For any streamline cases involving EIP 3 that do not meet the scenarios described above, prepare and email a Form 4442 using the subject line: "EIP 3 - Streamline" (or similar) to ITVA HQ. Document all research completed in a CII case note and/or on Form 4442. Attach Form 4442 to your CII case. Suspend the case awaiting a response from ITVA HQ. Upon receipt, the account will be researched. A response on how to address the account will be received within 7 business days.
For cases that meet non-streamline criteria for the tax year EIP 3 was based on, follow the procedures outlined in the table below according to the determination you have made:

If the invalid taxpayer received a portion of EIP 3, reduce the amount of EIP 3 on the module to reflect the exact amount of EIP 3 received by the valid taxpayer. Input TC 290 .00 with BS 05, SC 0, the appropriate CRN(s) and amount(s), RC(s), and HC 4. If TC 971 AC 850 was input, post delay this adjustment by 1 cycle.
Input TC 290 .00 with BS 05, SC 0, RC 139, and HC 3 (4 if issuing a manual refund). Post delay this adjustment by 1 cycle (2 cycles if TC 971 AC 850 was input).
Create a Dummy tax year 2021 module for the assigned IRSN. Follow procedures in IRM 21.5.2.4.23.10, Moving Refunds, to move the lost EIP 3 TC 846 to the IRSN module. Refer to IRM 25.23.4.20.3.3, Economic Impact Payment (EIP) - Account Balancing Adjustments, to determine if additional actions are required to balance the accounts.
