Software Testing and Pilot of the 1120-A/PC Format Return

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice to announce 1120-A/PC software testing and 1120-A/PC 
Pilot.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Starting January 3, 1994, the Internal Revenue Service will 
begin software testing their new format return 1120-A/PC (U.S. 
Corporation Short Form Income Tax Return). And, by March 15, 1994 the 
IRS will use the accepted software to pilot the Nationwide 1120-A/PC 
program at their New York Brookhaven Service Center.

DATES: Parties interested in participating in the software testing 
should contact IRS, Alternative Ways of Filing 1120- A/PC Program 
Analyst, Rose Schulkers at [phone] or write the Internal Revenue 
Service at the following address: Internal Revenue Service, Alternative 
Ways of Filing, Input Enhancements, Attn: 1120-A/PC Analyst, T:I:A:E, 
room 4068, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20224.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The IRS Alternative Ways of Filing 
1120- A/PC Program Analyst at 202-283-0260.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 1120-A/PC Format will be generated on a 
personal computer in an answer sheet format to primarily decrease the 
amount of paper needed when filing a return. Less paper means less 
processing and quicker refunds.
    The software will include user-friendly type menus, print only 
significant line entries, and include specific types of pre-validated 
math calculations. IRS will provide software specifications. The 
software is subject to IRS acceptance for use and will be encoded as 
such. The software accepted would then be marketed by the developers 
themselves for use by the general public, or by taxpreparers to use in 
their practices. No reimbursement for any costs connected with 
providing the requested information will be made by the IRS. This 
announcement is for informational purpose, and does not constitute an 
IFB, RFP, or RFQ, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the 
IRS.
    The 1120-A/PC Format Return will be available to any business 
eligible to file an 1120-A return.
