Work Opportunity Credit.
    OMB Number: 1545-1593.
    Form Number: Form 1041-QFT.
    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 685 allows the trustee of 
certain trusts to make an election for the trust to be taxed as a 
qualified funeral trust (QFT). The trustee of a QFT files Form 1041-QFT 
to report the income, deductions, gains, losses, and tax liability of 
the QFT. The IRS uses the information on the form to determine that the 
trustee filed the proper return and paid the correct tax.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, 
Federal Government, individuals or households, and not-for-profit 
institutions.

    Abstract: Form 8835 is used to claim the renewable electricity 
production credit. The credit is allowed for the sale of electricity 
produced in the United States or U.S. territories from qualified energy 
resources at a qualified facility. The IRS uses the information 
reported on the form to ensure that the credit is correctly computed.
    Current Actions: There are changes to the existing collection. The 
form was revised to include information about the qualified facility, 
add lines for new credits, and remove lines for expired credits. The 
estimated number of responses was reduced to eliminate duplication of 
burden estimates. The estimated burden for individuals filing Form 8835

burden for businesses filing Form 8835 is approved under OMB control 
number 1545-0123.
