SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

PRA Approval of Forms Used by Individual Taxpayers

    Under the PRA, OMB assigns a control number to each ``collection of 
information'' that it reviews and approves for use by an agency. The 
PRA also requires agencies to estimate the burden for each collection 
of information. The burden estimates for each control number are 
displayed in (1) the PRA notices that accompany collections of 
information, (2) Federal Register notices such as this one, and (3) in 
OMB's database of approved information collections.
    The Individual Taxpayer Burden Model (ITBM) estimates the levels of 
burden experienced by individual taxpayers when complying with the 
Federal tax laws. This model reflects major changes over the past two 
decades in the way taxpayers prepare and file their returns; more than 
85 percent of all individual tax returns are prepared utilizing 
computer software, either by the taxpayer or a paid provider, and less 
than 15 are prepared manually. The ITBM's approach to measuring burden 
focuses on the characteristics and activities of individual taxpayers 
rather than the forms they use. Key determinants of taxpayer burden in 
the model are the way the taxpayer prepares the return, e.g. with 
software or paid preparer, and the taxpayer's activities, e.g. 
recordkeeping and tax planning.
    Burden is defined as the time and out-of-pocket costs incurred by 
taxpayers to comply with the Federal tax system. The time expended and 
the out-of-pocket costs are estimated separately. The methodology 
distinguishes among preparation methods, taxpayer activities, types of 
individual taxpayer, filing methods, and income levels. Indicators of 
complexity in tax laws as reflected in tax forms and instructions are 
incorporated in the model. The preparation methods are:
     Self-prepared without software
     Self-prepared with software
     Used a paid preparer
    The types of taxpayer activities measured in the model are:
     Recordkeeping
     Form completion
     Form submission (electronic and paper)
     Tax planning (this activity completed at individual 
taxpayer discretion)
     Use of services (IRS and paid professional)
     Gathering tax materials
    The methodology incorporates results from a burden survey of 14,932 
taxpayers conducted in 2000 and 2001, and estimates taxpayer burden 
based on those survey results. Summary level results using this 
methodology are presented in the table below.

Taxpayer Burden Estimates

    The table below shows burden estimates by form type. Time burden is 
further broken out by taxpayer activity. The largest component of time 
burden is record keeping at 60 percent for all taxpayers, as opposed to 
form completion and submission at only 16 percent. In addition, the 
time burden associated with form completion and submission activities 
are closely tied to preparation method. That is, these time burden 
estimates fluctuate according to preparation method.
    Both time and cost burdens are national averages, and do not 
necessarily reflect a ``typical'' case. The average time burden for all 
taxpayers filing a 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ was 23.8 hours, with an 
average cost of $204 per return. This average includes all associated 
forms and schedules, across all preparation methods and all taxpayer 
activities. Taxpayers filing Form 1040 had an average burden of about 
30 hours, and taxpayers filing Form 1040A and Form 1040EZ averaged 
about 11 hours, respectively. However, within each of these estimates, 
there is significant variation in taxpayer activity. Similarly, tax 
preparation fees vary extensively depending on the taxpayer's tax 
situation and issues, the type of professional preparer and geographic 
area.
    The data shown are the best estimates from tax returns filed for 
2005 currently available as of July 11, 2006. The estimates are subject 
to change as new forms and data become available. The estimates do not 
include burden associated with post-filing activities. However, 
operational IRS data indicate that electronically prepared and e-filed 
returns have fewer errors, implying a lower overall post-filing burden.
