PURPOSE(S):
The records are an integral part of the accounting system at the principal operating location, agency regional offices, and specific area locations.

In the event of an overpayment to an individual, the record is used to establish a receivable record for recovery of the amount claimed. The records are also used internally to develop reports to the U. S. Department of Treasury and applicable state and local taxing officials of taxable income. This is a Department-wide notice of payment and collection activities at all locations listed under System Locations above.
