SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Prepaid Card Marketing
Customer Survey, CS–10–251.
OMB Number: 1545–2204.
Abstract In Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, the
IRS initiated a formal effort to
collaborate with financial institutions
(banks) and Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) sites to encourage
taxpayers who do not request directdeposited refunds to opt for a prepaid
card sponsored by the financial
institutions. These taxpayers are likely
to be unbanked and without means of
freely cashing their refund check. The
perceived benefits of the prepaid card
program are (1) faster transfer of refunds
to the taxpayer compared to the paper
check mode, and (2) low-cost
transactions to use the refund amount.
To help improve participation, IRS is
hoping to leverage the theory and
principles of social marketing. Social
marketing principles and practices
apply marketing principles to social
programs. This data will provide the IRS
with practical information to be used to
determine the value of offering the
prepaid card to taxpayers in the future.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individual and
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5734.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 542 hours.
The following paragraph applies to all
of the collections of information covered
by this notice:
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 OMB control number.
Books or 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.

submitted in response to this notice will

request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record. Comments are invited on:
