SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: IRS Individual Taxpayer Burden Survey. OMB Number: 1545–2212. Form Number: CS–11–276. Abstract: Each year, individual taxpayers in the United States submit more than 140 million tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS uses the information in these returns, recorded on roughly one hundred distinct forms and supporting schedules, to administer a tax system whose rules span thousands of pages. Managing such a complex and broadbased tax system is costly but represents only a fraction of the total burden of the tax system. Equally, if not more burdensome, is the time and out-ofpocket expenses that citizens spend in order to comply with tax laws and regulations. The IRS has conducted prior surveys of individual taxpayers in 1984, 1999, 2000, 2007. Changes in tax regulations, tax administration, tax preparation methods, and taxpayer behavior continue to alter the amount and distribution of taxpayer burden. To update our understanding of this burden, the IRS contracted Westat to survey individual taxpayers regarding the time and money taxpayers spend in response to their Federal income tax obligations. We intend to conduct an updated survey to better reflect the current tax rules and regulations, the increased usage of tax preparation PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 software, increased efficiency of such software, changes in tax preparation regulations, the increased use of electronic filing, the behavioral response of taxpayers to the tax system, the changing use of services, both IRS and external, and related information collection needs. The purpose of the IRS entity surveys is to provide Congress and the President with accurate estimates of the costs incurred by corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, tax-exempt organizations, and government entities in complying with Federal rules and regulations. The critical items on the survey concern respondents’ time and cost burden estimates for complying with tax filing regulations. Additional items on the survey will serve as contextualizing variables for interpretation of the burden items. These items include information regarding tax preparation methods and activities, tax-related recordkeeping, gathering materials, learning about tax law, using IRS and/ or non-IRS taxpayer services, and tax form completion. Current Actions: New surveys are being added to this collection. Surveys Covered Under This Clearance Request. Individual Taxpayers: 2010 Individual Burden Survey, 2011 Individual Burden Survey, 2011 Post-Filing Burden Survey, 2012 Individual Burden Survey, and 2012 Post-Filing Burden Survey. Entity Taxpayers: 2010 Tax Exempt Entity Burden Survey and 2011 Business Taxpayers Burden Survey. This form is being submitted for renewal purposes only. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Individuals, Businesses and other for-profit organizations. Each respondent will receive either a letter with instructions to complete the survey (web-first) or a letter and survey (mail-first), which they may spend about one minute reading. Each potential respondent will participate only once. The potential response rate, which varies depending on the type of survey, is indicated in the burden estimate charts below. Estimated time to complete the surveys is based on results from prior cognitive interviews. We estimate that it will take approximately the same time to complete the mail, web and phone versions of the questionnaire. The content included in each instrument will be the same. The total annual burden estimates for the covered surveys is as follows: 2010 Surveys 5,033 hours 2011 Surveys 7,726 hours E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM 16SEN1
