Celia Y. Doggette Director, Governmental Liaison, Disclosure and Safeguards

Purpose: This Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) section provides guidance on recordkeeping and accounting for disclosures as governed by Subsection (c) of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 USC 552a, and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) .

Audience: These procedures apply to all IRS employees and contractors.

Policy Owner: The Director of Governmental Liaison, Disclosure and Safeguards (GLDS) is responsible for oversight of Disclosure policy.

Program Owner: The Disclosure office, under GLDS, is responsible for the Disclosure program and guidance. Each IRS organization is responsible for ensuring its employees are aware of and follow Servicewide Disclosure policy.

Primary Stakeholders: All IRS Business Units have responsibility for recordkeeping and accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (c) of the Privacy Act and IRC 6103(p)(3)(A). This responsibility extends to manual as well as electronic applications in which accountable disclosures of tax information occur.

The system used to account for disclosures of returns and return information complies with two laws:

Subsection (c) of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 USC 552a); and

IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) .

Due to these two statutes, individuals may determine whether the IRS disclosed Federal Tax Information (FTI) or Privacy Act information about them. The IRS must record what FTI or Privacy Act information it discloses about any taxpayer.

Subsection (c) of the Privacy Act requires the IRS to keep an accurate accounting of each disclosure of information from a tax or nontax system of records. A system of records is a group of records regarding individuals that is retrievable by a unique identifier corresponding to those individuals. The IRS publishes systems of records periodically in the Federal Register. View the systems of records at: Privacy Act System of Records Notices.

The procedures in this chapter address only tax systems of records. To account for disclosures from nontax systems, see IRM 10.5.6.7, Privacy Act Accounting for Disclosures.

To the extent that IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) and Subsection (c) of the Privacy Act overlap regarding a particular disclosure, the accounting requirements of IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) will govern.

IRS provides corporate income tax returns to the Department of Justice in response to an ex parte order submitted under IRC 6103(i)(1). Corporate income tax returns meet the definition of returns under IRC 6103. Therefore, the IRS employee accounts for their disclosure in accordance with the requirements of IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) even though they do not fall within a system of record defined by the Privacy Act.

In accordance with disclosure authority IRC 6103(h)(3)(A), IRS refers a federal tax case to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution and includes in the referral package the 2015 and 2016 income tax returns of John Doe along with the related investigative files. Subsection (c) of the Privacy Act requires an accounting for these disclosures. However the IRS employee does not make an accounting since IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) exempts disclosures made under IRC 6103(h)(3)(A) from the accounting requirement.

IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) requires the IRS to account for all disclosures of returns/return information furnished under a subsection of IRC 6103 unless specifically exempted.

The following subsections of IRC 6103 are exempt from the accounting requirements as defined in IRC 6103(p)(3)(A):

IRC 6103(c)

IRC 6103(e)

IRC 6103 (f)(5)

IRC 6103(h)(1), IRC 6103(h)(3)(A) and IRC 6103(h)(4)

IRC 6103(i)(4) and IRC 6103(i)(8)(A)(ii)

IRC 6103(k)(1), IRC 6103(k)(2), IRC 6103(k)(6), IRC 6103(k)(8), and IRC 6103(k)(9)

IRC 6103(l)(1), IRC 6103(l)(4)(B), IRC 6103(l)(5), IRC 6103(l)(7), IRC 6103(l)(8), IRC 6103(l)(9), IRC 6103(l)(10), IRC 6103(l)(11), IRC 6103(l)(12), IRC 6103(l)(13), IRC 6103 (l)(14), IRC 6103(l)(15), IRC 6103(l)(16), IRC 6103(l)(17), and IRC 6103(l)(18)

IRC 6103(m)

IRC 6103(n)

All IRS employees who are responsible for making an accountable disclosure of tax information are also responsible for completing the accounting for those disclosures, following the procedures in this IRM or their local procedures. Contact the Disclosure Help Desk for any questions regarding the recordkeeping or accounting for disclosures of tax information. Compliance with this requirement may be validated through Quality Reviews.

The following items govern the authority pertaining to recordkeeping and accounting for disclosures of information:

Subsection (c) of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 USC 552a)

IRC 6103(p)(3)(A)

26 CFR 301.6103(p)(2)(B)-1

All IRS employees, contractors and state and federal agencies use this IRM to help comply with the recordkeeping and accounting for disclosures of tax information as governed by the Privacy Act and the Internal Revenue Code.

Business Units are responsible for establishing and documenting the program controls developed to oversee their program as well as ensuring employee compliance with all applicable elements of this IRM.

Refer to IRM 10.5.6.7, Privacy Act Accounting for Disclosures for additional information on Privacy Act accounting requirements.

When accounting for disclosures, determine how many accounting records to prepare by identifying the number of sources used to furnish information.

The IRS assigns an ADP source code to information collected, developed or maintained by a function.

The Privacy Act governs tax information of individuals; see Exhibit 11.3.37-2 for these sources.

For tax information not governed by the Privacy Act, the sources are those nontax systems of records listed in Exhibit 11.3.37-3.

When disclosing information from a tax system of records, use the following guidelines to determine the maximum number of accounting records to prepare:

one accounting for the return or return information involved and

one for each function whose systems of records are disclosed

Though a function might disclose information about an individual taxpayer from more than one of its systems of records, the function should prepare an accounting record for only the system of records providing the greatest amount of information.

This procedure is consistent with the spirit of IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) and subsection (c) of the Privacy Act. When disclosing from multiple systems of records, it is more practical to limit the number of sources in order to avoid confusion over the amount of information disclosed.

The Department of Justice is conducting a nontax federal criminal grand jury and makes an Ex Parte Court Order request under IRC 6103(i)(1) for the 2016 individual income tax return and related files and records of John Doe. After conducting a thorough search, the IRS employee locates and discloses the following information for tax year 2016:

a)

Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return

b)

Lien File (three pages)

c)

Taxpayer Delinquent Account (TDA) File (20 pages)

d)

Examination Administrative File (workpapers, affidavits, etc.) (50 pages)

e)

Classification and Examination Selection File (edited list of taxpayers selected for audit on which the taxpayer’s name appears) (two pages); and

f)

Audit Information Management System (AIMS) Record (computer printout indicating office where return was examined) (one page)

Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return

Taxpayer Delinquency Account File. (Although a disclosure was also made from the lien file, most of the information disclosed from Collection files was obtained from the TDA file) and

Examination Administrative File. (The greatest amount of information was disclosed from the administrative file.)

The number of disclosures that are recorded on a taxpayer’s account per disclosure record is equal to the number of tax periods reported on the record.

An accounting record for ABC Company indicates the IRS disclosed ABC’s Forms 1120 for tax years 2013-2016 to the Department of Labor. Thus, the taxpayer’s account in the accounting file records four disclosures. For disclosures involving multiple years and functional systems, the taxpayers account in the accounting file records accountings equal to the number of years multiplied by the number of functional systems.

Refer to Document 12990, Records and Information Management Records Control Schedules, Schedule 8 – Administrative and Organizational Records, Items 44 and 70, (Job No. N1-58-05-2) to ensure records, in hard copy and electronic format, are appropriately managed, retained, and archived in accordance with the National Archives and Records Administration approved records retention and disposition authority. Also refer to IRMs 1.15, Records and Information Management series for compliance with records and files management lifecycle (hardcopy and electronic), including creation, maintenance, retrieval, preservation and disposition of all records to avoid inadvertent/unlawful destruction of records.

Subsection (c) of the Privacy Act requires the IRS to maintain a record of the date, nature, and purpose of each disclosure and the name and address of the recipient of the information disclosed.

Capturing this same information also satisfies the accounting requirements of IRC 6103(p)(3)(A).

The IRS can account for the disclosure of returns/return information either manually or electronically. Generally, the IRS electronically posts disclosure information to a disclosure accounting file that is an adjunct to the Individual Master File (IMF) and Business Master File (BMF).

The business component that discloses the records is responsible for preparing the record of accounting. State or federal agencies making permissible disclosures to other state or federal agencies pursuant to an IRC 6103(p)(2)(B) agreement will maintain a permanent system of recording disclosures and provide to the IRS within 30 days after the close of each calendar year, a narrative of accounting for all disclosures of returns and return information made to the receiving agency, as required by 26 USC 6103(p)(3)(A) and 26 CFR 301.6103(p)(2)(B)-1 . Disclosure personnel are available to provide technical assistance.

A record of accounting for disclosure of returns/return information includes the following items:

Name Control: The first 4 alpha and/or numeric characters of the taxpayer’s last name (in the case of individuals) or the first four alpha and/or numeric characters of the business name (in the case of partnership, corporations, etc.)

Taxpayer Identification Number: The IRS identifies a taxpayer’s business account through the Employer Identification Number (EIN). The IRS identifies an individual taxpayer through the Social Security Number (SSN).

Tax Period: The Service uses a six digit code to indicate the end of the tax period for a given return. The first four digits represent the year (YYYY) and the next two digits represent the month (MM).

Disclosure Date: Date of the disclosure (MMDDYYYY). The Service uses an eight digit code to indicate the date. The first two digits represent the month (MM), the next two digits represent the day (DD) and the last four digits represent the year (YYYY).

Nature of Disclosure Code: A one digit code that represents the method of disclosure, i.e. a verbal disclosure, an electronic disclosure, inspection of records, or paper copy of record. See Exhibit 11.3.37-6, Multiple Record of Disclosure for a listing of the nature of disclosure codes.

Agency Code: A three digit code assigned to the agency, person or entity receiving a disclosure. See Exhibit 11.3.37-4, State Agency Codes and Exhibit 11.3.37-5, Federal Agency Codes.

Not all agency codes reflected in the Exhibit can be used to post a disclosure accounting, care should be taken to use correct agency codes to ensure accurate accountings.

Purpose Code: A two digit code that identifies the authorizing statute for the disclosure. See Exhibit 11.3.37-6, Multiple Record of Disclosure for a listing of the purpose codes.

ADP Source Code: A three digit code identifying the system of record of the disclosure. See Exhibit 11.3.37-1, Frequently Used ADP Source Codes Tax Systems of Records (Individuals Covered by the Privacy Act), Exhibit 11.3.37-2, ADP Source Codes - Tax Systems of Records (Systems Governed by the Privacy Act) , and Exhibit 11.3.37-3, ADP Source Code - Tax Information (Not Governed by the Privacy Act) for the listed ADP source codes.

The IRS developed Form 5466-B, Multiple Record of Disclosure, to record the information required by subsection (c) of the Privacy Act and IRC 6103(p)(3)(A). Form 5466-B records information using a combination of numerical codes and vertical entries. A computerized version of Form 5466-B may be used. Instructions for preparing Form 5466-B are in Exhibit 11.3.37-6, Multiple Record of Disclosure. The numerical codes used on the Form are listed in IRM Exhibit 11.3.37-1 through IRM Exhibit 11.3.37-5.

Unauthorized disclosures are not accounted for via Form 5466-B. Instead, they are reported to the Incident Management Team via the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Reporting Form as provided for in IRM 11.3.1, Introduction to Disclosure and IRM 1.4.63 Resource Guide for Managers, Roles and Responsibilities of Disclosure Managers.

Prepare separate Forms 5466-B to account for IMF and BMF disclosures.

If an IRS employee discloses tax information about an individual that is not contained in a Privacy Act system of records, the employee must still make an accounting to comply with IRC 6103(p)(3)(A).

A state tax agency requests a copy of the 2016 income tax return of John Doe. The IRS employee finds that no return has been filed and discloses this fact to the state tax agency. There is no Privacy Act accounting required since no record was disclosed. However, disclosure of the lack of filing must be accounted for under IRC 6103(p)(3)(A). The ADP Source Code used to account for the disclosure is source code 116, IMF, even though no record was actually disclosed from that system of records. To account for such a disclosure, the IRS employee uses the ADP Source Code for that system when preparing the accounting record on Form 5466-B.

Account for disclosures of returns and return information about corporations or other non-individual entities for which there is no ADP Source Code listed in Exhibit 11.3.37-2 as if the information related to individuals.

Forward the completed Form 5466-B to one of the following addresses no later than the last work day of the month.

IMF Form 5466-B are mailed to: Internal Revenue Service Attn: Batching MS 6052 333 W. Pershing Rd. Kansas City, MO 64108

BMF Form 5466-B are mailed to: Internal Revenue Service Attn: Batching MS 6054 1973 N. Rulon White Blvd. Ogden, UT 84404

Send Form 3210, Document Transmittal, with the Form 5466-B to verify receipt of the form.

Disclosure Managers should establish quality control procedures for review of any Form 5466-B prepared by their employees, prior to forwarding to Campus batching operations in order to ensure accuracy.

Campuses are responsible for posting the information contained on the forms to the Masterfile.

Certain disclosures that are made electronically include an automated accounting and do not require the preparation of Form 5466-B.

The Martinsburg or Detroit Computing Centers make disclosures through the Governmental Liaison Data Exchange Program (GLDEP) that are accounted for electronically (e.g., certain disclosures to state tax agencies, for state tax administration purposes under IRC 6103(d)).

Disclosure accountings are also electronically generated through the use of AIMS. AIMS is used to account for the automatic disclosure of copies of Revenue Agent Reports provided for by implementing agreements between IRS and state tax agencies.

Once a disclosure is accounted for, subsequent disclosures made from the same source, in response to the same request, and in the same manner as the initial disclosure, do not have to be accounted for again.

On September 1, 2017 an IRS employee provides return information from a Criminal Investigation administrative file (a portion of the Special Agent’s Report) to the U.S. Attorney pursuant to an IRC 6103(i)(1) request concerning the ABC Company. An entry is made on Form 5466-B to record the disclosure. On September 12, 2017 the IRS employee provides additional return information (copies of ABC Company’s checks, obtained by the Special Agent from a bank) in response to the same IRC 6103(i)(1) request. No new accountings are required. A description of the material and date of the disclosure are retained in the file, or the documents could be stamped or noted to indicate the date and recipient of the disclosure.

Consider using a narrative record of accounting in lieu of Form 5466-B when accounting for a large number of records.

Use the narrative accounting method where:

Resource savings would result.

The posting of individual accountings to taxpayer accounts (Transaction Code (TC) 120) is unavailable to the taxpayer, i.e. disclosures made under a condition of disclosure as stated in 5 USC 552a(b)(7).

Submit a narrative record of accounting for Ex Parte court orders that are sealed or not a matter of public record. The 5466-B accounting places a Transaction Code on the taxpayer account that can be requested and/or released on a transcript of account. A narrative accounting avoids the potential for taxpayer notification that their information has been disclosed, prior to the order being made a public record.

Decide whether a narrative accounting is appropriate on a case by case basis with the business unit supervisor.

A narrative record of accounting for disclosure of returns/return information summarizes the disclosures made includes the following items:

Category and number of taxpayers: IMF - number of IMF taxpayers whose information was disclosed BMF - number of BMF taxpayers whose information was disclosed Tax years - list tax periods disclosed. Provide listing separately for IMF and BMF if both are reported in the narrative accounting. Total number of disclosures (Number of IMF taxpayers, "+" number of BMF taxpayers "+" total tax periods disclosed = total number of disclosures)

Date of disclosure

Description of documents disclosed: Briefly describe what was disclosed (e.g., Transcripts, lack of record, copy of tax return)

Purpose of disclosure: Select appropriate purpose code from Exhibit 11.3.37-6 (e.g. IRC 6103(d) – Purpose Code 11

Name of agency receiving the information: Provide name and address of the agency receiving the information

Location of IRS office retaining a copy of disclosed information: Indicate IRS office location where a record of the disclosed information is maintained

Nature of documents disclosed: Describe method of disclosure (e.g., a verbal disclosure, an electronic disclosure, inspection of records, paper copy of record)

The business component that owns the records must prepare the accounting for disclosures. State or federal agencies making permissible disclosures to other state or federal agencies pursuant to an IRC 6103(p)(2)(B) agreement must also make any required accountings and forward their narrative to the IRS. Disclosure personnel are available to provide technical assistance.

The office that owns the records will make a narrative report and retain a copy of the report in order to satisfy section (c)(2) of the Privacy Act and IRC 6103(p)(3)(A). Forward the narrative record of accounting to the respective Business Unit coordinator, who will forward total disclosure counts to the appropriate Disclosure Policy and Program Operations (D-PPO) Analyst, with a copy maintained by the office making the disclosure. To the maximum extent possible, retain documentation that would enable identification of the specific taxpayers in the event it is necessary to construct such a list at some future time.

Note the file or maintain a copy of the accounting document to show the compilation of the disclosure accounting.

GLDS, Disclosure Policy and Program Operations is responsible for preparing an annual report of the authorized disclosures accounted for under IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) .

IRC 6103(p)(3)(B) and (C) define the scope, content and timing for submitting the report. IRS must submit the report no later than 90 days after the close of each calendar year, generally by March 31 for all accountable disclosures made during the prior calendar year. The report is a compilation of the number of records disclosed under the reportable provisions of IRC 6103(p)(3)(A). IRS functional business units report the record counts to D-PPO both systemically and manually. See IRM 11.3.37.4.1 below for processing guidance.

The D-PPO lead analyst will contact and engage the JCT each year for input into and feedback needed for changes to the scope and content of the report. The D-PPO analysts will send a request for disclosure counts in December to each of the business units and external sources that provided data from the prior year’s report providing any additional guidance or instructions. The business unit point of contact should timely advise D-PPO of any personnel changes prior to the annual engagement.

Throughout the year, but only as necessary, the D-PPO analyst will evaluate legislative changes to IRC 6103, new agreements, memoranda of understanding, and new systems for disclosing return information to determine if accountings are required. The D-PPO analyst will work with all IRS business units to provide awareness training in properly accounting for disclosures when required.

The report package will contain:

Cover transmittal letter

Report of disclosures under IRC 6103(p)(3)(B)

Public report of disclosures under IRC 6103(p)(3)(C), including appropriate reference and footnotes, and a brief explanation of the general purposes for each IRC section included in the report

Internal transmittal documents; Form 14074, Action Routing Sheet, Form 13839-A, Note to Reviewer, and any other explanatory documents to facilitate the review and approval of the report package

After compiling all data and preparing the report, PGLD management, Chief Counsel (Procedure & Administration), the Chief Operating Officer, and the Commissioner’s Chief of Staff will review and approve the report package for the Commissioner’s signature. Legislative Affairs delivers the report to the JCT Chief of Staff.

Disclosure Policy and Program Operations relies on business and functional units that make accountable disclosures to maintain records and report the number of disclosures, either systemically within various applications or manually.

IRC 6103(p)(3)(A) requires, with limited exceptions enumerated in the statute, the IRS to maintain a permanent system of standardized records or accountings of all requests for inspection or disclosure of returns or return information. These systems may be automated within an information technology application or manually maintained.

The exceptions are specified by IRC 6103 subsection in IRC 6103(p)(3)(A). If the subsection is not specifically listed in IRC 6103(p)(3)(A), employees making authorized disclosures must account for the disclosure.

IRC 6103(e), disclosures of tax returns or return information to a person with a material interest (e.g. the taxpayer’s return to the taxpayer) is listed so no accounting is required. IRC 6103(d), disclosures to state tax agencies is not listed so any disclosure under this subsection requires accounting.

Unauthorized disclosures are not reported in the annual JCT report.

If the IRS employee prepares and submits Form 5466-B, Multiple Record of Disclosure, the employee’s actions are complete as that process captures the disclosure accounting in the Disclosure Masterfile.

If the IRS employee making an accountable disclosure does not prepare and submit Form 5466-B, additional steps are necessary to ensure the JCT report captures the accountings.

Each business unit is responsible for developing procedures for compiling narrative accounting memoranda or other recordation accounting for disclosures and providing summaries to D-PPO.

Business units or functions must submit their summary of accountings to D-PPO no later than January 31st of each year. D-PPO encourages earlier or more frequent reporting (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or ad hoc) if the circumstances allow.

Examples of data sources and functions include, but are not limited to:

Disclosure Areas East and West – Technical Advisors will compile a summary narrative accounting report from their respective Disclosure Offices for disclosures not accounted for on previously submitted Forms 5466-B.

GLDS Data Services – will compile a summary and detailed report of all accountable disclosures made through the GLDEP, the Reimbursable Programs, and related extracts.

Information Technology will provide a compilation summary and detailed report of all disclosures reported from the Disclosure Masterfile.

Statistics of Income, a function of Research, Applied Analytics & Statistics (RAAS) will provide a compilation summary and detailed report of all statistical disclosures made under IRC 6103(j), to the JCT under IRC 6103(f), or any other project from which accountable disclosures are made, including a brief explanation of each project.

Large Business & International (LB&I) will provide a summary and detailed report of all bulk and specific disclosures to competent authorities under IRC 6103(k)(4).

Other business units and functions that provide reports of disclosures for various programs and projects include; Examination Operational Automated Database (EOAD), SS-8 Determinations, Excise Summary Terminal Activity Reporting System (EXSTARS)/Joint Operations Center (JOC), TE/GE/6104(c), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Excluded from this list are disclosures reported systemically into the Disclosure Masterfile (DMF) or through the use of Form 5466-B, Multiple Record of Disclosure.
