1998 Electronic Filing: Low-Income Housing Credit Forms
AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.
ACTION: Low-Income Housing Credit forms.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Internal Revenue Service is planning to conduct an
automated pilot program during 1998 for filing Low-Income Housing
Credit forms to be filed electronically (via modem to modem). This
pilot program will be available without geographic limitation, although
all processing is centralized at the Internal Revenue Service Center in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Participants must have secured prior
authorization from the Internal Revenue Service. Interested parties can
obtain information by writing or calling the IRS. Comments on the
program are welcome.
DATES: Application can be submitted year round.
ADDRESSES: Internal Revenue Service, Philadelphia Service Center,
Magnetic Media Project Office, D.P. 115, 11601 Roosevelt Blvd.,
Philadelphia, PA 19154. Telephone: (800) 829-6945 or (215) 516-7533
(not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is receiving an increasing number of
computer-prepared forms, and is exploring methods to use the
flexibility provided by computer preparation to achieve processing
efficiencies. Electronic filing eliminates most of the manual processes
required by IRS to handle paper documents, which will increase the
quality of the final product, speed up the processing and reduce
unnecessary correspondence.
Generally, the procedures for electronic filing will require all
the data currently supplied on the paper form including attachments
which usually accompany the form. Additionally, filers will be required
to test before acceptance into the program. The LIHC pilot program is
being offered to State Housing Agencies and software developers.

Director, Philadelphia Service Center.
