    Project Number: Form 1098-C.
    Abstract: Section 884 of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 
(Pub. L. 108-357) added paragraph 12 to section 170(f) for 
contributions of used motor vehicles, boats, and airplanes. Section 
170(f)(12) requires that a donee organization provide an 
acknowledgement to the donor of this type of property and is required 
to file the same information to the Internal Revenue Service.
    Form 1098-C is used to report charitable contributions of motor 
vehicles, boats, and airplanes after December 31, 2004.
    Current Actions: There are no changes being made to this form at 
this time. However, changes to the estimated number of responses will 
increase the burden by 1,302 hours. This request is being submitted for 
renewal purposes.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits, Individuals or 
households, Farms, or Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 110,400.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 18 min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 34,224.
    The following paragraph applies to all 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 if 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.
    Desired Focus of Comments: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is 
particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility.
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., by permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the ICR for OMB approval of the extension of the 
information collection; they will also become a matter of public 
record.

    Approved: March 21, 2022.
