SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is currently seeking comments
concerning the following information collection tools, reporting, and
record-keeping requirements:
Title: Reporting of Health Insurance Coverage.
OMB Control Number: 1545-2252.
Form Number: Form 1094-B and 1095-B.
Regulation Project Number: TD 9660.
Abstract: Treasury Decision (TD) 9660 imposes the reporting
requirement under section 1502 of the Affordable Care Act (section 6055
of the Internal Revenue Code) on health insurance issuers, employer-
sponsored self-insured plans and government-sponsored programs that
provide minimum essential coverage. The IRS developed Form 1095-B,
Health Coverage, to report this information about individuals who are
covered by minimum essential coverage. Form 1094-B, Transmittal of
Health Coverage Information Returns, serves as a transmittal for Form
1095-B.
Current Actions: There is no change to the previously approved
collection.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, not-
for-profit institutions, and state, local, or tribal governments.
Estimated Number of Responses: 570,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 11 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 104,500.
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.
