James L. Fish Director, Submission Processing Taxpayer Services

Purpose: The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP) is used to process forms and remittances. Data is entered, processed and fed to other IRS systems. This chapter provided instructions for the Original Entry, Key Verification, and Block Edit of tax returns and related data through ISRP.

This section provides instructions for entering and verifying data from block control documents and source documents for Delinquent Account Transactions, using the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) System.

Audience: Submission Processing Data Conversion Operation personnel including general clerks, leads and supervisors. These instructions apply to all campuses.

Policy Owner: The Director of Submission Processing.

Program Owner: Return Processing Branch, Mail Management/Data Conversion Section (an organization within Submission Processing).

Primary Stakeholder: Management officials who rely on accurate data gathered by the ISRP Program.

The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) System transcribes and formats data from paper returns/documents/vouchers for input into the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) and other systems by key entry operators. It also captures check images for archiving. Transaction Management System (TMS) is a COTS product that is an integral part of ISRP.

The following provide authority for the instructions in this IRM to be performed in support of completing compliance functions to make credits or refunds of any internal revenue tax, processing of non-revenue forms, and administrative support forms.

Title 26 of the United States Code (USC) or more commonly known as the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)

All Policy Statements for Submission Processing are contained in IRM 1.2.12, Servicewide Policies and Authorities, Policy Statements for Submission processing Activities:

Code sections which provide the IRS with the authority to issue levies

Congressional Acts which outline additional authorities and responsibilities like the Travel and Transportation Reform Act of 1998 or the Tax Reform Act of 1986

Policy Statements that provide authority for the work being done

The Operations Manager is responsible for securing, assigning and providing training for the staff needed to perform the task required throughout this instruction.

The Planning and Analysis Staff is responsible for providing feedback and support to local management to achieve and effectively monitor scheduled goals.

The Team Manager is responsible for assigning, monitoring and controlling the work flow to accomplish timely completion of the task required throughout this IRM.

The employee is responsible for applying the instruction present to the assigned task on the ISRP system to accurately convert paper data to electronic data record for proper posting for use by the IRS.

Program Reports: Below is a list of reports to use to show receipts, production and inventory for the paper return to electronic data conversion process. These reports sill be utilized to report and monitor daily and weekly status of the program to completeness.

PCC 6040, SC WP&C Performance and Cost Report

PCC 6240, SC WP&C Program Analysis Report

Program Effectiveness: Goals will be measured utilizing standard managerial reports by documents processed per hour and completion of each function compared to the established schedule for completion each week. Each functionality is expected to retain or exceed schedule prior to the program completion date stated in IRM 3.30.123, Work Planning and Control Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria, and Critical Dates. Quality reviews are expected to be conducted and monitored by local management and corrective action taken to ensure quality products are released to the next function.

Annual Review: Review the processes included in this manual annually to ensure accuracy and promote consistent tax administration. This may be included under responsibilities for a manager.

The reports for the Control Data Analysis, Project PCD, are on the Control-D/Web Access server, which has a login program control.

The following terms or acronyms are utilized throughout this IRM:

Key Verification (KV)

the operators perform quality review on payments through an electronic method called Key Verification.

Original Entry (OE)

The operators manually key enter data from both scanned images and paper documents.

IRM 3.24.37, ISRP System - General Instructions.

IRM 3.30.123, Work Planning and Control Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria, and Critical Dates.

IRM deviations must be submitted in writing following instructions from IRM 1.11.2.2, Internal Management Documents System - Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) Process, IRM Standards, and elevated through appropriate channels for executive approval.

This section provides instructions for entering and verifying data from block control documents for generation of Service Center Control File (SCCF) Control Records, with the exception of Federal Tax Deposit (FTD) Control Records, using the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) system.

The following is a list of control documents from which data will be transcribed:

Form 2345, Batch Transmittal

Form 813, Document Register

Form 4028, Service Center Control File Adjustment Record (SCCF Format Code 216)

Form 4028-A, Service Center Control File Renumber Adjustment Record (Format Code 310)

The following table illustrates the forms, program numbers and format codes:

There will be one Form 813, Document Register, for each document transcribed. However, when transcribing from Form 2345, Batch Transmittal, Form 4028, Service Center Control File Adjustment Record (SCCF Format Code 216), or Form 4028-A, Service Center Control File Renumber Adjustment Record (Format Code 310), there will be multiple documents entered from the same control form.

There is no need to separate documents by master files.

Original Entry (OE) Operator–In Section 01 there are several fields which contain the instruction to either enter or duplicate the data from the source document.

On the first document, the data must be keyed.

For the remaining documents, the data will be generated and appear on the screen.

If the data present is correct, press the key.

If the data is different on the source document, it must be keyed.

Key Verification (KV) Operator–Each document will be verified.

The information in Section 01 that was duplicated during OE will NOT be keyed.

The system is programmed to bypass this information during the KV operation.

However, it must be sight verified. If incorrect, back up into the field and enter the correct data.

All money amounts should be entered as dollars and cents.

Some fields require entry of data. These fields are referred to as MUST ENTER fields. They are indicated in the Transcription Operation Sheets by the presence of stars (★★★★★★). See IRM 3.24.37, ISRP System - General Instructions, for procedures related to MUST ENTER fields.

Service officials and management must communicate security standards contained in IRM 1.4.6, Resource Guide for Managers - Managers Security Handbook, to subordinate employees and establish methods to enforce them. Employees are responsible for taking required precautions in providing security for the documents, information, and property which they handle in performing official duties.
