SOI has designed this special statistical study for the Commissioner, Chief Operations Officer, and the Office of Tax Analysis in the Department of Treasury.

The unit includes any sampled return that is not a TY 2000 form in the daily totals, but does not photocopy it. Work is forwarded to that area the submission processing center has assigned the task of data entry. He or she also maintains a count of valid sampled returns and a count of invalid sampled items, or residuals, for each of these categories. Thus, it considers prior year tax returns residuals for purposes of TPUS sampling.
