Program Scope and Objectives
(1) This IRM section provides the instructions for the Audit Information Management System (AIMS) command code AMSTU. AMSTU updates the AIMS Data base as the case is moved through the AIMS system. AMSTU generates a TC 560 (FT) record for updates to the Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED) Employee Plans Master File (EPMF), Individual Master File (IMF) and Business Master File (BMF). AMSTUR generates a TC 420(FF) record to IMF, BMF and EPMF when previously closed cases are re-opened onto the AIMS Data Base. AMSTUB generates a TC 428 (FD) record to change the Primary Business Code (PBC) at IMF, BMF and EPMF when a case that was previously closed to Appeals is backed downed to an examination Status. AMSTU generates a TC 520 (F-) record when a case is moved from a Non-Docketed Appeals STATUS-CD to a Docketed Appeals STATUS-CD. AMSTU generates a TC 521 (F*) record when a case is updated from a Docketed Appeals STATUS-CD to a Non-Docketed Appeals STATUS-CD. AMSTUS generates an AIMS-STATUTORY-NOTICE to AIMS-BATCH processing when a Statutory Notice of Deficiency is generated.
(2) Purpose: This transmits revised IRM 2.8.4, Audit Information Management System (AIMS), AIMS Command Code AMSTU.
(3) Audience: The audience for this IRM section are users of the Audit Information Management System (AIMS).
(4) Policy Owner: Information Technology, Chief Information Officer.
(5) Program Owner: Information Technology, Applications Development, Compliance, Business Compliance Management System Branch AIMS Related Section.
(6) Primary Stakeholders: IDRS users from Appeals, LB&I, SB/SE, TE/GE and W&I
(7) Program Goals: To provide explicit instructions for the use of command code AMSTU in entering and requesting data.
Background
(1) As a result of a study, it was concluded that Examination had a need for a new information management system. The study group recommended a terminal assisted Audit Information Management System (AIMS). A stand alone direct access terminal system was considered along with the enhancement of IDRS. Enhancement of IDRS was determined to be clearly the best choice for the Service.
(2) This new system satisfied Examination Division's current needs for accurate and timely inventory controls, better control of assessments and up-to-date management reports. The system traces examination results through final determination of tax liability including Appeals and Tax Court.
(3) After the successful implementation of AIMS for the Examination Division, control of returns in Appeals was added to AIMS. As of January 1, 1977 control of Exempt Organization returns was added and on October 1, 1977 control of Employee Plan returns was added.
Authority
(1) During the summer of 1973, the Deputy Commissioner established a Task Force to identify ADP requirements of Compliance functions, and to make appropriate recommendations to satisfy their needs.
Responsibility
(1) Headquarters AIMS Related Section is responsible for maintaining procedures related to AIMS programming.
Program Management and Review
(1) Command Code AMSTU is managed by Work Requests which are submitted for changes and also by tickets which are submitted by users for corrections.
Program Controls
(1) IRS implements access control measures that provide protection from unauthorized alteration, loss, unavailability, or disclosure of information.
(2) SACS controls all the IDRS user accesses and permissions.
Command Code AMSTU
(1) Command Code AMSTU is used to change or update several AIMS fields. The Appeals Office Code can be input using CC AMSTU when updating a PBBA case to Status 71. CC AMSTU is to be used only on cases where the status code on AIMS is in the range 00-79. It may be input as single or as batch processing. The input documents for AMSTU are Form 5348, Examination Update, for Examination and Form 5595, TE/GE Update, for EO, EP and GE.
Command Code AMSTUA
(1) Command Code AMSTUA is used only on cases in Status Code 81 (appeals unassigned). It allows the generation of a work unit number. The input document is Form 3210, Document Transmittal.
Command Code AMSTUB
(1) This Command Code is used for cases in status codes 80, 83-89 (appeals status). The use of AMSTUB is similar to CC AMSTU and will allow change of status codes, statute updates, PBC, and AIMS IRS Employee Code for cases in status codes 80, 83-89. AMSTUB can also be used to back down cases to Examination into status codes 12-24, 33, 34 or 41. (Status Code 81 cases can only be backed down; they cannot be updated to another appeals status using AMSTUB). The input document is Form 5568, Appeals Update. See IRM 2.8.4.10,Command Code AMSTUB Error Messages.

Command Code AMSTUZ
(1) For each terminal, there is a 4-character "AMSTU Update Counter", used to keep track of AMSTU updates. The counter is incremented by one for each successful update for AMSTU, AMSTUA, AMSTUB, AMSTUR, AMSTUS and AMSTUP.
(2) The total number of updates is displayed along with the Request Completed messages in the following format:
"REQUEST COMPLETED/UPDATES nnnn"
(3) Whenever you wish to reset the counter to zero, enter AMSTUZ in positions 1-6 of line 1, and transmit the screen. The message returned will be: "REQUEST COMPLETED/UPDATES 0000"
Command Code AMSTU
1 | Single Input Display |
| The data to be entered on lines 1 and 2 for single input, CC AMSTU, will be taken from a prepared "Label" which will be attached to the "AIMS Update Form ". |
2 | Batch Input | ||||
| (a) There are two ways to input batch data: | ||||
|
| 1) | If update (Status Code, EGC, etc.) on the "batch data line" (line 1) of CC AMSTU is identical for every record to be updated, the individual records can be listed one after the other (one per line) on lines 2-23 of the terminal screen. Thus, up to 22 records can be updated with one screen input. | ||
|
| 2) | In order to update records with the same TIN but with different MFTs and/or Tax Periods; use AMSTU with the "repeat" function. This is done by entering an "R" in position 1 of the next available line of 2-23. After the "R", you may input the MFT or the Tax Period or both. The TIN, File Source and Name Control will be taken from the last entry line above. Data lines 2-23 may be used for the "repeat" processing. | ||
| (b) | For both methods of input (above) the data input in the Amount Claimed field, on the same line (2-23) as a record, is for that record only; it does not "carry down" or otherwise affect the other record updates. | |||
