SUPPORTING STATEMENT

(IRS Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedules K and P)



1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OFINFORMATION


Section 6011(c) of the Internal Revenue Code requires IC‑DISCs and former IC‑DISCs to file returns as the Secretary prescribes by forms or regulations. Form 1120‑IC‑DISC, Schedule K, and Schedule P are the forms prescribed by the Secretary under 26 CFR 1.6011‑2.


2. USE OF DATA


The IRS uses the information on Form 1120‑IC‑DISC to verify that the IC‑DISC has correctly computed its taxable income and that shareholders of the IC‑DISC are properly identified. The shareholders are taxed on IC‑DISC income that is either deemed or actually distributed.


The IRS uses Schedule K (Form 1120‑IC‑DISC) to verify that shareholders of the IC‑DISC have correctly reported the IC‑DISC income on their income tax returns and have paid any interest charge due on their share of the IC‑DISC's deferred DISC income that was reported to them on Schedule K.


The IRS uses Schedule P (1120‑IC‑DISC) to verify that the IC‑DISC has used correct intercompany pricing rules in reporting transactions between the IC‑DISC and related suppliers.


3. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN


Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedules K and P cannot be filed electronically, since their relatively low volume does not justify the cost electronic enabling.


4. EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY DUPLICATION


We have attempted to eliminate duplication within the agency wherever possible.

Periodic meetings are held between IRS personnel and representatives of the American Bar Association, the National Society of Public Accountants, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and other professional groups to discuss tax law and tax forms. During these meetings, there is an opportunity for those attending to make comments regarding Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedules K and P.


In response to the Federal Register notice (71FR 44769), dated August 7, 2006, we received no comments during the comment period regarding Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedules K and P.

  1. ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS


As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated August 7, 2006, requested public comments on estimates of cost burden that are not captured in the estimates of burden hours, i.e., estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. However, we did not receive any response from taxpayers on this subject. As a result, estimates of the cost burdens are not available at this time.


14. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT


The primary cost to the government consists of the cost of printing these forms. We estimate that the cost of printing the forms is $4,785.


15. REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN


There were no changes to the total burden approved by OMB.


These forms are being submitted for renewal purposes.
