SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Casualties and Thefts.
OMB Number: 1545–0177.
Form Number: 4684.
Abstract: Form 4684 is used by
taxpayers to compute their gain or loss
from casualties or thefts, and to
summarize such gains and losses. The
data is used to verify that the correct
gain or loss has been computed.
Current Actions: The department
added a new section (Section C) which
incorporates Appendix A from Revenue
Procedure 2009–20. It will require
taxpayers, claiming a theft loss
deduction due to a Ponzi-type
investment scheme and using the
procedures in Rev. Proc. 2009–20, to
include specific information supporting
key eligibility requirements. In addition,
the Department estimates an increase of
51,650 responses based on its most
recent data on Form 4684 filings. The
addition of section C and the estimated
increase in the number of responses will
increase the estimated annual burden
hours from 1,486,659 to 1,830,400.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households and business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
320,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 5
hrs., 43 min.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,830,400.
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.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or 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
PO 00000

information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
