Taxpayers Claiming Relief Under the Military Spouses Residency Relief 
Act for Taxable Year 2009 and Subsequent Years.
    OMB Control Number: 1545-2169.
    Type of Review: On April 15, 2010, the Department of the Treasury 
(Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published 
Notice 2010-30, 2010-18 I.R.B. 650, which provides relief and 
procedures for certain taxpayers who are spouses (civilian spouses) of 
active duty members of the uniformed services (service members). The 
relief and procedures were made available to civilian spouses who (A) 
accompany their service member spouses to a military duty station in 
American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI), Puerto Rico, 
or the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) (each a ``U.S. territory'') and claim 
residence or domicile (tax residence) in one of the 50 States or the 
District of Columbia under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act 
(MSRRA) or (B) accompany their service member spouses to a military 
duty station in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia and 
claim tax residence in a U.S. territory under MSRRA. The relief and 
procedures set forth in Notice 2010-30 were initially available for the 
taxable year 2009. On June 07, 2012, the Treasury Department and the 
IRS published Notice 2012-41, which extended the relief and procedures 
announced in Notice 2010-30 to the subsequent taxable years. This 
notice further extends the relief set forth in Notice 2010-30 for 
civilian spouses described in the prior paragraph to taxable years 
beginning after November 11, 2010 and subsequent calendar years, and 
provides that such civilian spouses should follow the applicable 
procedures described in Notice 2010-30.

    Title: Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act Employee 
Affidavit.
    OMB Control Number: 1545-2173.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: This form was created in response to the Hiring 
Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, which was signed on March 
18, 2010. The form was developed as a template for the convenience of 
employers who must collect affidavits from qualifying employees. The 
form is not filed; rather an employer must retain the affidavit in 
order to justify claiming certain HIRE Act benefits. A model form is 
needed as soon as possible so that employers can begin confidently 
claiming payroll exemptions.
    Form: W-11.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 227,000.

    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
