Overview

(1) This IRM lists procedures for Exempt Organization (EO) employees using Employee Plans/Exempt Organizations Determination System (EDS).

(2) EDS is the determination letter system of record for controlling cases from their establishment to closing. Most applications are also controlled and processed through the Tax Exempt Determination System (TEDS); however, TEDS isn’t programmed yet to process all types of determination letter requests, letter generation, or case closure.

Note: Some of this IRM doesn’t apply to cases controlled and processed through TEDS. See IRM 7.22.4, Tax Exempt Determination System (TEDS) User Manual, for more information on TEDS.

(3) Cases controlled in EDS are referred to as "EDS cases" throughout this manual. Don’t take any actions in EDS to a case controlled by TEDS until it is controlled in EDS, as it will cause a block on any TEDS data transmissions on that case.

Exception: You can generate closing letters in EDS for a TEDS controlled case without causing a system block.

(4) EDS is divided into five subsystems:

Data Transcription System (DTS) - use to enter application information on the EDS database but not for TEDS cases. Use to generate transmittal sheets.
Inventory Control System (ICS) -use to track cases from opening to closing: case assignment, status update, closing applications, resend EDS unpostables, and research capabilities.
Letter Generation System (LGS) - use to generate and reprint closing letters in EDS.
Management Information System (MIS) - use to generate user fee, unpostable, and employee roster reports.
File Maintenance System (FMS) - use to control and update files for operating EDS. These control files include Exempt Organizations Business Master File (MF) and system parameter files for DTS and LGS. Discuss required updates to DTS and LGS with your manager.

(5) EDS is a menu-driven system. You can choose functions from a list of available options. When you select a valid option, it displays an input screen or another submenu. When you complete an option, the system displays a higher level menu to select another option or to exit EDS.

(6) Each EO employee’s actions are recorded in EDS (including TEDS’ actions that transmit to EDS) is assigned a unique five digit ID number (T number/specialist number). Each ID is assigned a function code. The function code determines the employee duties in EDS (e.g., managerial, clerical, or assigned case work).

Example: Cases can only be assigned to a specialist function code. Cases can only be approved by a manager or secretary/clerk function code.

(7) Submit an Online 5081 to request system access or access changes. The TE/GE Business Systems Planning, TE/GE Operational Program Support (TOPS) office is responsible for adding and changing employee functions in EDS.

(8) Submit a Help Ticket if you need help in EDS to the Enterprise Service Desk by:

Calling 1-866-7HELP4U (1-866-743-5748).
Visiting the OS GetServices website.

Note: To expedite your ticket, tell the help desk that this is a EDS, TE/GE application issue.

(9) The system transmits application information as follows:

EDS transmits case opening and closing information daily to Employee Plans/Exempt Organizations Applications Control System (EACS).
EDS also transmits information to a Business Objects database (BOBJ), which EO uses to gather, access, analyze, share, and correlate case data.
EACS subsequently transmits the information to EO Business Master File (EO/BMF).

(10) Refer to Document 6379, Information Systems Codes FY 2015 Quick Reference for EO Employees, for current EDS system and input codes and definitions.

7.22.8.3 (09-28-2015)

Inventory Control System (ICS)

(1) An EO determination case establishment (whether through TEDS or directly in EDS) creates an EDS inventory record in Status 50 (Receipt) in the ICS, which is assigned a unique nine digit case control number (EDS case number).

(2) Employees use the case number to update the case status and generate closing letters in EDS. Either a TEDS or another user updates the case status in ICS to reflect case movement through the determination process.

Reminder: Don’t complete any updates in EDS for TEDS controlled cases.

(3) ICS actions/options include:

Query/Update Master Record and Status
Multiple Case Assignment
Letter Generation System
Reprint Transmittal Sheets

Type of Paragraph	Description
Automatic	Prints in every letter of that letter number. Does not display on the Create/Update Letter screen.
Required	Required in the letter but the user must input on the Create/Update Letter screen. Requires you to enter a variable along with the paragraph number. Displays on the Create/Update Letter screen.
Selective	May or may not be included in the letter. May or may not require a variable. Doesn’t display on the Create/Update Letter screen.
Customized	User enters. Will always print on a separate page (enclosure) after the letter signature.

(2) All letter text is assigned a paragraph number. Paragraph numbers are unique to each letter although the letter creator may choose to use the same or similar paragraph numbers consistently between letters (when possible).

(3) Paragraphs print out in a letter based on the paragraph number, how it is set up in EDS, and, sometimes, the order you enter them in the Create/Update Letter screen.

Common Paragraph number(s)	Description and print placement
1-99 3000-5998	Body paragraphs Print in numerical order
5999	Closing paragraph (e.g., Sincerely...)
8001-8499	Heading paragraph Print in numerical order at the top right of the first page
8500	Signature paragraph Prints after paragraph 5999
9000-9999	Custom paragraphs Entered by individual user Print in the order you enter the paragraph numbers in the Create/Update Letter screen not in numerical order – including 21000-26999 paragraphs (read left to right then next row - "Z" pattern) Print on a separate page after signature paragraph
21000-26999	Local paragraphs Print in the order you enter the paragraph numbers in the Create/Update Letter screen not in numerical order – including 9000-9999 paragraphs (read left to right then next row - "Z" pattern) Print on separate page after signature paragraph

(4) To input required or selective paragraph in a letter, enter the paragraph number in the Para column on the Create/Update Letter screen. If the paragraph requires a variable, enter the appropriate variable on the line next to the paragraph number in the Variable column. Variables may be from 1 to 20 characters and will print exactly as entered (e.g., capital and lower case letters, punctuation, spaces, etc.).

(5) To create a customized paragraph:

Enter paragraph number 9000 or 9001(and additional 9000-series numbers for additional paragraphs) in the Create/Update Letter screen Para column.
Press the F1 key, a Custom Paragraph screen displays. A separate Custom Paragraph screen displays for each 9000-series paragraph.
Leave the first line blank if starting a new 9000-series paragraph. (The first line prints directly below the last line of text.)
Enter the desired text, then press the F1 key. Text will print exactly as entered. You can continue a paragraph having more than 10 line using a second 9001(or higher) paragraph number.
Example: If you’re using paragraph number 9001 and need additional space to complete the paragraph, continue the text on the top line of paragraph number 9002.
