The TC 971 AC 199 MISC field may also provide a reason why the EIP was not allowed.
A TC 971 AC 199 with a MISC field including "ADDREB" in positions 11-16 is placed on the entity (CC IMFOLE) of taxpayers who have been issued an EIP 2.
A TC 971 AC 199 with a MISC field including "2021AREBXXXX" with "REB" in positions 14-16 and "XXXX" representing the source used to determine eligibility is placed on the entity (CC IMFOLE) of taxpayers who have been issued an EIP 3. A TC 971 AC 199 with a MISC field including "2021AREBADJ" will identify adjustments to EIP 3 where the net adjustment is positive. A TC 971 AC 199 with MISC field including "2021ARVREB" will identify adjustments to EIP 3 where the net adjustment is negative.
Refunds of EIP 1 can be identified by the following characteristics on CC IMFOLT for tax year 2020:
Refund date in 2020
TC 846 with "99" in the 12th and 13th positions of the DLN (for most cases)

Pre-paid debit cards for EIP 3 can be identified by a TC 971 AC 199 with a MISC field "BFS DEBIT III" on the entity (CC IMFOLE).
EIPs that have been returned will credit the module with a TC 740 or TC 841. These transactions will result in the systemic reversal of the credits creating the payment (i.e., CRN 338, etc.). Paper checks returned as undeliverable due to the address will be reissued once a new address is available.
