    Abstract: These forms are used by businesses to report their income 
tax liability.
    Current Actions: There have been changes in regulatory guidance 
related to various forms approved under this approval package during 
the past year. There have been additions and removals of forms included 
in this approval package. It is anticipated that these changes will 
have an impact on the overall burden and cost estimates requested for 
this approval package. This approval package is being submitted for 
renewal purposes.
    Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collections.
    Affected Public: Corporations, Partnerships and Pass-Through 
Entities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 13,300,000.
    Estimated Time (Hours): 920,000,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent (Hours): 35.
    Total Monetized Time: $54,743,000,000.
    Total Estimated Out-of-Pocket Costs: $66,717,000,000.
    Total Monetized Burden: $121,460,000,000.
    Note: Total Monetized Burden = Total Out-of-Pocket Costs + Total 
Annual Monetized Time.
    Note: Amounts below are estimates for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024. 
Reported time and cost burdens are national averages and do not 
necessarily reflect a ``typical case.'' Most taxpayers experience lower 
than average burden, with taxpayer burden varying considerably by 
taxpayer type. Detail may not add due to rounding.
