Part 4. Examining Process

Chapter 29. Partnership Control System (PCS)

Section 4. PCS Reports

4.29.4  PCS Reports

4.29.4.1  (09-02-2008)
General PCS Report Information

  1. This section is broken into four PCS report categories:

    • National Directories,

    • Database maintenance reports,

    • Statute processing reports, and

    • Key Case Action Reports.

  2. See Exhibit 4.29.4-1, PCS Reports, provides a summary of each report generated by PCS.

  3. Each report is generated for the field and CTFs based on the TEFRA indicator.

  4. In general, the Brookhaven campus works all SB/SE key cases (PBC 2XX) and related investors (PBC 295) and the Ogden campus works all LMSB key cases (PBC 3XX) and related investors (PBC 398); any residual SB/SE key case investors still remaining in Ogden will be worked in PBC 298.

  5. Appeals cases (PBC 6XX) will be worked in each campus. PCS will determine the correct campus and segregate the cases to the proper reports.

  6. Each campus is responsible for distributing copies of report data to the field and/or Appeals offices.

4.29.4.2  (01-01-2003)
National Directories

  1. The following sub-sections relate to national listings of the information in the database, restated for different parameters.

4.29.4.2.1  (01-01-2004)
General Information on National Directories

  1. The following three reports are national directories:

    • National Directory, Key Case TIN Sequence, Report 22-1,

    • National Directory, Promoter Number Sequence, Report 22-2, and

    • National Directory, Field/CTF, Report 22-3.

  2. Reports 22-1 and 22-2 are produced monthly on CD-ROM and yearly on microfiche. Report 22-3 is a printed report.

4.29.4.2.2  (03-01-2006)
National Directory, Key Case TIN Sequence, Report 22–1

  1. Report 22-1, produced monthly, lists key case records in TIN order with linked investor records in TIN order grouped by PBC.

  2. The report reflects open key case records and closed key case records which have at least one open linked investor record. Open key cases are in a status code below 80. Closed key cases are in a status code 80 or above.

    Caution:

    These are Examination definitions and reflect whether the key case can be found in the AIMS open case database or closed case database. The actual PCS, Appeals, and Service definition is "any case under status code 90 is open" .

  3. Following the TIN sequence listing, an alpha listing of key cases is provided. This allows research by DBA name if the key case TIN is not available.

  4. The report is a research tool providing a history of the key case and linked investors.

  5. All microfiche must be retained for 30 years. The CD-ROMs must also be kept for thirty years, but recopied every five to seven years. Special procedures must be followed when disposing of microfiche. Please contact the Headquarters TEFRA analyst or the Records Officer prior to disposing of those records.

4.29.4.2.3  (03-01-2006)
National Directory, Promoter Number Sequence, Report 22–2

  1. Report 22-2, produced monthly, lists key cases with linked investor records in promoter number TIN sequence. It is used for research; it provides a history of key cases and investors within a promotion.

  2. The report reflects open key case records and closed key case records which have at least one open linked investor record. Open key cases are in a status code below 80; closed key cases are in a status code 80 or above.

    Caution:

    These are Examination definitions and reflect whether the key case can be found in the AIMS open case database or closed case database. The actual PCS, Appeals, and Service definition is "any case under status code 90 is open" .

  3. All microfiche must be retained for 30 years. The CD-ROMs must also be kept for thirty years, but recopied every five to seven years. Special procedures must be followed when disposing of microfiche. Please contact the Headquarters TEFRA analyst or the Records Officer prior to disposing of those records.

4.29.4.2.3.1  (04-01-2007)
Proper Access and Security of CD-ROM Data

  1. The information provided on the CD-ROMs must be kept in a locked cabinet when not in use.

  2. The disks are shipped encrypted and password protected. Those authorized to receive the disks will be provided the password.

  3. For assistance in accessing the data, contact the Headquarters TEFRA analyst.

4.29.4.2.4  (01-01-2004)
National Directory, Field or CTF, Report 22–3

  1. Report 22-3 lists key case records with all linked investors. Field reports reflect nonTEFRA key cases and their linked investors. CTF reports reflect TEFRA key cases within the campus's jurisdiction and their linked investors.

  2. The report includes investor records in a TC424 status. They are indicated by an asterisk to the left of the investor sequence number. One asterisk indicates the record has been in a TC424 status for one month. Two asterisks indicate two months or more.

  3. The report is generated quarterly for all linked key cases. This report is the key instrument in perfecting key case linkages. Use it to reconcile the Schedules K-1 to the linkages shown on the report.

  4. The report is generated weekly if at least one investor is a skeletal record. The AIMS 424 Reject Register should be worked with this report. The reject code, listed in IRM 4.4, AIMS/Processing Handbook, identifies the reason for the reject. Research the record, correct the reject condition, and establish the investor in full display.

  5. Retain this report until the next quarterly report is received.

4.29.4.3  (03-01-2006)
Database Maintenance Reports

  1. The following sub-sections discuss special reports that identify specific problems in the database.

  2. These conditions require immediate attention.

4.29.4.3.1  (03-01-2006)
General Information on Database Maintenance Reports

  1. The following five reports are database maintenance reports:

    • Real-time Error Register, Report 1-1,

    • Taxpayer by TIN Master Listing, Report 6-1,

    • 424 Action Record Report 7-2, and

    • Deleted Investors, Report 7-3.

4.29.4.3.2  (03-01-2006)
Real-time Error Register, Report 1–1

  1. During centralized processing at MCC, PCS data is input in the database in date and time order of input. An input can be accepted during real-time but rejected during centralized processing if the accessed record is no longer on the PICF.

  2. Report 1-1 notifies the key case field office or CTF of inputs rejected during centralized processing. A literal reject message appears on the report. Literal reject messages are shown in See Exhibit 4.29.4-2, Error Register Reject Literals. The command code originally input, as well as pertinent key case and investor information, is included on the error register.

  3. This error register should be analyzed when received by the PCS Coordinator to ensure that corrected inputs are made. No action is needed for TSCLS rejects.

  4. Retain the report until the next report is received

4.29.4.3.3  (03-01-2006)
Taxpayer by TIN Master Listing, Report 6–1 (Suspended)

  1. Report 6-1 is a master listing of all field PCS records within the field’s or CTF’s jurisdiction. The report is sorted by investor TIN and lists all linked records. The report is an investor inventory report and may be used as a research tool as needed. No actions are required.

  2. Report 6-1 is separated by open (below status code 80) or closed (status code 80 or above) records. Closed key cases are displayed only if there are open investor records linked to the closed key case record.

    Caution:

    These are Examination definitions and reflect whether the key case can be found in the AIMS open case database or closed case database. The actual PCS, Appeals, and Service definition is "any case under status code 90 is open" .

  3. Retain the report until the next report is received.

4.29.4.3.4  (03-01-2006)
424 Action Report, PCS Report 7–2

  1. Report 7-2 notifies field and CTF personnel of PCS records in a TC424 status for more than two months. These records must be acted upon or they will drop from the PCS database if not fully established on AIMS.

  2. Reports displaying investor records in a TC424 status will also include key case record information.

  3. Report 7-2 must be used in conjunction with the AIMS TC424 Reject Register. The AIMS TC424 Reject Register may provide the reason for non-establishment and suggested resolution actions. Refer to IRM 4.4, AIMS/Processing Handbook, for AIMS TC424 Reject Register procedures.

  4. Retain the report for six months.

4.29.4.3.5  (01-01-2003)
Deleted Investors, Report 7–3

  1. Report 7-3 lists investor records dropped from PCS when the only key case linkage has been deleted. The key case linkage is identified on the report to assist contacting the key case field office or CTF.

  2. The report gives the reason the investor record dropped from the PCS:

    • CC TSDEL;

    • Purge-date realized; or

    • 424-drop date realized.

    The report lists all linkage records that were present when the investor record dropped.

  3. The investor record and key case record are displayed in the following format:

    • The first 12 positions are for an edited TIN;

    • There are two blank positions, then the next two positions are the MFT code; and

    • There are two blank positions, then the next six positions are the tax period.

  4. Investor records dropped from the PCS are printed on Report 7-3 only once. They do not repeat on subsequent weekly reports. AIMS records are not affected when the record drops from the PCS.

  5. The investor field function or CTF must determine whether to re-control the case on the PCS, close the case on AIMS, or leave the case controlled on AIMS, but not on the PCS.

    1. To re-control the case on the PCS, submit Form 8341 (using CC TSLOD) to establish the linkage.

    2. If there are other issues (unrelated to the PCS) that require AIMS control, no further action is necessary.

    3. If there is no reason to control the case on the PCS or on AIMS, then the AIMS record must also be closed via Form 5351, Examination Non-Examined Closings, or Form 5546, Return Charge-Out. Refer to IRM 4.4, AIMS/Processing Handbook, for procedures to close non-examined returns.

  6. Retain this report for three months.

4.29.4.4  (01-01-2003)
Statute Reports

  1. The following sub-sections relate to statute reports produced by the PCS.

4.29.4.4.1  (03-01-2006)
General Information on Statute Reports

  1. The PCS generates four reports that show information about the PCS cases with pending statute of limitation dates. The PCS only provides statute reports with regard to TEFRA one-year assessment statute dates. Fields and CTFs must also utilize AIMS Tables 4.1 and 4.0 to ensure statute dates are protected on all assigned cases.

  2. Report 2-2 provides a count of records with a one-year assessment statute date on the investor record. Criteria for items excluded from the report are provided below.

  3. Report 4-4 lists all records on the PCS with a one-year assessment statute date on the investor record.

  4. Report 5-5 provides a list of key cases within an CTF’s jurisdiction that are in status 90 and have linked investors without a one-year assessment statute date.

4.29.4.4.2  (03-01-2006)
Number of Returns by One-Year Assessment Statute Date, Report 2–2

  1. Report 2-2 is a count of TEFRA investor records with a pending one-year assessment statute date.

  2. Report 2-2 reflects pending one-year assessment statute records by month for the current month and the following 14 months. Each area in the CTF’s jurisdiction is displayed with a breakdown between records in status code 34 and records in a status code other than 34.

  3. The report does not include investor records that have " 11111111" entered in the one-year assessment statute date field.

  4. The CTF should use the report to determine volume of pending one-year date cases requiring action and for required staffing.

4.29.4.4.3  (03-01-2006)
TEFRA One-Year Assessment Statute Date Listing, Report 4–4

  1. Report 4-4 lists all CTF investor records that have a TEFRA one-year assessment statute date present on a linkage record. Key case information for linkage records with a one-year date present is displayed to the right of the investor record information.

  2. The CTFs must ensure reports are written and tax, penalty, and interest are processed prior to the expiration of the one-year assessment statute date.

  3. Investor records with an entry of A, B, C, M, R, or S in the package received indicator field are listed on separate report pages. See IRM Exhibit 4.29.3-3 for the meaning of these codes. Records with MFT code 34 are also listed on separate report pages. All other IMF investors are listed separately from all other BMF investors.

  4. Investor records added to Report 4-4 within the prior three PCS cycles are identified by the literal "NEW" to the extreme right of the report. Records identified as "NEW" are listed at the beginning of each separate sort for the report.

  5. The "NEW" investor records are listed in one-year assessment date order followed by all other investor records in one-year assessment statute date order. If an investor has multiple linkages with a one-year date present, the investor and all linkages with a one-year date will be listed on the report by the earliest one-year date.

  6. An entry of "Y" in the Report Package Received Indicator field signifies that the investor report writing package was received. Follow-up action must be taken to secure packages that have not been received.

  7. TEFRA investor records, with the TEFRA assessment already processed, appear on this report with a "11111111" one-year assessment statute date. The one-year assessment statute date field MUST NOT be deleted when the TEFRA assessment is made. If it is deleted the investor record reappears on this report as a new investor requiring action, when a mass change update takes place after the assessment is made.

  8. When the TEFRA assessment is made, the one year assessment statute date must be updated to "11111111" .

  9. If there is an unagreed penalty or affected item issue, the one-year assessment statute date must be updated to the six digit numeric date followed by "P" (YYYYMMDDP) with CC TSCHG. The one-year date for the penalty or affected item issue will be updated to "11111111 " when the penalty or affected item is assessed.

  10. One-year assessment statute dates that have been updated to " 11111111" for investors linked to a tier with multiple key case linkages, will be removed from the linkage record with an entry of "T " in item 05 of CC TSCHG.

    1. This will allow subsequent one-year assessment statute dates to flow through to the tier investors, and it retains accomplishments from the investor report.

    2. The "Y" report package received indicator must also be removed, after the partial assessment has been made and before the investor file is suspensed, before the next adjustment.

  11. Retain this report for two years. It will be reviewed by the National Headquarters Office when the CTF is on the visitation schedule.

4.29.4.4.4  (03-01-2006)
Incomplete TEFRA Key Case Closures for Key Case Campus, Report 5–5

  1. Report 5-5 lists key cases that are in status 90 that have linked investors without a one-year assessment date.

  2. The key case CTF will use this report in conjunction with Report 21-3, TEFRA Key Case Action Report for the Campus CTF, to ensure timely receipt of incoming packages.

  3. The key case CTF must input one-year assessment statute dates on each linked investor when there is sufficient information in the key case administrative file to determine the correct date.

  4. The key case CTF must coordinate with the key case field office when there is insufficient information:

    1. To provide the CTF with the closing package; or

    2. To secure the key case return and take appropriate action.

  5. Retain this report for two years. It will be reviewed by the National Headquarters Office when the CTF is on the visitation schedule. In general, no local jurisdiction investor, other than an investor in Appeals or the courts, should cause a local key case to appear on this report.

4.29.4.4.5  (03-01-2006)
Incomplete NonTEFRA Key Case Closures for Key Case Campus, Report 5–5(N)

  1. Report 5-5(N) lists key cases that are in status 90 that have linked investors without a report package received indicator date.

  2. The key case CTF must input the report package received indicator code on each linked investor when a report is received.

  3. The key case CTF must coordinate with the key case field office when a package cannot be located:

    1. To provide the CTF with the closing package; or

    2. To assist in securing the key case return.

  4. Retain this report for two years. It will be reviewed by the National Headquarters Office when the CTF is on the visitation schedule.

4.29.4.5  (01-01-2003)
