SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Sale of Residence from Qualified Personal Residence Trust.
    OMB Number: 1545-1485.
    Form Project Number: TD 8743.
    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 2702(a)(3) provides special 
favorable valuation rules for valuing the gift of a personal residence 
trust. Regulation section 25.2702-5(a)(2) provides that if the trust 
fails to comply with the requirements contained in the regulations, the 
trust will be treated as complying if a statement is attached to the 
gift tax return reporting the gift stating that a proceeding has been 
commenced to reform the instrument to comply with the requirements of 
the regulations.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 300.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 2 Hrs., 5 Min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 625.
    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: October 4, 2023.
