Program Scope and Objectives

(1) Purpose: The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP) is used to process forms and remittances. Data is entered, processed and fed to other IRS systems. This chapter provided instructions for the Original Entry, Key Verification, and Block Edit of tax returns and related data through ISRP.

  1. This chapter provides instructions for entering and verifying data from control documents and several transfer forms for posting to the Individual Master File (IMF), the Business Master File (BMF) and the Individual Retirement Accounts File (IMF/IRAF), using the Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) system.

(2) Audience: The primary users of this IRM are Submission Processing employees; mainly clerks and managers.

(3) Policy Owner: The Director of Submission Processing

(4) Program Owner: Paper Processing Branch, Mail Management / Data Conversion Section (an organization within Submission Processing)

(5) Primary Stakeholder: Management officials who rely on accurate data gathered by the ISRP Program

Background

(1) The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) System transcribes and formats data from paper returns/documents/vouchers for input into the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) and other systems by key entry operators. It also captures check images for archiving. Transaction Management System (TMS) is a Commercial Off-the-Shelf(COTS) software application product that is an integral part of ISRP.

Authority

(1) The following provides authority for the instructions in this IRM to be performed in support of completing compliance functions to make credits or refunds of any internal revenue tax, processing of non-revenue forms, and administrative support forms.

  1. Title 26 of the United States Code (USC) or more commonly known as the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).

  2. All Policy Statements for Submission Processing are contained in IRM 1.2.1, Servicewide Policies and Authorities, Servicewide Policy Statements:

  • Code sections which provide the IRS with the authority to issue levies.

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

  • Policy Statements that provide authority for the work being done.

Responsibilities

(1) The Operations Manager secures, assigns, and provides training for the staff needed to perform the task required throughout this instruction.

(2) The Planning and Analysis Staff provides feedback and support to local management to achieve and effectively monitor scheduled goals.

(3) The team manager assigns, monitors, and controls the workflow to accomplish timely completion of the tasks required throughout this IRM.

(4) The employee applies the instruction present to the assigned task on the ISRP system to accurately convert paper data to electronic data record for proper posting for use by the Service.

Program Management and Review

(1) Program Reports: Below are a list of reports to use to show receipts, production and inventory for the paper return to electronic data conversion process. These reports will be utilized to report and monitor daily and weekly status of the program to completeness.

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

  • PCC 6240, SC WP&C Program Analysis Report

(2) Program Effectiveness: Goals will be measured utilizing standard managerial reports by documents processed per hour and completion of each function compared to the established schedule for completion each week. Each functionality is expected to retain or exceed schedule prior to the program completion date stated in IRM 3.30.123, Work Planning and Control Processing Timeliness: Cycles, Criteria, and Critical Dates. Quality reviews are expected to be conducted and monitored by local management and corrective action taken to ensure quality products are released to the next function.

(3) Annual Review: Review the processes included in this manual annually to ensure accuracy and promote consistent tax administration. This may be included under responsibilities for a manager

Program Controls

(1) The reports for the Control Data Analysis, Project PCD, are on the Control-D/Web Access server, which has a login program control.

Terms, Definitions/Acronyms

(1) The following terms or acronyms are utilized throughout this IRM:
