    Type of Review: Extension.

    Title: Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

    Description: The Internal Revenue Service, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This notice requests comments on all forms used by individual taxpayers: Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and Schedules A, B, C, C-EZ, D, D-1, E, EIC, F, H, J, R, and SE; Form 1040A and Schedules 1, 2, and 3; Form 1040EZ; and all attachments to these forms (see the Appendix to this notice). With this notice, the IRS is again announcing significant changes to (1) the manner in which tax forms used by individual taxpayers will be approved under the PRA and (2) its method of estimating the paperwork burden imposed on individual taxpayers.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Change in PRA Approval of Forms Used by Individual Taxpayers

    Under the PRA, OMB assigns a control number to each “collection of information” that it reviews and approves for use by an agency. A single information collection may consist of one or more forms, recordkeeping requirements, and/or third-party disclosure requirements. Under the PRA and OMB regulations, agencies have the discretion to seek separate OMB approvals for individual forms, recordkeeping requirements, and third-party reporting requirements or to combine any number of forms, recordkeeping requirements, and/or third-party disclosure requirements (usually related in subject matter) under one OMB Control Number. Agency decisions on whether to group individual requirements under a single OMB Control Number or to disaggregate them and request separate OMB Control Numbers are based largely on considerations of administrative practicality.

    The PRA also requires agencies to estimate the burden for each collection of information. Accordingly, each OMB Control Number has an associated burden estimate. The burden estimates for each control number are displayed in (1) the PRA notices that accompany collections of information, (2) Federal Register notices such as this one, and (3) in OMB's database of approved information collections. If more than one form, recordkeeping requirement, and/or third-party disclosure requirement is approved under a single control number, then the burden estimate for that control number reflects the burden associated with all of the approved forms, recordkeeping requirements, and/or third-party disclosure requirements.

    As described below under the heading “New Burden Model,” the IRS' new Individual Taxpayer Burden Model (ITBM) estimates of taxpayer burden are based on taxpayer characteristics and activities, taking into account, among other things, the forms and schedules generally used by those groups of individual taxpayers and the recordkeeping and other activities needed to complete those forms. The ITBM represents the first phase of a long-term effort to improve the ability of IRS to measure the burden imposed on various groups of taxpayers by the Federal tax system. While the new methodology provides a more accurate and comprehensive description of individual taxpayer burden, it does not estimate burden on a form-by-form basis, as has been done under the previous methodology. When the prior model was developed in the mid-1980s, almost all tax returns were prepared manually, either by the taxpayer or a paid provider. In this context, it was determined that estimating burden on a form-by-form basis was an appropriate methodology. Today, about 85 percent of all individual tax returns are prepared utilizing computer software (either by the taxpayer or a paid provider), and about 15 percent are prepared manually. In this environment, in which many taxpayers' activities are no longer as directly associated with particular forms, estimating burden on a form-by-form basis is not an appropriate measurement of taxpayer burden. The new model, which takes into account broader and more comprehensive taxpayer characteristics and activities, provides a much more accurate and useful estimate of taxpayer burden.

    Currently, there are 195 forms used by individual taxpayers. These include Forms 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, and their schedules and all the forms individual taxpayers attach to their tax returns (see the Appendix to this notice). For most of these forms, IRS has in the past obtained separate OMB approvals under unique OMB Control Numbers and separate burden estimates. Since the ITBM does not estimate burden on a form-by-form basis, IRS is no longer able to provide burden estimates for each tax form used by individuals. The ITBM estimates the aggregate burden imposed on individual taxpayers, based upon their tax-related characteristics and activities. IRS therefore will seek OMB approval of all 195 individual tax forms as a single “collection of information.” The aggregate burden of these tax forms will be accounted for under OMB Control Number 1545-0074, which is currently assigned to Form 1040 and its schedules. OMB Control Number 1545-0074 will be displayed on all individual tax forms and other information collections.

    As a result of this change, burden estimates for individual taxpayers will now be displayed differently in PRA Notices on tax forms and other information collections, and in Federal Register notices. This new way of displaying burden is presented below under the heading “PRA Submission to OMB.” Since a number of forms used by individual taxpayers are also used by corporations, partnerships, and other kinds of taxpayers, there will be a transition period during which IRS will report different burden estimates for individual taxpayers and for other taxpayers using the same forms. For those forms used by both individual and other taxpayers, IRS will display two OMB Control Numbers (1545-0074 and the OMB Control Numbers currently assigned to these forms) and provide two burden estimates. The burden estimates for individual taxpayers will be reported and accounted for as described in this notice. The burden estimates for other users of these forms Start Printed Page 76428will be determined under existing methodology based on form length and complexity.[1]

    New Burden Model

    Data from the new ITBM revises the estimates of the levels of burden experienced by individual taxpayers when complying with the Federal tax laws. It replaces the earlier burden measurement developed in the mid-1980s. Since that time, improved technology and modeling sophistication have enabled the IRS to improve the burden estimates. The new model provides taxpayers and the IRS with a more comprehensive understanding of the current levels of taxpayer burden. It reflects major changes over the past two decades in the way taxpayers prepare and file their returns. The new ITBM also represents a substantial step forward in the IRS' ability to assess likely impacts of administrative and legislative changes on individual taxpayers.

    The ITBM's approach to measuring burden focuses on the characteristics and activities of individual taxpayers rather than the forms they use. Key determinants of taxpayer burden in the model are the way the taxpayer prepares the return (e.g. with software or paid preparer) and the taxpayer's activities, such as recordkeeping and tax planning. In contrast, the previous estimates primarily focused on the length and complexity of each tax form. The changes between the old and new burden estimates are due to the improved ability of the new methodology to measure burden and the expanded scope of what is measured. These changes create a one-time shift in the estimate of burden levels that reflects the better measurement of the new model. The differences in estimates between the models do not reflect any change in the actual burden experienced by taxpayers. Comparisons should not be made between these and the earlier published estimates, because the models measure burden in different ways.

    Methodology

    Burden is defined as the time and out-of-pocket costs incurred by taxpayers to comply with the Federal tax system. For the first time, the time expended and the out-of-pocket costs are estimated separately. The new methodology distinguishes among preparation methods, taxpayer activities, types of individual taxpayer, filing methods, and income levels. Indicators of complexity in tax laws as reflected in tax forms and instructions are incorporated in the model. The new model follows IRS' classification of taxpayer types: individual taxpayers are taxpayers who file any type of Form 1040. “Self-Employed” taxpayers are individual taxpayers who file a Form 1040 and a Schedule C, C-EZ, E, or F, or Form 2106. All other individual taxpayers using a Form 1040 are “Wage and Investment” taxpayers.

    The taxpayer's choice of preparation method is identified as a major factor influencing burden levels. The preparation methods are:

    • Self-prepared without software
    • Self-prepared with software
    • Used a paid tax preparer

    The separate types of taxpayer activities measured in the model are:

    • Recordkeeping
    • Form completion
    • Form submission (electronic and paper)
    • Tax planning
    • Use of services (IRS and paid professional)
    • Gathering tax materials

    Taxpayer Burden Estimates

    Tables 1, 2, and 3 show the burden model estimates. In tax year 2003 the burden of all individual taxpayers filing Forms 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ averaged about 23 hours per return filed, or a total of more than 3 billion hours. Similarly, the average out-of-pocket taxpayer costs were estimated to be $179 per return filed or a total of $23.4 billion. Including associated forms and schedules, taxpayers filing Form 1040 had an average burden of about 30 hours, taxpayers filing Form 1040A averaged about 9 hours, and those filing 1040 EZ averaged about 7 hours.

    The data shown are the best estimates from tax returns filed for 2003 currently available as of June 27, 2005. The estimates are subject to change as new forms and data become available. Estimates for combinations of major forms and schedules commonly used will be available and the most up-to-date estimates and supplementary information can be found on the IRS Web site: http://www.irs.gov.
