Overview: This IRM section provides an overview of the NMFTM Command Code.
-
Purpose: This IRM contains procedural steps for use of the NMFTM Command code NMFTM establishes Automated Non-Master ob体育 (ANMF) tax delinquent account (TDA) data on the Taxpayer Information ob体育 (TIF) data base. These are accounts that either: Have become Taxpayer Delinquent Accounts (TDA), or are activated 53'd tax modules.
-
Audience: These procedures apply to IRS employees who are responsible for the processing of NMFTM records. These employees are located in the following areas: Large & Medium-Sized Business, Small Business/Self-Employed, Tax-Exempt & Government Entity’s, and Wage & Investment.
-
Policy Owner: The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is responsible for overseeing all aspects of our systems that operate the nation’s tax infrastructure.
-
Program Owner: IT
-
Primary Stakeholders: Large & Medium-Sized Business, Small Business/Self-Employed, Tax-Exempt & Government Entity’s, and Wage & Investment
-
Program Goals: This IRM provides the fundamental knowledge and procedural guidance for employees who work with NMFTM cases. By following the processes and procedures provided by this IRM, employees will process NMFTM cases in a manner that follows IRS policy and procedures while promoting the best interests of the Government
-
This IRM and the contained sections provide the user with the necessary information on how to use NMFTM.

NMFTM was developed to establish ANMF tax delinquent accounts on the TIF
-
The NMFTM programmer is responsible for
-
Review and implementation of work requests that affect the NMFTM program
-
Updating the contents of the IRM
-
-
Program Reports Entity Records. NMFTM establishes ANMF record on the TIF database

-
CC-NMFTM blank definer:

-
-
CC-NMFTM definer ‘1’:
-
Generated by CC-NMFTM with blank definer
-
Displayed when the input TIN is not present on TIF, or when a dummy entity is present
-
Provides input fields for the taxpayer's address, and Business Operating Division Codes, and Form 5147 CLC
-
Automatically computes the Collection Location Code (CLC), using the taxpayer's zip code. (Note:The computed CLC will be overlaid if a valid form 5147 CLC is present on the input screen.)
-
Computes the collection Controlling Service Center Code from the Collection Location Code.
-
Builds the full entity on the TIF data base
-
Generates CC-NMFTM2 input screen as a valid response
-
-
CC-NMFTM2 definer ‘2’:

Displayed when the tax module is not present on TIF for the input MFT and Tax Period, or a dummy tax module is present on TIF
-
Provides input fields for notice dates, the tax module transactions, dates, and amounts
-
Builds the full tax module on the TIF data base
-
Generates ‘REQUEST COMPLETE’ output screen as a valid response
-
-
CC-NMFTM ESTABLISHMENTS:

-
-
Notice History date(s)
-
Input using CC-NMFTM2
-
Must be present for the First notice
-
See CC-NMFTM2 input screen, Element 14, for valid notice types
-
-
Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED):

-
Re-computed by Weekend Analysis based on the tax module assessments, and TC 550 extension dates
-
-
Abstract Number(s):
-
Are NOT input for MFT Codes that have only one abstract number
-
Must be input for an MFT Code with multiple Abstract Numbers
-
See CC-NMFTM2 input screen, Element 40, for the MFT Codes that require Abstract fields, and the respective abstract numbers
-
-
Abstract amount(s):
-
Tax return abstract amounts must balance with the Total Tax Liability Amount, or the total of the input TC 240 Amounts (if no Total Tax Liability Amount is present) [See CC-NMFTM2 input screen, Element 42]
-
Audit or DP Adjustment Abstract Amounts are required to balance with the Audit or DP Adjustment Transaction Amount [See CC-NMFTM2 input screen, Element 55]
-
-
All input screen transactions:
-
Are posted on TIF in the order in which they are entered on the formatted input screen (left to right, top to bottom of the screen)
-
Are not consistency checked for the sequence of transaction data (e.g. not checks to ensure that a reversal transaction follows the reversed transaction, or that an audit assessment follows a TC 420, etc.)
-
-
Standard Transactions
-
Are transactions other than Audit/DP Adjustment, or DAR Transactions
-
See CC-NMFTM2 input screen for values
-
-
The Module Balance Amount must equal the algebraic total of the input Transaction Amounts.
-
The Total Tax Liability must be input to generate Transaction Code 150. (A zero dollar amount (.00) is valid.)
-
Tax Modules are established in Status 26 (TDA). (Both the MF Status History record, and the SC Status History record)
-
CC-NMFTM is a prerequisite for CC-NMFST. (To accommodate tax modules that contain more transactions, than can be input with CC-NMFTM.)
-
CC-NMFTM can not build cross-reference data.
-
CC-NMFTM can not consistency check credit transfers between two or more modules.
-
‘COMMAND CODE DEFINER INVALID’ — Command code definer is not blank, 1, or 2.
-
'ACCESS DENIED —INPUT SERVICE CENTER MUST BE CSC OR PSC —Input of NMFTM is restricted to the ANMF Service Centers, which are CSC & PSC.
-
'ACCESS DENIED — CC IS RESTRICTED TO SBSE COMPLIANCE TIFS'— CMODE is being used to access a Service Center that is not SBSE.
-
‘REQUEST DENIED - IMPROPER INITIALIZATION’ — CC-NMFTM1 was not preceded with a valid CC-NMFTM blank definer request; or CC-NMFTM2 was not preceded with a valid CC-NMFTM blank definer request or a valid CC-NMFTM1 request.
-
‘ID CHANGED - REINITIALIZE’ — The CC-NMFTM1 or CC-NMFTM2 request has a TIN, MFT Code, or tax period which differs from the preceding valid input.
