SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is seeking comments concerning the
following form, and reporting and record-keeping requirements:
Title: PTIN Supplemental Application for U.S. Citizens Without A
Social Security Number Due To Conscientious Religious Objection.
OMB Number: 1545-2188.
Form Number: 8945.
Abstract: Form 8945 is used by U.S. citizens who are members of
certain recognized religious groups that want to prepare tax returns
for compensation. Most individuals applying for a Preparer Tax
Identification Number (PTIN) will have a social security number, which
will be used to help establish their identity. However, there exists a
population of U.S. residents that are religious objectors and do not
have social security numbers. Form 8945 was created to assist that
population in establishing their identity while applying for a PTIN.
Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden
previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal
purposes.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 7 hrs., 11 min.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,590.
The following paragraph applies to all of 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.
[[Page 21176]]
Books or records 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 Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval of the relevant information
collection. All comments will become a matter of public record. Please
do not include any confidential or inappropriate material in your
comments.
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 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 the
requested information.
