On pages 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 we added a new Box 5 “Section 199A REIT dividends” and a $ sign. This new box is needed to help the recipients calculate the deduction they may be allowed under Sec 199A as qualified business income. As a result boxes 5 through 14 were renumbered to 6 through 15. This has increased the burden by a total of 1,566,790 total annual hours.
There is also a change in the updated filing estimates in response to this Form. Filings decreased from 87,476,600 to 78,339,500 a decrease of 9,137,100 filings and resulting in a decrease of total burden hours of 3,563,469.
The decrease in estimated filing figures offsets the increase in burden, resulting in a total burden decrease of (1,996,679) hours.
