SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Reporting of health insurance coverage.
OMB Number: 1545-2252.
Project Number: TD 9660, Form 1094-B, and Form 1095-B.
Abstract: This collection covers final regulations providing
guidance to providers of minimum essential health coverage that are
subject to the information reporting requirements of section 6055 of
the Internal Revenue Code. Section 6055 requires every person who
provides minimum essential coverage to file returns reporting
information for everyone for whom they provide minimum essential
coverage. Form 1095-B, Health Coverage, was created for reporting this
information. Form 1094-B, Transmittal of Health Coverage Information
Returns, is used to transmit Form 1095-B.
Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden
previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal
purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, not-
for-profit institutions, farms, and state, local, or tribal
governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 125,030,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 11 min.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,088,333.
The following paragraph applies to all 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 if 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.
Desired Focus of Comments: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is
particularly interested in comments that:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary
[[Page 1486]]
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility.
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., by permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the ICR for OMB approval of the extension of the
information collection; they will also become a matter of public
record.
Approved: January 5, 2022.
Ronald J. Durbala,
IRS Tax Analyst.
