This form is used by individual and other taxpayers. The portion of the burden imposed on individual taxpayers is approved under OMB Control Number 1545-0074. In its next submission under this OMB Control Number, the agency is instructed to ensure that the estimate of burden associated with this Control Number includes only the burden imposed on non-individual taxpayers. If the agency finds that the current burden estimate includes burden imposed on individual taxpayers, it must immediately submit an adjustment request that eliminates this double-counting.
