Title: Qualified Severance of a Trust for Generation-Skipping
Transfer (GST) Tax Purposes.
OMB Number: 1545-1902.
Regulation Project Number: TD 9348 and TD 9421.
Abstract: This previously approved Regulation requires taxpayers to
report a qualified severance by filing a Form 706-GS(T), or such other
form that may be published by the Internal Revenue Service in the
future that is specifically designated to be utilized to report
qualified severances. Where Form 706-GS(T) is used, the filer should
attach a Notice of Qualified Severance to the return that clearly
identifies the trust that is being severed and the new trusts created
as a result of the severance. The Notice must also provide the
inclusion ratio of the trust that was severed and the inclusion ratios
of the new trusts resulting from the severance. The information
collected will be used by the IRS to identify the trusts being severed
and the new trusts created upon severance. The collection of
information is required in order to have a qualified severance.
Current Actions: There is no change to the existing collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Responses: 650.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 2 hours, 8 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,352.
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

proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
