Effect on Other Documents¶
Audience¶
Effective Date¶
Scott Wallace Director, Submission Processing Taxpayer Services
Program Scope and Objectives¶
This program corrects inconsistencies in the income documents prior to posting for use by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a variety of programs and purposes.
Purpose: This subsection gives instructions for correction of paper register on income information return inconsistencies prior to posting to the Information Return Master File (IRMF).
Audience: These procedures apply to Taxpayer Services (TS), Submission Processing (SP), Input Correction Operation (ICO), tax examiners, quality reviewers, leads, clerks and managers at all campuses.
Policy Owner: Director, Submission Processing.
Program Owner: Submission Processing, Return Processing Branch, Business Master File (BMF) Section.
Primary Stakeholders: Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE), Examination Operation, Headquarters Examination.
Program Goals:
Correct prior year paper income information return data records processed through Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP) failing Information Return Paper Processing Document (IRPPD) validations in Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) runs appearing on paper Error Register.
Correct current processing year information return data records processed through the Service Center Recognition/Image Processing System SCRIPS scanned income information return data records failing Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) business rules by using the IR Mod Employee Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP).
Background¶
Filers send paper information returns to the IRS to fulfill the filing requirement and provide their taxpayer identification number (TIN). The IRS converts processable paper returns to electronic data. Data records failing IRPPD validations and business rules in the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) fallout to paper error registers or the Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP). Error Resolution employees resolve errors allowing, the information to post to Master File.
Filers can also create, upload, edit, and view information and downloaded completed copies of information returns to the IRS using Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) to fulfill the filing requirement electronically. These data records do not fallout to error in IRRP for correction.
Note:¶
The above list does not include all updates to the IRC.
Policy Statements for Submission Processing are found in IRM 1.2.1.4, Policy Statements for Submission Processing Activities.
Roles and Responsibilities¶
The Director of Submission Processing approves and authorizes the policy present in this IRM.
The Department manager secures, assigns, and conducts training for the staff who perform the tasks throughout this instruction.
The Planning and Analysis Staff gives feedback and support to local management to achieve and effectively monitor schedules.
The Team manager assigns the Error Register and IRRP submissions to control workflow and resolve error conditions listed in this IRM.
The employee (tax examiner or quality reviewer) follows IRM instruction to correct the paper Error Register and IRRP submissions which will resolve error conditions for proper posting.
Program Management and Review¶
Program Reports: Consult IRM 3.12.37, Error Resolution, Individual Master File (IMF) General Instructions, and IRM 3.12.38, Error Resolution, Business Master File (BMF) General Instructions, for control of Error Registers and Service Center ordering of Error Register Display Request Card for paper filing. Below is a list of Error Register reports to complete and use to monitor the error inventory in the Service Center.
GMF 10-40, Error Display Run Control Report, generates daily as a computer summary of the error processing
GMF 10-41, IRP Error Register, generates daily errors needing correction by Error Resolution (ERS)
GMF 10-42, Error Register Summary, produced when the Error Register prints, has the sum totals for each type of error document by parent program number
GMF 10-43, Daily Error Volume Report, listing of volumes of error records in each program on the error tape (recirculation file)
The Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP) has several features to view and manage electronic filing submissions identified by Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) as having errors.
A manager can view both assigned and unassigned submissions in IRRP using the dashboard page. Submissions are assigned by the manager to the tax examiner, who completes, corrects, or flags the submissions. Once corrections are complete, a manager may assign complete submissions to quality review, or submit the corrected submission back to IRIS.
Program Effectiveness: Management measures goals using documents per hour reports. Each function must complete the required inventory prior to the program completion date stated in IRM 3.30.123, Work Planning and Control, Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria and Critical Dates.
Annual Review: Review the processes included in this manual annually to ensure accuracy and promote consistent tax administration.
Program Controls¶
Each workday Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) runs for paper returns and creates the Error Register based on Form 6826, Error/Reject Display Request Card, requested by the site. See IRM 3.12.38.2.2, Form 6826 - Service Center Replacement System (SCRS) Error/Reject Display Request Card, and IRM 3.12.37.10, Form 6826, Error/Reject Display Request Card, for instruction on preparation of the request.
The Daily Error Volume Report (GMF 10-43) lists the volume of error records in each program by Julian date followed by a summary page reflecting the volume of all records in error.
A manager can control both assigned and unassigned submissions in the Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP) by referring to the "Total Submission Count" and "Total Form Count" that display on each page. These counts will update continuously and can be used to determine inventory management.

Information Return Processing (IRP) Error Reasons Codes¶
Error Reason Codes appear in the return header line of the error register. Refer to the instructions below to process paper IRP returns using error register.
Use these codes as a guide to correct the paper error record. Additional errors, if present, are identified by the Error Reason Code.
Error Reason Codes on IRP paper Error Register are shown below:
11
14
15
16
17
18
19
AA
Error Reason Code 11 shows one of the following error conditions:
The Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Code does not match the state.
The ZIP Code present for a document with a period "." in the State Code Field is valid only for foreign addresses.
The document has a state with a Major City Code. Clear by deleting the state.
Error Reason Code 14 shows one of the following error conditions:
The return has an Account Type Code "T" or "J" (foreign information returns) without a Foreign Country Code.
The return has an Account Type Code other than "T" or "J" with a Foreign Country Code present.
Error Reason Code 15 shows the Tax Class, Document Code, or File Location Code of the payer Document Locator Number (DLN) does not match the document being processed.
Error Reason Code 17 shows an error detected by ISRP. When this occurs, an Error Indicator code appears next to one or more of the section numbers. Review the entire document for errors. See IRM 3.12.8.2.6, Error Indicators, for more information.
Error Reason Code AA shows an invalid correction attempt. See IRM 3.12.8.2.6, Error Indicators, for invalid correction attempts.
Information Return Processing (IRP) Action Codes (AC)¶
Enter at least one Action Code (AC) on the paper Error Register to correct an error item.
Valid Action Codes for IRP Error Registers are shown below:
AC "2"
AC "6"
AC "7"
Action Code "2" :
Enter this code to the left of Section 01 to delete an entire return. See IRM 3.12.8.2.8, Deleting Error Records, for details on deleting returns from the Error Register.
Use a SCCF adjustment indicator of D, N, or R after AC "2" .
Never use any other Action Code with AC "2" .
Action Code "6" :
Enter to the left of the proper section(s) to change data field(s) in a section.
Enter at each section with a correction. At least one field within the section shows correction by lining through the incorrect field(s) and entering the correct data above the lined-out field(s).
Notate on the register the span of documents needing correction if a consecutive correction for Section 16 applies to multiple documents.
Caution:¶
Not notating the consecutive changes needed results in improper data entry.
Action Code "7" :
Enter this code to the left of Section 01 to validate data on the Error Register as correct.
Use this code to bypass certain validity and consistency checks.
Never use AC "7" with any other Action Code.
Never use AC "7" when "%%" appears in the document identification line.
Caution:¶
If used, all remaining documents in the block continue to loop on the register until corrected individually.
Error Indicators¶
The following Error Indicators represent invalid sections on paper Error Register.
Error Indicator Number
Error Description
Condition
1 2
ISRP Error Section Length Error
Required fields in a section not all present; or
The section has more fields than allowed.
4
Field Length Error
Too many characters present in a variable field.
Too few characters present in a fixed field.
A non-numeric character in the unit position of a right justified field.
Non-numeric data in a money field.
Assigned to more than one section even though not all sections show an error. Correct all sections in error when this occurs with AC "6" . The Error Indicator Number 4 for any section, correct as is, does not clear the first correction attempt. The document loops on the Error Register. When it loops, clear the document from the Error Register with AC "7" , unless an error not previously corrected requires AC "6" .
G
Required Section Not Input
Data transcription has deleted a required section.
5
Duplicate sections entered or entered out of order
Data transcription has added sections in addition to screen prompt given.
Enter a dummy correction in the section with no error to keep the error from looping.
Example:¶
If Error Indicator Number 4 appears before both Sections 01 and 02, but only Section 01 has an error, use AC "6" to correct Section 01 and an AC "6" to place an entry in Section 02 currently present on the record.
Caution:¶
Do not do this on parent document, Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns.
Enter a hyphen "-" in Section 02, Field A (Payer Account Number for payee) if the field is blank or re-enter the original entry present using an AC "6" . This forces a dummy correction to Section 02.
Caution:¶
Do not do this on parent document. Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns.
Account Type Code¶
(ATC) appears on the Error Register in the block identification line.
The ATC transcribed appears physically on the Transaction Code Box of Form 1332, Block and Selection Record, (or on Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control) on documents input through ISRP.
ATCs defined below:

Deleting Error Records¶
In general, delete a paper return from the error tape for one of the following reasons:
Error Record Deleted
Condition
Duplicate Document Locator Numbers (DLNs) assigned
If duplicate DLNs are assigned, delete one of the documents and return it to Receipt and Control for renumbering and re-input. Include the Section 16 DLN.
Use AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code D to delete the return from the error tape.
Return mis-blocked.
Exception:¶
Form 1099-INT, Interest Income, blocked with Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions
Prepare Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip, for re-input. Notate on Form 4227"Re-input" and attach to the mis-blocked return.
Reminder:¶
Renumbered and re-blocked prior to re-input mis-blocked returns.
Use AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code N to delete the return from the error tape.
Receipt and Control Operation (RCO) erroneously sent the return for processing.
Note:¶
Find selection criteria in IRM 3.10.8, Information Return Processing
Delete the return if it does not meet the selection criteria. Prepare Form 4227 by notating "Delete" and attach to the return to be deleted.
Use AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code D to delete the return from the error tape.
Return with conflicting information and Filer’s intent not clear
If specific correction instruction is not present in the IRM, use AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code D to delete the return.
Fraud
Use AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code D to delete the return from the error tape.
Re-input (with Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control) using the original DLN, deleted Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc., and Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings. Use AC "2" , Error/Reject Disposition Code "R" to delete an item above and re-input with the same DLN unless originally assigned an incorrect DLN.
In certain cases, deleting returns for re-input creates less work even though they meet the selection criteria and has the correct DLN. To do this, use AC "2" , Error/Reject Disposition Code "R" . In these cases, re-input the return without renumbering and re-blocking. Prepare Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control, and attach to the return(s). In addition, place the Account Type Code, Amended Doc Code (F or G), and payer count in "Trans Code" box. For every return attached to Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control, where the payer data changes, edit the 14-digit payer DLN (except foreign returns), payer name and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) (also, Foreign Country Code for foreign returns), according to instructions in IRM 3.12.8.6, Section 16 Error Register. Edit the payer's address according to instructions in IRM 3.12.8.6, Section 16 Error Register. Do not edit a foreign payer's address. Account Type Code "S" appears as "M" on Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control, for re-input through ISRP.
An Error/Reject Disposition Code is required when a return is deleted. This disposition code automatically adjusts the Service Center Control File (SCCF). Use one of the following codes.
Code
Action
Use When:
D
Delete
Documents not fit for processing or selectable for sample, or with unknown DLN.
Note:¶
Never used for Form 1096, Form 1099-R, or Form W-2G.
R
Re-input
A document requires deletion and re-processing using the same DLN.
N
Renumber
Document deleted and re-input using a different DLN. Do the following:
Renumber and assign a new DLN.
Place the new DLN above the original DLN in the document ID line and cross out the original DLN.
Enter one of the following master file codes for a document renumbered outside of ISRP:
IMF - Individual Master File
BMF - Business Master File
EPMF - Employee Plans Master File
IRAF - Individual Retirement Account File
NMF - Non master file
Do not code a new DLN when using Error/Reject Disposition Codes D or R. Enter the Master File Tax Code (MFT Code) and Error/Reject Disposition Code "R" on Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control, for re-input returns with the same DLN. If the MFT requires changing, renumber the document using Error/Reject Disposition Code N. If the Account Type Code changed use Error/Reject Disposition Code "R" .
The Error/Reject Disposition Code must appear immediately to the right of AC "2" .
Notate the Error/Reject Disposition Code in the remarks section on Form 4227, Intra-SC Reject or Routing Slip and Form 1332, Block and Selection Record, or Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control.
Edit the 14-digit payer DLN, payer name, payer address (except for foreign returns), and TIN (also Foreign Country Code for foreign returns) when deleting a return for re-input.
An Error Deletion List (SCR 11-45) generates when corrections run against the error file, to show all documents deleted by using AC "2" .
Do not release any deleted document to Receipt and Control for DLN renumbering and re-input until it appears on the Error Deletion List (SCR 11-45).
After verifying a deleted document on the Error Deletion List (SCR 11-45) release the document as follows:
For documents deleted with Error/Reject Disposition Code "D" , dispose of the documents per Document 12990, IRS Records Control Schedules, unless the documents require re-input.
For documents deleted with Error/Reject Disposition Code "R" , re-input using Form 3893, Re-Entry Document Control.
Contact the balancing function to resolve discrepancies found on the Error Deletion List (e.g., return renumbered incorrectly, return coded with Error/Reject Disposition Code "D" re-input, etc.).
File the Error Deletion List in the Error Resolution function.
Error Register Field Breakers¶
IRP Error Registers display positive (+) and negative (-) field breakers.
Code field breakers in Section 06 if they need changing:
Use a comma "," for positive (+).
Use a pound sign "#" for negative (-).
Invalid Correction Attempts¶
Each correction made on the Error Register goes through validity checks. If the correction does not pass these validity checks, Error Reason Code "AA" will display.
Action Codes other than 2, 6, or 7 result in an invalid correction attempt.
Action Code "2" Invalid Use¶
Invalid correction attempt for Action Code (AC) 2 occurs when:
Used with any other Action Code (AC).

Delinquent Transmittals¶
Process all Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, to the Payer Master File (PMF) regardless of when received. Process late transmittals for the current year processed (YYTY). Delinquent transmittals up to ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ from current year processed (e.g., if YYTY equals current year processed ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡). Separate blocks by tax year. The tax year in the block header should match the tax year on the transmittals.
Caution:¶
NEVER replace or enter a TIN obtained through research on returns with Document Codes other than 69. The TIN present on the form will post in the data record.
A return showing a TIN with other than nine numerics is a no-TIN return.
Follow instructions for Section 16, payer TIN for corrections to Form 1096. See IRM 3.12.8.6, Section 16 Error Register for instructions. Correct Section 01, Field A, Form 1096, using the Section 16 rules found in IRM 3.12.8.6.7, Section 16, Field G, Payer TIN.

Army Post Office (APO), Diplomatic Post Office (DPO) and Fleet Post Office (FPO) is edited to the first three positions of Field 01-G. When present:
Remove any additional or other city information from Field 01-G.
The state and ZIP Code must match the military state and ZIP Codes shown in Exhibit 3.12.8-8, Military City, State and Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Code.
Major City Codes (MCCs) may be present in Field 01-G.
If a valid MCC is present, enter the ZIP Code from Exhibit 3.12.8-3, Major City Codes Sorted by Major City, or Exhibit 3.12.8-4, Major Cities Sorted by Major City Code, in Field I, Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Code.
If an invalid MCC is present, enter the city and state in Field 01-G and 01-H.
If a payee foreign address present:
Follow instructions in IRM 3.24.37, General Instructions, for entry of foreign returns.
Edit the foreign country in Field 01-G.
Note:¶
Do not enter a Foreign Country Code.
Use abbreviations as necessary to limit the entry in Field 01-G to no more than 15 positions.
Enter three "Z" s (e.g., "ZZZ" ) when you cannot determine Field 01-G.
Note:¶
Embedded blanks are not allowed and Field 01-1 requires left justification.
Determine and enter the correct ZIP Code in Field 01-I. Use Exhibit 3.12.8-6, Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Code Range Sorted by Code. Correct Field 01-I by entering the first three-digit ZIP Code shown for the state followed by the numerics "01."
Blank Field I, ZIP Code, and Field H, State, if you cannot determine the ZIP Code.
A Major City Code (MCC) present on payee documents requires the ZIP Code. Enter a three-digit ZIP Code shown for the MCC followed by the numerics "01" in Field 01-I.
Foreign addresses require a blank ZIP Code Field 01-I.
Always verify the ZIP Code for a state, even if Field 01-H is the only error. Use Exhibit 3.12.8-6, Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Code Range Sorted by Code.
If the first three digits of the ZIP Code equals 340, 090 through 098 or 962 through 966, use the military city, state and ZIP Codes shown in Exhibit 3.12.8-8, Military City, State and Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Codes, to determine a valid city and state. Correct Field 01-G, City, and Field 01-H, State.
Note:¶
An entry in this field is valid only for Document Code 69 Format Code 007 with an Account Type Code "S."
TIN Type per PMF source
1
Exception:¶
Document Code 69 Format Code 007 is always original. Correct an entry of "G" to "F."
If Field 02-C is correctly coded a "G" , the document can have no money amounts.
If Field 02-C is correctly coded a "F" , the document must have at least one money amount except for the following:
Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, Document Code 83.
Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc., Document Code 98.
Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Information, Document Code 95 with a Direct Sales Indicator of "1."
Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation, Document Code 71 with a Direct Sales Indicator of "1."
Any form type with a Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) filing requirement indicator of "1."
Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, Document Code 69.
If an accurate indicator "F" is present with zero money amounts, delete the document using AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code "D" .
Exception:¶
Do not delete the income information returns outlined in paragraph (4).
Note:¶
Zero is not considered a negative number.
Money amount fields have a maximum length of 12 positions.
Money amount fields reflect dollars only and require all numerics (including zero).
Indicator and description fields can have alpha or numeric characters.
Returns transcribed with a money amount(s) of one million dollars or greater, or losses equal to or greater than (10,000) fall to the Error Register for review. Review transcription. If transcribed correctly and the documents do not meet fraudulent criteria, use Action Code (AC) "7" . If the documents appear fraudulent delete the data record using AC "2" . See Exhibit 3.12.8-9, Signs of Fraud, for examples of fraudulent criteria.
Note:¶
Obtain returns with Account Type Code "S" from SCRIPS.
Correct Fields "A" through "U" as needed on the Error Register. If the field has a required money amount, and it is blank, then change the field(s) to a zero. Before changing a blank to zero, verify no significant money amount(s) are present on the document. To zero a field, line through the incorrect data and edit one zero above the incorrect data.
Example:¶
Change money amount(s) to zero when a money field is less than one dollar. Do not consider cents from .01 up to .99 a significant money amount and don’t round up or down.
If selected for processing, returns require a significant amount(s) (greater than 99 cents) in at least one of the required money fields. If the return does not have a significant money amount and is not listed as an exception item listed below, delete the data record with AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code "D." Exception items include:
If you cannot determine illegible money amounts, delete the return using AC "2" and route to IRP sort unit to correspond as outlined in IRM 3.10.8.5.2, Review of Information Returns.
Accept zero amounts in all money fields for corrected/amended returns. A corrected or amended return has a mark in the corrected box on the face of the form and Section 02 Field C has "G."
Caution:¶
Ensure the correction box on the form is marked before changing Section 02, Field C, from "F" (original return) to "G" (corrected return).
Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, transmittal does not include a corrected box. It is always an original document that accepts zero money amounts in Section 06.
Accept zero amounts in all money fields if a Direct Sales Indicator of "1" is present.
Accept zero amounts in all money fields when a FATCA filing requirement indicator of "1" is present.
If for all form types box 4, "Federal income tax withheld," is the only money amount on the return, delete the return using AC "2" and Error/Reject Disposition Code "D."
Exception:¶
≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡
Money amount correction, instruction, and explanation appear in the subsections below and are in Document Code order.
Exhibit 3.12.8-1, Information Return Processing Format Codes and Required Section 06 Fields for Returns, and Exhibit 3.12.8-2, Information Return Processing Section 06 Fields Transcribed or Scanned, shows the required fields and box (line) numbers the fields represent for the returns.
Correct erroneous negative amounts as follows:
If the negative amount resulted from a transcription error, correct the field using AC "6" .
If a negative amount was erroneously edited or entered, change the field to zero using AC "6" . However, if the correction to zero results in all required money amounts being zero, then refer to IRM 3.12.8.5 (8), Section 06 Error Register, to determine if the record requires deleting.
Verify conversion of prior year Form 1096 to the correct processing year format.
Do a cursory review of the Section 06 money amounts. Correct transcription errors using AC "6" . Use AC "7" to clear records without errors.
If a filer enters more than one amount in a box, enter the total of the two amounts.
If a taxpayer enters a negative amount for a positive only field, enter zero.
Unused alpha field designators do not print in Section 06.
Exception:¶
If no form type is marked in Box 6 stating the form type transmitted and you cannot determine by notations on the face of the document enter "195" (EIN) or "295" (SSN) depending on the TIN type code.

Accept only the following entries for the delinquent return indicator for an Account Type Code "B" or "C" Form 1096; ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡.
Accept only the following entries for an Account Type Code "S" Form 1096, ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡.
If the Delinquent Return Indicator is ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡.
Field H, Correspondence Indicators
This entry, if present, is in the last two boxes under the wording "For Official Use Only" .
Accept only 99, and blank. If you cannot determine a correct indicator, then blank the field.
If the form is "Prepared by the IRS" on the signature line place code "99" in the correspondence indicator.
Field I, Original Documents Subject to Penalty
The entry for Account Type Code "B" and "C" documents is found in the bottom-left corner of the Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. The number is coded before a slash "/" (e.g., "25/" ).
The field for Account Type Code "S" is not present on the Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. The entry is computed by SCRIPS systemically.
The field is equal to or less than Field A. If not, both Field A and Field I appear in error.
Accept only positive (including zero) amounts.
If Field I is in error on Account Type Code "S" documents in raw register, notify your campus Planning & Analysis (P&A) staff and provide examples for forwarding to the IRP Analyst.
Field J, Amended Documents Subject to Penalty
The entry for Account Type Code "B" and "C" documents is in the bottom-left corner of the Form 1096. The number is coded after a slash / (e.g., "/25" ).
The field for Account Type Code "S" is not present on the Form 1096. The entry is computed by SCRIPS systemically.
If Field J is in error on Account Type Code "S" documents in raw register, notify your local P&A staff and provide examples for forwarding to the IRP Analyst.
This field is equal to or less than Field B. If not both Field B and Field J appear in error.
Accept only positive (including zero) amounts.
Field K, Year Indicator
An entry allowed on only Account Type Code "B" and "C" documents.
Accept only current year being processed minus three, current year being processed minus two, current year being processed minus one and blanks.
Note:¶
Blank represents current year being processed. Valid numeric entries equal to the three previous prior years.
Accept only blank entries for all Account Type Code "S" Document Code 69.
Fields L through U require blanks.
Example:¶
Correct "29 Palms" to "Twenty nine Palms."
Enter APO, DPO and FPO to the first three positions of the city.
Delete an entry of a foreign country in the city field.
Enter three "Z" s ("ZZZ" ) if unable to determine the city.
Major City Codes are valid.
Exception:¶
Rarely SCRIPS documents (Account Type Code "S" ) assign elevated Julian dates, 401 through 766.
Positions 9 through 13 consist of 00000 through 99999.
Position 14 reflects the current year digit, or the current year digit minus one.
If Field I is transcribed in error, line through the field and enter the correct parent DLN above it.
If the parent DLN is missing, blanks clear the Error Register on correction pass when AC "7" or AC "6" is used. If AC "6" is used on Sections 01, 02, or 06 only, the document loops because of blanks in payer DLN in Section 16.
Note:¶
AC "7" does not work if there is a "%%" appearing in this section.
Note:¶
If the section has "%%," you must enter a parent DLN on the first document to clear all documents from the Error Register on the first pass with an AC "6" . If AC "7" is used on the first document in first pass, all documents in the block continue to loop until you clear each one using AC "7" or entered a DLN and AC "6" . Therefore, do not clear the first document using anything other than a DLN correction with AC "6" .
If Field I parent DLN is in error for a consecutive group of returns, correct only the first parent DLN on the first return in the consecutive series to clear all returns from the error file. See also IRM 3.12.8.2.5 (4), Information Return Processing Action Codes.
Disposition of Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns¶
Keep all ISRP entered Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns in DLN order by year. When Error Resolution is finished with the returns, send to the SCRIPS unit for imaging retention. Once imaged, dispose of all Form 1096, per Document 12990, IRS Records Control Schedules.
Keep the returns in searchable order while suspending for disposition or working the Error Register loops per Document 12990, IRS Records Control Schedules.
Information Returns Modernization (IR MOD)¶
Beginning in calendar year 2023, the IRS established a new service to help with filing information returns. The Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) is a web-based platform that assists taxpayers in filing certain information returns electronically. IRIS programming can:
Offer taxpayers an accurate and secure way to e-file information returns.
Identify input errors and provide alerts for missing information.
Allow the user the opportunity to make corrections to previously filed information returns.
Allow taxpayers to save user information from year-to-year.
If the taxpayer files a Paper Information Return instead, it is scanned in the Service Center Recognition Image/Processing System (SCRIPS) system before IRIS validation. A paper return that fails IRIS business rules during the conversion process will fall out to error in the Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP) for correction in Error Resolution.
Beginning in processing year 2026, error correction will take place in IRRP for all current year information returns.
Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP)¶
When errors are present on information returns after IRIS validation, they are viewed in the Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP). Here, managers, tax examiners, and quality reviewers can manage work and resolve error conditions.
A specific "role" is established in IRRP for each user and will be associated with the user SEID. The roles are defined as:
Manager - Access to "Manage Unassigned Submissions" and "Manage Assigned Submissions" tiles that display on the Employee Portal Dashboard page. Submissions are assigned by the manager to a tax examiner, who will correct, flag for fraud, or view the submission. Once corrections are complete, the manager may assign completed submissions to a quality reviewer. When quality review is complete (or not needed) the manager will return the submissions to IRIS for validation.
Tax Examiner - Access to "Tax Examiner Inventory" tile that displays on the "Daily Inventory Report of Errors" page. The tax examiner is responsible for viewing and correcting submissions assigned by a manager. The tax examiner corrects all records identified with errors within a submission and returns the completed submission back to a manager. Completed records can be corrected, flagged for fraud, or viewed by an examiner to ensure the values present are correct.
Quality Reviewer - Access to "Quality Reviewer Inventory" tile that displays on the "Daily Inventory Report of Corrections" page. The quality reviewer is responsible for reviewing submissions that were previously completed by tax examiners. If the quality reviewer identifies an error, they can make updates to fields previously corrected by the tax examiner.
The Information Return images (as scanned) are not available in IRRP for use in correction by the tax examiner or quality reviewer. Use the DLN, shown on the "View Error Details" page in IRRP, and login to the Service Center Recognition Image/Processing System (SCRIPS) system to access a image of the return.
IRRP will cross reference the Negative TIN (NTIN) database.
An NTIN check, upon sing on, ensures users are registered with the NTIN service before accessing the application. See IRM 3.12.8.7.2(3), Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP) Access, for registration information.
An NTIN check is performed after selecting a Submission ID hyperlink on the "Daily Inventory Report of Errors" or the "Daily Inventory Report of Corrections" pages. If a user, such as a tax examiner or quality review, selects a Submission ID and the NTIN check determines they are not authorized to view the submission, then an error message will display.
Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP) Access¶
After login the IRRP "Dashboard" page will display and allow users to navigate the main functions of the application. Users will view files in need of review or correction based on their assigned user "role" .
Request access to IRRP using the BEARS application with the following notation for the applicable "role" :
PROD ADMIN IRRP MANAGER (INFORMATION RETURNS REVIEW PORTAL (IRRP))
Note:¶
PROD ADMIN IRRP MANAGER requires completion of all SITS role-based training hours prior to submitting BEARS request.
PROD ANALYST IRRP TAX EXAMINER (INFORMATION RETURNS REVIEW PORTAL (IRRP))
PROD ANALYST IRRP QUALITY REVIEWER (INFORMATION RETURNS REVIEW PORTAL (IRRP))
Because IRRP cross references the Negative TIN (NTIN), database users also need to register with NTIN through the Employee User Portal (EUP Portal).
A one time (EUP) registration is needed for all users of NTIN client applications. This is necessary to add SEIDs to the NTIN database.
To register for NTIN, request EUP access:EUP registration link.
Additionally, tax examiners and quality reviewers need access to the Service Center Recognition Image/Processing System (SCRIPS) system at each Submission Processing Campus (SPC) to retrieve images of information returns in need of IRRP correction. SCRIPS access is approved in increments. Managers must complete a spreadsheet with specific information and return to Planning & Analysis who will forward the request to the Return Processing Branch Headquarter Analyst. The request will allow the SCRIPS application to be loaded on the user’s laptop. Once loaded, a SCRIPS profile is created and the user can request campus access using the BEARS application:
SCRIPS-AUIRSC-WORKSTATION LEVEL (Austin SCRIPS)
SCRIPS-KIRSC-WORKSTATION LEVEL (Kansas City SCRIPS)
SCRIPS-OIRSC-WORKSTATION LEVEL (Ogden SCRIPS)
Note:¶
SCRIPS-OIRSC-WORKSTATION LEVEL requests will not be approved for employees who do not work at the Ogden Service Center. Managers in Austin and Kansas City will provide the names(s) and SEID(s) of employees needing access to Ogden SCRIPS to local Planning & Analysis Staff to forward to the Return Processing Branch Headquarter Analyst, who will make the request.
Use the File Location Code in the DLN to determine which SCRIPS campus to login to:
Service Center
File Location Code
Austin Submission Processing Campus (AUSPC)
18, 73, 74, 75, and 76
Kansas City Submission Processing Campus (KCSPC)
09, 36, 39, 41, and 43
Ogden Submission Processing Campus (OSPC)
29, 84, 86, 91, and 94
Using the Information Returns Review Portal (IRRP)¶
The "Employee Portal Dashboard" is where users navigate the main functions of the application. Users can view tiles based on the role assigned to their SEID.
Manager - Manage Unassigned Submissions - Follow the steps below.
"Manage Unassigned Submissions" - The Manage Unassigned Submissions page provides a view all submissions sent to IRRP from IRIS. These submissions will contain records identified by IRIS as having errors. On this page, a manager assigns submissions for correction by selecting a subset of submissions and a tax examiner SEID.
The "Total Submission Count" and "Total Form Count" will display in the upper left hand corner of the page. Use these counts to manage inventory.
Note:¶
IRIS will update the Total Submission Count consistently throughout the day as data is received.
A Table will display showing an empty checkbox, a "#" , "Submission ID" , "Form Count" , and "Date Received by IRIS" . The table is sorted by date, in descending order, with the oldest forms shown first.
The "Search by the Tax Examiner SEID" option is located along the bottom of the page. There is a drop down arrow to allow a manager to search for and select the tax examiner identified for assignment from the list. A manager can also search for a specific SEID by typing within the drop down. Only one SEID can be selected at a time.
Next, a manager can select one or more submissions and a tax examiner SEID to "Assign" submissions or navigate "Back" to the Dashboard page. To enable the "Assign" button, at least one checkbox must be selected and a tax examiner must be selected from the drop down.
Note:¶

Complete all error corrections for records in the submission before returning to a manager.
A table will display showing a "#" , "Submission ID" , "Form Count" , "Error Count" , and "Date Assigned" . The table is sorted by the "Date Assigned" , oldest to most recent.

The recipient Document Locator Number (DLN) will display in the upper left corner. Use the DLN to retrieve the SCRIPS image of the return.
All payment and edit fields will display. Checkboxes for all fields in error are automatically selected to determine the point of error. The checkbox will display before the individual box number that coincides with the information return that is being corrected.
The original value received from IRIS will populate in both the "Field in Error" and the "Field Correction" fields. This allows the tax examiner to leave the field uncorrected, if necessary, by not changing the value in the "Field Correction" textbox.
Note:¶
If the tax examiner selects checkboxes for other fields, they are able to view the value for that field.
Fields in error will have a "Field Correction" textbox where tax examiners can enter corrections. Select "Save" or"Next" when all corrections have been made.

On the last form, the "Next" button will change to "Save" .
Note:¶
The "Next" button will display if more forms in the submission need correction. On the last form, this button will change to "Save" .
Note:¶
Fields in Error will display a textbox under the original value and a corrected value can be entered, if necessary. If the field does not need correction, leave the textbox unchanged. These fields will have their checkbox checked by default to view the error and you will not be able to uncheck to minimize the field. Fields Not in Error will also display to allow users to view and correct a value not identified as potentially containing an error. The field will provide a textbox under the original value and a corrected value can be entered, if necessary. If you see that the field does not need correction, leave the textbox unchanged. These fields will have their checkbox unchecked by default but the field can be viewed.
Forms can be flagged for fraud if the submission exhibits signs of fraudulent information. If the form in error has an indication that the record may contain possible instances of fraud, then select the "Flag Form for Fraud" checkbox. Selecting this checkbox will display a message to verify this action.
If the tax examiner needs to refer to prior forms they completed, select the "Previous Form" button. This button, however, is disabled on the first form of the submission. Select "Save" or "Next" to perform validations on fields completed and continue.
Use the "Exit" link to leave the "View Error Details" page and return to the "Correct Submission" page. Selecting this link will bring up a modal making sure you want to continue to the Correct Submission page.

A table with filters will display. The reviewer can filter the table by "Tax Examiner SEID" , "Quality Reviewer SEID" , and "Review Status" .
The table will display a "#" , "Submission ID" , "Tax Examiner SEID" , "Form Count" , "Error Count" , "Quality Reviewer SEID" , and "Review Status" . The table is sorted by "Review Status" , "Complete" , "Assigned" , or "Not Assigned" then alphabetically by tax examiner SEID.

Submissions ID hyperlink: This selection allows the reviewer to view the "Review Submissions" .
Note:¶
The default will show 10 submissions per page. If there are more than 10 submissions, use the "Results Per Page" drop down list to change the number of visible rows on the table. If you select the "Results Per Page " drop down list, the options will be 10, 25, 50 or 100. If there is more than 1 page of records on the table, use the "Previous" and "Next" arrows to navigate between pages on the table. If you enter a valid page in the "Jump To" text box and select the "GO" button, you will be sent to that page.
"Review Submission" : Follow the steps below for the role of the quality reviewer.
A table will display showing a "#" , "Record ID" , "Corrected by (SEID)" , "Review Status" , "Error Count" , and "Flagged for Fraud" . The table will be sorted by the order the records appear in the submission.
Select "Begin Review" and the "View Correction Detail" page will display the first record requiring quality review. Follow the tax examiner instructions in (7) above to view the details of the submission.
