SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
These are forms used by tax-exempt organizations. These include
Forms 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, 990-PF, 990-T, and related forms and
schedules tax-exempt organizations attach to their returns. In
addition, there are numerous Treasury Decisions and guidance documents
that are covered by the burden estimate provided in this notice.
Taxpayer Compliance Burden
Tax compliance burden is defined as the time and money taxpayers
spend to comply with their tax filing responsibilities. Time-related
activities include recordkeeping, tax planning, gathering tax
materials, learning about the law and what you need to do, and
completing and submitting the return. Out-of-pocket costs include
expenses such as purchasing tax software, paying a third-party
preparer, and printing and postage. Tax compliance burden does not
include a taxpayer's tax liability, economic inefficiencies caused by
sub-optimal choices related to tax deductions or credits, or
psychological costs.
