Current Actions: IRS is adding Form 5558 to the OMB approval for 1545– 1610. Additionally, IRS is making the following revisions to the Form 5558 to allow for electronic filing with the Department of Labor’s (DOL) ERISA Filing Acceptance System (EFAST2). Currently, Form 5558 is used by a filer to request an extension of time to file Form 5500 series, Form 8955–SSA as well as the Form 5330, Return of Excise Taxes Related to Employee Benefit Plans. Form 5558 does not extend the time to pay the excise taxes. Any tax due for Form 5330 filers must be paid with Form 5558 for the application for an extension of time to file Form 5330. The DOL EFAST2 system will not take the IRS tax payment. Thus, the IRS will revise Form 5558 to remove the items about the extension of time to file Form 5330. This will allow DOL to electronically collect the form. The Form 5558 will be used to solely request extensions on the Form 5500 series and Form 8955–SSA. The payment information from Form 5558 will be incorporated into Form 8868. The Form 8868 will be revised to allow extensions for Form 5330 and payment of excise tax due. Form 8868 will only allow for the extension to file, and will not extend the payment of the excise tax. The pension plan burden for the Form 8868 revision will be covered under 1545– 0575. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations, individuals and households, not-for profit institutions, and farms. Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 1,471,958. Estimated Total Number of Responses: 1,471,958. Estimated Total Frequency of Response: 1. Estimated Total Average of Hours per Response: 2.4. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,138,922. Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Melody Braswell, Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
