D014 MAPPING-04 — FORMULA-02 Metadata and Provenance Amendment

Baseline: October 22, 2026 (America/Los_Angeles) Amendment date: October 22, 2026 Scope: Metadata, source provenance and original-claim mapping only. No new research, source retrieval or formula recalculation.

1. Corrected count sentence

Replace the FORMULA-02 opening sentence with:

Scope: Repair the eight original worked-example groups (E01–E08) supplied in the request, preserving their inputs, assumptions, amounts and original D014 claim IDs. The coordinator's 19 original arithmetic quantities remain preserved. This supplement does not replace or certify the parent research report.

Disposition: Eight example groups, 19 arithmetic quantities. The prior reference to nine groups was incorrect.

2. Source/status replacement rows

These rows replace only the corresponding FORMULA-02 source-table entries.

Original source ID Corrected provenance and access status Evidence limitations and required action
D014-S010 — 26 CFR §§ 1.108-7 and 1.1017-1 FORMULA-02 attributed partial regulatory verification to the earlier SOURCE-02 response. That response is now unavailable as rendered evidence and was not imported or coordinator-reviewed. The earlier researcher-reported findings remain historical context, not independently usable coordinator-verified evidence. Neither regulation was newly opened in FORMULA-02. Retain the complete § 1.108-7 verification hold and the unresolved portions of § 1.1017-1, including attribute ordering, basis reductions, elections, applicable tax years and regulatory effective dates. Distinct SOURCE-02 evidence recovery remains held; do not regenerate the completed response.
D014-S022 — IRS failure-to-pay, failure-to-file and failure-to-deposit guidance FORMULA-02 referred to SOURCE-02 penalty findings as reused context. SOURCE-02's rendered evidence is unavailable and not coordinator-reviewed. FORMULA-02 separately reported a newly opened IRS failure-to-pay page, D014-FF-S004; that is the only independently visible FORMULA-02 opening relevant to S022. Do not treat the earlier bundled penalty research as imported evidence. Retain statutory § 6651/§ 6656, return/tax/year applicability, penalty concurrency, approved-plan conditions, deposit schedules, relief and calculation holds.

Provenance distinction: The issue is unavailable rendered evidence and missing coordinator review—not proof that SOURCE-02 research never occurred. Its completed request must not be duplicated or regenerated.

3. Original claim/example mapping

Original example Retained claim ID(s) Repaired calculation subject Disposition
E01 D014-C035, D014-C037 $50,000 COD; $30,000 insolvency exclusion; $20,000 potentially taxable Arithmetic repaired; exclusion and attribute rules held
E02 D014-C035 $105,000 assets; no insolvency Arithmetic repaired; asset classification held
E03 D014-C037 $12,000 NOL reduction; $2,666.67 illustrative credit reduction Arithmetic repaired; ordering and rounding held
E04 D014-C043 $20,000 recourse disposition gain; $50,000 potential COD Arithmetic repaired; legal classification held
E05 D014-C044 $70,000 nonrecourse disposition gain Arithmetic repaired; debt classification held
E06 D014-C040 Original 60%/40% allocation; A $14,000 potentially taxable, B $16,000 excluded Arithmetic repaired; allocation authority held
E07 D014-C010 Standard Form 656: $3,205 initial cash Arithmetic repaired; eligibility and acceptance not established
E08 D014-C014, D014-C017 $300 ordinary versus $150 qualifying reduced failure-to-pay penalty Arithmetic repaired; statutory applicability held

The coordinator's previously supplied 19 passing arithmetic checks remain attributed to that coordinator audit. They are not 19 independently verified legal conclusions.

4. Coverage and residual holds

Issue Status after MAPPING-04 Remaining action
Example-group count Corrected Use eight, not nine
Original arithmetic quantities Preserved Retain all 19 coordinator checks and FORMULA-02 formulas
Claim-to-example IDs Mapped Preserve original identifiers without renumbering

D014-S010 regulatory support Partial / evidence unavailable for coordinator review Recover usable primary passages through a separately authorized evidence task; do not regenerate SOURCE-02
D014-S022 penalty bundle Partial / evidence unavailable for coordinator review Verify complete controlling-law chain separately; retain FORMULA-02's reported direct failure-to-pay opening
Failed § 108 statutory retrieval Unresolved Do not upgrade the failed attempt to a successful statutory opening
SOURCE-02 recovery Held Completed response remains unavailable; no duplication or reconstruction requested
Local-03 source identities Separate queued work Preserve four local-source identities for their own task; do not merge with SOURCE-02
COD and foreclosure classifications Partial Verify governing law, actual debt classification, asset/liability facts and tax-year applicability
OIC and penalty eligibility Partial Verify actual Form 656 pathway, exemptions, statutory conditions and account-specific inputs
All 50 original claims Not accepted Require separate claim-by-claim evidence review
A019 and A067 parent areas Not accepted Preserve existing area-level publication holds

Researcher self-check

This amendment corrects the example count and the evidentiary status of two source records. It does not alter the eight repaired examples, their 19 arithmetic quantities, original claim identifiers or historical research output.

No new primary sources were opened. No claim is made that SOURCE-02's unavailable rendered tables were imported, reviewed or independently verified. The previously reported research is distinguished from usable reviewed evidence.

No local files were saved, no independent review was conducted, and no publication, external contacts, private-data access or account changes occurred.

Sources, pinpoints and access limits

Keep the source version, actual read extent and jurisdiction with the proposition. A link or researcher access claim is not a substitute for an operative primary passage.

D014-S010 Saved research record

Retain the complete § 1.108-7 verification hold and the unresolved portions of § 1.1017-1, including attribute ordering, basis reductions, elections, applicable tax years and regulatory effective dates. Distinct SOURCE-02 evidence recovery remains held; do not regenerate the completed response.

Recorded check status: provenance repair checked unavailable regulatory or penalty support held

Original source ID
D014-S010 — 26 CFR §§ 1.108-7 and 1.1017-1
Corrected provenance and access status
FORMULA-02 attributed partial regulatory verification to the earlier SOURCE-02 response. That response is now unavailable as rendered evidence and was not imported or coordinator-reviewed. The earlier researcher-reported findings remain historical context, not independently usable coordinator-verified evidence. Neither regulation was newly opened in FORMULA-02.
D014-S022 Saved research record

Do not treat the earlier bundled penalty research as imported evidence. Retain statutory § 6651/§ 6656, return/tax/year applicability, penalty concurrency, approved-plan conditions, deposit schedules, relief and calculation holds.

Recorded check status: provenance repair checked unavailable regulatory or penalty support held

Original source ID
D014-S022 — IRS failure-to-pay, failure-to-file and failure-to-deposit guidance
Corrected provenance and access status
FORMULA-02 referred to SOURCE-02 penalty findings as reused context. SOURCE-02's rendered evidence is unavailable and not coordinator-reviewed. FORMULA-02 separately reported a newly opened IRS failure-to-pay page, D014-FF-S004; that is the only independently visible FORMULA-02 opening relevant to S022.
