IRS Remittance Processing Overview

Remittance Processing Overview

  1. This IRM provides procedures for Collection Field function (CFf) remittance processing. All remittances secured by Collection Field function (CFf) employees (whether in the field or in the office, whether in person or by mail) must be transmitted promptly to meet Service goals for timely deposit. See Title 31, U.S. Code § 3302.

  2. These procedures apply primarily to revenue officers (ROs). Procedures for managers and clerical staff are incorporated under the applicable subsection.

  3. Submission Processing is responsible for processing the remittances. See the Collection Field Office Payment Processing"Collection" page at: http://hqnotes1.hq.irs.gov/SubmissionProcessing/SPWebPage.nsf/319d028917d59aa38525684b004cf7ba/72abd89f115b81338525734e005a4f67?OpenDocument . This site provides a list of the key remittance processing contacts and additional information.

    Note:

    Much of the information contained on the web site is designated "Official Use Only (OUO)" and the information is primarily for CFf employees.

  4. Form 795 /795A, Daily Report of Collection Activity, is used to transmit remittances. Remittances must be sent to the appropriate designated Submission Processing Center on the day they were collected or as soon as possible the next business day to meet Service goals for timely deposit and avoid unnecessary delays in processing. See IRM 5.1.2.4, Daily Report of Collection Activity — Form 795 for further information on report procedures.

    Note:

    Local management is responsible for establishing a procedure to handle the processing of remittances and returns that are directed to employees who are away from the office. Clerical staff cannot prepare payment posting documents. See IRM 5.1.2.4 for further details.
