Mr. Durbala,
You had asked for burden estimates for Individual
(1545-0074) forms. The Office of Research now produces the estimates of
taxpayer burden for individual filers. However, we no longer produce them
on a form-by-form basis. Rather, we produce the estimates for individual
taxpayers, regardless of which forms they file. The burden model we use
not only estimates burden in terms of the taxpayers' time, but also estimates
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by taxpayers in complying with the tax
law.
The model is based on a taxpayer survey conducted in
1999 and 2000. The model takes the survey results, and statistically
matches those results to workload production data (the Continuous Work History
Sample). The burden estimates are projected for all individual
filers. Again, the model doesn't separate out individual forms, although
we can provide estimates for 1040 filers, 1040-A filers, and 1040-EZ filers, if
that helps.
I'm attaching a copy of our draft input to Forms
and Publications for the 2007 1040 instructions. This input not only
includes the numbers we provided, but also includes a brief discussion of the
methodology. Please bear in mind this is still just a draft, but I hope
it helps. Please let me know if you have any
additional questions.

Hi, Mike:
This request is for you. Mr. Durbala is still
thinking of ADL form-based burden reporting.
Thanks,
Wu-Lang
Wu-Lang,
Our office has begun the process to extend the OMB
approval of the Individual (1545-0074) series of forms. One
of the requirements of the submission process is that we provide a summary
of the burden calculation for each form. Because our
office no longer computes the burden, I have been instructed to contact you
for that information.
Can you please provide me summaries of the burden
computation for each form listed under the Individual (1545-0074) approval
number.
Attached is a list of the forms that were considered to
be included in the (-0074) series. We will need to make our
submission no later than November 1, 2006. For this reason, we are
requesting that you provide our office with the
computation summaries no later than October 27,
2006.
If you have any questions, please let me
know.
Sincerely,
R.

Hi Joe,
The man's name is Wu-Lang Lee (874-0531). He works for
Research.
Hi
Joe,
Re:
1545-0074, getting this ready and entered in ROCIS now is not rushing it
because 2
months is the normal processing time period. And this is obviously
a huge
submission that will take time to be prepared and
reviewed.
Thanks
for the response to the items at the bottom of the
email.
