information collection requirements. Comments submitted in response to 
this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB 
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments 
are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary

Tax Compliance Burden

    Tax compliance burden is defined as the time and money taxpayers 
spend to comply with their tax filing responsibilities. Time-related 
activities include recordkeeping, tax planning, gathering tax 
materials, learning about the law, and completing and submitting the 
return. Out-of-pocket costs include expenses such as purchasing tax 
software, paying a third-party preparer, and printing and postage. Tax 
compliance burden does not include a taxpayer's tax liability, economic 
inefficiencies caused by sub-optimal choices related to tax deductions 
or credits, or psychological costs.
