Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

    Title: Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan.
    OMB Control Number: 1545-1610.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Description: The Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan is 
an annual information return filed by employee benefit plans. The IRS 
uses this information for a variety of matters, including ascertainment 
whether a qualified retirement plan appears to conform to requirements 
under the Internal Revenue Code or whether the plan should be audited 
for compliance. Form 5500-EZ (OMB Number: 1545- 0956) is an annual 
return filed by a one participant (owners/partners and their spouses) 
retirement plan or a foreign plan to satisfy certain annual reporting 
and filing requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (Code). 
The IRS uses this data to determine if the plan appears to be operating 
properly as required under the Code or whether the plan should be 
audited. The revisions to the collection are: not releasing Form 5500-
SUP; adding a checkbox to Form 5500, 5500-SF, and Form 5500-EZ for an 
initial plan retroactively adopted as permitted by SECURE Act section 
201; and adding checkboxes for an extension of time to Form 5500-EZ.
    Form: 5500 and Schedules.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organization, 
Individuals and Households, and Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 929,000.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 929,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 934,830 hours.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

    Dated: December 31, 2020.
