1.13.4  Form 1040 NAICS Coding

1.13.4.1  (03-01-1999)
Purpose

  1. This Chapter provides instructions for North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) coding individual income tax returns, Forms 1040, which are processed for Statistics of Income (SOI) at the service centers, and should be used in conjunction with IRM 1.13.5, Statistical Editing of Individual Income Tax Returns.

1.13.4.2  (03-01-1999)
General Information

  1. NAICS classification codes 111110–113000 are assigned to Schedules F and reflect farm crop and animal husbandry activities. NAICS classification codes 112900, 113000–999999 are assigned to Schedules C and reflect other animal production (including breeding of cats and dogs), agricultural services provided for a fee and non-farm production and service activities.

  2. Since taxpayers can have receipts/sales from farm production activities as well as farm related services, they should use both Schedules F and C to report their income. However, some do not assign industry codes on the basis of the descriptive activity reported on the schedule being processed.

  3. The NAICS codes which are to be used are listed in numeric order in Exhibit 1.13.4–1.

  4. The use of the Other Category and Unclassified Establishments codes is explained below. The use of code 999999 must be either approved by your supervisor or reviewed in NAICS = 999999 on a daily basis.

    1. Other Category/Other Support Services—Use this code when the industry is known, but is generally included in broader based catch aIls. For example, "glass and glazing contractor" would be included in 235900, "Other special trade contractors" . Another example would be "special trade contractor" with no other clues, being coded as 235900.

    2. Unclassified Establishments (code 999999)—Use "Unclassified Establishments" code only when every effort to identify the business activity has been unsuccessful.

    3. Consult the North American Industry Classification System before assigning an Other Category/Other Support Services code or a "Unclassified Establishment" code.

  5. If any Schedule C or C-EZ does not meet the criteria for a legitimate proprietorship specified in 4.3, enter code 910100. Income and expense items may need to be moved to other parts of the return record when code 910100 is used. See Chapter 1.13.5 and 4.3 in this chapter for specific instances.

1.13.4.3  (03-01-1999)
Basic Individual SOI Program

  1. If Income reported on the Schedule C is also reported on a Form W–2, the income should be removed from the Schedule C and edited on 1040, line 7, Salaries and Wages. Examples of occupations which may incorrectly report their Salaries and Wages on the Schedule C are those of Retail Salesperson, Manufacturer’s Representative, Sales Representative, or Sales Agent. Another group of occupations that may incorrectly report W–2 Wages as Schedule C Income is Actor/Actress, Author, Artist, Commentator, Insurance Salesman, Minister, Sexton, Chaplain, Notary Public, and Trustee or Director.

    1. If any of these occupations, or others not listed here, have W–2 income being reported on the Schedule C, the income must be removed from the Schedule C.

    2. If the only income reported on the Schedule C is W–2 income, it will be necessary to 910100 the Schedule C when the situation merits. The editor will first enter 910100 on line B. If there are more Schedule C’s to be edited, the system will take the editor to the next C. The editor must edit all of the C’s and after they are completed the system will cause the editor to be taken out of the return and the return should be taken to the lead editor. The editor will get the return back from the Lead Editor and will enter the W–2 income from the Schedule C on 1040, line 7 if it has not already been performed by the Lead Editor. If there are expenses on lines 8–30, the editor will edit the total expenses to 1040, line 31d.

    3. In some cases, the taxpayer may have wages reported on Form W–2 and Additional Income for similar business activity that is not covered by a Form W–2 as Salaries and Wages. The wages from the W–2 should be edited to the Form 1040. The remaining income will be left on Schedule C.

    4. For example: an actor is employed by a studio and has Form W–2 income of $100,000 reported and included on the Schedule C. Gross Income on Schedule C shows $300,000. It is quite likely that the actor received income for appearances or other acting jobs. For this example $100,000 would be edited as Salaries and Wages on the Form 1040, line 7 and $200,000 will be left in the Gross Income Fields for Schedule C. There will be no pro-rating of expenses to income and all expenses will be left on Schedule C.

  2. Additional data that may be incorrectly reported on the Schedule C and which will require editing to other schedules are listed in (4) (a) through (I) below. On-line IMF-SOl processing requires that the Schedule C be processed first, followed by all other schedules. Since the other schedules cannot be accessed until Schedule C processing is complete, the following steps are required.

  3. If it is determined that all data are incorrectly reported on the Schedule C, edit ‘910100’ as the NAICS Code on line B. This classifies the Schedule C as an Invalid Proprietorship. If editing in the Regular Mode, a ‘910100’ in line B will mark the return for lead editor review and you will be taken out of the return after all other Schedules C for that return have been edited. Do not edit ‘910100’ as the NAICS code when the return is an ETE-TPUS return or when editing a Schedule C worksheet. If the lead editor confirms that the Schedule C meets the ‘910100’ criteria, the schedule should be completed using the Form Edit Menu option of the Lead Editor Menu. While the cursor is positioned on the NAICS code field the [PF2] key will display a 910100 calculator window, enabling the lead editor to move the Sch. C income to Form 1040 (line 7 or 21 a) or Schedule E (line 4) and Sch. C expenses to 1040 line 31d. The [DO] key will move the amounts entered and the [PF4] key will exit the window without making changes. After the lead editor has moved the Sch. C amounts via the 910100 calculator window, press [F18] and then [RETURN] to move the cursor to the bottom of the preliminary screen where you will be given the option to press [REMOVE] to delete the Schedule C. By pressing [REMOVE], the Schedule C you are working on will have the information erased. If only part of the data is incorrectly reported, do not edit ’910100’ but instead edit the correct NAICS Code on line B.

  4. The following is a list of the conditions for which NAICS Code ‘910100’ is acceptable. Otherwise, all other Schedules C will constitute Valid Proprietorship Activity and are to receive the correct NAICS Code. If data reported on a Schedule C are not clearly covered by the conditions below, assume it is a Valid Proprietorship. ‘910100’ all of the following conditions:

    1. The Schedule C shows only Royalty Income and no Expenses. The income will be reported on the Schedule E:4. (Edit to the Schedule E only if an E is already present. Never dummy a Schedule E.) If there is no Schedule E present, the income will be edited on 1040, line 21a.

    2. The Schedule C is for a Partnership, Syndicate, Pool, or Joint Venture and there are no Expenses. The income will be reported on the Schedule E as a partnership. (Edit to the Schedule E only if an E is already present. Never dummy a Schedule E). If there is no Schedule E present, the income will be edited on 1040, line 21a.

    3. A husband and wife are filing a joint return with two separate Schedules C for one EIN number or a husband and wife are filing a joint return with two Schedules C and the EINs are missing or illegible but it appears that Income and Expenses are split. Combine the separate amounts to one Schedule C and assign the appropriate NAICS Code. Assign ‘910100’ to the Schedule C which is leftover.

    4. The Schedule C shows Oil Production based on a Fractional Interest or Oil Participation Funds and no Expenses. The income will be reported on the Schedule E:4. (Edit to the Schedule E only if an E is already present. Never dummy a Schedule E.) If there is no Schedule E present, the income will be edited on 1040, line 21a.

    5. The Schedule C shows only Expenses which are related to Form W–2 income. Expenses should be moved to Form 1040, line 31d.

    6. The Schedule C shows Farm Activity as determined by the NAICS Code. Editing instructions for the Schedule F will describe the lines to which the amount should be moved. (Do not create a Schedule F. Move only if a Schedule F already exists.)

    7. If the Schedule C shows Directors (Fees), Trustees (Fees) or Honoraria with no expenses, edit the income to Form 1040, line 7.

    8. If the Schedule C shows Consulting (Fees) with no Expenses, edit the income to Form 1040, Line 21a.

    9. An extra Schedule C was filed for the purpose of computing the Passive Activity Loss for Alternative Minimum Tax and was transcribed by Revenue Processing.

    10. If the Schedule C falls into one or more of the above categories, and should be ‘910100’, but there is more than one occupation listed (i.e. Directors (Fees)/Consulting (Fees)), edit the income to 1040, line 21a.

    11. If the Schedule C only shows a NOL deduction, edit the amount to 1040:21 c.

    12. If the Schedule C has no income nor expenses, but has information filled in for Box A through H and RP processed it.

  5. On returns that have more than three Schedules C and combining has taken place by Revenue Processing, or if editing the schedules as worksheets, if a Schedule C meets the criteria for ’910100’ and it was not combined with another schedule, then simply omit this schedule and edit the income to the appropriate line on Form 1040 or Schedule E. If a Schedule C is eligible for ‘910100’ and has been combined with other schedules, uncombine the schedules and only edit the Schedules C that contain valid data. Edit the income to the appropriate line on Form 1040 or Schedule E for the schedule which is to be "910100’ed" .

  6. If the schedule describes "Hobby Activities" , DO NOT change these data to any other part of the return.

  7. The system will change the sequence numbers of the remaining Schedules C after a 910100 has been completed. An example would be if the second Schedule C has been coded 910100 and removed by the lead. The system will delete sequence 2 and change the sequence number of the third Schedule C to 2.

1.13.4.4  (03-01-1999)
Determination of NAICS Code

  1. The following information covers processing for the Individual SOI program for Tax Year 1998.

1.13.4.4.1  (03-01-1999)
Sources of Proprietorship Information

  1. The industry code assigned to a proprietorship schedule should reflect the activity from which the proprietorship derived the largest portion of its "Gross Receipts" . In order to assign the most precise NAICS code, the coder should consider the following items:

    1. the nature of the income and expense items,

    2. the proprietorship name,

    3. the description of the proprietorship activity, and

    4. the North American Industry Classification System

  2. When assigning a NAICS industry code, do not assume that the proprietorship is engaged in the same activity that is indicated on a Form W–2 accompanying the return. For example, if the taxpayer has a legitimate proprietorship schedule indicating retail sales and the Form W–2 shows that the Form W–2 employer is in the furniture business, do not assume that the taxpayer’s proprietorship activity has to be furniture sales.

1.13.4.4.2  (03-01-1999)
Two or More Proprietorship Activities on One Schedule

  1. If "Gross Receipts" from two or more proprietorship activities are combined and the largest source of "Gross Receipts" cannot be determined, treat the schedule as one proprietorship and base the NAICS code on the activity which is listed first on the schedule.

  2. If "Gross Receipts" from two or more different proprietorship activities are reported separately and the expenses are also reported separately, treat the schedule as two proprietorships and assign the appropriate NAICS codes.

  3. If "Gross Receipts" from two or more proprietorship activities are reported separately and the expenses are combined, treat the schedule as one proprietorship and base the NAICS code on the largest source of "Gross Receipts" .

1.13.4.4.3  (03-01-1999)
Coding Separate Proprietorship Schedules of Husband and Wife

  1. The purpose of the following instructions is to prevent one proprietorship from being counted as two proprietorships as a result of the division of income or expenses between husband and wife.

    1. Any return — If the net profit from a proprietorship is split between husband and wife for self-employment tax purposes only and the Schedules C have the same EIN, combine the Schedules C, code the schedule amounts and assign the appropriate NAICS code.

    2. Joint return — If a husband and wife file a joint return and divide between them the income and expenses from one proprietorship, combine the separate amounts and assign the appropriate NAICS code.

    3. Separate return of husband — Code the husband’s proprietorship schedule according to the instructions provided in this chapter.

    4. Separate return of wife — If the wife’s proprietorship schedule results from the division of one proprietorship between husband and wife, code hers "910100" .

    5. Schedule filed by surviving spouse — A proprietorship schedule filed by a surviving spouse, which shows a division of income or expenses, should be coded as follows:

    IF THEN
    There is an indication that the proprietorship data are split between a Form 1041 (Fiduciary) and a Form 1040 Assign an NAICS industry code based on the proprietorship data applicable to the Form 1040.
    There is no reference to Form 1041 or "Fiduciary Income" Follow the instructions in (l)(b) above.

1.13.4.4.4  (03-01-1999)
Additional Information for NAICS Coding Specific Types of Proprietorship Activity

  1. Oil Production Activity—Use the information below to accurately NAICS code schedules reporting oil production activity.

    1. If the principal business activity is petroleum exploration, or development, or production, the NAICS code may be either 211110 or 910100.

    2. If royalties are the only source of income on a Schedule C and there are no expenses, assign code 910100 according to 4.2. Also see 4.3:(4)(a) for references. When other sources of income are reported, assign the NAICS code without regard to the royalty income.

    IF THEN
    There is a clear indication of a division of the income, expenses, or interest, such as "fractional interest," "1/64 interest," "1/4 to J. Smith," "1/4 working interest," "oil participation," etc. and there are no expenses... Use code 910100 (according to text 4.2)
    Note: The phrase "working interest" alone does not indicate a divided interest. Also, see text 4.3:(4)(a)–(b) for line references.  
    The proprietorship is legitimate and deals with petroleum exploration, development, or production... Use code 211110

  2. Farm Activity — Use the information below to accurately NAICS code farm proprietorship schedules.

    1. When a schedule reports farm receipts or expenses directly related to farming, use the appropriate Schedule F code (111100–113000) even though the income from Schedule C activities, such as plowing, trucking, or machine work may be the largest item. This refers to those situations where the farmer’s income, from activities such as plowing, exceeds the farming income in an atypical year. It does not refer to those taxpayers who engage in plowing, etc. as a regular occupation. An examination of the expenses and the depreciation schedules may be helpful in determining the true situation.

    2. If a taxpayer reports farm rental income and production income on a Schedule F, treat it as a Schedule F and base the NAICS code on the production income.

  3. Other Activities — Use the information below to accurately NAICS industry code schedules reporting rental or direct selling activity.

    1. If a taxpayer indicates that rents comprise a major portion of the gross receipts, the proprietorship schedule should not automatically be coded as real estate. Rent is a normal type of business receipts in many other industries. For example, rental of rooms, clothing, trailers, and construction equipment are services and should be coded appropriately.

    2. Industry code 454390, "Sales By Door-to-Door, Telephone, etc" , includes door-to-door selling and selling merchandise at parties in private homes. Proprietorship schedules based on these activities should be coded "910100" if the taxpayer has received a Form W–2 from the same company for the amount shown on the proprietorship schedule.
