This study is designed to collect the
amount of time and money Wage & Investment taxpayers incur as a
result of the Federal income tax law and regulations. This new
method will be a valuable tool in the IRS's ongoing effort to
improve customer service, as well as for policy makers to
understand the full effect of tax law changes. In particular, it
will help the IRS understand the burdens placed on its customers by
the Federal tax system-its laws, its administration, and changes to
those factors.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
