their filing obligations and report the correct amount of tax under 
Section 14103, the IRS developed FAQs to alert taxpayers how and where 
to report this income on their tax return. A critical part of this 
effort includes alerting taxpayers of their filing obligations and 
educating them on how and where this would be reported. The data will 
be utilized by the IRS to ensure that the correct amount of tax is 
paid.
