SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: PTIN Supplemental Application
For Foreign Persons Without a Social
Security Number.
OMB Number: 1545–2189.
Form Number: 8946.
Abstract: Form 8946 is used by
foreign persons without a social security
number (SSN) who want to prepare tax
returns for compensation. Foreign
persons who are tax return preparers
must obtain a preparer tax identification
number (PTIN) to prepare tax returns for
compensation. Generally, the IRS
requires an individual to provide an
SSN to get a PTIN. Because foreign
persons cannot get an SSN, they must
file Form 8946 to establish their identity
and status as a foreign person.
Current Actions: There were editorial
edits made to the internal only box of
form 8946. However, these edits did not
affect the burden estimates.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,466.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 5.27
hrs.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 23,536.
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:
