)

    • The Entity Index File (EIF) and the NAP (National Account Profile) were not accessed or were not operational, causing a blank underprint in Field 01NC

    Note:

    An underprint of "XXXX" indicates that there is no account on the Master File, while a blank underprint indicates that the NAP has not been accessed or was not operational.

  3. Correction Procedures:

    1. Before taking any additional research steps to resolve Error Code 004, drop the cursor to the bottom of the screen and transmit. This will ensure that any prior changes to the Name Control/EIN have posted to the NAP. If Error Code 004 reappears, continue with the remainder of the correction procedures.

    2. When corrections are made to Field 01NC or Field 01EIN, the computer will validate the entries with the NAP and reset the OLE indicators as appropriate upon transmitting the ERS screen.
