Internal Revenue Service jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Background On July 25, 2008, the President issued Executive Order 13469 with respect to Zimbabwe pursuant to, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–06). In the Order, the President took additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13288 of March 6, 2003, and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13391 of November 22, 2005, in order to address the continued political repression and the undermining of democratic processes and institutions in Zimbabwe. Section 1 of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all property, and interests in property, that are in, or hereafter come within, the United States or the possession or control of United States persons for persons determined by the Director of OFAC, after consultation with the Secretary of State, to satisfy any of the criteria set forth in subparagraphs (a)(i) through (a)(viii) of Section 1.

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. Burden estimates for each control number are displayed in (1) PRA notices that accompany collections of information, (2) Federal Register notices such as this one, and (3) OMB’s database of approved information collections. Taxpayer Burden Model The Individual Taxpayer Burden Model (ITBM) estimates burden experienced by individual taxpayers when complying with Federal tax laws and incorporates results from a survey of tax year 2007 individual taxpayers, conducted in 2008 and 2009. The approach to measuring burden focuses on the characteristics and activities undertaken by individual taxpayers in meeting their tax return filing obligations. Burden is defined as the time and outof-pocket costs incurred by taxpayers in complying with the Federal tax system and are estimated separately. Out-ofpocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers to prepare and submit their tax returns. Examples include tax return preparation fees, the purchase price of tax preparation software, submission fees, photocopying costs, postage, and phone calls (if not toll-free). The methodology distinguishes among preparation method, taxpayer activities, taxpayer type, filing method, and income level. Indicators of tax law and administrative complexity, as reflected in the tax forms and instructions, are incorporated into the model. Preparation methods reflected in the model are as follows: • Self-prepared without software, • Self-prepared with software, and • Use of a paid preparer or tax professional. Types of taxpayer activities reflected in the model are as follows: • Recordkeeping, • Tax planning, • Gathering tax materials, • Use of services (IRS and other), • Form completion, and • Form submission (electronic and paper). E:\FR\FM\16DEN1.SGM 16DEN1 jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2011 / Notices Taxpayer Burden Estimates Summary level results using this methodology are presented in Table 1 below. The data shown are the best forward-looking estimates available for income tax returns filed for tax year 2011. Note that the estimates presented in this table differ from those published in the tax form instructions and publications. Revised estimates presented herein reflect legislation approved after the IRS Forms and Publications print deadline. Table 1 shows burden estimates based upon current statutory requirements as of October 21, 2011 for taxpayers filing a 2011 Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ tax return. Time spent and out-of-pocket costs are presented separately. Time burden is broken out by taxpayer activity, with record keeping representing the largest component. Out-of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers to prepare and submit their tax returns. Examples include tax return preparation and submission fees, postage and photocopying costs, and tax preparation software costs. While these estimates do not include burden associated with post-filing activities, IRS operational data indicate that electronically prepared and filed returns have fewer arithmetic errors, implying lower postfiling burden. Reported time and cost burdens are national averages and do not necessarily reflect a ‘‘typical’’ case. Most taxpayers experience lower than average burden, with taxpayer burden varying considerably by taxpayer type. For instance, the estimated average time burden for all taxpayers filing a Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ is 18 hours, with an average cost of $230 per return. This average includes all associated forms and schedules, across all preparation methods and taxpayer activities. The average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040 is about 22 hours and $290; the average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040A is about 10 hours and $120; and the average for Form 1040EZ filers is about 7 hours and $50. Within each of these estimates there is significant variation in taxpayer activity. For example, non-business taxpayers are expected to have an average burden of about 12 hours and $150, while business taxpayers are expected to have an average burden of about 32 hours and $410. Similarly, tax preparation fees and other out-of-pocket costs vary extensively depending on the tax situation of the taxpayer, the type of software or professional preparer used, and the geographic location. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Dec 15, 2011 Jkt 226001 The estimates include burden for activities up through and including filing a return but do not include burden associated with post-filing activities. However, operational IRS data indicate that electronically prepared and e-filed returns have fewer arithmetic errors, implying a lower associated post-filing burden. Proposed PRA Submission to OMB Title: U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. OMB Number: 1545–0074. Form Numbers: Form 1040 and Schedules A, B, C, C–EZ, D, D–1, E, EIC, F, H, J, R, and SE; Form 1040A; Form 1040EZ; Form 1040NR; Form 1040NR– EZ, Form 1040X; and all attachments to these forms (see the Appendix to this notice). Abstract: These forms are used by individuals to report their income tax liability. The data is used to verify that the items reported on the forms are correct, and also for general statistical use. Current Actions: The change in estimated aggregate compliance burden can be explained by three major sources—technical adjustments, statutory changes, and discretionary agency (IRS) actions. Technical Adjustments—The largest adjustments are from incorporation of new taxpayer data, updated forecasting targets, and refinements to the estimation methodology. The incorporation of new taxpayer data to better reflect the impact of the current economic environment provides the largest adjustment. Statutory Changes—The primary drivers for the statutory changes are credits provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and implementation of new reporting requirements in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The provisions listed below are more than offset by the impact of the expiring ARRA provision. Primary examples include: New or Changed Provisions Capital Gains and Losses: In most cases, transactions for capital gains and losses must now be entered on the new Form 8949 and the subtotal of the sales price, basis, and adjustment amounts from Form 8949 are carried to the Schedule D. Up to six separate Forms 8949 could be required depending on the holding period of the assets, whether or not basis related to the transaction was reported by the broker, and whether a reporting document was received for the transaction. These PO 00000 Frm 00113 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 78337 changes were made to coincide with the new Form 1099–B basis reporting. The number of filers affected: 21,000,000. Alternative Minimum Tax: The AMT exemption amount was increased to $48,450 ($74,450 if married filing jointly or a qualified widow; $37,225 if married filing separately). Had this legislation not been enacted, at least 20 million additional taxpayers would have been required to file Form 6251, Alternative Minimum Tax. Expired Provisions The Making Work Pay Credit expired. The number of filers who claimed this provision in 2010: 100,000,000. IRS Discretionary Changes—IRS discretionary changes include expanded e-file availability, registration fees for paid preparers, and fees for a new competency exam for certain preparers. Discretionary changes also include a change for the repayment of the firsttime homebuyer credit. Repayment may now be made without attaching Form 5405. The number of filers affected: 550,000. These initiatives have a net effect of a slight decrease in time that is not shown due to rounding as well as a net effect of increasing money burden. Total—Taken together, the changes discussed above have decreased the total reported burden by 22,000,000 hours. Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collections. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 153,200,000. Total Estimated Time: 2.679 billion hours (2,679,000,000 hours). Estimated Time Per Respondent: 17.49 hours. Total Estimated Out-of-Pocket Costs: $34.131 billion ($34,131,000,000). Estimated Out-of-Pocket Cost per Respondent: $230. 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. Request for Comments Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or E:\FR\FM\16DEN1.SGM 16DEN1 78338 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2011 / Notices included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.

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. Burden estimates for each control number are displayed
in (1) PRA notices that accompany collections of information, (2)
Federal Register notices such as this one, and (3) OMB's database of
approved information collections.

Taxpayer Burden Model

The Individual Taxpayer Burden Model (ITBM) estimates burden
experienced by individual taxpayers when complying with Federal tax
laws and incorporates results from a survey of tax year 2007 individual
taxpayers, conducted in 2008 and 2009. The approach to measuring burden
focuses on the characteristics and activities undertaken by individual
taxpayers in meeting their tax return filing obligations.
Burden is defined as the time and out-of-pocket costs incurred by
taxpayers in complying with the Federal tax system and are estimated
separately. Out-of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by
taxpayers to prepare and submit their tax returns. Examples include tax
return preparation fees, the purchase price of tax preparation
software, submission fees, photocopying costs, postage, and phone calls
(if not toll-free).
The methodology distinguishes among preparation method, taxpayer
activities, taxpayer type, filing method, and income level. Indicators
of tax law and administrative complexity, as reflected in the tax forms
and instructions, are incorporated into the model.
Preparation methods reflected in the model are as follows:
Self-prepared without software,
Self-prepared with software, and
Use of a paid preparer or tax professional.
Types of taxpayer activities reflected in the model are as follows:
Recordkeeping,
Tax planning,
Gathering tax materials,
Use of services (IRS and other),
Form completion, and
Form submission (electronic and paper).

[[Page 78337]]

Taxpayer Burden Estimates

Summary level results using this methodology are presented in Table
1 below. The data shown are the best forward-looking estimates
available for income tax returns filed for tax year 2011. Note that the
estimates presented in this table differ from those published in the
tax form instructions and publications. Revised estimates presented
herein reflect legislation approved after the IRS Forms and
Publications print deadline.
Table 1 shows burden estimates based upon current statutory
requirements as of October 21, 2011 for taxpayers filing a 2011 Form
1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ tax return. Time spent and out-of-pocket costs
are presented separately. Time burden is broken out by taxpayer
activity, with record keeping representing the largest component. Out-
of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers to prepare
and submit their tax returns. Examples include tax return preparation
and submission fees, postage and photocopying costs, and tax
preparation software costs. While these estimates do not include burden
associated with post-filing activities, IRS operational data indicate
that electronically prepared and filed returns have fewer arithmetic
errors, implying lower post-filing burden.
Reported time and cost burdens are national averages and do not
necessarily reflect a ``typical'' case. Most taxpayers experience lower
than average burden, with taxpayer burden varying considerably by
taxpayer type. For instance, the estimated average time burden for all
taxpayers filing a Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ is 18 hours, with an
average cost of $230 per return. This average includes all associated
forms and schedules, across all preparation methods and taxpayer
activities. The average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040 is about
22 hours and $290; the average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040A
is about 10 hours and $120; and the average for Form 1040EZ filers is
about 7 hours and $50.
Within each of these estimates there is significant variation in
taxpayer activity. For example, non-business taxpayers are expected to
have an average burden of about 12 hours and $150, while business
taxpayers are expected to have an average burden of about 32 hours and
$410. Similarly, tax preparation fees and other out-of-pocket costs
vary extensively depending on the tax situation of the taxpayer, the
type of software or professional preparer used, and the geographic
location.
The estimates include burden for activities up through and
including filing a return but do not include burden associated with
post-filing activities. However, operational IRS data indicate that
electronically prepared and e-filed returns have fewer arithmetic
errors, implying a lower associated post-filing burden.

Proposed PRA Submission to OMB

Title: U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
OMB Number: 1545-0074.
Form Numbers: Form 1040 and Schedules A, B, C, C-EZ, D, D-1, E,
EIC, F, H, J, R, and SE; Form 1040A; Form 1040EZ; Form 1040NR; Form
1040NR-EZ, Form 1040X; and all attachments to these forms (see the
Appendix to this notice).
Abstract: These forms are used by individuals to report their
income tax liability. The data is used to verify that the items
reported on the forms are correct, and also for general statistical
use.
Current Actions: The change in estimated aggregate compliance
burden can be explained by three major sources--technical adjustments,
statutory changes, and discretionary agency (IRS) actions.
Technical Adjustments--The largest adjustments are from
incorporation of new taxpayer data, updated forecasting targets, and
refinements to the estimation methodology. The incorporation of new
taxpayer data to better reflect the impact of the current economic
environment provides the largest adjustment.
Statutory Changes--The primary drivers for the statutory changes
are credits provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) of 2009 and implementation of new reporting requirements in the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The provisions listed
below are more than offset by the impact of the expiring ARRA
provision.
Primary examples include:

New or Changed Provisions

Capital Gains and Losses: In most cases, transactions for capital
gains and losses must now be entered on the new Form 8949 and the
subtotal of the sales price, basis, and adjustment amounts from Form
8949 are carried to the Schedule D. Up to six separate Forms 8949 could
be required depending on the holding period of the assets, whether or
not basis related to the transaction was reported by the broker, and
whether a reporting document was received for the transaction. These
changes were made to coincide with the new Form 1099-B basis reporting.
The number of filers affected: 21,000,000.
Alternative Minimum Tax: The AMT exemption amount was increased to
$48,450 ($74,450 if married filing jointly or a qualified widow;
$37,225 if married filing separately).
Had this legislation not been enacted, at least 20 million
additional taxpayers would have been required to file Form 6251,
Alternative Minimum Tax.

Expired Provisions

The Making Work Pay Credit expired.
The number of filers who claimed this provision in 2010:
100,000,000.
IRS Discretionary Changes--IRS discretionary changes include
expanded e-file availability, registration fees for paid preparers, and
fees for a new competency exam for certain preparers.
Discretionary changes also include a change for the repayment of
the first-time homebuyer credit. Repayment may now be made without
attaching Form 5405.
The number of filers affected: 550,000.
These initiatives have a net effect of a slight decrease in time
that is not shown due to rounding as well as a net effect of increasing
money burden.
Total--Taken together, the changes discussed above have decreased
the total reported burden by 22,000,000 hours.
Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collections.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 153,200,000.
Total Estimated Time: 2.679 billion hours (2,679,000,000 hours).
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 17.49 hours.
Total Estimated Out-of-Pocket Costs: $34.131 billion
($34,131,000,000).
Estimated Out-of-Pocket Cost per Respondent: $230.
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.

Request for Comments

Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or

[[Page 78338]]

included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates
of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and
purchase of services to provide information.
