SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Buildings qualifying for carryover allocations.
    OMB Number: 1545-0990.
    Form Number(s): 8610, Sch A (F8610).
    Abstract: State housing credit agencies (Agencies) are required by 
Code section 42(l)(3) to report annually the amount of low-income 
housing credits that they allocated to qualified buildings during the 
year. Agencies report the amount allocated to the building owners and 
to the IRS in Part I of Form 8609. Carryover allocations are reported 
to the Agencies in carryover allocation documents. The Agencies report 
the carryover allocations to the IRS on Schedule A (Form 8610). Form 
8610 is a transmittal and reconciliation document for Forms 8609, 
Schedule A (Form 8610), binding agreements, and election statements.
    Current Actions: There is no change to the burden previously 
approved by OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: State, local or tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,353.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 4 Hour 58 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,738.
    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: January 4, 2023.
