SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paperwork Reduction Act The collection of information contained in these regulations has been reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) under control number 1545–1868. The collection of information in these final regulations is in § 1.170A–11(b)(2). The information required in § 1.170A–11(b)(2) concerning the date on which a corporation’s board of directors authorizes a certain type of charitable contribution assists the IRS in determining the deductibility of such contributions. Responses to this collection of information are mandatory. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget. The estimated annual burden per respondent is .25 hours. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions for reducing this burden should be sent to the Internal Revenue Service, Attn: IRS Reports, Clearance Officer, SE:W:CAR:MP:T:T:SP, Washington, DC 20224, and to the Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the Department of the Treasury, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC 20503. Books and records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103. Background This document contains amendments to 26 CFR part 1 and 26 CFR part 301 designed to eliminate regulatory impediments to the electronic submission of tax returns and other forms filed by corporations, partnerships, other business entities, and their owners. In 1998, Congress enacted the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 1998), Pub. L. No. 105–206 (112 Stat. 685) (1998). RRA 1998 states a Congressional policy to promote the paperless filing of Federal tax returns. Section 2001(a) of RRA 1998 set a goal for the IRS to have at least 80 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 percent of all Federal tax and information returns filed electronically by 2007. Section 2001(b) of RRA 1998 requires the IRS to establish a 10-year strategic plan to eliminate barriers to electronic filing. Finalization of December 2003 Regulations Facilitating Electronic Filing On December 19, 2003, the IRS and Treasury published in the Federal Register (TD 9100, 2004–1 C.B. 297 [68 FR 70701]) temporary and final regulations modifying the regulations under sections 170, 556, 565, 936, 1017, 1368, 1377, 1502, 1503, 6038B and 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the same issue of the Federal Register, the IRS and Treasury published a notice of proposed rulemaking (REG–116664–01, 2004–1 C.B. 319 [68 FR 70747]) proposing to amend regulations under the code sections noted in the previous sentence. The temporary, final, and proposed regulations published on December 19, 2003, are collectively referred to as the December 2003 Regulations. The December 2003 Regulations generally affect taxpayers who must file any of the following forms: Form 926, ‘‘Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation’’; Form 972, ‘‘Consent of Shareholder To Include Specific Amount in Gross Income’’; Form 973, ‘‘Corporation Claim for Deduction for Consent Dividends’’; Form 982, ‘‘Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness (and Section 1082 Basis Adjustment)’’; Form 1120, ‘‘U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return’’; Form 1120S, ‘‘U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation’’; Form 1122, ‘‘Authorization and Consent of Subsidiary Corporation To Be Included in a Consolidated Income Tax Return’’; Form 5471, ‘‘Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect To Certain Foreign Corporations’’; Form 5712–A, ‘‘Election and Verification of the Cost Sharing or Profit Split Method Under Section 936(h)(5)’’; and Form 8832, ‘‘Entity Classification Election.’’ Prior to the changes adopted by the December 2003 Regulations, certain regulations under the code sections cited above impeded electronic filing of returns. Some of these regulations, for example, impeded electronic filing by requiring taxpayers to include thirdparty signatures on their tax returns or by requiring taxpayers to attach documents or statements generated by a third party. Other regulations required a taxpayer to sign an IRS form and file it as an attachment to the taxpayer’s income tax return.
