    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.
