SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) Application and
Associated Forms.
OMB Number: 1545-2312.
Form Numbers: 14234 and sub-forms A, B, C, D, E, F.
Abstract: The Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) is strictly a
voluntary program available to Large Business and International
Division (LB&I) taxpayers that meet the selection criteria. CAP is a
real-time review of completed business transactions during the CAP year
with the goal of providing certainty of the tax return within 60 days
of the filing. Taxpayers in CAP are required to be cooperative and
transparent and report all material issues and items related to
completed business transactions to the review team.
Current Actions: There are two new forms being added to the
Information Collection Request. Form 14234-E, Compliance Assurance
Process (CAP) Cross Border Activities Questionnaire (CBAQ), is used by
the IRS for risk assessment purposes to review a taxpayer's material
cross border activities transactions (other than transfer pricing) in
the CAP year. Form 14234-F Post-Filing Representation by Taxpayer
requires that the corporate officer, authorized to sign the tax return
of the CAP taxpayer, attest that all material issues from the pre-
filing review have been disclosed and resolved, and all resolved issues
are reported as agreed on the company's tax return.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 125.
Estimated Number of Responses: 875.
Estimated Time per Response: 5.35 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,680 hours.
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.
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
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
Approved: March 18, 2024.
Jason M. Schoonmaker,
Tax Analyst.
