The collection of information is required to obtain permission to file a late entity classification election. The information will be reported on Form 8832 or submitted as part of a letter ruling request. Revenue procedure 2010–32, provides that, if the requirements of the revenue procedure are satisfied, the IRS will treat an election under § 301.7701–3(c) to classify a foreign eligible entity that is a qualified entity (as defined in section 3.02 of the revenue procedure) as a partnership or disregarded entity as an election to be treated as a partnership or disregarded entity (as appropriate) rather than as an association taxable as a corporation. Form 8832 will be used by qualified entities to seek relief under the revenue procedure. As a result of these changes, we estimate an annual increase in burden by 12,700 hours. This form is being submitted for renewal purposes only. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations, Farms.
