Form Number: Form 1041-QFT.
Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 685 allows the trustee
certain trusts to make an election for the trust to be taxed as a
qualified funeral trust (QFT). The trustee of a QFT files Form 1041-QFT
to report the income, deductions, gains, losses, and tax liability of
the QFT. The IRS uses the information on the form to determine that the
trustee filed the proper return and paid the correct tax.
Current Actions: There is a change to the existing collection. A
line is being added to the form to include the elective payment
election amount reported on Form 3800.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Responses: 15,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 20 hours, 40 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 310,350.

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: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
