This form is
used by individual and other taxpayers. The portion of the burden
imposed on individual taxpayers is approved under OMB Control
Number 1545-0074. In its next submission under this OMB Control
Number, the agency is instructed to ensure that the estimate of
burden associated with this Control Number includes only the burden
imposed on non-individual taxpayers. If the agency finds that the
current burden estimate includes burden imposed on individual
taxpayers, it must immediately submit an adjustment request that
eliminates this double-counting.
