Caution:

Internal Revenue Manual Part 21. Customer Account Services · 2026-10-03 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · United States

Be very careful when entering the IRS Received Date. A typo in this field can cause cases to be put into aged inventory, which results in automatic letters to be sent in error, affects your own aged case listing, and causes delays in getting certifications to the taxpayer.

Certification Purpose – Income Tax or VAT: Line 9 on Page 2 of Form 8802 indicates whether the application is Income Tax or VAT. Click on the appropriate button on the Data Entry screen. Do not enter any NAICS codes.

If neither box is checked on Line 9, click the "Income Tax" button.

If "Other" is checked on Line 9, click the "Income Tax" button.

If both "Income Tax" and "VAT" are checked, you must create a separate record for each.
