SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS, in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the
general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on
proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps the IRS assess the impact and minimize the burden of its
information collection requirements. 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

Tax 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 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.
