    • The request must be made by the executor, administrator, or other fiduciary representing the estate of the decedent, or by the corporation (or fiduciary representing the dissolved corporation) and must be in relation to a decedent Form 1040 return during the period of administration, a gift tax return, Form 709, or a fiduciary income tax return, Form 1041, for a decedent’s estate, or a Form 1120, Form 940, Form 941, Form 990-T, or other forms for any tax for which a return is required, for a corporation contemplating dissolution, a corporation in the process of dissolving, or corporation that has dissolved.

    • Requests for a prompt assessment generally are received from taxpayers on Form 4810, Request for Prompt Assessment Under Internal Revenue Code Section 6501(d).

  2. Classification Section will determine if the request is complete and valid, the person making the request is authorized to do so, and all returns referenced have been filed.

    • Refer to Treasury Regulation 301.6501(d)-1 for reference in making these determinations.

    • If the request is incomplete or invalid for any reason, advise the requestor accordingly.

  3. Classification Section will input TC 560 using REQ77 on all cases selected for examination (this allows the input of a date that is earlier than the original date thus identifying the correct assessment statute expiration date and primary and/or secondary TIN for each return considered).

    Note:

    You must use a unique blocking series with the TC 560 or it will unpost if the ASED input is earlier than the MF ASED.

  4. Following is from the IMF PRP. CC AMSTU generates one of the blocking series below so our ASED updates will not unpost. If you directly input the TC 450 you must use one of the following or it will unpost:

    1. RC2 ASED TC 560 (TC 560 blocking series 700, 775, 990-999 bypass checks a, c and d below)

    1. The ASED of the input transaction is not equal to or greater than regular ASED.

    4. The transaction date of the TC 560 is earlier than the transaction date of a previously posted TC 560.

    5. The transaction date of the TC 560 is prior to the later of RDD or transaction date of the TC 150

  5. If the returns referenced in the request are accepted as filed, Classification Section will send Letter 621(C) to the requestor.

  6. If the returns referenced in the request are selected for examination, they will be controlled on AIMS to the appropriate Area Office. Send Letter 621(C) to notify the requestor that the request has been transferred to the Area Office for consideration.

  7. If it is determined upon review of the case that Document Matching Branch has an open control on a related period, Examination will contact the area to determine the status of their case.

    1. If there are more than six months remaining on the statute for assessment, Document Matching will determine if they wish to proceed with their case.

    2. If Document Matching processes their case, do not reference the year on Letter 621(C).

4.19.11.1.34  (11-09-2007)
Unlawful Returns - Joint Filed Returns

  1. Allow claims based on unlawful filings where the marriage was not valid if the following is present:

    • Verification, such as court documents, showing marriage was not valid for the tax period involved, and

    • Proper allocation of all return income, credits, and payments is provided.

  2. When one spouse to a joint return claims that he or she is not liable for the tax shown on that return because his or her signature was forged, that spouse must prove to the examiner's satisfaction that:

    • His or her signature on the joint return is in fact a forgery, and

    • He or she did not intend to file a joint return with the other spouse for the tax year in question.

  3. To determine whether the spouse’s signature on the joint return is a forgery, the claim’s examiner should:

    1. Determine that the spouse did not authorize signing of his or her name to the joint return.

    2. Compare reliable documentation showing the spouse’s true signature (driver’s license, social security card, or other official identification), to the signature on the return and

    3. Determine whether the signature on the return is a forgery.

  4. In cases where the return is filed and signed electronically with a paperless pin, requesting documentation to verify the spouse’s signature would not be applicable. Follow the procedures below for working these claims, disregarding references that would only pertain to the filing of a paper return.

  5. To determine whether the spouse intended to file a joint return with the other spouse for the year in question, the examiner should consider the following factors:

    • Did the spouse whose signature was forged file a separate return for the year in question?

    • Did the spouse whose signature was forged sign a request for extension of time to file the joint return for the year in question?

    • Did the spouse whose signature was forged participate in making of the joint return for the year in question i.e. by providing Forms W-2 or 1099 to the other spouse?

    • Did the spouse whose signature was forged pay any balance due or receive any refund in connection with the joint return?

    • Do any other facts indicate that the spouse whose signature was forged consented to the filing of the joint return for the year in question?

  6. If an analysis of these factors indicates to the examiner that the spouse whose signature was forged intended to file a joint return for the year in question, then the claim should be disallowed.

  7. If an analysis of these factors indicates to the examiner that the spouse whose signature was forged did not intend to file a joint return for the year in question, then the claim should be allowed.

  8. If the claim is allowed, then the taxpayer must provide proper allocation of all return income, credits, and payments.

  9. If all information is not provided, follow IRM 4.4.4, General Claim Processing. Include the following in any denial of a claim of forged signature on a joint return:

    • A copy of the Form 1040 signature line

    • A statement in the disallowance, "Internal Revenue Code Section 6064 states, the fact that an individual’s name is signed to a return, statement, or other document shall be prima facie evidence for all purposes that the return, statement, or other document was actually signed by him."

  10. In accordance with IRC Section 6064, the taxpayer must prove that he did not intend to file jointly and that the signature was forged.

4.19.11.1.35  (11-09-2007)
Low-Income Housing Credit (LIHC)

  1. The Low-Income Housing Credit under IRC 42 provides an incentive for taxpayers to invest in affordable housing. The taxpayer receives tax credit for ten years (credit period). To keep the credit, the taxpayer must provide affordable housing for fifteen years (compliance period). After IRS jurisdiction ends, the taxpayer must continue to provide affordable housing under the terms of the extended use agreement, which is at least another fifteen years. Altogether, the taxpayer is obligated to provide affordable housing for at least thirty years.

  2. The LIHC program is co-administered by the IRS and state agencies. The state agencies receive a specific amount of credit each year (based on population) and are responsible for determining which housing projects will receive credits, and how much credit. They are also responsible for monitoring the housing projects to ensure that taxpayers remain compliant throughout the life of the project; i.e., at least 30 years.

  3. A centralized LIHC Unit is located at the Philadelphia Compliance Campus, and is responsible for the following:

    1. Receiving, processing and storing physical files for forms and documentation submitted by state agencies and taxpayers as required under IRC 42.

    2. Maintaining the LIHC database; including transcribing data from submitted forms, correcting errors, and preparing analyses,

    3. Customer service to state agencies and taxpayers,

    4. Supporting Examination's classification of tax returns for audit, and

    5. Providing technical support to IRS personnel.

    1. If the form was filed solely to report that previously reported noncompliance has been corrected, no further action is required.

    2. If the form reports noncompliance or a building disposition, the taxpayer receives a notification letter (L-3464 or L-3467) specific to the type of noncompliance (or building disposition) that explains that noncompliance may result in the loss and/or recapture of the tax credit. The taxpayer is advised to contact the state agency to resolve the noncompliance issue.

4.19.11.1.35.6  (11-09-2007)
Evaluations for Audit Potential

  1. The LIHC Unit supports the classification of returns for audit by evaluating the information submitted on forms and documents submitted to the unit by state agencies and taxpayers.

  2. The evaluation will include consideration of:

    1. large, unusual, or questionable items,

    2. predetermined criteria intended to identify specific noncompliance issues. Criteria may be established based on current trends or known noncompliance strategies. These criteria may be documented by internal memoranda.

    3. fact patterns requiring evaluation.

  3. Large, unusual and questionable items are defined as:

    1. Comparative nature of the issue: two of a hundred of a building's rental units out of compliance for a month is not as important as a project failing the 40/60 minimum set-aside.

    2. Absolute nature of the issue: violations of the physical conditions standards should be evaluated based on the severity of the noncompliance, as well as the number of units impacted. Consideration must also be given to the documentation provided by the state agency.

    3. Inherent nature of the issue: a permanent decrease in the eligible basis of the property is more significant than two units that are not available for rent for two months.

    4. Evidence of intent to mislead; which includes missing, misleading or incomplete documentation.

    5. Extenuating circumstances: the issue cited is very temporary or quickly remedied once identified.

  4. The following instances always require evaluation of audit potential:

    1. Form 8609, Part II, if Part I of the form is not completed and signed by a state agency.

    2. Form 8823, if a state agency determines that the building (or project) is no longer in compliance and is no longer participating in the program or reports a disposition of a building (or interest therein).

    3. Form 8877, if the waiver is revoked.

    4. Form 8693 if the bond is denied or a Treasury Direct account is revoked.

  5. Once it is determined that further consideration of audit potential is needed, a classification package will be prepared. The file will include

    1. Classification checksheet,

    2. Masterfile research,

    3. Copies of Form 8609, parts I and II,

    4. Copies of Forms 8823, and

    5. Other relevant information.

  6. The information in the classification package is reviewed for audit potential.

  7. IRS personnel may contact the LIHC Compliance Unit for database research by calling 215-516-3572, faxing request to 215-516-1293, or writing to:

    1. Internal Revenue Service
      Attn: LIHC Compliance Unit, DP 607S
      P.O. Box 331
      Bensalem, PA 19020

State Business Licensing Compliance Program

  1. Purpose:The instructions in this text are used to process the state business license compliance initiative known as the DLSE (Division of Labor Standards Enforcement) Program. The DLSE Program provides taxpayers with certifications of compliance for Federal employment tax return filing and payment in order for them to obtain certain industry business licenses in their states. Currently, the only participant is the state of California.

  2. Scope:The DLSE Program is centralized at the Ogden Compliance Services Campus. The process is co-administered by the IRS and the respective state Division of Labor Standards. Guidance for the program must be a mutually agreed upon process with SBSE Campus Reporting Compliance, the appropriate IRS state Governmental Liaison, and the State Division of Labor Standards Enforcement staff.

  3. Charge time spent on this program to OFP 710-91715 or 790-91715, DLSE.

  4. Background:IRS and the California State Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) have a mutual interest in accurate wage reporting by those parties who are licensed by DLSE. The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement is concerned with the success of these businesses and that they pay the proper wage and withhold and transmit fiduciary funds. IRS is concerned about licensees becoming delinquent in the payment of federal taxes and the resulting burden on the government.

  5. MOU: A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been designed to provide a means of mutual cooperation to the end that labor standards obligations and federal employment taxes of licensees can be more effectively met. The means for exchange of appropriate information are delineated in the MOU. The agreement involves the central office of the California DLSE, the IRS Ogden Compliance Services Campus, and the Government Liaison for Northern California.

Overview of Process

  1. The State of California requires yearly renewal of business licenses. As a condition of granting the licenses, the State must receive proof of compliance from IRS that the applicant has filed all required Federal tax returns, and resolved all outstanding Federal tax balances, through full payment or appeal.

  2. The DLSE Program is processed as follows:

    1. DLSE will require the applicant to furnish the IRS with a valid "Tax Information Authorization" , Form 8821, naming DLSE as the appointee to receive tax information and a copy of their State business license application. The current state industry applications are: DLSE Form 810, Application for Registration Garment Manufacturing Industry; DLSE Form 401, Application for Farm Labor Contractor License; and DLSE Form 666, Car Washing and Polishing Registration Application.

    2. IRS shall supply DLSE with a weekly summary of Forms 8821 received and the status of the account compliance in a mutually agreeable format. See 4.19.11.1.39.9 State Data Delivery, for guidelines.

    3. DLSE will supply IRS with a monthly summary of licenses denied or revoked in a mutually agreeable format.

      Note:

      This information is not currently needed or being delivered but is provided for in the current MOU.

    4. The IRS will review the Business Master File (BMF) to ascertain whether statutory provisions for tax return filing and payment requirements are complied with by the applicant.

    5. License applicants who fail to meet statutory filing and payment requirements will be notified by IRS of these conditions, via IDRS Correspondex Letter 4267C, along with instructions on how they can be resolved. Applicants who have met all requirements will be similarly notified. All applicants will receive educational materials from IRS on how to comply with future filing and payment requirements via referral to Circular E on www.irs.gov .

    6. IRS will provide DLSE and the applicant with a statement that all filing and payment requirements have been met or information on the type and years of returns not filed and/or the year(s), type(s) and amount(s) of balances outstanding.

    7. DLSE's review board will assess the applicant's character and competency in light of the tax information to determine if the license should be denied based on failure to meet employment tax currency conditions.

    8. DLSE shall take precautions to ensure that information provided by the IRS under this agreement is used solely for the purpose of license determinations and the enforcement of license and labor standards. The information shall be safeguarded to prevent improper disclosure.

    9. In cases where the denial of license is based, at least in part, on the applicant's failure to resolve outstanding Federal tax problems by filing required returns or paying balances due, the IRS will honor DLSE's requests and provide employees to testify in civil court or administrative hearings. Testimony will be provided pursuant to subpoena by DLSE and upon the approval of the IRS Area Director per provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 301.9000-1.

    10. DLSE will provide three weeks notice to IRS of the scheduled date for administrative or judicial hearings where an IRS witness is requested.

    11. IRS will support DLSE in its compliance efforts to address the underground economy relative to the licensing programs.

    12. To enhance customer service, joint education and outreach seminars will be conducted in each IRS area on an as-needed basis. The need will be determined by the respective agencies.

DLSE Database

  1. The DLSE database is a local Access application used to track inventory.

  2. Permission to access the DLSE database is controlled by group membership on the Domain. Access to the folder on the server, where the data is stored, is granted through the 5081 system by modifying the LAN application and being added to the appropriate group. Access is granted by the Systems Administrator after manager approval. The database does not interface with Master File.

  3. All records or documents to determine access control should be documented and disseminated to appropriate elements within the organization. They should also be periodically reviewed by responsible parties within the organization.

  4. The organization should establish, activate, modify, review, disable, and remove information system accounts in accordance with documented account management procedures.

Application Verification

  1. Applications must be verified for completeness and accuracy. Verify the following information on Form 8821:

    1. Form 8821 and all pages for state license application are included. If the required application(s) are not included with the Form 8821, return Form 8821 to the taxpayer via Letter 4267C.

    2. Name line for application and Form 8821 agree and match IDRS.

    3. EIN is present and accurate. If no EIN, research INOLEX on the related SSN to find any cross-referenced EINs. Verify the SSN only to ensure information on the Form 8821 and application matches IDRS. Check NAMEE for business name and/or zip code. If EIN is found, enter to database.

      Note:

      If any outstanding liabilities are found on the SSN, issue a clearance letter for the EIN if appropriate.

  2. Verify INOLES name matches exactly to Legal Entity on Form 8821.

  3. Research INOLES for business established date and filing requirements to record in case sheet work papers.

  4. Research BMFOLI/SUMRY for employment tax MFT filing requirements. See Document 6209 for Filing Requirement Codes. Review appropriate MFTs for filing status codes to verify that all returns have been filed for the last six years as applicable and for any outstanding balances due. See Document 6209, MF and IDRS Collection Status Codes for current filing requirement and status codes and work as follows:

    • 02 - returns not filed - code as N for Non-compliant

    • 03 - IDRS in delinquency status - code as N

    • 06 - Requires further TXMOD research for pending transactions. See status 06 guidance below.

    • 10, 12 - paid in full - code C for Compliant

    • 21, 22 - balance due - code as N

    • 23 - balance due but may be below tolerance - review total assessed for tolerance - if above tolerance, review TXMOD

      Note:

      Include all modules in balance due to determine tolerance

    • 26 - revenue officer - Contact RO to determine compliance

    • 60 - payment plan - code as P for payment plan clearance

      Note:

      If status codes are 02 or 03, taxpayer contact may be needed to determine whether filing requirements are truly appropriate and/or delinquent. Although IDRS shows filing requirements are delinquent, circumstances may have changed since filing of the SS-4. If it is determined that filing requirements are not appropriate for this tax period and MFT, input FRM49 to delete open status. Note also that filing requirements are not considered delinquent until 60 days after the return due date.

    • 71 - OIC pending - Review TXMOD for TC480/481 (OIC pending/rejected) or 780 (OIC accepted). If pending/rejected, work as Non-compliant. If 780, work as Compliant.

  5. Status 06 guidance: Account will have pending 59X which will determine compliance status. If pending TC150 or 599, verify return balance due matches credit posted to tax period. If other 59X, review TDI Closing Codes in Document 6209, Section 11, for appropriate action.

  6. When reviewing for compliance, account should be looked at in its entirety to determine if balances due are above tolerance. Pending payments or offsets may affect balance due.

  7. All Agricultural industry non-compliant accounts must be referred to the designated RO via fax.

    • TIN

    • Primary Name

    • Secondary Name

    • STIN

    • Charity TIN

    • Property Donated

    • Year Received

    • Date Disposed

    • Disposition Amount

  2. The 8282 database will be maintained by the Ogden Campus. Approval is needed for access to the Form 8282 database. Approval may be requested by submitting an Online Form 5081, Information System User Registration/Change Request.

4.19.11.1.40.4  (11-09-2007)
Database Matching with Tax Return Information

  1. Database information is periodically matched against taxpayer return data using a Masterfile interface as follows:

    1. Form 1040, Schedule A, Line 16, Gifts to Charity - Other than by cash or check, are compared to corresponding Form 8282 data.

    2. A comparison of the amounts received by the charity for the sale of the donated item(s) is made to the amount claimed by the taxpayer on Schedule A.

    3. The difference in amounts is calculated for potential tax increase based on LEM criteria.

    4. Returns meeting the tolerance are systemically requested from Files for classification.

4.19.11.1.40.5  (11-09-2007)
Classifying 8282/8283 Match Data

  1. Forms 8282 are received for the following types of property:

    • Art (paintings, sculptures, watercolors, prints, drawings, ceramics, antiques, decorative arts, textiles, carpets, silver, rare manuscripts, historical memorabilia, and other similar objects)

    • Collectibles (coins, stamps, books, gems, jewelry, sports memorabilia, dolls, etc.)

    • Equipment

    • Intellectual Property

    • Qualified Conservation Contribution (including facade easement)

    • Real Estate

    • Securities

    • Vehicles (Automobiles, boats, airplanes, motor homes, etc.)

    • Other

  2. In many cases there will be an exact match where all property donated was sold by the donee. However, the donee may have sold only a partial interest, e.g., sold 35 of 100 acres or sold 100 of 500 shares, etc. Look at exactly what was donated to determine to what extent such donation was ultimately sold by the donee.

  3. The taxpayer will most likely have some type of appraisal that supports the Fair Market Value (FMV) they report on their return. This should not be accepted at face value.

  4. For BMF returns, there is no separate line item for non-cash contributions. Therefore, a presumption can be made that the entire contributions (both cash and non-cash) deducted by a corporation or flow-through entity (partnership, S corporation, or trust) represented the exact contribution reported to the IRS on Form 8282. Although this presumption is inherently flawed, it is made with the best information the IRS has available to them and is only done for pre-screening purposes.

  5. Form 1120 reports all charitable contributions on line 19. Taxpayers required to file Form 1120 are limited to 10% of taxable income before charitable deductions, NOL carrybacks or capital loss carrybacks and the dividend received deduction. Taxpayers who file forms 1120S or 1065 are required to show charitable contributions as a separately stated item on Schedule K, Lines 12a and 13a respectively (2004 returns). These amounts then flow through to the respective shareholders or partners on the Schedule K-1 they receive from the S-Corp or the partnership under Other deductions, Line 12 for Form 1120S, Schedule K-1 and Line 13, Form 1065, Schedule K-1.
