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. Burden estimates for each control number are displayed 
in (1) PRA notices that accompany collections of information, (2) 
Federal Register notices such as this one, and (3) OMB's database of 
approved information collections.

Taxpayer Burden Model

    The Individual Taxpayer Burden Model (ITBM) estimates burden 
experienced by individual taxpayers when complying with Federal tax 
laws and incorporates results from a survey of tax year 2007 individual 
taxpayers, conducted in 2008 and 2009. The approach to measuring burden 
focuses on the characteristics and activities undertaken by individual 
taxpayers in meeting their tax return filing obligations.
    Burden is defined as the time and out-of-pocket costs incurred by 
taxpayers in complying with the Federal tax system and are estimated 
separately. Out-of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by 
taxpayers to prepare and submit their tax returns. Examples include tax 
return preparation fees, the purchase price of tax preparation 
software, submission fees, photocopying costs, postage, and phone calls 
(if not toll-free).
    The methodology distinguishes among preparation method, taxpayer 
activities, taxpayer type, filing method, and income level. Indicators 
of tax law and administrative complexity, as reflected in the tax forms 
and instructions, are incorporated into the model.
    Preparation methods reflected in the model are as follows:
     Self-prepared without software,
     Self-prepared with software, and
     Use of a paid preparer or tax professional.
    Types of taxpayer activities reflected in the model are as follows:
     Recordkeeping,
     Tax planning,
     Gathering tax materials,
     Use of services (IRS and other),
     Form completion, and
     Form submission (electronic and paper).

Taxpayer Burden Estimates

    Summary level results using this methodology are presented in Table 
1 below. The data shown are the best forward-looking estimates 
available for income tax returns filed for tax year 2011. Note that the 
estimates presented in this table differ from those published in the 
tax form instructions and publications. Revised estimates presented 
herein reflect legislation approved after the IRS Forms and 
Publications print deadline.
    Table 1 shows burden estimates based upon current statutory 
requirements as of October 21, 2011 for taxpayers filing a 2011 Form 
1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ tax return. Time spent and out-of-pocket costs 
are presented separately. Time burden is broken out by taxpayer 
activity, with recordkeeping representing the largest component. Out-
of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers to prepare 
and submit their tax returns. Examples include tax return preparation 
and submission fees, postage and photocopying costs, and tax 
preparation software costs. While these estimates do not include burden 
associated with post-filing activities, IRS operational data indicate 
that electronically prepared and filed returns have fewer arithmetic 
errors, implying lower post-filing burden.
    Reported time and cost burdens are national averages and do not 
necessarily reflect a ``typical'' case. Most taxpayers experience lower 
than average burden, with taxpayer burden varying considerably by 
taxpayer type. For instance, the estimated average time burden for all 
taxpayers filing a Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ is 18 hours, with an 
average cost of $230 per return. This average includes all associated 
forms and schedules, across all preparation methods and taxpayer 
activities. The average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040 is about 
22 hours and $290; the average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040A 
is about 10 hours and $120; and the average for Form 1040EZ filers is 
about 7 hours and $50.
    Within each of these estimates there is significant variation in 
taxpayer activity. For example, non-business taxpayers are expected to 
have an average burden of about 12 hours and $150, while business 
taxpayers are expected to have an average burden of about 32 hours and 
$410. Similarly, tax preparation fees and other out-of-pocket costs 
vary extensively depending on the tax situation of the taxpayer, the 
type of software or professional preparer used, and the geographic 
location.
    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.

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; Form 1040EZ; Form 1040NR; Form 
1040NR-EZ, Form 1040X; 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 statistical 
use.
    Current Actions: The change in estimated aggregate compliance 
burden can be explained by three major sources--technical adjustments, 
statutory changes, and discretionary agency (IRS) actions.
    Technical Adjustments--The largest adjustments are from 
incorporation of new taxpayer data, updated forecasting targets, and 
refinements to the estimation methodology. The incorporation of new 
taxpayer data to better reflect the impact of the current economic 
environment provides the largest adjustment.
    Statutory Changes--The primary drivers for the statutory changes 
are credits provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 
(ARRA)

[[Page 24563]]

of 2009 and implementation of new reporting requirements in the 
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The provisions listed 
below are more than offset by the impact of the expiring ARRA 
provision.
    Primary examples include:
New or Changed Provisions
    Capital Gains and Losses: In most cases, transactions for capital 
gains and losses must now be entered on the new Form 8949 and the 
subtotal of the sales price, basis, and adjustment amounts from Form 
8949 are carried to the Schedule D. Up to six separate Forms 8949 could 
be required depending on the holding period of the assets, whether or 
not basis related to the transaction was reported by the broker, and 
whether a reporting document was received for the transaction. These 
changes were made to coincide with the new Form 1099-B basis reporting.
    The number of filers affected: 21,000,000.
    Alternative Minimum Tax: The AMT exemption amount was increased to 
$48,450 ($74,450 if married filing jointly or a qualified widow; 
$37,225 if married filing separately).
    Had this legislation not been enacted, at least 20 million 
additional taxpayers would have been required to file Form 6251, 
Alternative Minimum Tax.
Expired Provisions
    The Making Work Pay Credit expired.
    The number of filers who claimed this provision in 2010: 
100,000,000.
    IRS Discretionary Changes--IRS discretionary changes include 
expanded e-file availability, registration fees for paid preparers, and 
fees for a new competency exam for certain preparers.
    Discretionary changes also include a change for the repayment of 
the first-time homebuyer credit. Repayment may now be made without 
attaching Form 5405.
    The number of filers affected: 550,000.
    These initiatives have a net effect of a slight decrease in time 
that is not shown due to rounding as well as a net effect of increasing 
money burden.
    Total--Taken together, the changes discussed above have decreased 
the total reported burden by 22,000,000 hours.
    Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collections.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 153,200,000.
    Total Estimated Time: 2.679 billion hours (2,679,000,000 hours).
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 17.49 hours.
    Total Estimated Out-of-Pocket Costs: $34.131 billion 
($34,131,000,000).
    Estimated Out-of-Pocket Cost per Respondent: $230.
    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.
