SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is currently seeking comments
concerning the following information collection tools, reporting, and
record-keeping requirements:
Title: Employee Retention Credit for Employers Affected by
Qualified Disaster.
OMB Number: 1545-1978.
Form Number: Form 5884-A.
[[Page 66175]]
Abstract: Form 5884-A is used to figure certain credits for
disaster area employers. These credits typically include employee
retention credits for eligible employers who conducted an active trade
or business in certain disaster areas. The credit is equal to 40
percent of qualified wages for each eligible employee (up to a maximum
of $6,000 in qualified wages per employee). The estimates in this
notice are for estates and trusts filing Form 5884-A.
Current Actions: There is no change to the burden previously
approved by OMB. However, the estimated number of responses was reduced
to eliminate duplication of burden estimates. The estimated burden for
individuals filing Form 5884-A is approved under OMB control number
1545-0074, and the estimated burden for businesses filing Form 5884-A
is approved under OMB control number 1545-0123.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, and
farms.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 120.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 2.55 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 306.
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. 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 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: August 8, 2024.
