Records Control Schedules – 16 Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Accountable Officer Records
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE RECORDS CONTROL SCHEDULE (RCS) 16
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (CFO) AND ACCOUNTABLE OFFICER RECORDS
The records covered by this Schedule are created and/or accumulated by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) organization, other business operating division budget and finance functions, and Servicewide Accountable Officers (including staff in the individual business operating divisions who oversee purchases, authorizations, and vouchers).
Accountable Officers' accounts are created in most operating units and include record copies of all records concerned with the accounting for, availability, and status of IRS funds.
There are several types of "Accountable Officer," such as:
a. Collecting Officer, who receives monies owed to the Federal Government and ensures that it is
credited to the proper account;
b. Disbursing Officer (including the operating office IRS credit card holder), who is responsible for
providing documentation to the CFO and the General Accounting Office (GAO) since he/she accomplishes the actual payment of public monies to Federal creditors; and
c. Certifying Officer, whose signature on a summary attests to the authenticity of vouchers listed on a
schedule.
Budget and apportionment records include various files accumulated by the IRS in the course of formulating its budget for submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and to the Congress, in defending its request for funding before both sides, and after enactment of an appropriation bill to ensure the funds are used in a way as to suffice for the apropriate period of time.
Budget records are normally created at all levels of the IRS. They show proposals from all operating levels as well as Servicewide work done by formally organized budget offices. The records consist of detailed work papers and budgetary statements developed by single operating units, the more significant budget statement and related papers representing consolidated submissions prepared at the bureau or equivalent level and forwarded to the IRS CFO, and the records at the highest level pertaining to the budget submission for the entire agency.
This transmits revised text for Records Control Schedule (RCS) 16 for Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Accountable Officer Records. This RCS includes new Item 20 for the Business Performanace Management System (BPMS), and new Items 26-27 for Governance Board Policy Records.
References to TRAS have been removed from this Schedule; all legacy paper (travel) records should have been destroyed.
General Records Schedules (GRS) authorities have been updated to reflect new National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) numbering scheme and retentions, including the GRS disposition for system documentation. For any (temporary) electronic system in this Schedule, documentation (i.e. data dictionary records, file specifications, code books, user guides - formerly “Item D” for most systems) must be maintained for at least 5 years after the project/activity/ transaction is completed or superseded, or the associated system is terminated, or the associated data is migrated to a successor system (GRS 3.1, Item 051; Job No. DAA-GRS-2013-0005-0003). Item 6 relating to GAO Exceptions Files and Item 13 relating to Telegrams have been rescinded by NARA (GRS Transmittal 23), and removed from this Schedule. Records previously covered by these items no longer exist. NARA also rescinded Item 10 relating to Federal Personnel Surety Bond Files (GRS Transmittal 23) . According to 31 USC 9302, surety bonds posted by the government concerning Federal personnel were discontinued by Public Law 97-258 in 1982.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE RECORDS CONTROL SCHEDULE (RCS) 18
ENTERPRISE COMPUTING CENTER - DETROIT
The records covered by this Schedule are created by the Enterprise Computing Center - Detroit (ECC Detroit) or submitted to the ECC - Detroit as input documents for use in the performance of the mission of the ECC - Detroit.
The Detroit Computing Center is responsible for the performance of non-master file data processing operations for the Service. It is a computer service center, performing projects for clients who are usually the directors of functions at the IRS Headquarters; also, some bureaus of the Department of the Treasury; and some that are reimbursable for other government agencies. Performance is broadly under two major categories:
systems design, development, and maintenance, and
processing and review of products.
Such projects provide for the preparation of management information reports; fiscal reports; statistics of income; taxpayer compliance measurement program, including both work progress reports and special studies; special tax research; personnel analysis reports; work planning and control reports; data for Planning-Programming-Budgeting and other purposes; special tabulations and comparisons for State and other Federal agencies; statistical information for management control by Headquarters and Regional officials; and other special applications not directly involved in the Business, Residual or Individual Master File Systems.
This transmits revised text for Records Control Schedule (RCS) 18 for Enterprise Computing CenterDetroit. The records disposition authorizations are based on the administrative determinations of the Internal Revenue Service and disposal authorities granted by the Archivist of the United States.
General Records Schedules (GRS) authorities have been updated to reflect new National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) numbering scheme and retentions, including the GRS disposition for system documentation. For any (temporary) electronic system in this Schedule, documentation (i.e. data dictionary records, file specifications, code books, user guides - formerly “Item D” for most systems) must be maintained for at least 5 years after the project/activity/ transaction is completed or superseded, or the associated system is terminated, or the associated data is migrated to a successor system (GRS 3.1, Item 051; Job No. DAA-GRS-2013-0005-0003).
Series Items 12, 13, 17, 18, 42, 43, 45-47 are no longer created in this program area and will be removed from this Schedule in 2038, when legacy records reach their final disposition date.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE RECORDS CONTROL SCHEDULE (RCS) 23
TAX ADMINISTRATION – EXAMINATION
The records covered by this Schedule are created in the Examination organizations in the Business Operating Divisions, Detroit Computing Center and campuses (service centers), and accumulated in the Services and Enforcement organization, Headquarters, campus, and field offices.
The records fall into several major groups which represent the administrative and programs functions. They include:
a. Administrative records pertaining to the overall administration and operating of the Examination organizations.
b. Records which document the development of policies and the administration of programs pertaining to (1) the selection of returns for examination, (2) the examination and/or investigation of all classes of tax returns (with the exception of alcohol, tobacco and firearms), (3) the determination of correct tax liabilities and deficiencies, and penalties where applicable, and (4) the disposition of claims for reward and offers in compromise.
This transmits revised text for Records Control Schedule (RCS) 23 for Tax Administration-Examination. The records disposition authorizations are based upon administrative determinations of the Internal Revenue Service and approvals granted by the Archivist of the United States. Changes to this RCS include series title and disposition updates to Items 17 and 41 ( Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) Audit Reports and Related Workpapers and Correspondence ), a description update to Item 77 ( Federal, State, and Local Referrals, Audit Reports Not Covered/Covered By An Agreement ), and notice of disposition approval for Item 76 ( Inventory Validation Listing ) and Item 78 (Form 8973, Certified Professional Employer Organization/Customer Reporting Agreement ). Item 56 ( Coordinated Examination Status Report ) is no longer created and has been removed from this Schedule. Items 60 ( Tax Auditor’s Daily Activity Record ) and 63 ( Examination Technical Time Report ) are obsolete and now covered under Item 85 ( Examination Returns Control System, ERCS) in this Schedule.
General Records Schedules (GRS) authorities have been updated to reflect new National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) numbering scheme and retentions, including the minimum GRS disposition for system documentation. For any (temporary) electronic system in this Schedule, documentation (i.e. data dictionary records, file specifications, code books, user guides - formerly “Item D” for most systems) must be maintained for at least 5 years after the project/activity/ transaction is completed or superseded, or the associated system is terminated, or the associated data is migrated to a successor system (GRS 3.1, Item 051; Job No. DAA-GRS-2013-0005-0003).

Records Control Schedules – 24 Tax Administration – Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE)
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE RECORDS CONTROL SCHEDULE (RCS) 24
TAX ADMINISTRATION – TAX EXEMPT AND GOVERNMENT ENTITIES (TE/GE)
The records covered by this Records Control Schedule (RCS) or “Schedule” are created and/or maintained by the Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) Division. These records pertain to administrative and program functions of TE/GE activities in the review and processing of Employee Plans (EP), Exempt Organizations (EO), and Government Entities (GE) documents pursuant to Internal Revenue tax laws.
Records series are listed in four organizational/functional categories:
- General Records (Administrative Records, Office Legal Files, Published Guidance, and Projects), Items 1-51
- Rulings and Agreements, Items 52-59
- Examination, Items 60-75
- TE/GE Computer Systems, Items 76-95
All references to disposals “after end of year” mean end of fiscal year, unless otherwise noted.
When this Schedule was last published in November 2017, most items were pending National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) disposition approval. A TE/GE litigation hold was also in effect. Since then, the Archivist of the United States approved disposition updates under Job No. DAA-0058-20160004 (on November 4, 2019), and the broad litigation hold on TE/GE records has been lifted (announced in a series of June 2019 TE/GE communications). TE/GE employees are reminded that other ongoing (litigation) holds still exist and there are obligations to preserve related documents. Members of the TE/GE Records Retention Team are available to assist with questions. Please email your questions to *TE/GE-HCR-LitigationHold.
Other changes to this RCS include a recent disposition update to Item 11 for Audit Reports, and the merging of Items 76 and 77 under Item 76 for Web-Based Employee Technical Time System (WebETS). Other TE/GE computer systems have been recently approved or pending NARA approval for description and/or disposition updates. Those systems are the Reporting Compliance Case Management System (RCCMS) under Item 79, the Return Inventory and Classification System (RICS) under Item 82, and EO Correspondence - ECM (Enterprise Case Management) under Item 87.
Systems awaiting new disposition approvals are the Modified Employee Plans (EP) / Exempt Organization (EO) Determination System (MEDS) [formerlyTax Exempt Determination System (TEDS)] under Item 80, the Political Action Committee/Political Organization Filing and Disclosure (PAC/POFD) under Item 84, Letter and Information Network User-fee System (LINUS) under Item 85, Exempt Organization Determination System (EDS) under Item 88, and Certified Professional Employer Organization (CPEO) and 501C4 Registration System and Form 8976 (Notice of Intent to Operate Under Section 501(c)(4)) under item 89.
Publication of disposition authorities for the Annual Employer’s Return for Employee’s Pension or Profit- Sharing Plans has moved to RCS 24, item 95 from RCS 29, item 122 and includes an update to the IRS data repository from EFAST to EPMF.
General Records Schedules (GRS) authorities have also been updated to reflect new National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) numbering scheme and retentions, including the minimum GRS disposition for system documentation. For any (temporary) electronic system in this Schedule, unless stipulated otherwise, documentation (i.e. data dictionary records, file specifications, code books, user guides - formerly “Item D” for most systems) must be maintained for at least 5 years

Part VII - Private Debt Collection (PDC) Program Records. (Items 200-252)
Note: Part VII, Items 200-234 relate to President George Bush’s October 22, 2004, signing of the American Jobs Creation (AJC) Act.

That PDC initiative ramped-down in Fiscal Year (FY) 2010. Most records have reached their final retention and should have already been destroyed. Other records are close (including Items 209, 216, 218, 219 and 220) and should be monitored for disposal. PDC Items 200-234 will stay in this Schedule until all items have reached their final retentions, approximately 2025. A new IRS records retention plan has been approved for the PDC initiative provided for in December 2015’s, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

Records Control Schedules – 29 Tax Administration – Wage and Investment (W&I) Records
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE RECORDS CONTROL SCHEDULE (RCS) 29
TAX ADMINISTRATION – WAGE AND INVESTMENT (W&I) RECORDS
This Schedule covers records created and/or maintained by IRS Submissions Processing Campuses in carrying out their functions pertaining to:
revenue collecting and accounting;
processing, analysis and disposition of tax returns, tax information documents and
related records;
mailing of tax forms;
transcription of statistical information; and
preparation of special reports.
This transmits revised text for Records Control Schedule (RCS) 29 for Tax Administration-Wage and Investment (W&I) Records. The records disposition authorizations in this Schedule are based on the administrative determinations of the Internal Revenue Service and disposal authorities granted by the Archivist of the United States. RCS updates include a change in series title and description for Items 56(3) and 58(3), as well as disposition updates for these two items and Item 56(4)(c). Item 61 retention for Estate Tax Returns (for collection actions and for generation-skipping transfer tax considerations) has been reduced. Item 127 also had a slight change in title to Fingerprint Records and Professional Credentials of e-file Providers and some disposition updates to reflect current recordkeeping.
Other updates include new Item 448 and NARA-approved retention for Link and Learn Taxes, and description updates to Item 442A, IRS-USDA, Disclosure of Tax Information Files . Item 122 for the Annual Employer’s Return for Employee’s Pension or Profit-Sharing Plans has moved to RCS 24, item 95. Other items (128, 204, 209, 213, 218, 238, 246, 413, 422 and 424) in the Schedule have been reserved with notice that related records are obsolete, no longer accumulating and eligible for immediate destruction.
General Records Schedules (GRS) authorities have been updated to reflect new National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) numbering scheme and retentions, including the minimum GRS disposition for system documentation. For any (temporary) electronic system in this Schedule, documentation (i.e. data dictionary records, file specifications, code books, user guides - formerly “Item D” for most systems) must be maintained for at least 5 years after the project/activity/ transaction is completed or superseded, or the associated system is terminated, or the associated data is migrated to a successor system (GRS 3.1, Item 051; Job No. DAA-GRS-2013-0005-0003).
To facilitate reference, this Schedule contains a Forms Listing cross-indexed to specific items. A previously published Alphabetical Listing has been removed.
Notes:
Documents eligible for immediate destruction which would normally be retired or returned as refiles to a Records Center, but are physically located in the Service Centers should be destroyed at the Service Centers when no longer needed. DO NOT RETIRE TO THE RECORDS CENTER.
Temporary Paper/Microfilm Records Converted To Digital Images. The approved retention period for temporary paper/microfilm records must be applied to scanned copies of the same records. The approved retention period for temporary paper/microfilm records must be applied to copies of those records in digital format. The original (hard copy) records can be destroyed upon verification that the electronic versions are accurate reproductions and saved in an approved electronic recordkeeping system, unless legal or other business requirements preclude early destruction of the originals.
