SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

PRA Approval of Forms Used by Individual Taxpayers

    Under the PRA, OMB assigns a control number to each ``collection of 
information'' that it reviews and approves for use by an agency. The 
PRA also requires agencies to estimate the burden for each collection 
of information. The burden estimates for each control number are 
displayed in (1) the PRA notices that accompany collections of 
information, (2) Federal Register notices such as this one, and (3) 
OMB's database of approved information collections.
    The Individual Taxpayer Burden Model (ITBM) estimates burden 
experienced by individual taxpayers when complying with the Federal tax 
laws. The ITBM's approach to measuring burden focuses on the 
characteristics and activities of individual taxpayers in meeting their 
tax return filing compliance obligation. Key determinants of taxpayer 
burden in the model are the way the taxpayer prepares the return, e.g., 
with software or paid preparer, and the taxpayer's activities, e.g., 
recordkeeping and tax planning.
    Burden is defined as the time and out-of-pocket costs incurred by 
taxpayers in complying with the Federal tax system. Time expended and 
out-of-pocket costs incurred are estimated separately. The methodology 
distinguishes among preparation methods, taxpayer activities, types of 
individual taxpayer, filing methods, and income levels. Indicators of 
tax law and administrative complexity as reflected in tax forms and 
instructions are incorporated in the model. The preparation methods 
reflected in the model are:
     Self-prepared without software.
     Self-prepared with software.
     Used a paid preparer.
    The types of taxpayer activities reflected in the model are:
     Recordkeeping.
     Form completion.
     Form submission (electronic and paper).
     Tax planning.
     Use of services (IRS and paid professional).
     Gathering tax materials.
    The methodology incorporates results from a burden survey of 14,932 
taxpayers conducted in 2000 and 2001, and estimates taxpayer burden 
based on those survey results. Summary level results using this 
methodology are presented in the table below.

Taxpayer Burden Estimates

    Time spent and out-of-pocket costs are estimated separately. Out-
of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers to prepare 
and submit their tax returns. Examples of out-of-pocket costs include 
tax return preparation and submission fees, postage, tax preparation 
software costs, photocopying costs, and phone calls (if not toll-free).
    Both time and cost burdens are national averages and do not 
necessarily reflect a ``typical'' case. For instance, the average time 
burden for all taxpayers filing a 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ is estimated 
at 26.4 hours, with an average cost of $209 per return. This average 
includes all associated forms and schedules, across all preparation 
methods and all taxpayer activities. Taxpayers filing Form 1040 have an 
expected average burden of about 33hours, and taxpayers filing Form 
1040A and Form 1040EZ are expected to average about 11 hours. However, 
within each of these estimates, there is significant variation in 
taxpayer activity. Similarly, tax preparation fees vary extensively 
depending on the taxpayer's tax situation and issues, the type of 
professional preparer, and the geographic area.
    The data shown are the best forward-looking estimates available as 
of November 4, 2008, for income tax returns filed for 2008. The 
estimates are subject to change as new data become available. The 
estimates include burden for activities up through and including filing 
a return but do not include burden associated with post-filing 
activities. However, operational IRS data indicate that electronically 
prepared and e-filed returns have fewer arithmetic errors, implying a 
lower associated post-filing burden.

Taxpayer Burden Model

    The table below shows burden estimates by form type and type of 
taxpayer. Time burden is further broken out by taxpayer activity. The 
largest component of time burden for all taxpayers is recordkeeping, as 
opposed to form completion and submission. In addition, the time burden 
associated with form completion and submission activities is closely 
tied to preparation method (self-prepared without software, self-
prepared with software, and prepared by paid preparer).

Proposed PRA Submission to OMB

    Title: U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
    OMB Number: 1545-0074.
    Form Numbers: Form 1040 and Schedules A, B, C, C-EZ, D, D-1, E, 
EIC, F, H, J, R, and SE; Form 1040A and Schedules 1, 2 and 3; Form 
1040EZ; and all attachments to these forms (see the Appendix to this 
notice).
    Abstract: These forms are used by individuals to report their 
income tax liability. The data is used to verify that the items 
reported on the forms are correct, and also for general statistics use.
    Current Actions: Changes are being made to some of the forms. The 
projected number of responses for FY 09 is lower than FY 08. This is 
because most of the one-time Economic Stimulus filing volume is no 
longer in the underlying return volume. The return volume in FY 09 
reflects the normal demographic growth to the expected filing 
population. These changes have resulted in an overall decrease of 
86,792,628 total hours in taxpayer burden previously approved by OMB.
    Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collections.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 140,600,000.
    Total Estimated Time: 3.703 billion hours (3,703,000,000 hours).
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 26.4 hours.
    Total Estimated Out-of-Pocket Costs: $29.33 billion 
($29,336,000,000).
    Estimated Out-of-Pocket Cost per Respondent: $209.00
    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 will 
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 
purchase of services to provide information.
