SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions.
    OMB Number: 1545-0715.
    Form Project Number: Form 1099-B.
    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 6045 requires the filing of 
an information return by brokers to report the gross proceeds from 
transactions and by barter exchanges to report exchanges of property or 
services. Form 1099-B is used to report proceeds from these 
transactions to the Internal Revenue Service.
    Current Actions: Updates to the estimated number of annual 
responses for Form 1099-B will increase the overall burden estimate by 
1,262,659,912 hours.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, business, or other for-
profit organization.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 4,364,843,800.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 30 Min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,182,421,900.
    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 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: September 21, 2023.
Ronald J. Durbala,
IRS Tax Analyst.
