IAT and TINS IAT Indicator Tutorial
Add/Delete the IAT IND
Add the IAT IND
If the payee selects box (a) on the ACH (Direct Deposit) Payment Destination Confirmation form (74-227), the IAT Indicator needs to be added in TINS. The IAT IND field is updated on the payee master record and is displayed on multiple TINS inquiry screens.
Research is required to check if the payee is already set up in TINS with an active status or if the payee needs to be set up. Use the 11-digit TIN from form 74-227 to check the Payee Mail Code Information (PYADDR) inquiry screen. If you have not performed TINS research using the inquiry screens, refer to the following for instructions:
- Online Entry Screens section on TexPayment Resource.
- TINS Inquiry Web-Based Training on the FMX Training Center.
If the payee is already set up in TINS, PYADDR displays the payee’s mail code information. The status must be ACTIVE. If the IAT IND field is blank, use the Payee Master Level Changes (PCHGMS) screen to set the IAT IND field to Y (Yes). PCHGMS includes two screens—a recall and an entry screen.

- TINS Online Entry Web-Based Training on the FMX Training Center, which includes the TINS Inquiry Web-Based Training as a prerequisite.
Deleting the IAT IND
Once the IAT indicator (Y) has been added, it remains on the payee master record and is displayed on multiple inquiry screens until it is deleted. If the payee submits a new form 74-227 with box (b) or box (c) checked, use the same PCHGMS entry screen used to add the indicator to delete the Y so that the IAT IND field displays a BLANK. The payee is now eligible to be set up for direct deposit.
