Shareholders.
    OMB Number: 1545-1613.
    Regulation Project Number: REG-209446-82.
    Abstract: Section 1366 requires shareholders of an S corporation to 
take into account their pro rata share of separately stated items of 
the S corporation and nonseparately computed income or loss. Section 
1.1366-1 of the regulation provides that an S corporation must report, 
and a shareholder is required to take into account in the shareholder's 
return, the shareholder's pro rata share, whether or not distributed, 
of the S corporation's items of income, loss, deduction, or credit.
    Current Actions: There is no change to this existing regulation.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, and 
individuals or households.
    This reporting requirement is reflected in the burden of Form 1040, 
U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and Form 1120S, U.S. Income Tax 
Return for an S Corporation.
    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of 
information covered by this notice:
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records 
relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as 
their contents may become material in the administration of any 
internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information 
are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.

Request for Comments

    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will 
become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 
the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates 
of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and
