Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official
rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for
publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conven-
tions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general
interest. It is published weekly and may be obtained from the
Superintendent of Documents on a subscription basis. Bulletin
contents are compiled semiannually into Cumulative Bulletins,
which are sold on a single-copy basis.
It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all sub-
stantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application of
the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke, mod-
ify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin.
All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indi-
cated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal man-
agement are not published; however, statements of internal
practices and procedures that affect the rights and duties of
taxpayers are published.
Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Service on the
application of the law to the pivotal facts stated in the revenue
ruling. In those based on positions taken in rulings to taxpayers
or technical advice to Service field offices, identifying details
and information of a confidential nature are deleted to prevent
unwarranted invasions of privacy and to comply with statutory
requirements.
Rulings and procedures reported in the Bulletin do not have the
force and effect of Treasury Department Regulations, but they
may be used as precedents. Unpublished rulings will not be
relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in
the disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and
procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations,
court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered,
and Service personnel and others concerned are cautioned
against reaching the same conclusions in other cases unless
the facts and circumstances are substantially the same.
The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows:
Part I.—19
86 Code.
This part i
ncludes rulings and decisions based on provisions of
the Intern
al Revenue Code of 1986.
Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation.
This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A,
Tax Conventions and Other Related Items, and Subpart B, Leg-
islation and Related Committee Reports.
Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous.
To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to these
subjects are contained in the other Parts and Subparts. Also
included in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rul-
ings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by
the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Sec-
retary (Enforcement).
Part IV
.—Items of General Interest.
This par
t includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar-
ment an
d suspension lists, and announcements.
The last Bulletin for each month includes a cumulative index
for the matters published during the preceding months. These
monthly indexes are cumulated on a semiannual basis, and are
published in the last Bulletin of each semiannual period.
The c
ontents of this publication are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. A citation of the Internal Revenue Bulletin as the source would be appropriate.

Sec. 4. Filing Requirements
.01The regulations under section 6011(e)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code provide that any person, including a corporation,
partnership, individual, estate, and trust, who is required to file250 or more information returns must file such returns electroni-
August 7, 20061452006–32 I.R.B.

cally/magnetically.The 250* or more requirement applies separately foreach type of return and separately to each type of
corrected return.
*Even though filers may submit up to 249 information returns onpaper, IRS encourages filers to transmit those information
returns electronically or magnetically.
.02All filing requirements that follow apply individually to each reporting entity as defined by its separate Taxpayer Identification
Number (TIN), which may be either a Social Security Number (SSN),Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN). For example, if a corporation with several branches or locations usesthe same EIN, the corporation
must aggregate the total volume of returns to be filed for that EIN and apply the filing requirements to each type of return accordingly.
.03Payers who are required to submit their information returns on magnetic media may choose to submit their documents by
electronic filing. Payers, who submit their information returns electronically by March 31,2006, are considered to have satisfied the
magnetic media filing requirements.
.04IRS/ECC-MTB has one method for filing information returns electronically; see Part B.
.05The following requirements apply separately to both originals and corrections filed electronically/magnetically:
1098
1098–C
1098–E
1098–T
1099–A
1099–B
1099–C
1099–CAP
1099–DIV
1099–G
1099–H
1099–INT
1099–LTC
1099–MISC
1099–OID
1099–PATR
1099–Q
1099–R
1099–S
1099–SA
5498
5498–ESA
5498–SA
W–2G
250ormoreofanyof these forms require electronic or magnetic media filing with IRS. These are
stand-alone documents and may not be aggregated for purposes of determining the 250 threshold. For
example, if you must file 100 Forms 1099–B and 300 Forms 1099–INT, Forms 1099–B need not be filed
electronically or magnetically since they do not meet the threshold of 250. However, Forms 1099–INT
must be filed electronically or magnetically since they meet the threshold of 250.
.06The above requirements do not apply if the payer establishes undue hardship (See Part E, Sec. 5).
Sec. 5. Vendor List
.01IRS/ECC-MTB prepares a list of vendors whosupport electronic or tapecartridge filing. The Vendor List (Pub. 1582) contains
the names of service bureaus that will produce or submit files forelectronic filing or on tape cartridges. It also contains the names
of vendors who provide software packages for payers who wish to produce electronic files or tape cartridges on their own computer
systems. This list is compiled as a courtesy and in no way implies IRS/ECC-MTB approval or endorsement.
.02If filers engage a service bureau to prepare files on their behalf, the filers must not report duplicate data, which may cause
penalty notices to be generated.
.03The Vendor List, Publication 1582, is updated periodically. The most recent revision is available on the IRS website at
w
ww.irs.gov. For an additional list of software providers, log on to www.irs.govandgototheApprovedIRSe-fileforBusiness
Providerslink.
.04A vendor, who offers a software package, or has the capability to electronically file information returns, or has the ability
to produce tape cartridges for customers, and who would like to be included in Publication 1582 must submit a letter or email to
IRS/ECC-MTB. The request should include:
(a)Company name
(b)Address (include city, state, and ZIP code)
(c)Telephone and FAX number (include area code)
(d)Email address
2006–32 I.R.B.146August 7, 2006

(e)Contact person
(f)Type(s) of service provided (e.g.,service bureau and/or software)
(g)Type(s) of media offered (e.g., tape cartridge, or electronic filing)
(h)Type(s) of return(s)
Sec. 6. Form 4419, Application for Filing Information Returns Electronically/Magnetically
.01Transmitters are required to submit Form 4419, Application forFiling Information Returns Electronically/Magnetically, to
request authorization to file information returns with IRS/ECC-MTB. A single Form 4419 should be filed no matter how many types
of returns the transmitter will be submitting electronically/magnetically. For example, if a transmitter plans to file Forms 1099–INT,
one Form 4419 should be submitted. If, at a later date, another type of form (Forms 1098, 1099, 5498 and W–2G) will be filed, the
transmitter should not submit a new Form 4419.
Note: EXCEPTIONS — An additional Form 4419 is required for filing each of the following types of returns: Form 1042–S,
Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding, and Form 8027, Employer’s Annual Information Return of Tip
Income and Allocated Tips. See the back of Form 4419 for detailed instructions.
.02Tape cartridge and electronically filed returns may not be submitted to IRS/ECC-MTB until the application has been approved.
Please read the instructions on the back of Form 4419 carefully. Form 4419 is included in the Publication 1220 for the filer’s use.
This form may be photocopied. Additional forms may be obtained by calling1–800–TAX–FORM (1–800–829–3676).The form is
also available on the IRS website atw
ww.irs.gov.
.03Upon approval, a five-character alpha/numeric Transmitter Control Code (TCC) will be assigned and included in an approval
letter. The TCCmustbe coded in the Transmitter “T” Record. IRS/ECC-MTB uses the TCC to identify payer/transmitters and to
track their files through the processing system. The same TCC canbe used regardless of the method of filing. For example, a payer
may send their production data on a tape cartridge and then later file a correction file electronically. The same TCC can be used for
each filing.
.04IRS/ECC-MTB encourages transmitters who file for multiple payers to submit one application and to use the assigned TCC for
all payers. While not encouraged, multipleTCCs can be issued to payers with multiple TINs. Transmitter cannot use more than one
TCC in a file. Each TCC must be reported in separate transmissions if filing electronicallyor on separate media if filing magnetically.
.05If a payer’s files are prepared by a service bureau, the payer may not need to submit an applicationtoobtainaTCC.Some
service bureaus will produce files, code their own TCC in the file, and send it to IRS/ECC-MTB for the payer. Other service bureaus
will prepare the file and return the file to the payer for submission to IRS/ECC-MTB. These service bureaus may require the payer to
obtain a TCC, which is coded in the Transmitter “T” Record. Payers should contact their service bureaus for further information.
.06Form 4419 may be submitted anytime during the year; however, itmustbe submitted to IRS/ECC-MTB at least 30 days before
the due date of the return(s) for current year processing. This allows IRS/ECC-MTB the time necessary to process and respond to
applications.Form 4419 may be faxed to IRS/ECC-MTB at 304–264–5602. In the event that computer equipment or software is not
compatible with IRS/ECC-MTB, a waiver may be requested to file returns on paper documents (See Part E, Sec. 5).
.07Once a transmitter is approved to file electronically/magnetically, it is not necessary to reapplyunless:
(a)The payer has discontinued filing electronically or magnetically for two consecutive years. The payer’s TCC may have
been reassigned by IRS/ECC-MTB. Payers who know that the assigned TCC will no longer be used, are requested to notify
IRS/ECC-MTB so these numbers may be reassigned.
(b)The payer’s files were transmitted in the past by a service bureau using the service bureau’s TCC, but now the payer has
computer equipment compatible with that of IRS/ECC-MTB and wishes to prepare his or her own files. The payer must
request a TCC by filing Form 4419.
.08In accordance with Regulations section 1.6041–7(b), payments by separate departments of a health care carrier to providers of
medical and health care services may be reported on separate returns filed electronically or magnetically. In this case, the headquarters
will be considered the transmitter, and the individual departments of the company filing reports will be considered payers. A single
Form 4419 covering all departments filing electronically/magnetically should be submitted. One TCC may be used for all departments.
.09Copies of Publication 1220 can be obtained by downloading from the IRS website atw
ww.irs.gov.
.10Ifanyof the information (name, TIN or address) on Form 4419changes, please notify IRS/ECC-MTB in writing so the
IRS/ECC-MTB database can be updated. The email address, m
ccirp@irs.gov, may be used for basic name and address changes.
IRS/ECC-MTB can not accept TIN information via email. A change inthe method by which information returns are submitted is not
information that needs to be updated (e.g., cartridge to electronic). The transmitter should include the TCC in all correspondence.
.11Approval to file does not imply endorsementby IRS/ECC-MTB of any computer software or of the quality of tax preparation
services provided by a service bureau or software vendor.
August 7, 20061472006–32 I.R.B.

Sec. 7. Test Files
.01IRS/ECC-MTB encourages first time electronic or tape cartridge filers to submit a test. Test files arerequiredfor filers wish-
ing to participate in the Combined Federal/State Filing Program. See Part A, Sec. 13, for further information on the Combined
Federal/State Filing Program.
.02The test filemustconsist of a sample of each type of record:
(a)Transmitter “T” Record (all fields marked required must include transmitter information)
(b)Payer “A” Record (must not be fictitious data)
(c)Multiple Payee “B” Records(at least 11 “B” Records per each “A” Record)
(d)End of Payer “C” Record
(e)State Totals “K” Record, if participating in the Combined Federal/State Filing Program
(f)End of Transmission “F” Record (See Part D for record formats.)
.03Use the Test Indicator “T” in Field Position 28 of the “T” Record to show this is a test file.
.04IRS/ECC-MTB will check the file to ensure it meets the specifications of this Revenue Procedure. For current filers, sending
a test file will provide the opportunity to ensure their software reflects any programming changes.
.05Electronic tests may be submittedNovember 1, 2006, through February 15, 2007. See Part B, Sec. 4.03, for information on
electronic test results.
.06Tests submitted on tape cartridges should bepostmarkedno earlier thanOctober 2, 2006, and no later than December 1, 2006.
Tests must bereceivedat ECC-MTB by December 15 in order to be processed. Test processing will not begin until November 1. For
tests filed on tape cartridge, the transmitter must include the signed Form 4804 in the package with the tape cartridge. The “TEST”
box in Block 1 on Form 4804 must be marked and the external media label must denote “TEST”.
.07IRS/ECC-MTB will send a letter of acknowledgment to indicate the tape cartridge testresults. Unacceptable tape cartridge test
filers will receive a letter and/or documentation identifying the errors. Resubmission of tape cartridge test files must bereceivedby
IRS/ECC-MTB no later thanDecember 15, 2006.

Sec. 8. Filing of Information Returns Magnetically and Retention Requirements
.01Form 4804, Transmittal of Information Returns Reported Magnetically, or a computer-generated substitute, must accompany
alltape cartridge shipments except forreplacements, when Form 4804 is not always required (See Part A, Sec. 10).
.02IRS/ECC-MTB allows for the use of computer-generated substitutes for Form 4804. The substitutes must contain all infor-
mation requested on the original forms including the affidavit and signature line. Photocopies areacceptable, however, an original
signature is required. When using computer-generated forms, be sure to clearly mark the tax year being reported. This will eliminate
a telephone communication from IRS/ECC-MTB to verify the tax year.
.03Form 4804 may be signed by the payer or the transmitter, servicebureau, paying agent, or disbursingagent (all hereafter referred
to as agent) on behalf of the payer. Failureto sign the affidavit on Form 4804 may delayprocessing or could result in the files not
being processed. An agent may sign Form 4804 if the agent has the authority to sign the affidavit under an agency agreement (either
oral, written, or implied) that is valid under state law and adds the caption “FOR: (name of payer).”
.04Although an authorized agent may sign the affidavit, the payer is responsible for the accuracyof Form 4804 and the returns
filed. The payer will be liable for penalties for failure to comply with filing requirements.
.05Current and prior year data may be submitted in the same shipment; however, each tax year must be on separate media, and a
separate Form 4804 must be prepared to clearly indicate each tax year.
.06Filers who have prepared their information returns in advance of the due date are encouraged to submit this information to
IRS/ECC-MTB no earlier than January 1 of the year the returns are due. Filers may submit multiple original files by the due date as
long as duplicate information is not reported.
.07 Do not report duplicate information. If a filer submits returns electronically or magnetically, identical paper documents
must not be filed. This may result in erroneous penalty notices being sent to the recipients.
.08A self-adhesive external media label, created by the filer, must be affixed to each tape cartridge. For instructions on how to
prepare an external media label, refer to Notice 210 in the forms section of this publication.
2006–32 I.R.B.148August 7, 2006

.09When submitting files include the following:
(a)AsignedForm 4804
(b)External media label (created by filer) affixed to the tape cartridge
(c)IRB Box
oflabeled on outside of each package
.10IRS/ECC-MTB will not return media afterprocessing. Therefore, if the transmitter wants proof that IRS/ECC-MTB received
a shipment, the transmitter should select a service with tracking capabilities or one that will provide proof of delivery. Shipping
containers will not be returned to the filer.
.11IRS/ECC-MTB will not pay for or accept “Cash-on-Delivery” or “Charge to IRS” shipments of tax information that an indi-
vidual or organization is legally required to submit.
.12 Payers should retain a copy of the information returns filed with IRS or have the ability to reconstruct the data for at
least 3 years from the reporting due date, except:
(a)Retain for 4 years all information returns when backup withholding is imposed.
(b)A financial entity must retain a copy of Form 1099–C, Cancellation of Debt, or have the ability to reconstruct the data
required to be included on the return, for at least 4 years from the date such return is required to be filed.
Sec. 9. Due Dates
.01The due dates for filing paper returns with IRS also apply to tapecartridges. Filing of information returns is on a calendar year
basis, except for Forms 5498 and 5498–SA, which are used to report amounts contributed during or after the calendar year (but not

.02If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the return or statement is considered timely if filed or furnished
on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
.03Tape cartridges postmarked by the United States Postal Service (USPS) on or before February 28, 2007, and delivered by United
States mail to the IRS/ECC-MTB after the due date, are treated as timely under the “timely mailing as timely filing” rule.Refer to
the2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W–2G,When to File, located in the back of this publication for
more detailed information.Notice 97–26, 1997–1 C.B. 413, provides rules for determining the date that is treated as the postmark
date. For items delivered by a non-designated Private Delivery Service (PDS), the actual date of receipt by IRS/ECC-MTB will be
used as the filing date. For items delivered by a designated PDS, but through a type of service not designated in Notice 2004–83, the
actual date of receipt by IRS/ECC-MTB will be used as the filing date.The timely mailing rule also applies to furnishing statements
to recipients and participants.
Note: Due to security regulations at ECC-MTB, the Internal Revenue police officers will only accept media from PDSs or
couriers from8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
.04Use this Revenue Procedure to prepare information returns filed electronically or magnetically beginningJanuary 1, 2007,and
postmarked no later thanDecember 1, 2007.

Sec. 10. Replacement Tape Cartridges
Note: Replacement Electronic files are detailed in Part B, Sec. 5.
.01A replacement is an information return file sent by the filerat the request of IRS/ECC-MTBbecause of errors encountered
while processing the filer’s original file or correction file. After the necessary changes have been made, the entire file must be returned
for processing along with the Media Tracking Slip (Form 9267) which was included in the correspondence from IRS/ECC-MTB. (See
Note.)
Note: Filers should never send anything to IRS/ECC-MTB marked “Replacement” unless IRS/ECC-MTB has requested a
replacement file in writing or via the FIRE System.
.02Tape cartridge filers will receive a Media Tracking Slip (Form 9267), listing, and letter detailingthe reason(s) their media could
not be processed. It is imperative that filers maintain backup copies and/or recreate capabilities for their information return files. Open
all correspondence from IRS/ECC-MTB immediately.
.03When possible, sample records identifying errors encountered will be provided with the returned information. It is the respon-
sibility of the transmitter to check the entire file for similar errors.
.04Before sending replacement media make certain the following items are addressed:
(a)Make the required changes noted in the enclosed correspondence and check entire file for other errors.
(b)Code Payer “A” record in position 49 with “1” for replacement file. See Part D, Sec. 4.
(c)Enclose Form 9267, Media Tracking Slip, with your replacement media.
(d)Label your media“Replacement Data”and indicate the appropriate Tax Year.
(e)CompleteanewForm4804if any of your information has changed.
.05Replacement files must be corrected and returned to IRS/ECC-MTB within 45 days from the date of the letter. Refer to Part
B, Sec. 5.05, for procedures for files submitted electronically. A penalty forfailure to return a replacement file will be assessed if the
files are not corrected and returned within the 45 daysor if filers are notified by IRS/ECC-MTB of the need for a replacement file
more than two times.A penalty for intentional disregard of filing requirements will be assessed if a replacement file is not received.
(For penalty information, refer to the Penalty section of the2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W–2G.)
Sec. 11. Corrected Returns
•Acorrectionis an information return submitted by the transmitter to correct an information return that was previously submit-
ted to and successfully processed by IRS/ECC-MTB, but contained erroneous information.
•While we encourage you to file your corrections electronically/magnetically, you may file upto 249 paper corrections even
though your originals were filedelectronically or magnetically.
•DO NOT SEND YOUR ENTIRE FILE AGAIN.Only correct the information returns which were erroneous.
•Information returns omitted from the original filemust notbe coded as corrections. Submit these returns under a separate
Payer “A” Record asoriginal returns.
•Be sure to use the same payee account number that was used onthe original submission. The account number is used to match
a correction record to the original information return.
•Before creating your correction file, review the correction guidelines chart carefully.
.01The magnetic media filing requirement of information returns of 250 or more applies separately to both original and corrected
returns.

If a payer has 100 Forms 1099–A to be corrected, theycan be filed on paper because they fall under the 250
threshold. However, if the payer has 300 Forms 1099–B to be corrected, they must be filed electronically or
magnetically because they meet the 250 threshold. Iffor some reason a payer cannot file the 300 corrections
electronically or magnetically, to avoid penalties, a request for a waiver must be submitted before filing
on paper. If a waiver is approved for original documents, any corrections for the same type of return will
be covered under this waiver.
2006–32 I.R.B.150August 7, 2006

.02Corrections should be filedas soon as possible. Corrections filed after August 1 may be subject to the maximum penalty of
$50 per return. Corrections filed by August 1 may be subject to a lesser penalty. (For information on penalties, refer to the Penalties
section of the2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W–2G.) However, if payers discover errors after August
1, they should file corrections, as prompt correction is a factor considered in determining whether the intentional disregard penalty
should be assessed or whether a waiver of the penalty for reasonable cause may be granted. All fields must be completed with the
correct information, not just the data fieldsneeding correction. Submit corrections only for the returns filed in error, not the entire
file. Furnish corrected statementsto recipients as soon as possible.
Note: Do NOT resubmit your entire file as corrections. This willresult in duplicate filing and erroneous notices may be sent
to payees. Submit only those returns which require correction.
.03There are numerous types of errors, and in some cases, more than one transaction may be required to correct the initial error.
If the original return was filed as an aggregate, the filers must consider this in filing corrected returns.
.04The payee’s account number should be included onallcorrection records. This is especially important when more than one
information return of the same type is reported for a payee. Theaccount number is used to determine which information return is
being corrected. It is vital that each information return reported for a payee have a unique account number. See Part D, Sec. 6, Payer’s
Account Number For Payee.
.05Corrected returns may be included on the same media as original returns; however, separate “A”Records are required. Cor-
rected returns must be identified on Form 4804 and the external medialabel by indicating “Correction.” If filers discover that certain
information returns were omitted on their original file, they must not code these documents as corrections. The file must be coded
and submitted as originals.
.06If a payer realizes duplicate reporting has occurred, IRS/ECC-MTB should be contactedimmediatelyfor instructions on how
to avoid notices. The standard correction process will not resolve duplicate reporting.
.07If a payer discovers errors that affect a large number of payees, in addition to sending IRS the corrected returns and notifying the
payees, IRS/ECC-MTB underreporter section should be contacted toll-free 1–866–455–7438 for additional requirements. Corrections
must be submitted on actual information return documents or filed electronically/magnetically. Form 4804 must be submitted with
corrected files submitted magnetically. If filing magnetically, provide the correct tax year in Block 2 of Form 4804 and on the external
media label. A separate Form 4804 must be submitted for each tax yearreported magnetically. Form 4804 is not required for electronic
filing.
.08Prior year data, original and corrected,mustbe filed according to the requirements ofthis Revenue Procedure. When submitting
prior year data, use the record format for the current year. Each tax year must be submitted on separate media. However, use the actual
year designation of the data in Field Positions 2–5 of the “T”, “A”,and “B” Records. If filing electronically, a separate transmission
must be made for each tax year.
.09In general, filers should submit corrections for returns filed within the last 3 calendar years (4 years if the payment is a reportable
payment subject to backup withholding under section 3406 of the Code and also for Form 1099–C, Cancellation of Debt).
.10All paper returns, whether original or corrected, must be filed with the appropriate service center.IRS/ECC-MTB does not
process paper returns.
.11If a payer discovers an error(s) in reporting thepayername and/or TIN, write a letter to IRS/ECC-MTB (See Part A, Sec. 3)
containing the following information:
(a)
Name and address of payer
(b)Type of error (please include the incorrect payer name/TIN that was reported)
(c)Tax year
(d)Payer TIN
(e)TCC
(f)Type of return
(g)Number of payees
(h)Filing method, paper, electronic, or tape cartridge
.12The “B” Record provides a 20-position field for a unique Payer’s Account Number for Payee. If a payee has more than one
reporting of the same document type, it is vital that each reporting is assigned a unique accountnumber. This number will help
identify the appropriate incorrect return if morethan one return is filed for a particular payee.Do not enter a TIN in this field.
A payer’s account number for the payee may be a checking account number, savings account number, serial number, or any other
number assigned to the payee by the payer that will distinguish the specific account. This number should appear on the initial return
and on the corrected return in order to identify and process the correction properly.
.13The record sequence for filing correctionsisthesameasfororiginalreturns.
.14Review the chart that follows. Errors normally fall under oneof the two categories listed. Next to each type of error is a list of
instructions on how to file the corrected return.

Sec. 12. Effect on Paper Returns and Statements to Recipients
.01Electronic/Magnetic reporting of information returns eliminates the need to submit paper documents to the IRS.CAUTION:
Do not send Copy A of the paper forms to IRS/ECC-MTB for any forms filed electronically or magnetically.This will result in
duplicate filing; therefore, erroneous notices could be generated.
.02Payers are responsible for providing statements to the payees as outlined in the2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099,
1098, 5498, and W–2G. Refer to those instructions for filing information returns on paper with the IRS and furnishing statements to
recipients.
.03Statements to recipients should be clear and legible. If the official IRS form is not used, the filer must adhere to the specifica-
tions and guidelines in Publication 1179, General Rules and Specifications for Substitute Forms 1096, 1098, 1099, 5498, W–2G and
1042–S.
Sec. 13. Combined Federal/State Filing Program
•Through the Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Program, IRS/ECC-MTB will forward original and corrected information
returns filed electronically or magnetically toparticipating states for approved filers.
•For approval, the filer must submit a test file coded for this program. See Part A, Sec. 7, Test Files.
•For tape cartridge test files, attach a letter to Form 4804 requesting approval to participate in the CF/SF Program. Form 4804
or letter is not required fortests sent electronically.
•Approved filers are sent Form 6847, Consent for Internal Revenue Service to Release Tax Information, which must be com-
pleted and returned to IRS/ECC-MTB. A separate form is required for each payer.
2006–32 I.R.B.154August 7, 2006

.01The Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Program was established to simplify information returns filing for the taxpayer.
IRS/ECC-MTB will forward this information to participating states free of charge for approved filers. Separate reporting to those
states is not required. The following information returns may be filed under theCombined Federal/State Filing Program:
Form 1099–DIVDividends and Distributions
Form 1099–GCertain Government Payments
Form 1099–INTInterest Income
Form 1099–MISCMiscellaneous Income
Form 1099–OIDOriginal Issue Discount
Form 1099–P
ATR
Taxable Dis
tributions Received From Cooperatives
Form 1099–RDistributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs,
Insurance Contracts, etc.
Form 5498IRA Contribution Information
.02To request approval to participate, a tapecartridge test file coded for this programmustbe submitted to IRS/ECC-MTB between
November l, 2006, and December 15, 2006.Media must bepostmarkedno later than December 1, 2006 in order to be received at
ECC-MTB by December 15 for processing. Electronic test files coded for this program must be submitted betweenNovember 1, 2006,
and February 15, 2007.
.03Attach a letter to Form 4804 submitted with the test file to indicate the filer is requesting approval to participate in the Combined
Federal/State Filing Program. Test files sent electronically do not require Form 4804 or letter. If the test file is coded for the Combined
Federal/State Filing Program and is acceptable, an approval letter and Form 6847, Consent for Internal Revenue Service to Release
Tax Information, will be sent to the filer.
.04Form 6847, Consent for Internal Revenue Service to Release Tax Information,mustbe completed and signed by the payer, and
returned to IRS/ECC-MTB before any tax information can be released to the state. Filers must write their TCC on Form 6847.
.05While a test file is only required for the first year when a filer applies to participate in the Program, it is highly recommended
that a test be sent every year you participate in the Combined Federal/State Filing program. Each record, both in the test and the actual
data file, must conform to the current Revenue Procedure.
.06If the test file is not acceptable, IRS/ECC-MTB will send tape cartridge filers information indicating the problems. Electronic
filers must log on to the FIRE System within two business days to check the acceptability of their test file. The new test file must be
postmarked no later than December 1, 2006 for tape cartridges, or transmitted by February 15, 2007 for an electronically filed test.
.07A separate Form 6847 isrequiredfor each payer. A transmitter may not combine payers on one Form 6847 even if acting as
Attorney-in-Fact for several payers. Form6847 may be computer-generated as long as it includes all information on the original form,
or it may be photocopied. If Form 6847 is signed by an Attorney-in-Fact, the written consent from the payer must clearly indicate that
the Attorney-in-Fact is empowered to authorize release of the information.
.08Only code the records for participating states and for those payers who have submitted Form 6847.
.09If a payee has a reporting requirement for more than one state,separate “B” records must be created for each state. Payers must
pro-rate the amounts to determine what should be reported to each state. Donotreport the total amount to each state. This will cause
duplicate reporting.
.10Some participating states require separate notification thatthepayerisfilinginthismanner. SinceIRS/ECC-MTBactsasa
forwarding agent only, it is the payer’sresponsibility to contact the appropriate states for further information.
.11All corrections properly coded for the Combined Federal/State Filing Program will be forwarded to the participating states.
Only send corrections which affect the Federal reporting. Errors which apply only to the state filing requirement should be sent directly
to the state.
.12
Participating states and corresponding valid state codes are listed inTable 1of this section. The appropriate state codemust
be entered for those documents that meet the state filing requirements;do not use state abbreviations.
.13Each state’s filing requirements are subject to change by the state. It is the payer’s responsibility to contact the participating
states to verify their criteria.
.14Upon submission of the actual files, the transmittermustbe sure of the following:
(a)All records are coded exactly as required by this Revenue Procedure.
(b)A State Total “K” Record(s) for each state(s)being reported follows the “C” Record.
(c)Payment amount totals and the valid participating statecode are included in the State Totals “K” Record(s).
(d)The last “K” Record is followed by an “A” Record or an End of Transmission “F” Record (if this is the last record of the
entire file).

Sec. 14. Penalties Associated With Information Returns
.01The following penalties generally apply to the person required to file information returns. The penalties apply to electronic/mag-
netic media filers as well as to paper filers.
.02 Failure To File Correct Information Returns by the Due Date (Section 6721).If you fail to file a correct information return
by the due date and you cannot show reasonable cause, you may be subject to a penalty. The penalty applies if you fail to file timely,
you fail to include all information required to be shown on a return, or you include incorrect information on a return. The penalty also
applies if you file on paper when you were required to file either electronically or magnetically, you report an incorrect TIN or fail to
report a TIN, or you fail to file paper forms that are machine readable.
The amount of the penalty is based on when you file the correct information return. The penalty is:
•$15per information return if you correctly file within 30 daysof the due date of the return (See Part A, Sec. 9.01); maximum
penalty $75,000 per year ($25,000 for small businesses).
•$30per information return if you correctly file more than 30 days after the due date but by August 1; maximum penalty $150,000
per year ($50,000 for small businesses).
•$50per information return if you file after August 1 or you do not file required information returns; maximum penalty $250,000
per year ($100,000 for small businesses).
.03A late filing penalty may be assessed for a replacement file which is not returned by the required date. Files which require
replacement more than two times will also be subject to penalty.See Part A, Sec. 10, for more information on replacement files.
2006–32 I.R.B.156August 7, 2006

.04 Intentional disregard of filing requirements.If failure to file a correct information return is due to intentional disregard of
the filing or correct information requirements, the penalty isat least $100 per information return with no maximum penalty.
.05 Failure To Furnish Correct Payee Statements (Section 6722). For information regarding penalties which may apply to
failure to furnish correct payee statements, see2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W–2G.

IRS/ECC-MTB encourages filers to verify the format and content of each type of record to ensure the accuracy of the data. This
may eliminate the need for IRS/ECC-MTB to request replacement files. This may be important for those payers who have either had
their files prepared by a service bureau orwho have purchased software packages.
Filers who engage a service bureau to prepare media on their behalf should be careful not to report duplicate data, which
may generate penalty notices.
The Major Problems Encountered lists some of the problems most frequently encounteredwith electronic/magnetic files submitted
to IRS/ECC-MTB. These problems may result inIRS/ECC-MTB requesting replacement files.
1. Unable to read tape cartridge.
Please review all tape cartridge specifications carefully (See Part C, Sections 1 and 2.)
2. No Form 4804, Transmittal of Information Returns Reported Magnetically
Each shipment of media sent to IRS/ECC-MTB must include asignedForm 4804.
3. Discrepancy Between IRS/ECC-MTB Totals and Totals in Payer “C” Records
The “C” Record is a summary record for a type of return for agiven payer. IRS compares the total number of payees and
payment amounts in the “B” records with totals in the “C” Records. The two totalsmustagree. DoNOTenter negative amounts
except when reporting Forms 1099–B or 1099–Q. Money amounts mustbe all numeric, right-justified and zero (0) fill unused
positions.Do Not Use Blanks.
4. The Payment Amount Fields in the “B” Record Do Not Correspond to the Amount Codes in the “A” Record
The Amount Codes used in the “A” recordMUSTcorrespond with the payment amount fields used in the “B” records. The amount
codes must be left-justified, in ascendingorder with the unused positions blank. For Example: If the “B” records show payment
amounts in payment amount fields 2, 4, and 7, then the “A” record must correspond with 2, 4, and 7 in the amount codes field.
5. Incorrect TIN in Payer “A” Record
The Payer’s TIN reported in positions 12–20 of the “A” record must be nine numeric characters only.(Do Not Enter Hyphen.)
The TIN and the First Payer Name Line provided in the “A” record must correspond.
6. Incorrect Tax Year in the Transmitter “T” Record, Payer “A” Record and the Payee “B” Records
The tax year in the transmitter, payer and payee records should reflect the tax year of the information return being reported. For
prior tax year data, there must be a “P” in position 6 of the Transmitter “T” record. Media postmarked December 2, 2006 or
latermusthave the Prior Year Data Indicator coded with a “P” in position 6 of the Transmitter “T” Record. This position must
be blank for current tax year data.
7. Incorrect use of Test Indicator
When sending a test file, position 28 of the Transmitter“T” record must contain a “T”, otherwise blank fill.
8. Incorrect Format for TINs in the Payee “B” Record
TINs entered in position 12–20 of the Payee “B” record must consist of nine numerics only.(Do Not Enter Hyphens.)Incorrect
formatting of TINs may result in a penalty.
9. Distribution Codes for Form 1099–R Reported Incorrectly
For Forms 1099–R, there must be valid Distribution Code(s) inposition 545–546 of the Payee “B” record. For valid codes (and
combinations), see Guide to Distribution Codes in Part D. If only one distribution code is required, it must be entered in position
545 and position 546 must be blank. A blank in position 545 is not acceptable.
10. Incorrect Record Totals Listed on Form 4804
The Combined Total Payee Records listed on Form 4804 (Block 6) are used in the verification process of information returns.
The figure in this blockmustbe the total number of payee “B” records contained on each individual piece of media submitted.
A separate Form 4804 should be sent foreach piece of media that contains a file.
2006–32 I.R.B.158August 7, 2006

11. Missing Correction Indicator in Payee “B” Record
When a file is submitted as a correction file, there must be acorrection indicator, “G” or “C” in position 6 of the Payee “B”
record. See Part A, Sec. 11.
Part B. Electronic Filing Specifications
Note: The FIRE System DOES NOT provide fill-in forms. Filersmust program files according to the Record Layout Specifi-
cations contained in this publication. For a list of software providers, log on to w
ww.irs.govandgototheApprovedIRSe-file
forBusinessProviderslink.
Sec. 1. General
.01Electronic filing of Forms 1098, 1099, 5498, and W–2G information returns, originals, corrections, and replacements is offered
as an alternative to tape cartridges or paper filing. Filing electronically will fulfill the magnetic media requirements for those payers
who are required to file magnetically. Payers who are under the filing threshold requirement, are encouraged to file electronically.
If the original file was sent magnetically, but IRS/ECC-MTB hasrequested a replacement file, the replacement may be transmitted
electronically. Also, if the original file was submitted via tapecartridge, any corrections may be transmitted electronically.
.02All electronic filing of information returns are received at IRS/ECC-MTB via the FIRE (FilingInformation Returns Electron-
ically) System. To connect to the FIRE System, point your browser toh
ttp://fire.irs.gov. The system is designed to support the
electronic filing of information returns only.
.03The electronic filing of information returns is not affiliated with any other IRS electronic filing programs. Filers must obtain
separate approval to participate in each program. Only inquiries concerning electronic filing of information returns should be directed
to IRS/ECC-MTB.
.04Files submitted to IRS/ECC-MTB electronically must be in standard ASCII code. Do not send tape cartridges or paper forms
with the same information as electronicallysubmitted files. This would create duplicate reporting resulting in penalty notices.
.05The record formats of the “T”, “A”, “B”, “C”, “K”, and “F” records are the same for both electronically or magnetically filed
records. See Part D, Record FormatSpecifications and Record Layouts.
Sec. 2. Advantages of Filing Electronically
Some of the advantages of filing electronically are:
(1)Paperless, no Form 4804 requirements.
(2)Security – Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption.
(3)Results available within 1–2 workdays regarding the acceptability of the data transmitted. It is the filer’s responsibility to
log into the system and check results.
(4)Later due date than tape cartridge or paper for electronicallyfiled Forms 1098, 1099, and W–2G (refer to Part A, Sec. 9.01).
(5)Allows more attempts than a tape cartridge filing to replace bad files within a specific time frame before imposing penalties
(refer to Part B, Sec. 5.05).
(6)Better customer service due to on-line availability of transmitter’s files for research purposes.
(7)Extended period to test electronic files: November 1, 2006 to February 15, 2007.
Sec. 3. Electronic Filing Approval Procedure
.01Filers must obtain a Transmitter Control Code (TCC) prior to submitting files electronically. Filers who currently have a TCC
for magnetic media filing may use their assigned TCC for electronic filing. Refer to Part A, Sec. 6, for information on how to obtain
a TCC.
.02Once a TCC is obtained, electronic filers assign their own userID, password and PIN (Personal Identification Number) and do
not need prior or special approval. See Part B, Sec. 6, for more information on the PIN.
.03If a filer is submitting files for more than one TCC, it is notnecessary to create a separate logon and password for each TCC.
.04For all passwords, it is the user’s responsibility to remember the password and not allow the password to be compromised.
Passwords are user assigned at first logon and must be 8 alpha/numerics containing at least 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, and 1 numeric.
However, filers who forget their password or PIN, can calltoll-free 1–866–455–7438for assistance. The FIRE System may require
users to change their passwords on a yearly basis.
August 7, 20061592006–32 I.R.B.

Sec. 4. Test Files
.01Filers are not required to submit a test file; however, the submission of a test file is encouraged for all new electronic filers to
test hardware and software. If filers wish to submit an electronic test file for Tax Year2006(returns to be filed in2007), itmustbe
submitted to IRS/ECC-MTBno earlier thanNovember 1, 2006, andno later thanFebruary 15, 2007.
.02Filers who encounter problems while transmitting the electronic test file can contact IRS/ECC-MTBtoll-free 1–866–455–7438
for assistance.
.03Filers must verify the status of the transmitted test data by returning toh
ttp://fire.irs.govto check the status of their file by
clicking on CHECK FILE STATUS. This information will be available within 1–2 workdays after the transmission is received by
IRS/ECC-MTB.If your results indicate:
(a) “Good, Federal Reporting”— Your test file is good for federal reporting only. Click on the filename for additional details.
(b) “Good, Federal/State Reporting”— Your file is good for the Combined Federal and State Filing Program (see Part A,
Section 13 for further details). Click on the filename for additional details.
(c) “Bad”— This means that your test file contained errors. Click on the filename for a list of the errors. If you want to send
another test file, send it as another test (not a replacement, original or correction).
(d) “Not Yet Processed”— The file has been received, but we do not have results available yet. Please allow another day for
results.
.04Form 4804 is not required for test files submitted electronically. See Part B, Sec. 6.
.05 A test file is required from filers who want approval for the Combined Federal/State Filing Program. See Part A, Sec. 13,
for further details.
Sec. 5. Electronic Submissions
.01Electronically filed information may be submitted to IRS/ECC-MTB 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Technical assistance is
available Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern time by callingtoll-free 1–866–455–7438.
.02 The FIRE System will be down from 2 p.m. EST December 21, 2006, through January 2, 2007.This allows IRS/ECC-
MTB to update its system to reflect current year changes.
Note: Current year data MAILED December 2 or later or electronic files SENT December 21 or later must be coded with a
“P”. Current year processing ends in December and programs are converted for the next processing year.
.03If you are sending files larger than 10,000 records electronically, data compression is encouraged. When transmitting files
larger than 5 million records, please contact IRS/ECC-MTB for additional information. WinZip and PKZip are the only acceptable
compression packages. IRS/ECC-MTB cannot accept self-extracting zip files or compressed files containing multiple files. The time
required to transmit information returns electronically will vary depending upon the type of connection to the internet and if data
compression is used.The time required to transmit a file can be reduced up to 95 percent by using compression.
.04The Fire System can accept multiple files for the same type of return providing duplicate data is not transmitted. For example,
your company has several branches issuing 1099–INT forms. It is not necessary to consolidate all the forms into one transmission.
Each file may be sent separately,providing duplicate data is not transmitted.
.05Transmitters may create files using self assigned file name(s). Files submitted electronically will be assigned a new unique file
name by the FIRE System. The filename assigned by the FIRE System will consist of submission type (TEST, ORIG [original], CORR
[correction], and REPL [replacement]), the filer’s TCC and a four-digit number sequence. The sequence number will be incremented
for every file sent. For example, if it is your first original file for the calendar year and your TCC is 44444, the IRS assigned filename
would be ORIG.44444.0001.Record the filename.This information will be needed by ECC-MTB to identify the file, if assistance
is required.
.06If a file was submitted timely and is bad, the filer will have up to 60 days from the day the file was transmitted to transmit an
acceptable file. If an acceptable file is not received within 60 days, the payer could be subject to late filingpenalties. This only applies
to files originally submitted electronically.
.07The following definitions have been provided to help distinguish between a correction and a replacement:
•Acorrectionis an information return submitted by the transmitter to correct an information return that was previously submit-
ted to and processed by IRS/ECC-MTB, but contained erroneous information.(See Note.)
Note: Corrections should only be made to records that have been submitted incorrectly, not the entire file.
•Areplacementis an information return file sent by the filer because the CHECK FILE STATUS option on the FIRE System
indicated the original/correction file wasbad. After the necessary changes have been made, the file must be transmitted through
the FIRE System.(See Note.)
2006–32 I.R.B.160August 7, 2006

Note: Filers should never transmit anything to IRS/ECC-MTB as a “Replacement” file unless the CHECK FILE STATUS
option on the FIRE System indicates the file is bad.
.08The TCC in the Transmitter “T” Record must be the TCC used to transmit the file; otherwise, the file will be considered an
error.
Sec. 6. PIN Requirements
.01Form 4804 is not required for electronic files. Instead, the user will be prompted to create a PIN consisting of 10 numerics
when establishing their initial logon name and password.
.02The PIN is required each time an ORIGINAL, CORRECTION, or REPLACEMENT file is sent electronically and is permission
to release the file. It is not needed for a TEST file. An authorized agent may enter their PIN, however, the payer is responsible for the
accuracy of the returns. The payer will be liable for penalties for failure to comply with filing requirements. If you forget your PIN,
please calltoll-free 1–866–455–7438for assistance.
.03If the file is good, it is released for mainline processing after 10 calendar days from receipt. Contact ustoll-free 1–866–455–7438
within this 10-day period if there is a reason the file should not be released for further processing. If the file is bad, follow normal
replacement procedures.
Sec. 7. Electronic Filing Specifications
.01The FIRE System is designed exclusively for the filing of Forms 1042–S, 1098, 1099, 5498, 8027, and W–2G.
.02A transmitter must have a TCC (see Part A, Sec. 6) before a filecan be transmitted. A TCC assigned for magnetic media filing
should also be used for electronic filing.
.03The results of the electronic transmission will be available in the CHECK FILE STATUS area of the FIRE System within 1–2
business days. It is the filer’s responsibility to verify the acceptability of files submitted by selecting the CHECK FILE STATUS
option. Forms 1042–S and 8027 require a longer processing time.
Sec. 8. Connecting to the FIRE System
.01Point your browser to http://fire.irs.govto connect to the FIRE System.
.02Filers should turn off their pop-up blockingsoftware before transmitting their files.
.03Before connecting, have your TCC and EIN available.
.04Your browser must support SSL 128-bit encryption.
.05Your browser must be set to receive “cookies”. Cookies are used to preserve your User ID status.

Sec. 9. Common Problems and Questions Associated with Electronic Filing
.01Refer to Part A, Sec. 16, for common format errors associated with electronic/magnetic files.
.02The following are the major errors associated with electronic filing:
N
ON-FORMATERRORS
1. Transmitter does not check the FIRE System to determine file acceptability.
The results of your file transfer are posted to the FIRE System within two business days. It is your responsibility to verify file
acceptability and, if the file contains errors, you can get an online listing of the errors. Date received and number of payee records
are also displayed. If the file is good, but you do not wantthe file processed, you must contact IRS/ECC-MTB within 10
calendar days from the transmission of your file.
2. Incorrect file is not replaced timely.
If your fi
le is bad, correct the file and timely resubmit as a replacement.
3. Transmitter compresses several files into one.
Only compress one file at a time. For example, if you have 10 uncompressed files to send, compress each file separately and
send 10 separate compressed files.
4. Transmitter sends a file and CHECK FILE STATUS indicates that the file is good, but the transmitter wants to send a
replacement or correction file to replace the original/correction/replacement file.
Once a file has been transmitted, you cannot send a replacement file unless CHECK FILE STATUS indicates the file is bad
(1–2 business days after file was transmitted). If you do not want us to process the file, you must first contact ustoll-free
1–866–455–7438to see if this is a possibility.
5. Tran
smitter sends an original file that is good, and then sends a correction file for the entire file even though there are
onlyaf
ew changes.
The correction file, containing the proper coding, should only contain the records needing correction, not the entire file.
6. File is formatted as EBCDIC.
All files submitted electronicallymust be in standard ASCII code.
7. Transmitter has one TCC number, but is filing for multiple companies, which EIN should be used when logging
into the system to send the file?
When sending the file electronically, youwill need to enter the EIN of the company assigned to the TCC. When you upload the
file, it will contain the EINs of the other companies for which you are filing. This is the information that will be passed forward.
8. Transmitter sent the wrong file, what should be done?
Cal
l us as soon as possibletoll-free 1–866–455–7438. We may be able to stop the file before it has been processed.Please do not
sen
d a replacement for a file that is marked as a good file.
Part C. Tape Cartridge Specifications
.01Transmitters should be consistent in the use of recording codesand density on files. If the tape cartridge does not meet these
specifications, IRS/ECC-MTB will request a replacement file. Filers are encouraged to submit a test prior to submitting the actual

(3)Cartridges must be 18-track, 36-track, 128-track or 256-track parallel(See Note.)
(4)Cartridges will contain 37,871 CPI, 75,742 CPI, or 3590 CPI (characters per inch).
(5)Mode will be full function.
(6)The data may be compressed using EDRC (Memorex) or IDRC (IBM) compression.
(7)Either EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) or ASCII (American Standard Coded Information
Interchange) may be used.
.03The tape cartridge records definedin this Revenue Procedure may be blocked subject to the following:
(a)Ablockmust notexceed 32,250 tape positions.
(b)If the use of blocked records would result in a short block, all remaining positions of the block must be filled with 9s;
however, the last block of the file may be filled with 9s or truncated.Do not pad a block with blanks.
(c)All records, except the header and trailer labels, may be blocked or unblocked. A record may not contain any control fields
or block descriptor fields, which describe the length of the block or the logical records within the block. The number of
logical records within a block (the blocking factor) must be constant in every block with the exception of the last block,
which may be shorter (see item (b) above). Theblock length must be evenly divisible by 750.
(d)Records may not span blocks.
.04Tape cartridges may be labeled or unlabeled.
.05Donotsend encrypted data.
.06For the purposes of this Revenue Procedure, the following must be used:
Tape Mark:
(a)Signifies the physical end of the recording on tape.
(b)For even parity, use BCD configuration 001111 (8421).
(c)May follow the header label and precede and/or follow the trailer label.
Note: Filers should indicate on the external media label whether the cartridge is 18-track, 36-track, 128-track or 256-track.
Part D. Record Format Specifications and Record Layouts
Sec. 1. General
.01The specifications contained in this part of the Revenue Procedure define the required formation and contents of the records to
be included in the electronic or tape cartridge files.

educational institution, a broker, a person reporting a real estate transaction, a barter exchange, a creditor, a trustee or issuer of any
IRA or MSA plan, and a lender who acquires an interest in secured property or who has a reason to know that the property has been
abandoned. The payer will be held responsible for the completeness, accuracy, and timelysubmission of electronic/magnetic files.

for each payer and each type of return being reported.
.03The number of “A” Records depends on the number of payers and the different types of returns being reported. Do not submit
separate “A” Records for each payment amount being reported. For example, if a payer is filingForm 1099–DIV to report Amount
Codes 1, 2, and 3, all three amount codes should be reported under one “A” Record, not three separate “A” Records.
.04The maximum number of “A” Records allowed on a file is 90,000.
.05All records must be a fixed length of 750 positions.
.06All alpha characters entered inthe “A” Record must be upper case.

Sec. 6. Payee “B” Record — General Field Descriptions and Record Layouts
.01The “B” Record contains the payment information from the information returns. The record layout for field positions 1 through
543 is the same for all types of returns. Field positions 544 through 750 vary for each type of return toaccommodate special fields for
individual forms. In the “B” Record, the filermustallow for allfourteenPaymentAmountFields.For those fields not used, enter
“0s” (zeros).
.02The following specifications include a field in the payee records called “NameControl” in which the first four characters of
the payee’s surname are to be entered by the filer:
(a)If filers are unable to determine the first four characters of the surname, the Name Control Field may be left blank. Com-
pliance with the following will facilitate IRS computer programs in identifying the correct name control:
(1)ThesurnameofthepayeewhoseTINisshown in the “B” Record should always appear first. If, however, the records
have been developed using the first name first, the filer must leave a blank space between the first and last names.
(2)In the case of multiple payees, the surname of the payee whose TIN (SSN, EIN, ITIN, or ATIN) is shown in the “B”
Record must be present in the First Payee Name Line. Surnames of any other payees may be entered in the Second
Payee Name Line.
.03For all fields marked“Required”, the transmitter must provide the information described under “Description and Remarks”.
For those fields not marked“Required”, the transmitter must allow for the field, but may be instructed to enter blanks or zeros in the
indicated field position(s)and for the indicated length.
.04All records must be a fixed length of 750 positions.
.05A field is also provided in these specifications for Special DataEntries. This field may be used torecord information required
by state or local governments, or for the personal use of the filer. IRS does not use the data provided in the Special Data Entries Field;
therefore, the IRS program does not check the content or format ofthe data entered in this field. It is the filer’s option to use the
Special Data Entry Field.
.06Following the Special Data Entries Field in the “B” Record, payment fields have been allocatedfor State Income Tax Withheld
and Local Income Tax Withheld. These fields are for the convenience of the filers. The information will not be used by IRS/ECC-
MTB.
.07Those payers participating in the Combined Federal/State Filing Program must adhere to all of the specifications in Part A,
Sec. 13, to participate in this program.
.08All alpha characters in the “B” Record must be uppercase.
.09 Do notuse decimal points (.) to indicate dollars and cents. Payment Amount Fields must be all numeric characters.

Note: C, G, and non-coded records must be reported usingseparate Payer “A” Records. Refer to Part A, Sec. 11,
for specific instructions on how to file corrected returns.
7–10Name Control4If determinable, enter the first four characters of the surname of the
person whose TIN is being reported in positions 12-20 of the “B”
Record; otherwise,enter blanks. This usually is the payee. If the
name that corresponds to the TIN is not included in the first or sec-
ond payee name line and the correctname control is not provided,
a backup withholding notice may be generated for the record. Sur-
names of less than four characters should be left-justified, filling
the unused positions with blanks. Special characters and imbedded
blanks should be removed. In the case of a business, other than a sole
proprietorship, use the first four significant characters of the busi-
ness name. Disregard the word “the” when it is the first word of the
name, unless there are only two words in the name. A dash (-) and an
ampersand (&) are the only acceptable special characters. Surname
prefixes are considered, e.g., for Van Elm, the name control would be
VANE. For a sole proprietorship, use the name of the owner to create
the name control and report the owner’s name in positions 248–287,
First Payee Name Line.
Note: Imbedded blanks, extraneous words, titles, and specialcharacters (i.e., Mr., Mrs., Dr., period [.], apostrophe [’])
should be removed from the Payee Name Lines. This information may be dropped during subsequent processing at
IRS/ECC-MTB. A dash (-) and an ampersand (&) are the only acceptable special characters.

Note: If you are required to report payments made through Foreign Intermediaries and Foreign Flow-Through Entities on

Number For

20Required if submitting more than one information return of the
same type for the same payee.Enter any number assigned by the
payer to the payee that can be used by the IRS to distinguish between
information returns. This number must be unique for each informa-
tion return of the same type for the same payee. If a payee has more
than one reporting of the same document type, it is vital that each re-
porting have a unique account number. For example, if a payer has
3 separate pension distributionsfor the same payee and 3 separate
Forms 1099–R are filed, 3 separate unique account numbers are re-
quired. A payee’s account number may be given a unique sequencing
number, such as 01, 02 or A, B, etc., to differentiate each reported in-
formation return. Do not use the payee’s TIN since this will not make
each record unique. This information is critical when corrections are
filed. This number will be provided with the backup withholding no-
tification and may be helpful in identifying the branch or subsidiary
reporting the transaction. The account number can be any combi-
nation of alpha, numeric or special characters. If fewer than twenty
characters are used, filers may either left or right-justify, filling the
remaining positions with blanks.
41–44Payer’s Office

Required. Filers should allow for all payment amounts. For
those not used, enter zeros.Each payment field must contain 12
numeric characters. Each payment amount must contain U.S. dollars
and cents. The right-most two positions represent cents in the pay-
ment amount fields.Do not enter dollar signs, commas, decimal
points, or negative payments, except those items that reflect a loss
on Form 1099–B or 1099–Q.Positive and negative amounts are in-
dicated by placing a “+” (plus) or “-” (minus) sign in the left-most
position of the payment amount field. A negative over punch in the
unit’s position may be used, instead of a minus sign, to indicate a
negative amount. If a plus sign, minus sign, or negative over punch
is not used, the number is assumed to be positive. Negative over
punch cannot be used in PC created files. Payment amounts must be
right-justified and unused positions must be zero filled.

.01An e
xtension of time to file may be requested for Forms 1098,1099, 5498, 5498–SA, 5498–ESA, W–2G, W–2 series, 8027
and 104
2–S.
.02For
m 8809, Application for Extension of Time To File Information Returns, should be submitted to IRS/ECC-MTB at the
addres
s listed in .08 of this section. This form may be used to request an extension of time to file information returns submitted on
paper,
electronically or magnetically tothe IRS. Use a separate Form 8809 for each methodof filing information returns you intend
to use,
i.e., electronically, magnetically or paper.
.03To b
e considered, an extension request must be postmarked or transmitted by the due date of the returns; otherwise, the request
will be
denied. (See Part A, Sec. 9, for due dates.) If requesting an extension of time to file several types of forms, use one Form
8809; h
owever, Form 8809 or file must be postmarked no later than theearliest due date. For example, if requesting an extension of
time t
o file both Forms 1099–INT and 5498, submit Form 8809 on or before February 28, 2006.
.04 As s
oonasitisapparentthat a 30-day extension of time to file is needed, an extension request should be submitted. It will take
amini
mum of 30 days for IRS/ECC-MTB to respond to an extension request. Generally, IRS/ECC-MTB does not begin processing
exten
sion requests until January. Extension requests received prior to January are input on a first come, first serve basis.
.05Un
der certain circumstances, a request for an extension of time may be denied. When a denial letter is received, any additional
or nec
essary information may be resubmitted within 20 days.
.06Re
questing an extension of time for multiple payers (50 or less) may be done by submitting Form 8809 and attaching a list
of the
payer names and associated TINs (EIN or SSN).The listing must be attached to ensure an extension is recorded for all
payer
s.Form 8809 may be computer-generated or photocopied. Be sureto use the most recently updated version and include all the
perti
nent information.
.07Re
quests for an extension of time tofile for more than 50 payers arerequiredto be submitted electronically or magnetically.
IRS en
courages requests for 10 to 50 payers to be filed electronicallyor magnetically. (See Sec. 3, for the record layout.) The request
may be
filed electronically or on tape cartridges.
August 7, 20062172006–32 I.R.B.

.08All requests for an extension of time filed on Form 8809 or tape cartridge should be sent using the following address:
IRS-Enterprise Computing Center — Martinsburg
Information Reporting Program
Attn: Extension of Time Coordinator
240 Murall Drive
Kearneysville, WV 25430
Note: Due to the large volume of mail received by IRS/ECC-MTB and the time factor involved in processing Extension of
Time (EOT) requests, it is imperative that the attention line be present on all envelopes or packages containing Form 8809.
.09Requests for extensions of time to file postmarked by the United States Postal Service on or before the due date of the returns,
and delivered by United States mail to IRS/ECC-MTB after the due date, are treated astimely under the “timely mailing as timely
filing” rule. A similar rule applies to designated private delivery services (PDSs). See Part A, Sec. 9, for more information on PDSs.
For requests delivered by a designated PDS, but through a non-designated service, the actual date of receipt by IRS/ECC-MTB will
be used as the filing date.
.10Transmitters requesting an extension of time for multiple payers will receive one approval letter, accompanied by a list of payers
covered under that approval.
.11If an additional extension of time is needed, a second Form 8809 or file must be filed by the initial extended due date. Check
line 7 on the form to indicate that an additional extension is being requested. A second 30-day extension will be approved only in
cases of extreme hardship or catastrophic event.If requesting a second 30-day extension of time, submit the information return
filesassoonasprepared.DonotwaitforECC-MTB’s response to your second extension request.
.12If an extension request is approved, the approval letter should be kept on file.DO NOTsend the approval letter or copy of the
approval letter to IRS/ECC-MTB with the tape cartridge file or to the service center where the paper returns are filed.
.13Request an extension for only one tax year.

.02Requests for an extension of time to furnishstatements to recipients ofForms 1098, 1099 series, 5498 series, W–2G, W–2 series,
and 1042–S are not automatically approved; however, if approved, generally an extension will allow aMAXIMUMof 30 additional

extensions. If you are requesting an extension for multiple payers electronically or magnetically, you must use the format specifica-
tions in Sec. 4 (See Sec. 1.07).

2006–32 I.R.B.220August 7, 2006

Sec. 5. Form 8508, Request for Waiver From Filing Information Returns
Electronically/Magnetically
.01If a payer is required to file on magnetic media but fails to do so (or fails to file electronically in lieu of magnetic media filing)
and does not have an approved waiver on record, the payer will be subject to a penalty of $50 per return in excess of 250. (For penalty
information, refer to the Penalty Section of the2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W–2G.)
.02If payers are required to file original or corrected returns on magnetic media, but such filing would create an undue hardship,
they may request a waiver from these filing requirements by submitting Form 8508, Request for Waiver From Filing Information
Returns Electronically/Magnetically, to IRS/ECC-MTB. Form 8508 can be obtained on the IRS website atw
ww.irs.govor by calling
toll-free 1–800–829–3676.
.03Even though a payer may submit as many as 249 corrections on paper, IRS encourages electronic or magnetic filing of correc-
tions. Once the 250 threshold has been met, filers are required to submit any returns of 250 or more electronically or magnetically.
However, if a waiver for original documents is approved, any corrections for the same type of returns will be covered under that
waiver.
.04Generally, only the payer may sign Form 8508. A transmitter may sign if given power of attorney; however, a letter signed by
the payer stating this fact must be attached to Form 8508.
.05A transmitter must submit a separate Form 8508 for each payer. Do not submit a list of payers.
.06All information requested on Form 8508 must beprovided to IRS for the request to be processed.
.07The waiver, if approved, will provide exemption from the magnetic media filing requirement for the current tax year only.
Payers may not apply for a waiver for more than one tax year at a time; application must be made each year a waiver is necessary.
.08Form 8508 may be photocopied or computer-generated as long as itcontains all the information requested on the original form.
.09Filers are encouraged to submit Form 8508 to IRS/ECC-MTB at least 45 days before the due date of the returns. Generally,
IRS/ECC-MTB does not process waiver requests until January. Waiver requests received prior to January are processed on a first
come, first serve basis.
.10All requests for a waiver should be sent using the following address:
IRS-Enterprise Computing Center — Martinsburg
Information Reporting Program
Attn: Extension of Time Coordinator
240 Murall Drive
Kearneysville, WV 25430
.11 File Form 8508 for the W–2 series of forms with IRS/ECC-MTB, not SSA.
.12Waivers are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are approved ordenied based on criteria set forth in the regulations under
section 6011(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. The transmitter must allow a minimum of 30 days for IRS/ECC-MTB to respond to a
waiver request.
.13If a waiver request is approved, keep the approval letter on file.DO NOTsend a copy of the approved waiver to the service
center where the paper returns are filed.
.14An approved waiver only applies to the requirement for filing information returns electronically/magnetically. The payer must
still timely file information returns on the official IRS paper formsor an acceptable substitute form with the appropriate service center.

Definition of Terms
Revenue rulings and revenue procedures
(hereinafter referred to as “rulings”) that
have an effect on previous rulings use the
following defined terms to describe the ef-
fect:
Amplifieddescribes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior pub-
lished position, but the prior position is be-
ingextendedtoapplytoavariationofthe
fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if
an earlier ruling held that a principle ap-
plied to A, and the new ruling holds that the
same principle also applies to B, the earlier
ruling is amplified. (Compare withmodi-
fied,below).
Clarifiedis used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is be-
ing made clear because the language has
caused, or may cause, some confusion.
It is not used where a position in a prior
ruling is being changed.
Distinguisheddescribes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously pub-
lished ruling and points out an essential
difference between them.
Modifiedis used where the substance
of a previously published position is being
changed. Thus, if a prior ruling held that a
principle applied to A but not to B, and the
new ruling holds that it applies to both A
and B, the prior ruling is modified because
it corrects a published position. (Compare
withamplifiedandclarified, above).
Obsoleteddescribes a previously pub-
lished ruling that is not considered deter-
minative with respect to future transac-
tions. This term is most commonly used in
a ruling that lists previously published rul-
ings that are obsoleted because of changes
in laws or regulations. A ruling may also
be obsoleted because the substance has
been included in regulations subsequently
adopted.
Revokeddescribes situations where the
position in the previously published ruling
is not correct and the correct position is
beingstatedinanewruling.
Supersededdescribes a situation where
the new ruling does nothing more than re-
state the substance and situation of a previ-
ously published ruling (or rulings). Thus,
the term is used to republish under the
1986 Code and regulations the same po-
sition published under the 1939 Code and
regulations. The term is also used when
it is desired to republish in a single rul-
ing a series of situations, names, etc., that
were previously published over a period of
time in separate rulings. If the new rul-
ing does more than restate the substance
of a prior ruling, a combination of terms
is used. For example,modifiedandsu-
persededdescribes a situation where the
substance of a previously published ruling
is being changed in part and is continued
without change in part and it is desired to
restate the valid portion of the previously
published ruling in a new ruling that is self
contained. In this case, the previously pub-
lished ruling is first modified and then, as
modified, is superseded.
Supplementedis used in situations in
which a list, such as a list of the names of
countries, is published in a ruling and that
list is expanded by adding further names in
subsequent rulings. After the original rul-
ing has been supplemented several times, a
new ruling may be published that includes
the list in the original ruling and the ad-
ditions, and supersedes all prior rulings in
the series.
Suspendedis used in rare situations
to show that the previous published rul-
ings will not be applied pending some
future action such as the issuance of new
or amended regulations, the outcome of
cases in litigation, or the outcome of a
Service study.
