Short Statement: There have been no changes to the form that would affect burden. However, the agency has updated the estimated number of responses, based on its most recent data and creation of OMB Control Number’s 1545-0074 and 1545-0123. All business filer estimates (including the worksheet burden) are being reported under 1545-0123, individual filing estimates under 1545-0074, and all other filers are being reported under this control number (1545-0184). This change results in a decrease of 1,688,957 responses (from 1,993,957 to 325,000), with a change in overall burden hours of 84,178,498 (from 100,633,248 to 16,454,750).
