Case Closing Procedures

4.75.16.1 
(05-13-2003)
Introduction

  1. This IRM contains specific procedures for exempt organization group
    managers and examiners on how to properly close a completed examination. It
    also includes guidelines for preparing the closing documents and assembling
    the case file.

4.75.16.2 
(05-13-2003)
Pre-closing Review of Case File by Examiner

  1. The examiner should review the workpapers and reports for completeness
    and accuracy before closing the case to the group manager. The examiners
    review should include, but not be limited to, answering the following questions.

    1. Does the report of examination and/or closing letter contain grammatical,
      spelling or typographical errors?

      Note:

      The examiner can usually eliminate
      grammatical, spelling and typographical errors just by proofreading the entire
      report of examination and/or closing letter after they are completed.

    2. If a Form 5666, TE/GE Referral Information Report, has been prepared for
      a subsequent year examination, have copies of all workpapers that would assist
      the subsequent examiner been attached to the Form 5666?

    3. Have all of the items in the heading of Form 5772, EO Workpaper Summary,
      been completed correctly?

      Reminder:

      The examiner should verify
      that the total hours shown on the Form 5772, EO Workpaper Summary, agree with
      the time on the Form 5464, Case Chronology Record; Form(s) 5599, TE/GE Examined
      Closing Record; and Form 6490, TE/GE Technical Time Report. If the Form 5772
      is prepared using a workcenter, the time may be incorrect if the Form 5772
      was printed before all work was completed on the case. The correct time may
      be annotated by hand on the Form 5772 or the time corrected in the workcenter
      and the Form 5772 reprinted.

      Exception:

      The disposal
      codes and descriptions and letter number will be entered by the reviewer in
      unagreed cases.

    4. Do the conclusions on the Form 5773, TEGE Workpaper Summary Continuation
      Sheet, agree with the conclusions in the workpapers and reports of examination
      or closing letter? Discrepancies between the conclusions on the Form 5773
      and the conclusions in the supplemental workpapers, the report of examination,
      and/or closing letter can occur when an initial conclusion entered on the
      Form 5773 is subsequently found to be incorrect and the comments on the Form
      5773 are not revised to reflect the final conclusion. Errors of this type
      can be easily prevented if the examiner reviews the conclusions on the Form
      5773 and the conclusions in the supplemental workpapers, report of examination,
      and closing letter before the case is closed. If the workpapers have been
      printed, the corrections may be handwritten.

      Example:

      The
      examiner initially concluded the receipts from Clark, Inc. the corporation
      that published the organizations journal were unrelated business income from
      paid advertising. This conclusion was entered on the Form 5773 before the
      closing conference. At the closing conference the organization provided the
      examiner with additional documents proving the receipts from Clark, Inc. were
      royalties and therefore, were not taxable as unrelated business income. A
      no change letter was issued. The Form 5773 was not updated after the closing
      conference. Therefore, when the case was closed, the conclusions on the Form
      5773 did not agree with the closing letter or the workpapers since the conclusions
      on the Form 5773 continue to state the receipts from the journal were unrelated
      business income.

      Example:

      The examiners initial computation
      of unrelated business income did not include mailing expenses related to the
      unrelated business income. The error was discovered and the report of examination
      and agreement form were corrected but the examiner did not update the initial
      computation in the workpapers or note that it had been superseded. Therefore,
      the conclusions in the workpapers did not agree with the report of examination.
      This error may result in unnecessary time being expended by the group manager
      or reviewer during case reviews because he/she must determine which computation
      is correct.

    5. Has Form 5774, Private Foundation Workpapers, been prepared and completed
      correctly if applicable?

    6. Are ALL of the workpapers organized in a logical
      manner and indexed?

    7. Are all workpapers labeled with the taxpayers name, title of the workpaper,
      the date completed and the examiners initials?

      Exception:

      If a workpaper contains multiple pages, the label may be entered on the first
      page only. When the label is entered on the first page only, the total number
      of pages must be entered, e.g., Analysis of Entertainment Expenses, 3 pages.

    8. Are all workpapers legible?

    9. Is the purpose of and conclusions drawn from each workpaper or group of
      workpapers clear?

      Note:

      If copies of the taxpayers records are secured and
      placed in the workpapers, it is imperative that the reason for inclusion be
      noted on the copies or on a coversheet preceding the copies.

      Caution:

      If original documents or copies of documents are related
      to an issue that may be litigated, any notations should be entered on a duplicate
      copy of the document made for this purpose, a workpaper, or a coversheet rather
      than on the original document or the original copy of the document.

    10. Have all unnecessary or duplicate workpapers been purged? The agent is
      responsible for disposing of any reports and/or workpapers which are no longer
      needed prior to submitting the case to the group manager for closing.

      Caution:

      Workpaper and reports that

      were provided to the taxpayer
       during the examination should
      not be purged. If the workpaper or report is changed, the original workpaper
      or report should be annotated in the top margin with a comment such as,
      “Superseded by Workpaper C14″
      or
      “Superseded by
      Report Dated 12/2/2003″
      in bold letters.

      Caution:

      If the case involves a declaratory judgment issue, the examiner should refer
      to IRM 4.75.32, Declaratory Judgment and Administrative Record, before defacing
      or destroying any original documents or copies of documents provided to the
      examiner by the organization.

    11. Does the Case Chronology Record reflect complete and accurate documentation
      of the case history including the dates follow-ups were scheduled?

    12. Have all of the group managers actions on the case been documented in
      the Case Chronology Record and initialed by the group manager?

      Note:

      If the
      group managers actions have been documented but have not been initialed,
      the examiner should flag the entries that require the group managers initials
      with a post-it note or as otherwise instructed.

4.75.16.3 
(05-13-2003)
Statute Control Procedures

  1. The group manager will ensure agreed cases have at least 180 days remaining
    on the statute of limitations and unagreed cases have 270 days remaining,
    when they are closed from the group.

    Note:

    All examination cases involving
    revocation or modification of exempt status or reclassification of foundation
    status are considered unagreed for statute control purposes.

  2. All cases, including related cases, submitted for technical advice must
    have one year remaining on the statute of limitations before being sent to
    EO Mandatory Review for processing.

  3. The group manager will prepare a memo providing an explanation for all
    cases submitted with less than the required time frames remaining on the statute
    of limitations and attach to the case file.

  4. All cases with less than 8 months (270 days) on the statutory period
    will be placed in a red folder. If the statute expiration is subsequently
    extended to a period greater than 8 months the case should be removed from
    the red folder.

  5. For any case being transferred between locations/areas, closed to EO
    Examinations Special Support Unit (ESS), or closed to Mandatory Review with
    less than 60 days remaining on the statute, the group manager must notify
    the receiving manager of the transfer by telephone. This should be done with
    the knowledge and concurrence of the respective Area Manager. The group manager
    will hand carry, use overnight mail, or an express delivery service to ship
    the case to the receiving group. The group manager will follow-up to ensure
    the case is received timely.

4.75.16.4 
(05-13-2003)
Guidelines for Timely Closing Cases

  1. Examinations should generally be closed within the national established
    time-frames. Any delays or extended periods of inactivity must be adequately
    documented on the Case Chronology Record.

  2. The established time-frames for closing cases are as follows:

    1. Ten (10) calendar days for the examiner to close agreed or no-change examinations.
      The 10 days start the date the no-change determination is made, usually the
      date of last taxpayer contact when the examiner discusses the examination
      results with the taxpayer.

    2. Twenty (20) calendar days for examiner to close unagreed examinations.
      The 20 days start the date of final closing conference or the date a closing
      conference was declined.

    3. Ten (10) calendar days for the manager to initial and date the case chronology
      after receipt from the examiner.

  3. The case chronology should reflect the date the case is closed by the
    examiner and the date the manager approves the case for closing.

4.75.16.5 
(05-13-2003)
Preparing AIMS Closing Documents

  1. The examiner is responsible for preparing the appropriate form to close
    an examination case off the Automated Information Management System (AIMS)
    Master File (MF) or Non-master File (NMF).

  2. The following forms are used to close EO accounts off AIMS:

    1. Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record

    2. Form 4881, Chapter 42 Taxes-Disqualified Person/Foundation Manager

    3. Form 5596, EO Non-Examined Closings

4.75.16.5.1 
(05-13-2003)
Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record

  1. The Form 5599, TE/GE Examined Closing Record, is used for closing examined
    returns and surveyed claims off AIMS at the close of the examination. The
    form is used to close both master file and non-master file accounts and is
    also used to update the BMF, Business Master File, with assessment and closing
    information. The examiner is responsible for entering certain information
    on the Form 5599. In most cases, this requires determining the correct disposal
    code. Refer to Exhibit 4.75.16-1, Form
    5599 – Required Entries and Instructions for Completion, for instructions
    on completing the Form 5599.

4.75.16.5.1.1 
(05-13-2003)
Disposal Codes

  1. The examiner is generally required to determine the correct disposal
    code and enter the two-digit number on the appropriate line of the Form 5599.
    The exception is for unagreed examinations. In these cases, the Review Staff
    will enter the correct code. For assistance in determining the correct disposal
    code, examiners should refer to Document 6379, Exempt Organizations Management
    Information Systems Codes – Quick Reference for EO Employees. This booklet
    is published at the beginning of each fiscal year. Since codes may change,
    examiners should refer to the current version of the booklet to ensure the
    correct code is used.

  2. AIMS closing procedures allow for one disposal code that best describes
    the principal examination result. In cases involving multiple issues, the
    examiner should determine which one has the highest priority. A list of disposal
    codes by priority can be found in Document 6379.

  3. Tax change disposal codes would take precedence over disposal codes
    involving advisory and notification letters.

  4. Related returns being examined simultaneously will normally be considered
    separately and closed with the disposal code appropriate for the results of
    each return. The exception to this would be for an examination resulting in
    no changes to the primary return, but where there is an adjustment or delinquency
    issue associated with a related return. In this case, the appropriate disposal
    code for the primary return would be 04, Changes to Related Return; or 05,
    Delinquent Related Return Secured.

4.75.16.5.2 
(05-13-2003)
Form 5596, EO Non-Examined Closings

  1. The Form 5596, EO Non-Examined Closings, is used to close non-examined
    BMF or NMF accounts (except surveyed claims) off AIMS. Instructions for completing
    the form can be found in IRM Handbook 7.3.1 Chapter 2 Exhibit 7.3.1.2-29.

    Note:

    IRM Handbook 7.3.1 Chapter 2 has been revised and will be reissued as IRM
    4.5.1, TEGE AIMS Processing.

4.75.16.5.3 
(05-13-2003)
Deleting AIMS Accounts

  1. In cases where an AIMS/BMF account or an AIMS/NMF account has been established
    in error, the examiner will use the following procedures to delete the account
    on the AIMS database.

    Note:

    A RICS printed return is not a
    filed return for purposes of these instructions. Thus, a RICS return established
    in error when the filed return has NOT been secured
    may be deleted by following these instructions.

    Caution:

    If Area has possession of the filed return, these procedures can
    NOT     be used to delete an AIMS/BMF account. In these cases the group
    manager or examiner will close the AIMS account using one of the following
    disposal codes.

    Disposal Code Description
    31 Survey Before Assignment
    32 Survey After Assignment
    36 Survey After Initial Contact

    1. The group manager or examiner will prepare a Form 5596, TEGE Non-Examined
      Closing. Disposal Code 33, Error Accounts with no Returns, will be entered
      to delete BMF accounts and Disposal Code 99, Information Report and Miscellaneous,
      will be entered to delete NMF accounts.

    2. Form 10904, Request for Record Deletion from AIMS, should be prepared
      and approved by the Area Manager. If the account is in status 12 or above,
      the examiner should include a statement regarding taxpayer contact on Form
      10904.

  2. If contact has been made with the taxpayer, the examiner will prepare
    a letter advising the taxpayer their return(s) or books and records (if no
    return is due or filed) are not going to be examined at this time. The letter
    must contain statement,
    “Do not consider this as an examination
    that resulted in no change to your tax liabilities or your status status.
    You were not examined for these years.”

  3. Approved deletion requests should be forwarded to:

    Internal Revenue Service
    TEGE:EO:E:PR:SS
    MC 4910 DAL
    1100

4.75.16.6.4.2 
(05-13-2003)
Referral Revocation Cases

  1. Form 5666 will be prepared in all cases involving revocations except
    the revocation of a private foundation. It will be prepared by the EO examiner
    prior to submitting the case to Mandatory Review.

    Note:

    A referral is not
    made in cases involving the revocation of a private foundation because EO
    Examinations has examination jurisdiction over taxable returns, e.g. Forms
    1120, filed by a revoked private foundation.

    Note:

    The Form 5666 will
    remain in the case file until a final determination is made. If the revocation
    is sustained, the Mandatory Reviewer or Appeals Officer will date Form 5666
    and route it to EO Classification. If the revocation is not sustained, the
    Mandatory Reviewer or Appeals Office will destroy the Form 5666 and attachments.

  2. The Form 5666 will recommend examination for either the first year in
    which the organization is a taxable entity or for an appropriate subsequent
    year. Information submitted with the Form 5666 will include the following
    information:

    1. A statement that the organizations exemption has been revoked.

    2. The effective date of the revocation action.

    3. The date the organization was incorporated. If the organization is an
      unincorporated association, the date the association was formed.

    4. A statement that, as a taxable entity, the organization should be reporting
      any income, employment and excise taxes for which it may be liable.

    5. A list of the taxable returns secured by the examiner, including the form
      number, MFT and the tax period and a statement that the original returns are
      being processed by EO Examinations.

    6. A statement that contributions to the organization are no longer deductible
      as charitable contributions, if applicable.

    7. The effective date after which contributions are no longer deductible
      as charitable contributions, if known.

    8. If discrepancy adjustments have not been proposed, list the names and
      social security numbers or employer identification numbers of contributors
      who will not be able to deduct contributions made before the revocation is/was
      published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

      Note:

      A contributor can not deduct
      contributions prior to the date an announcement is published in the Internal
      Revenue Bulletin, if the contributor: 1. had knowledge of the revocation of
      the ruling or determination letter, 2. was aware that such revocation was
      imminent, or 3. was in part responsible for, or was aware of, the activities
      or deficiencies on the part of the organization which gave rise to the revocation.
      See Treas. Reg. §1.509(a)-7(a) and Rev Proc 82-39, 1982-2 C.B.

  3. The following documents will be attached to the Form 5666:

    1. A copy of the Report of Examination in agreed IRC 501(c)(other) cases.

      Note:

      In agreed cases, the Mandatory Reviewer will attach a copy of the letter transmitting
      the report to the taxpayer. In unagreed cases, the Reviewer or Appeals Office
      will attach the revocation letter or conference report after a final determination
      is made.

    2. A copy of the exempt organization returns being converted, e.g., Form
      990.

    3. A copy of any taxable returns which have been obtained.

    4. If no taxable return has been obtained because the organization did not
      submit appropriate returns as requested by the EO examiner, or because the
      conversion of the Form 990 to Form 1120 or Form 1041 is complex and requires
      the expertise of income tax examiners, a statement to that effect and a recommendation
      that the return be secured by LMSB or SBSE.

    5. Any pertinent financial or other information or documents.

4.75.16.6.4.3 
(05-13-2003)
Referral Other Issues

  1. If information is discovered during the examination of an exempt organization
    that will effect the tax liability of individual or taxable entity and the
    issue can not be addressed using discrepancy adjustment procedures, the examiner
    will prepare a Form 5666.

4.75.16.6.5 
(05-13-2003)
Form 4760, Processing Record for Agreed Unpaid Deficiency Cases
Requiring Prompt Assessment or Overassessment

  1. Quick assessment procedures must be used to process unpaid, agreed deficiency
    cases of $50,000 or more. Agreed deficiency cases of $50,000 and over must
    be manually assessed within twenty-two (22) calendar days of the received
    date of the signed agreement form.

    Note:

    The term
    “deficiency
    ”
    refers to the sum of all deficiencies and penalties for any one taxpayer,
    for all tax periods in the case file, without regard to any offsetting overassessment.

  2. Examiners must complete the Form 4760; Processing Record for Agreed
    Unpaid Deficiency Cases Requiring Prompt Assessment or Overassessment, for
    all cases with agreed unpaid deficiencies or overassessments of $50,000 or
    more. These forms may also be used for agreed unpaid deficiencies or overassessments
    of $10,000 or more. The Form 4760 is attached to the front of the case file.
    Each employee handling the case must initial the Form 4760 and record the
    date they handled the case. If the examiner encounters delays in transmitting
    the case to the next processing level, he/she must record the reason on the
    Case Chronology Record.

(05-13-2003)
Processing Restricted Interest Cases

  1. When a case involves restricted interest, the examiner does not solicit
    the interest due during the examination. If the taxpayer desires to make full
    payment of the balance due, the examiner will notate on the Form 3198 that
    the restricted interest computation is to be provided to the examiner. At
    closing ESS will provide the interest computation to the examiner. The examiner
    will then contact the taxpayer and solicit payment of the interest.

4.75.16.8 
(05-13-2003)
Processing Related Returns

  1. Related cases should generally be closed simultaneously with the primary
    return.

  2. A Form 3198, Special Handling Notice, should be attached to each case
    folder.

    1. The primary case file should list the: 1. Name, 2. EIN/SSN, 3. MFT, and
      4. Tax year for all related cases under the box for
      “Name”
      .
      If additional space is required the examiner should attach a separate list
      and annotate the Form 3198
      “RELATED CASES – See Attached List
      ”
      in the space under the box for name

    2. All case files, both primary and related, should include the following
      statement in red ink at the top of the Form 3198:
      “MULTIPLE
      RETURNS/CASE FOLDERS INVOLVED – DO NOT SEPARATE.”

  3. The examiner should include in the primary case file, copies of all
    materials necessary to document any adjustment(s) proposed in related case
    file(s).

  4. The examiner may consider closing related cases separately, where issues
    are not interrelated and separate closing(s) would avoid long delays in processing
    no-change or agreed cases. If cases are separated, a notation should be made
    on each Case Chronology Record indicating the reason and managerial approval
    for doing so.

4.75.16.9 
(05-13-2003)
Closing Cases on a Copy of Return

  1. An examiner closing a case without the original return must secure an
    exact duplicate of the organizations retained copy or a BTVU/RTVUE print.
    A Form 3198 should identify the case file as being closed based on a retained
    copy or a BTVU/RTVUE print.

  2. If a copy of the return is being used to close the case, the examiner
    should annotate in bold red print the words
    “Copy of Filed Return
    Secured by EO”
    in the upper margin on the face of the copy of the return.

  3. If a BRTVU/RTVUE is being used to close the case, the examiner should
    annotate in red at the top of the print
    “BRTVU/RTVUE Print Used
    by EO”
    .

  4. The examiner should verify tax payments and credits claimed on the return.
    A transcript should be secured if necessary to determine the true liability.

4.75.16.10 
(05-13-2003)
Processing Suspense Cases

  1. Case files requiring suspension of action will normally be held in Dallas
    by Mandatory Review until action on the case can resume. These will include,
    but are not limited to, technical advice cases and Section 1254 suspense cases.

  2. Before forwarding a suspense case to Review, it will be the group’s
    responsibility to insure the statute is protected for at least one year. Upon
    receipt in Review, it will be Review’s responsibility to secure any
    further extensions to the statutes. Review will also secure extensions on
    subsequent years if there is a continuing issue.

  3. Technical Assistance cases will be maintained in the groups. The group
    should forward a copy of the technical assistance memorandum to Review for
    information and follow up purposes.

4.75.16.11 
(05-13-2003)
Updating the Determination File

  1. If the examiner secures information to update the Determination File,
    microfiche, he/she should:

    1. Complete the
      “Documents to be Added to Determination File/Microfiche
      ”
      cover sheet as shown in Exhibit 4.75.16-5.

    2. Attach to the form information to be added to the determination file.

    3. Send form and attachments to the following address:

    Internal Revenue Service
    Records Unit – Room 4010
    P.O. Box 2508
    Cincinnati,
    OH 45201

    Note:

    The date the cover sheet and the documents were mailed to
    the Records Unit should be noted on the Case Chronology Record.

  2. Additions to the determination file include:

    • Information pertaining to a name change (amended articles of organization,
      e.g. Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Association.)

    • Address change

    • Other amendments

    • Changes to the determination letter or foundation status

    • Changes to activities

    • Information on termination of the organization

    • Any other information the examiner determines should be added to the determination
      file that will assist subsequent examiners

  3. The examiner will document in the case file the records secured and
    the date forwarded to the Records Unit. In cases where the information is
    needed to document an issue, a file copy of the forwarded records should be
    retained and included in the workpapers.

4.75.16.12 
(05-13-2003)
Case File Assembly

  1. Because further technical, administrative and procedural action is sometimes
    required on a case after being closed from the examiners inventory, it is
    important the file be properly organized. This will assist group managers,
    reviewers, conferees, processing clerks and others who may subsequently become
    involved with the case.

  2. Adherence to this IRM will provide a uniform presentation to the next
    level. Guidelines for assembling most forms used in examinations are provided
    in this section. Each form, report or document listed will not be required
    in every case. While this listing is not all-inclusive, it will cover most
    situations. For less commonly used forms, not addressed here, examiners should
    use their judgment in determining where to place a particular document. Minor
    variances from the IRM may be necessary in unusual situations.

  3. The examiner is responsible for properly assembling the case file and
    purging all unnecessary documents, including duplicate letters, envelopes,
    routing slips, etc. Examiners should not purge items relating to the audit
    trail such as IDRS prints of AMDIS, INOLES, and BMFOLI. Once the files are
    properly assembled, they will be maintained in this manner throughout the
    closing process.

  4. The examiner should adequately index all supporting documentation in
    the case file to the Form 5772, 5773 and 5774. Any indexing system is acceptable,
    so long as it allows anyone unfamiliar with the case to easily locate workpapers
    and other important documents in the file.

  5. Refer to Exhibit 4.75.16-6 for a diagram illustrating case file assembly.

4.75.16.12.1 
(05-13-2003)
Case Folders

  1. A separate folder will be used for each type of return and taxpayer.
    Multiple years of the same return for one taxpayer should be placed in one
    folder.

    Example:

    In an examination of the 200012 and 200112
    Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, and 990-T, Exempt
    Organization Business Income Tax Return, there would be two folders, one for
    the 200012 and 200112 Forms 990 and another for the 200012 and 200112 Forms
    990-T.

  2. The administrative record will be placed in a separate folder.

  3. The examiner should include in the primary case file, copies of all
    materials necessary to document any adjustment(s) proposed in related case
    file(s).

  4. In most cases, brown folders will be used. Red folders are used on all
    cases with less than eight months remaining on the statute of limitations.
    Additionally, special project cases may be placed in a colored folder.

  5. Large case files may require more than one folder or may be placed in
    expanding folders. All folders should be labeled with the organizations name,
    EIN, type of return, and year. Multiple folders should be numbered in consecutive
    order. The number of file folders should be indicated on the Form 3210 prepared
    to transmit the case for closing.

  6. In examinations involving multiple case folders, it is important to
    ensure all case folders remain together throughout the closing process. A
    Form 3198 should be attached to each case folder with the following statement
    in large red letters
    “Multiple Returns/Case Folders Involved
    – DO NOT SEPARATE”
    . For additional requirements, refer to section 4.75.16.7.

    Note:

    A dummy return, Form 990,
    is used to close examinations of organizations that are not required to file
    Form 990.

    Note:

    The returns referenced here are the returns being used
    to close the case. Copies of returns or RICS returns that are not being used
    to close the case should be purged or placed in the supplemental workpapers.
    If a case is assigned with a RICS return and the original is received before

      primary return should include information necessary to support adjustments
      made to related returns. The workpapers, including Forms 5772 and 5773, for
      any related cases need only address the issues relating to these returns.
      For example the case file for a Form 990-T, related to the examination of

  2. The group manager will ensure the final case grade is accurate and approve
    the case for closing. The manager should indicate his/her approval by initialing
    and dating the bottom of the Case Chronology Record.

  3. IRC § 6751 requires written documentation of the managers involvement
    in any decision to assess most penalties. The written documentation can be
    included on the Case Chronology Record. Exception: The

AIMS/EOIC Group Processing Responsibilities

  1. At the time a case is closed, the group will query IDRS using the AMDISA
    command code to ensure each return being closed has been placed in status
    12. If a return is not in status 12, the return will be updated to 12 using
    the AMSTU command code.

  2. A return being closed to Review should be updated to status 52 using
    the AMSTU command code. All other cases, except for Project Code 011, Referral/Information
    Report; referred to in Item (3) below should be updated to status 53.

  3. Cases having a Project Code 011, Referral/Information Report, which
    are not subject to review must be closed to the Classification Unit. The case
    should be updated on AIMS to Status 60 and on EOIC to EO CLASS7. These cases
    should have cover sheets identifying them as referral cases. All other cases
    should be updated to status 53.

  4. An AMDISA print will be made for each return reflecting the appropriate
    status, 52, 53, or 60. The print will be stapled to the face of the return
    and should not be folded.

  5. The return(s) will be closed off EOIC using the close case screen. The
    grade of case reported on EOIC will be compared with the grade on the Form
    5599. If the two do not agree, the case grade will be changed to the one indicated
    by the manager. The Form 5599 will be used to determine the disposal code
    and the number of hours spent by the examiner on the case.

  6. The returns and related workpapers will be sent to Review, AIMS Processing,
    or Classification based on manager direction or local procedures. The Form
    3210 will be numbered consecutively as determined by the Group. Cases being
    closed to the various units should be indicate on EOIC the following:

    • Special Review –
      “REVS.”

    • Mandatory Review –
      “REVM.”

    • AIMS Processing/ESS –
      “APU#.”

    • Classification –
      “CLA#.”

    Note:

    The number for the appropriate AIMS Processing or Classification
    units is provided in the addresses on EOIC.

  7. Once the cases are closed off EOIC, the Form 3210 will be printed in
    triplicate. The forms should be signed and include the originators telephone
    number. Two copies of the Form 3210 should be included with the closed cases
    and one copy maintained in the Group. When the acknowledgement copy of the
    Form 3210 is received in the Group, the copy previously maintained will be
    destroyed.

  8. The returns and related workpapers will be sent by overnight delivery
    service if directed by the Group Manager. Otherwise, the returns and related
    workpapers will be sent by U. S. Mail or other shipping.
