How APS Establishes a Case with Transferee and Income Tax Liabilities

  1. When a transferee/transferor case is received that contains both transferee and income tax liabilities, it is established in one of two ways: (1) the transferee liability and transferor case are established as one work unit and the income tax liability as a separate work unit; or (2) if the income tax liability is related to the transferee/transferor adjustments, all are established in one work unit by using a TIN modifier (A through J) to distinguish the transferee case.

  2. Establish the transferee and income tax (related) cases first and the transferor (key case) last.
