Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Updates to FY2025 estimates resulted in a 2.6% increase in total monetized burden. This includes an increase to the filer population but is primarily driven by a shift in the composition of the underlying tax return data and revised legislative estimates based on filing data. The Fiscal Year 2026 population adjustments transition the underlying data file from Fiscal Year 2025 to Fiscal Year 2026 which includes aging the data for macroeconomic factors and adjusting weights to account for changes in the year-over-year population differences. A forecasted increase in filers is expected to lead to an increase in time burden and out-of-pocket costs. Forecasted changes in macroeconomic factors are also expected to lead to increases in average monetized time, out-of-pocket costs, and total monetized burden. These changes in the filer population and macroeconomic factors are expected to increase total monetized burden by 2.5%. This includes a 0.5% increase in time burden and a 2.6% increase in out-of-pocket costs. Altogether, these technical adjustments increased total monetized burden by 5.2%. This includes a 1.1% increase in the filer population, a 2.8% increase in time burden, and a 5.1% increase in out-of-pocket costs.
