The full Document 6209 entry, as printed
I/B E Name Change BMF: 63, 80 Others: 63 Changes a name of an Account on the MF. May include other Entity changes shown in TC 012, 014, 015, and 016, (TC 016 not EPMF). IMF/IRAF Replaces or establishes name line for tax year indicated by new name line. Deletes second name line if none is input. BMF Replaces all name lines. IMF: TC 013 with DLN block/serial overlay of 99999 is computer-generated from TC 150 with CCC’9’ which causes establishment of new name line for primary taxpayer only. TC 013 with a Reference MFT Code of 55 present will only update the Civil Penalty name line. Normal name line processing will be by-passed. 013 E Plan Name Change 64 Replaces the plan name for a plan of an EPMF entity.
