1. This IRM provides instructions for entering and verifying data from unemployment forms, schedules and block control forms using the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP).

1. This chapter also provides information for Quality Review in performing the review of information transcribed on ISRP.

2. Use IRM 1.11.10, Internal Management Documents System, Interim Guidance Process, and elevate through the proper channels for operational situations, temporary procedures, pilot programs, or a change to current procedures.

2. Purpose: The instructions in this IRM apply to the processing of paper filed Form 940, Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment

(FUTA)Tax Return, Form 940 (PR), Planilla Para La Declaración Federal Anual Del Patrono De La Contribución Federal Para El Desempleo

(FUTA)(Puerto Rico - Spanish version) and Form 940 (sp), Declaración del Impuesto Federal Anual del Empleador del Impuesto Federal para el Desempleo

(FUTA)through ISRP.

3. Audience: Submission Processing Data Conversion Operation personnel including general clerks, leads and supervisors. These instructions apply to all campuses.

4. Policy Owner: The Director, Submission Processing, Taxpayer Services.

5. Program Owner: Mail Management Data Conversion Section, Return Processing Branch (an Organization within Submission Processing).

6. Primary Stakeholders: Those affected by these procedures or have input to the procedures including a change in workflow, additional duties, change in established time frames, and similar issues include:

- Accounts Management

- Chief Counsel

- Chief Financial Officer

- Compliance Strategy and Policy

- Information Technology

7. Program Goals: Capture unemployment data through data transcription of information via the ISRP system and output records downstream through Generalized Mainline Framework

(GMF)and other related systems. ISRP is an application designed to capture, format, and forward information related to tax submissions and remittances in electronically readable formats to downstream IRS systems. Forward any remittances received with a tax document to the Remittance Processing function for processing and deposit.

1. Filers send paper unemployment forms to the Internal Revenue Service

(IRS)to fulfill their requirement to file an annual unemployment tax return and provide their taxpayer identification number (TIN). The IRS must convert the information present on the paper filings to an electronic data record. Employees input and validate the data present in the IRS systems for these records during conversion to electronic data records.

1. Authority for these procedures is in Title 26 of the United States Code

(USC)or more commonly known as the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The IRC is amended by acts, public laws, treasury determinations, rules, and regulations such as the following:

- American Taxpayer Relief Act

- Consolidated Appropriations Act (Extenders)

- Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act

- Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment

(HIRE)Act

- The Federal Unemployment Tax Act

- The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes

(PATH)Act

Note:

The above list may not be all inclusive of the various updates to the IRC.

2. IRM 1.2.1.4, Servicewide Policies and Authorities, Policy Statements for Submission Processing Activities contains all policy statements for Submission Processing:

- Code sections that provide the IRS with the authority to issue levies.

- Congressional Acts that outline additional authorities and responsibilities like the Travel and Transportation Reform Act of 1998 or the Tax Act of 1986.

- Policy Statements that provide authority for the work done.

1. The Director, Submission Processing approves and authorizes issuance of this IRM.

2. The Planning and Analysis Staff provides feedback and supports local management to monitor and achieve scheduled goals.

3. The Operation Manager secures, assigns and provides training for the staff needed to perform the duties presented in this IRM.

4. The Team Manager assigns, monitors, and controls the workflow to complete the work timely.

5. The Employee applies the instruction for the duties presented in this IRM on the ISRP system to accurately convert paper data to an electronic data record for proper posting for use by the IRS.

1. Program Reports: The reports listed below show work schedules, receipts, production and inventory for conversion of paper returns to electronic data. Management uses these reports to monitor the daily and weekly status of the program through completion.

- PCC 2240, Daily Production Report - Program Sequence

- PCC 6040, SC WP&C Performance and Cost Report

- PCC 6240, SC WP&C Program Analysis Report

- PCB 0440, Daily Workload and Staff hours Schedule

- PCB 0540, Weekly Workload and Staffing Schedule

2. Program Effectiveness: Management measures weekly goals using the above reports for each function compared to the established completion schedule. Each function must complete the inventory on or before the program completion date, and to retain or exceed schedule prior to the program completion date stated in IRM 3.30.123, Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria, and Critical Dates. Local Management conducts and monitors quality reviews and takes corrective action to ensure quality products. Managerial and product reviews supplement the quality review process.

3. Annual Review: Management reviews the processes in this manual annually to ensure accuracy and promote consistent tax administration.

1. Management can use local reports to establish additional information for maintaining daily program control. Local reports never replace the established official reports.
