FZ> - - Master File left and right hand freeze codes. (Document 6209 at 8-61 and LEM 3(27)(68)0). Master File Freeze Codes- Master file processing uses alpha codes to identify specific conditions that are generated either systemically, during the processing operation, or manually, through input of a transaction code. These alpha codes are commonly referred to as "freeze" codes. This term is misleading since not all alpha codes indicate activity within a module or account is frozen. Various IDRS, (Integrated Data Retrieval System) conditions also affect the status of a module. Assessment/abatement actions, refunds, offsets, status updates, issuance of TDA (Taxpayer Delinquent Account) balance due notices or suspension of a CSED (Collection Statute Expiration Date) can be affected by these alpha codes or IDRS conditions. A freeze places a taxpayers account in a condition which requires additional action before the account can be settled.

Designated Payment Codes (DPC) are two digit codes which serve a three-fold purpose. Use of a DPC on all posting vouchers is now mandatory with Transaction Codes 640, 670, 680, 694, and 690. DPCs are used to:

(a) facilitate identification of payments which are designated to trust fund or non-trust fund employment taxes. In such cases, they are input with payments to Form 941 (MFT 01), Form 720 (MFT 03), Form CT-1 (MFT 09), Form 943 (MFT 11), and Form 1042 (MFT 12).

(b) indicate application of a payment to a specific liability when the civil penalty contains both Trust Fund Recovery penalty and any other type of civil penalty. In these cases, they are input to MFT 55 only.

(c) identify the event which resulted in a payment. This is done at the time that a payment is processed and may be used with any MFT to which the payment transaction code will post. Data from this type of input is accumulated on a national basis to determine the revenue effectiveness of specific collection activities. (11-70, 97 ed.).

00 DPC not present on posting voucher. Used only for terminal input when DPC is not present. Not to be used on posting voucher.
