SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

1. Title: Third-Party Disclosure Requirements in IRS Regulations.

OMB Control Number: 1545-1466.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Description: Taxpayers must obtain third-party certification or documentation to avail themselves of certain credits, deductions or other benefits permitted by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Similarly, the receipt of other third-party information often provides a safe-harbor on which taxpayers may rely to avail themselves of certain credits, deductions or other benefits permitted by the IRC. Further, although taxpayers do not have to submit the documents or information to claim the credits, deductions, or tax benefits, they are required to maintain the documentation with their books and records, which facilitates the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination of the claimed credit, deduction, or tax benefit during any audit of taxpayer's return. The third parties required to provide this certification, documentation, or information generally collect the required information in the ordinary course of their business. Accordingly, while requiring third-parties to disclose this information is not a significant burden, it allows taxpayers to legitimately minimize their tax burden the by claiming credits, deductions, and other tax benefits that Congress has authorized and facilitates the IRS verification of the taxpayers' claims on audit.
