Type of Review: New Collection.
Title: Retirement Savings Module of
the Household Financial Survey.
Abstract: The Treasury Department is
seeking OMB approval for an
information collection to inform its
administration of a new federal program
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
being launched this year that aims to
enable more low- and moderate-income
individuals to save for retirement.
As part of its work to launch the
program, Treasury is exploring several
approaches for enabling eligible
individuals to open and put savings into
the retirement accounts, including the
option of encouraging individuals to
open and fund the accounts when they
file their federal tax forms. The
Department contracted with the Center
for Social Development (CSD) at
Washington University in St. Louis to
assist with research on this topic. CSD
currently administers an annual
privately-funded survey, the Household
Financial Survey (HFS), through which
it gathers savings information from lowto moderate-income tax filers
immediately after they have filed their
tax forms. This national survey is
integrated into the no-cost version of
Intuit’s TurboTax tax preparation
software, and it reaches a significant
sample of people who could be eligible
for the accounts.
Starting in the 2015 tax filing season,
CSD will add a Treasury-funded
Retirement Savings Module to the 2015
HFS survey. The module will consist of
a series of questions focused on
individuals’ current retirement savings
goals, practices, and attitudes
surrounding retirement, along with
questions designed to glean insights on
the potential demand for the new
retirement savings accounts, such as
what aspects of the program would be
desirable to low- to moderate income
consumers, and whether these taxpayers
may be interested in opening an account
at tax time.
The 2015 iteration of the HFS survey
will be administered throughout the taxfiling season (January through April
2015). The HFS survey is distributed
electronically and takes approximately
20 minutes to complete. The Treasuryfunded Retirement Savings Module,
which will be added for the first time to
the 2015 HFS, is intended to take less
than 10 minutes (approximately 1⁄2 of
the time needed to complete the overall
survey). Participants will be invited to
complete the survey when they file their
federal income taxes. Participation in
the survey will be voluntary.
The information collected through the
Treasury-funded Retirement Savings
Module of the HFS will provide
baseline characteristics, needs, and
practices of a segment of the population
targeted by the federal program.
Affected Public: Individuals.
