Note: I have attempted to match the actual form as closely as possible but it is very difficult to match the font sizes and the line spacing. You may have to adjust your window size to keep from seeing line breaks in odd places and you may have to use your imagination a bit.

NOTICE TO THIRD-PARTY
RECIPIENT As a third-party recipient of a summons, you may be entitled to receive payment for certain costs directly incurred which are reasonably necessary to search for, reproduce, or transport records in order to comply with a summons. This payment is made only at the rates established by the Internal Revenue Service to certain persons served with a summons to produce records or information in which the taxpayer does not have an ownership interest. The taxpayer to whose liability the summons relates and the taxpayer's officer, employee, agent, accountant, or attorney are not entitled to this payment. No payment will be made for any costs which you have charged or billed to other persons. The rate for search costs is $8.50 an hour or fraction of an hour and is limited to the total amount of personnel time spent in locating and retrieving documents or information requested by the summons. Specific salaries of such persons may not be included in search costs. In addition, search costs do not include salaries, fees, or similar costs for analysis of material or for managerial or legal advice, expertise, research, or time spent ofr any of these activities. If itemized separately, search costs may include the actual costs of extracting information stored by computer in the format in which it is normally produced, based on computer time and necessary supplies; however, personnel time for computer search may be paid for only at the Internal Revenue Service rate specified above. The rate for reproduction costs for making copies or duplicates of summoned documents, transcripts, and other similar material is 20 cents for each page. Photographs, films, and other material are reimbursed at cost. The rate for transportation costs is the same as the actual cost necessary to transport personnel to locate and |
retrieve summoned
records or information, or costs incurred solely by the need to transport
the summoned material to the place of examination.
In addition to payment for search, reproduction, and transportation costs, persons who appear before an Internal Revenue Service officer in response to a summo9ns may request payment for authorized witness fees and mileage fees. You may make this request by contacting the Internal Revenue Service officer or by claiming these costs separately on the itemized bill or invoice as explained below. Instructions For Requesting Payment After the summons is served, you should keep an accurate record of personnel search time, computer costs, number of reproductions made, and transportation costs. Upon satisfactory compliance, you may submit an itemized bill or invoice to the Internal Revenue Service officer before whom you were summoned to appear, either in person or by mail to the address furnished by the Internal Revenue Service officer. Please write on the itemized bill or invoice the name of the taxpayer to whose liability the summons relates. If you wish, Form 6863 (Invoice and Authorization for Payment of Administrative Summons Expenses) may be used to request payment for search, reproduction, and transportation costs. Standard Form 1157 (Claims for Witness Attendance Fees, Travel, and Miscellaneous Expenses) may be used to request payment for authorized witness fees and mileage fees. These forms are available from the Internal Revenue Service officer before whom you were summoned to appear. Anyone submitting false claims for payment is subject to possible criminal prosecution. |
